A few days ago, Woot kicked off a massive sale on the Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop bands for Apple Watch, and not only are most of these deals still live, but Woot has added even more bands to the sale. All bands are in brand new condition and come with a one year Apple limited warranty.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Woot. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

You can get the Solo Loop for just $19.99 ($29 off) and the Braided Solo Loop for $29.99 ($69 off) in this sale. Additionally, if you purchase multiple bands and your order exceeds $39, you can use the code APPLEBANDS to get an extra 15 percent off your order. Woot has extended the sale into next week, but it'll probably end sooner when stock runs out, so make your purchases soon if you're interested.



Shoppers should note that this sale is focused on colors of the Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop that Apple has stopped selling, and it doesn't include any of the new band colors. That being said, all of the bands in this sale are in new condition.

The entire sale is focused on Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop Apple Watch bands, so you'll need to know the size that works best for you before you buy. Apple has a measurement tool on its website that you can use to determine your exact size.

Does anyone have experience with buying a used solo braided loop band? I’d like to replace mine as it has gotten stretched out over the past 1.5 years, as is common with this band. The price of these is great, but I wonder how much of its time is already used up. It could be a bit like buying a used battery. Anyone bought one before?

These are new.
 
Reminds me of Eric Cartman selling plastic jewelry.
- From $90 trillion dollars, to…. $19.85 (or whatever small number).

The article makes it sound like they are used items.
It says Apple doesn’t sell any of these anymore. But at no point does it say they’re used. The second sentence of the article says: “All bands are in brand new condition and come with a one year Apple limited warranty.” How do you get used out of that? XD

I bought four on this sale a few weeks ago, two braided and two regular. Not bad, though I still prefer the sport loops.

These are actual unopened Apple made bands. Completely new, never worn.

I should have gotten the bands when it was also 20% off on Black Friday. I just didn't know what second band to get

I don’t see any more bands added to the sale from what was previously available. Really wanted a black unity (love the look) but they don’t have my size.

I can't fathom paying these prices. I think Apple makes more profit on the bands than the watch itself.
 
Very good deals on the watch band, especially on the Solo loop ones. Too bad that these discounts are not available in my region. Would have been great if international shipping was available.

I tried order a few the other day, it was a nightmare. Amazon needs to get their companies the same page when ordering. Just gave up. One company I will be staying away from.

Was going to add (to carl76tr) they are new in box bands but see that others already have...
---------------------------

So after a lot of hassle finally got it to allow me to login via my amazon prime account.

Ordered 2 bands (rubber) but love to know what the "-1" is after a color.

$36 is best I've ever paid for 2 Apple bands. Which includes the extra 15% over $39.

For instance white/white-1 or red/red-1...

White was a "fall 2020" in (41/45mm choice) release as my Bandbreite app shows.
Stills fits 46mm perfectly.
But would like to know what that extra -1 is Woot is using and has on previous sales too.
It's used on just about all the color groups they are offering on Woot.

I have noticed the new series 10 watch being bigger makes my size 10 solo's a tad loose.
Was in-between sizes already closer to 10.
I switched to a 9 for these as I see that much difference on series 10 watches.

I wish I had known about this sale when it first launched because apparently a lot more of the colors were in stock

I did end up getting two of them (so that I could get the 15% bonus savings) and for whatever reason Amazon decided to ship them in separate packages via UPS Ground🤷‍♂️

Before I placed my order, I went over to the Apple Store MarketStreet (which is about 10 minutes from my house) and they were able to have my wrist fitted for the correct band size - the store wasn’t too crowded and they were able to help me out right when I got there without having to have an appointment or anything. Also got to try on 2 different solo loop bands that they had in the store to make sure that it fit (after they measured my wrist)

Anybody that’s considering getting this, I highly recommend going to the store to get your wrist fitted as it’s much easier than the online tool that Apple provides on their website
 
So, I bought two bands off this offer, and they just arrived. I contacted Apple to confirm that they had the 1 year warranty, and Apple said no, they can't confirm they have warranty, I'll have to contact Woot if I ever need warranty support. What's going on? Has anyone ever tried to get warranty support for bands they bought from Woot?
