Woot this week has a massive sale on Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop bands for Apple Watch, with as much as 70 percent off these accessories.

You can get the Solo Loop for just $14.99 ($34 off) and the Braided Solo Loop for $29.99 ($69 off). All bands in this sale are in brand new condition and come with a one-year Apple limited warranty, and they will all be compatible with the new Apple Watch Series 11.



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.

I bought a braided loop from them back when this deal first appeared and I have to say I'm quite happy with it. It has stretched out slightly but I initially sized it a bit small so it's good.

Unfortunately, as mentioned multiple times above, their remaining stock of sizes is very limited. This is just the same batch of bands that they're trying to unload, with the selection getting smaller and smaller over time. If they ever get any new stock I'd pick up a few more, and like a sucker I go and double-check every time this deal gets posted. :rolleyes:
 
I really want a braided solo loop, but Woot never has my size in a color I want :p And I'm not spending $100 on one through Apple.
 
I think Apple can do very good business directly selling these bands themselves if they priced them fairly rather than the current over the top pricing model. If the average watch sells for ~$400 then charging $100 for a band made out of recycled polyester is insane.

They no longer have my size for braided. I've bought 3 of these at $30 and they all become unusable after 3 months.
They shrink back down if soaked with very hot water. I recommend searching for directions on how to wash them when they’ve gotten loose.
 
It doesn't bother me that this keeps popping up on MacRumors repeatedly, but it is probably worth pointing out that unless your wrists are tiny or huge, they're not going to have your size outside maybe a small handful of garish colors.

I'd love a braided solo loop, but not enough to pay anywhere near full price for it. However, my current color choices for a midrange male size (7) are "pistachio". Period. If you're a 5 I think there's one single color available for smaller watches, and 6 nothing, period.

The more staid color blocks have nothing in common sizes; blacks and whites have only the microscopic size 2 and very large 10 or above, blues nothing between 4 and 10, purples nothing between 2 and 8. Only reds and greens have a smattering in the midrange, and even those only a few.
