Joined the Apple Watch gang. Series 11 - 42mm in Rose Gold. I love it so far! Would love to find a genuine peony apple band but that color seems htf. (Would upload a photo but it’s not allowing me to for some odd reason…)

Hey there! Welcome to the Apple Watch community! Just a heads-up: the Peony Sport Band is no longer available sold at Apple Store. To find a similar strap, you might want to check out third-party sellers or  authorized resellers like Best Buy or TJ Maxx for older releases. Plus, you could save some money this way! I snagged a Plum Gen 2 Sport Band for just $15. Oh, and those $12 leather bands like the Modern Buckle were fantastic too!

I also have the same watch, and love it with a pink band. I recommend keeping an eye peeled at Woot. They have offered solo loops in discontinued colors; I recently bought a Sprout, from Spring 2023. There’s an option to leave Woot a message so I asked when they were going to get more colors, specifically Peony and Northern Lights. The response was “as soon as we can find inventory.” So I check every few days and remain hopeful. I also check eBay for new-in-box solo loops but haven’t had luck there.

I haven't made the plunge yet... Have to get to the store and check out the Series 11 in Space Gray. From the pics. I like the titanium in Slate. Not looking to spend that much on my first go around though.

OH also, if I’m ordering from woot to make sure the band is the correct size for older bands; do I buy a 38, 40 or 42mm band? Want to make sure it fits!

No problem! To upload images tap on attach files on the bottom of the reply box. Then tap photo library, tap your watch photo, the blue checkmark and it’ll show up on the bottom. Tap on insert on the thumbnail then full image it will appear on the reply draft.

Yep you still don’t want to spend too much on slate right? Here’s what space grey looks like:

Lighter than the past space grey from series 6 and earlier. This new one is like the space grey of the MacBook Air 💻

Yep, Woot is legit. I’ve bought three from them so far for a total of $50, which is hard to beat. It’s a shame they’ve sold out of most colors in the most common sizes, I really wanted a Sunglow. Fingers crossed they get more.

If you were to buy one of the old colors for your new Series 11, you’d pick the “small watch” model from the two options you’re given, the one that says 38, 40, 41, 42. For instance, if I were ordering my size (5) for my 42mm watch, in the Marigold color:

Thanks for the pics! Would you get that size for yourself, or the 42mm, if you were buying one today?

I can’t waste my band collection of 8-9 years of Apple Watch bands since I had my series 1, so I still gotta go small. 42mm is the best choice for me if I’d get series 11 and I had the money for it.

If your bands weren't an issue, what look do you prefer on your wrist, 42mm or 46mm?
