Woot has brought back a massive sale on the Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop bands for Apple Watch, which we last tracked before the Christmas holiday. 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. Woot says the sale will run through January 17, 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.

I grabbed a replacement for my Dark Cherry braided loop (my current one is really loose now) and also snagged an Abyss Blue one to replace my third-party one.

How long did it take for it to wear out to that point? Really liked how the size 7 at the apple store fit my wrist but worried I should order a 6. Issue is I didn't like how tight the 6 looked.
 
Going to order a braided one as $29.99 seems maybe reasonable or what the original price should be for a piece of silicon. Crazy that the original price is $99 👀
 
Watch out, when you add it to your cart on Amazon they automatically create a Woot account for you and suck all kinds of data about you from Amazon. You don't have to even place an order, just adding it to your cart and going to checkout causes it to happen. Not cool!

lol, why on earth don't they ship to Hawaii or Alaska, it's a watch band that weighs nothing
 
Is there a simple conversion from the Sport band to the Braided Solo Loop? I don't want to print out that measuring tool... lol

They are the same company, Amazon has owned Woot since 2010.

I think it all depends on how they fit, how often you take them off and on, what activities you do with it on, and how many different bands you wear.

In my experience where I exercise 5 days a week, charge it daily, shower with it, etc... if I only wore one band it might make it a year without wearing out. I ordered one of them when they first came out and liked it so much I ordered a second. However, my expectation was that they would last at LEAST the two years like the Nike ones with the velcro do before the velcro wears out. To my dismay my first one started getting lose about 6 months in and at a year was so loose that I couldn't wear it anymore. The second one ended up getting a bit loose but I just stopped wearing it much so I could wear it occasionally. At $100 a band there was no way I was going to get anymore. At $30 a band, I picked up several and will just use them less frequently and rotate and hopefully get many years out of them

Fantastic prices on some of the straps. Too bad such prices are not available in my region and shipping to my region is also not possible.

I was thinking of ordering a braided one of the midnight color, but then I balked at the $30 price tag. I guess I'm cheap! LOL. I don't know...I feel like for a relatively old product (even though these are brand new), $30 is still kind of a high price. I'll buy it for $15. =)

It sure be nice if some of these prices were the "normal prices"

It blows me away that we have MSRP of $100 on watch bands

It's just nuts
 
Bought several for myself and some for friends/family. I needed to replace a lot of the ones I had from before the Ultra/Ultra 2, since the larger watch makes my old ones just a hair too loose. Also got some colors that I didn't have before. So glad they restocked, since I was only able to get a few of the ones I wanted in the size I needed last round. Felt like a steal compared to when I bought the ones I have when they were new.

They're grossly overpriced. Apple has a bigger profit margin on these than on the watch itself.

The leather Modern Buckle cost $150. When they switched to the greenwashed FineWoven plastic Modern Buckle, they kept the price at $150. So they're selling something that costs around $5 to make for $150 lol

They are really massively overpriced, and I'm not enough of a fashion queen to spend $30 on a wristband, even though it is massively discounted. Or let me put it this way, I already have 2 bands for my Ultra so I have already overspent on my "fashion" budget. Nevertheless, I will say the solo braided loops look REALLY, REALLY nice.
 
Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one and since I’m an Amazon Prime member, no shipping cost. It came a couple days ago and it’s the most comfortable band I’ve ever owned. I would always fidget with the silicone band that came with the watch. The braided loop fits so well and feels great - I actually forget I’m wearing it.
