I live in Canada where a band at the Apple Store is $60.00 - compared to $3 (and free shipping) direct from China. The bands I have from Apple are not $57 worth of better quality. In fact, the (minuscule difference) thinner bands from China fit me better. They wrap better around my arm as they're not as stiff.
I have a Ceramic S5 - so it's not like I'm cheap - it's truly just that the Chinese bands are great quality for the $ and fit better for me. I'd say for the $ - everyone should try at least one. It's like $2USD shipped free... 🤣 Worth a try. Plus I love the double pin models...
canada here as well. Taobao would make people disagree that clones aren’t as good. my bands from the famous seller are easily the same as legit apple. i have both and they’ve lived the same life and still can’t feel or see the difference. a fraction of the price.
Me too, whereabouts? I’m in Welly. Makes the whole band collecting a world more expensive, but I got some woven nylons for about half retail from a guy on Trademe. Gadgetimports I think.
Personal opinion, I know, but I can’t stand the look of those things... they also limit the freedom you have with one pin, meaning you have less adjustment. No thanks. Glad you like them, though.
Been waiting months for an affordable 40mm tropical teal band...somehow the 44mm+SS just wasn’t the vibe...of course the shoes did not wait to pick up dirt...
Red Stripe in Vegas. Orange Stripe might fit a bit better though. Either way- love the colors!
So when you asked us which bands to take on vacation it was a kind of Velveteen Rabbit situation?
Not sure I get the reference- just wanted outside opinions on which ones to take haha.
Depending your size, he has a Navy / Tahoe still in 38/40. He also has a few really cheap Sport Bands in 42/44 S/M only.
Space Grey with Pine Green Sport Loop. Third party but excellent quality.
URVOI STORE on AliExpress. Their copies are the best I’ve seen. Tight threads and very secure. Used to say I’d never buy third party bands but these are really good at approx £2.30 per band.
How long it took for delivery? I ordered 2 months ago and still hasn’t arrived, in ireland.
Trying to decide if I’m a woven girl.
