I have the orange, and it's cool, but too flashy for me. I'm exchanging it out for the green...but that being said, I'll probably use neither as I prefer metal bands.

With that being said, near perfect replicas are sub $20 on Amazon, if budgeting is a concern. $100 for a band is absolutely a money grab for Apple.

Have you seen any photos of the replicas and genuine side by side, to confirm they are near perfect? (I’m always suspicious that the fakes use Apples own marketing images and never show photos of the actual band they’re selling)

I had the orange Alpine band that came work my Ultra, I like the style and colour.
Today I decided to get the green Alpine band for when I want a change of style or to be less bold.
I’ll use both bands depending on what the day has in store.😀

Ultimately I decided on the Apple over 3rd party copies for two reasons…
1. Many of the copies don’t give a size, and I know the L is a good size for me.
2. Some copies had a plastic connector/lug which I was dubious about in terms of durability.

I think orange is more fun, and green will be easier to match/style on a daily basis. Picking based on which of those two qualities is more important to you might help. I personally love my green!

Hi, what size (M or L) did you get to get the buckle there? what size wrist do you have? that position of the buckle is ideal for not scratching the macbook
