New bands! I scored these on eBay for next to nothing from a seller with no history. Bit of a gamble but for his asking price it was worth the risk. Not particularly found of either design but for the price you can't beat them; I paid for these two brand new in box what one sport band would cost me from Apple.

I wonder if Apple will ever bring back the woven nylon?

These look great! Would you mind sharing the eBay seller?

Very nice! I ordered a new in box Navy/Tahoe Woven Nylon on eBay for $14.95 arriving later this week! I’ve never tried them before so I’m looking forward to seeing how they are. Congrats on those, that’s a steal for sure considering that the yellow classic buckle retailed for $149 alone. Now let’s see them paired up with your watch!

Another band adds to my collection. It’s dangerously addictive 😂

The Nike Pride band is on its way 🤣

Can’t say I was even hunting light pink or even seen one outside Chargerstore but for under $20 I think papaya and spearmint have already been displaced as the best pastel color pop on white edition. Mercari listing looked a little dirty but as I expected it was mint and just needed a quick wipe.

I’m excited to be receiving mine soon!

Apple Watch S4. Took it off to have a shower at midnight and it dropped on the floor, don’t have AppleCare for the watch. I think for the cost of the replacement $495AUD, I’ll just wait until S6 comes out and get that

Must admit when I smashed my Apple Watch Series 2 at work some time ago I couldn’t believe it was cheaper to pick up a refurbished Apple Watch from Apple for the quote they gave me to fix the screen!

Tells you something about how Apple treats its customers...

Sorry to hear that.

What icon is in the top right corner? It almost looks like Lloyd, the Android logo...

Really?

Tells me it's more expensive to do all the manual handling of shipping and fixing a fiddly piece of tech with unknown damage by hand in a first world country than to replace it with one made in an automated mass production facility in a cheaper country. But then I'm maybe just too realistic and not as good at looking for every opportunity to find conspiracies.

And let's face it - who would rather have an entirely factory-fresh unit rather than their old one repaired so they could worry the repair was as good as new, and they can keep any minor cosmetic damage they have lovingly applied to the original through wearing it?

Damn Apple for policy of screwing customers who break products by accident by forcing them to have a whole new device for less money than fixing their broken one.

It's a tough one because it's very hard to replace the cracked the screen, they'd have to ship it away and do it at the factory to get to Apple standards. It's annoying for the watch to shatter like that after one drop though!

Navy/Tahoe Blue Woven Nylon Band. This is my first one of these and I never tried them. I really like it! It’s comfortable and a nice classic buckle style band. Definitely will be getting a couple more of these.

Where did you buy this band? Is this original or not?

Yes it’s original. From eBay, these Apple Woven Nylon Bands are being sold for a steal now that they’re long discontinued. I got it for $14.95 and it’s new with the original open box. Here’s a link to it. I just ordered the black one too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264660618834
I really like the black one on my SS. Oddly I don’t like it on my SBSS.

It looks soooo good! Everything looks just a little bit better on the stainless models, I think 😉
