Yes it’s the same exact one. It is multicolored but Apple called it black. His photo caught the colors more but it’s the same band.
Got a tip for us?

S4 SS Gold, wearing my 3rd party link bracelet. It’s good but the connectors do stick out a tad.
Thank you. I bought a third party one and it’s more burgundy than anything!
No I’m not really, but at less than £3, I can’t really complain! I’ll take a photo tomorrow.
Here you go. I can actually see the multi colours in the photo, but in person it just looks burgundy!
Wish I could’ve got the stainless steel one but like this one just as much.
Got my Space Black Titanium today. Love the included dark grey band

I see what you’re saying. Yea I only buy oems. So there’s no disappointment, all those cheap ones are trying to copy the oems but it’s never exactly the same.
I’ve bought several copies and this one is the only one I’ve been slightly disappointed with.
eBay knock off Anchor Grey sport loop I’ve been using for a few days. Wasn’t too keen at first as I didn’t like the two-tone look but it’s grown on me. I would still prefer a solid dark grey sport loop - struggling to find one though, along with a solid dark blue one.
eBay knock offs are the way to go for me. I haven't been disappointed in any of the 8 or so I have. Especially when these 8 or so, in total, probably cost half of what one genuine band would.

I like that band, although I like the 2-toned ones anyway. I have the Khaki, Camel and Alaskan eBay knock offs. All 3 cost me less than £10. Plus I have one similar to yours.
Should be getting a black with white detail (Nike copy I think) and hyper grape eBay jobs through tomorrow.
Finally getting back in the watch game with a Series 4 stainless with a Best Buy special link bracelet that I think looks pretty damn nice for what it cost.
Can stainless gold owners recommend any good bands? I love the gold but the band selection is rather limited compared to the regular stainless.
if Apple had released a gold link bracelet, I probably would have gone with the gold.

After you said this, I looked at OEM’s on eBay. They are either the same or more than the Apple originals!
Yea eBay sellers love to up sale the OEMs. I’ve bought all my OEM bands on some type of sale at Best Buy. When I see one I really like I usually just wait to catch it on a sale. What’s nice about Best Buy is that they price match other retailers so even if another retailer has the band on sale, they’ll price match.
You must be talking about this band. Here is the official Nike one. It is one of my favorites, it is my daily one that I wear to work every day as it goes really well with my all black uniform with just enough pop from the reflective threads.
Yeah I think that’s it - they didn’t arrive today but are due tomorrow so I’ll stick pics up to compareYou must be talking about this band. Here is the official Nike one.

Checkout Ellsworth watch bands. I bought 5 or 6 from there. I swear they are last years Apple Watch bands. They come from China and take about a month. Exact same colors as last years Apple Watch bands also.
Any pinching of arm hair?
Never tried one of these bands, but, I keep thinking about it

Hyper grape and ‘black with white line’ eBay knock offs. £6 for the pair.
The black isn’t reflective, I don’t think and appears a bit lighter in the picture.
Happy with these!
