Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[mikedis]

Does anyone know where to find an Apple Solo Loop Silicone 45mm band in Cyprus Green size 5. It is my favorite band and mine is starting to show wear. Think I am out of luck. Thanks!

Chat or call Apple Support. Tell them yours is broken and you'd like to set up a DIY repair to order a replacement. If they try to transfer you to sales, don't let them, because sales can't help you.

Have your Watch's serial number handy. They'll need that to start the process, and they'll ask what iPhone and iOS version you have, but what you tell them here doesn't really matter in case you want to make something up for some reason. Then they'll ask for photos. You can just say you don't have it with you, or it's broken but doesnt show that in photos, whatever you want to do. Or you can take a photo. either way it's the same. They'll check their parts system and hopefully they'll have your size. If they do, It's retail price plus shipping, usually $10? Been a while since I needed to replace a band so I forget. This is how you buy out of season bands from Apple, subject to the availability of colors in their parts system which changes depending on what Zip/Postal code you give them.

Bonus tip: If your watch has AppleCare, they'll sometimes give you the band for free!

Nice work around! (If you don’t cheat sometimes , you are only hurting yourself!) 😉

Flash (2017)
Spicy Orange (2017)

I found Flash for a really good price on eBay in near-new condition. Bought it somewhat randomly but am really happy with it. Such a punchy yellow colour.

Here’s my dilemma for the day/week/month. (I have an Ultra btw.) Found what looks to be a very good condition Series 6 Hermes set - watch, charger, Orange single tour band, orange sports band, all boxed - on a local marketplace site. $700 AUD - for non-Australians, the Orange single tour goes for $500 new, this set would’ve been approx $1800 when purchased two years ago (and current series 8 equivalent is). I have no interest in the watch itself - don’t need a second one, wife doesn’t want one. I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile buying, keeping both the bands, and trying to resell the watch itself for enough to make it worthwhile.

Thoughts?

what is the brightest/most fluorescent orange sport band that I can get? how about blue?

Capri is definitely the brightest blue.

I’d say Vitamin C for orange and Capri for blue.

Bright Orange just announced as part of the spring lineup

So, no new Sport Loops or Nike bands or non-Hermès leather bands. And no new Ultra bands. That‘s a weird and underwhelming „spring collection“.

I agree. I thought they would definitely release some new Ultra bands, since the Ultra is a new product.

Total bummer.

OTOH, the new Solo colours are pretty nice. So we didn‘t get nothing.

The Sprout Green solo loop looks cool. I’ll have to see how Bright Orange compares to Electric Orange

 

[mikedis]

bright green and bright orange make me want the rest of the bright rainbow

 

[Cotypubby]

My newest acquisition, Dark Aubergine classic buckle. I was afraid from pictures online it might be too dark but the light really brings out the deep purple tones!

It seem to be a more pure (yellow-ish) orange vs. the red-ish orange of Electric.

The new Sky seems to blend right in, no?

I’d like to see a side by side with this band and the “ink link”.

This is true…. rubber lovers can rejoice! Lol. Not often you see new leather or metal bands in the spring… usually sport bands and loops.
That being said…. I found it odd there were no new sport loops. I didn’t really expect new Alpine or Trail loops but thought we may see a new ocean band colour. Then again the new phone colour is yellow and we already have the yellow ocean.
Not even sure why I’m disappointed?…. I should be happy…. this non-move by Apple likely just saved me hundreds of dollars.

I would have bought the green and yellow Solo immediately as SB or Nike SB. But not as this cheap-looking Solo-thing. I don't understand Apple why they aren't able to release the same colors easily, at least, on the SB/Solo simultaneously.

Canary Yellow is actually a re-release of a discontinued Sport Band color.

Mmhhh … rubber. 🤤

Me, too. Maybe they‘re on their way out? But they seem too popular for that, don‘t they?

I fully expected all three Ultra type bands to get new colours! This is actually the biggest disappointment for me personally wrt this season.

Yeah, the #1 sign you love a company/product is when you‘re angry you don‘t get to spend more money on them/it. 😂

Well, there was a Canary Yellow SB released in 2019 already, and Apple (almost) never re-releases old bands.

P.S. Have you ever tried a Solo in the perfect size on your own wrist? It may look cheap (to some), but the comfort is just next-level.

Orange and yellow, some of my favorites..

I'm guessing it's more of Softgoods' budget being slashed.

This is true, but they've been doing it more often with the solo loops. I guess you don't mess with perfection?
