Woot this week is back with a massive sale on Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop bands for Apple Watch, and some of the deals are even better than they were in past sales.

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 $14.99 ($34 off) and the Braided Solo Loop for $29.99 ($69 off). In regards to the Solo Loop, this price beats the previous discount at Woot by $5. All bands in this sale are in brand new condition and come with a one-year Apple limited warranty.



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.

Thanks. Was very happy with my prior two Solo Loop purchases from them, so just now ordered two colors I like that they didn't have in my size last time.

It’s too hard to take advantage of this when each band has a different size if paired with a different size Watch.

For example, I think it’s something like the bands released in size 8 in 2024 are actually a size 7 in 2025 because of the change from 45 to 46mm, and in 2022 when the casing size was 44mm a size 8 is actually equivalent to a 46mm size 6. Or something. Perhaps I have it reversed but yeah. And the sizing matters especially for these because a loose solo/braided loop is so annoying.

Idk. It’s too confusing.

I’ve confirmed it at the Apple Store but it’s too much to keep track of for me so I just avoid these sales.

They aren’t just “all the same.” And if you think so I have a perfectly fine bridge for sale you might be interested in.

@MrMacintoshIII I did see the effect of case size going from a Series 4 to the Ultra, so I went to the Apple Store and tried them on with my Ultra and confirmed that I needed one size smaller in the SL. My weight and hydration level are very consistent so I've been lucky to use the same size since I got the Ultra, or else I would be switching to a Sport and not stocking up on Solo Loops, hehe.
 
I don’t know why Apple keeps making these. They clearly don’t sell. It’s such a waste of materials and energy to manufacture them.
$100 for the braided loop is ridiculous, especially for something that stretches out over time. But at these prices I don’t mind and have already got extras in different colors for when they inevitably do get too loose.

Looks like it’s just the remaining stock from previous sales, since the sizes I wanted are still out of stock. And the price is the same at $30 for braided solo loops.

I was hoping the Braided would go down in price too...even just $5 would be nice.
I do like the Braided ones I got the last time (though some are about 1/8 inch longer than others in the same size)
I am tempted to get another Solo Loop
 
There are 4 (PRODUCT)RED Braided solo loops listed--(PRODUCT)RED, 1, 2, 3. Does anyone know how these compare? Which is a more true red? Thanks for your input!

Yeah that's my issue a well. The braided loop sizing is inconsistent between years but also the same models. By the time I'd gotten around to finding my size, they were sold out.

The solo loop traps sweat and irritates my skin. Those should have holes like the Nike bands for ventilation.

Based on this sale, maybe they're dumping them.
When new I really like the comfort and feel, but they stretch over time. Not a lot, but enough to make the watch feel loose.
