Hi guys:)
I'm thinking of selling my watch S9 SS together with 15 original bands (7 sports, 5 Nike sport, 2 milanese and 1 woven nylon)
Do you think £500 is a good price?

Black AWU2 just landed with me... Set it all up and for now I'll run the Ultimal straps I had with my previous AWU

They fit my larger than average wrists well and are comfy

I've fitted a Spigen Slim case too, to keep the AWU2 protected from my habit of lifting stupidly heavy things (and gardening, faffing with cars etc) 😂

I know a lot of folk don't like the cases but for me they're a necessity

I dunno. I feel like the challenge is in finding someone willing to take over the 15 watch bands from you, much less pay a reasonable price for all of them (I have pretty much stuck with 1 band for years). I find the Apple Watch is a rather personal device (it's on your wrist and has in contact with your sweat and grime and dirt), and while I know it can be clean and sanitised, there's still the "ick" factor that makes me rather buy a brand new watch than look for a second-hand one, however cheap it may be.

Similar to headphones. You just don't know where those headphones have been. :oops:
 
🔥 both the iPhone 16 pro and Apple Watch band match each other perfectly!!!

How are you feeling about the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 now? I tried it on yesterday and still looks bold as a brick 🧱 should be.

Agreed 100% – may be the best Trail Loop yet.
And even before Apple announced this band i saw Amazon selling it with these trail loop replicas…

This is my favorite AW since the Series 4 SB! The color is incredible. I am not in love with the Alpine Loop colors this year, I thought this was the best one. The Alpine loop is my go to band before this one, and I was hoping they released an Orange one. Have to wait another year I guess lol. I have the black Trail loop on the way, which I really looking forward to. From the pictures it looks really good.

I think the Lake Green and orange leather MagSafe wallet are a match made in heaven.

I think you did great with the Dark Green; it’s a very nice band. I, too, really hope we get a “Dark Orange” next year. An Alpine Loop with an earthy, rust-orange color would be amazing.

Thanks! I am liking it more the more I use it, but still not my Orange and Indigo Alpine Loops. I almost went for the Tan one as well, but thought better of it.

Yes that orange sounds amazing! Lets cross our fingers!

Indeed. There is a dark blue trail loop I tried on; it’s not bad. Matches the bold look of the black titanium. It is named the Blue Trail Loop.

I miss these leather links! They are like the leather loop but with more options for the smaller Apple Watch models.

Legit ones still available on eBay. I’ve bought 4 off there and totally legit.

Indeed. There are still loads about on eBay, I can find every colour in the UK for £30-42 (retail was £100 new), except Umber which I'd really like. Picked up two Golden Brown ones for £30 each, as it's by far my favourite band ever, and I wanted a spare.

Interestingly enough, I've heard through a friend at Apple, that these are often returns, or simply unused stock at the end of season, that Apple sells directly on dirt cheap to resellers in bulk. Makes sense as new these straps must be pure margin.

I've never had a "rough" one from a seller that sells the boxed ones.

I have the California Poppy, Saddle Brown, Golden Brown, and Baltic Blue.

I also have the original original bright blue leather loop from my gen1 watch.
