Sport band going green

[andybno1]

Anyone recommend cleaning stuff in the uk that's good for cleaning sport bands? I have the blue one and where the strap tucks in it is going green and can't seem to get rid with water and soap

I would suspect the actual color of the band is changing in this area and there is nothing to wash off.

Oh right well these sport bands don't last long do they.....had this since launch

It is possible that Apple will exchange it for a new one. Does not hurt to ask.

This is really good advice. I would not be shocked if they replace it, b.c that sounds defective.

well spoke to apple support on the phone they have a case number for me and said it's covered under warranty so should be replaced free of charge..... just a case of getting an appointment in local apple store now

Best of luck on getting an appointment. Glad it worked out.

Glad to see they're replacing it for you... make sure to inquire about the best method of cleaning those - if that info doesn't come with the band.

I would avoid the apple store for more then a day or two. Its going to be crazy there for a little while.
