Watch band storage trays, cases and boxes [MERGED]

choreographics said:
Hello, my name is Filip and I had an Apple Watch band problem—actually one how to store the growing collection. As for now I have about 18 bands, and I didn't want to keep them in a simple PP box from Muji (a pencil case to be more specific) hidden somewhere. The boxes are great, don't get it wrong, but I wanted something more custom, something that suits the bands more.

I decided to do some research—and some weeks and prototypes later I wanted to share the result with you. My solution is made of Plexiglas (acrylic glass) cut by laser. After the first prototype I made some refinements and "produced" three different version, the last and my favorite one with an integrated charging dock.

I am currently working on a small website to share some instruction with you. (The site is already online, but I need some time for a translation in english). What you do think about? Maybe little "overdone", not space-saving and not perfect, but overall a satisfying custom made solution for me.

This is what I've been looking for. It's almost the same as what Apple Store is using to display the straps and I just love it! Are you selling this already? Cause I would buy them right now.
 
This works great for $3, an M&M's tin can case.

So here is slightly off topic question. Does anyone know if there is the timeline for the individual bands? Like when they color and style was introduced and when it was discontinued. I noticed a lot of the ones I wanted (Scuba Blue and Royal Blue Nylon and Turquoise Sport) were extremely difficult to find.

Have a look in this thread.
Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.
 
any creative ways you store them? Are there any strap holders/boxes anyone can recommend? This is what I am doing right now, and I guess it works, but looking for a better solution..

Nice collection. I have 25 Plus bands and my most expensive one's (Two Link bracelets and leather) I have in a jewelry case. My other bands are stored in a drawer similar to yours.
 
That's a lot of bands! I only have 3 so with one on my wrist, have 2 to store. I just keep them on top of my dresser. I put the longer strap in the buckle so they stay together (except my metal one piece). You could do that too and hang them by the buckle.

Ended up getting the one from Amazon someone posted on here earlier in this thread. It's perfect. OEM Apple bands on one side, knockoffs on the other.

I have 20+ bands, each go into a snack sized ziplock bag then into a cardboard box.
I really need a bigger box
 
Anyone have any empty Apple Watch band boxes they don't want? I'm mainly looking for 42mm black, stone & red

This is along the lines of what I am looking for but don't need it quite so big. ETA ...so big, yet.

My collection of every 42mm Sport band Apple has made, including 6 new colors released for Fall 2017 (7, if you count the new/updated (PRODUCT)RED band). I only need to [re]acquire Midnight Blue, I still need Lavender, and I'd love to get Hermès Orange at some point. Avery label template for each band's drawer. (I also have some Woven Nylon bands and some Nike Sport bands in the rows under the original Sport bands.)

I like how you printed the watch bands on the labels.
