Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

I honestly thing Bright Crimson has the potential to rival Flash for brightest band.

Okay... probably not. But it's up there! Glows like Capri, too.

Love Apple taking a distinctly orangey red from among the all-time lead brand colors of Nike and saying “why don’t we make it more a pure red tho”

A look at the alleged leaked leather cases for iPhone 15 Pro / leather links for S9.

Looks like from previous years, Midnight, Dark Cherry, Forest Green, Taupe and Baltic Blue are set to return to the leather lineup.

A bit sad that Umber (aka Saddle Brown spin-off) appears to have been axed.

A taupe link, especially for Titanium S7s…💦

Rather fortuitous timing to follow up with this post. Here is a composite of every unique silicone/fluoroelastomer color band Apple has released so far.

Unique like, they dont look like another color?

Mike recently disabused me of the notion that Gray/Black and Soft White/Vanilla (ceramic pin bands) are unique colors. I’ve never seen a mint Gray/Black and that confused things.

I also didn’t bother with the picayune differences between white/black solo loops and sport bands etc

 

[athousandbands]

Looks like chalk pink and cantaloupe in there to me…and these are “new” colors? 🧐

Pink Chalk yes, but I think that yellow/orange is going to be much more full than Cantaloupe based on the other images Majin has produced.

I agree this photo looks more orange/pink than his others.

Hard to imagine Apple rebooting cantaloupe as it’s pretty recent and has already been a solo loop and sport band.

What do you do when you buy a Sport Loop from a reseller that was called New in Open Box, but was clearly worn, with discoloration? I don't think I could prove it in pictures. But, ewww...

this happened to me!!!! I will never buy again unless it is SEALED in box.

I would leave a negative review for the seller!

Usually not an issue because anything beyond saving is visible in the listing. If it’s used at all, though, I ask for a partial refund.

The seller had more than one of the same item. I think he used the same picture for all. I think it's deceptive. I didn't give it a thought at the time, because it was supposed to be "New." I think I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it so it's in the washer right now after a long soak in Tide & warm water. If I can't stand to wear it, I might try to sell it (as Used, of course). I need to craft the review I need to leave. I'll see if there is an option to request a partial refund, which would seem fair.

I'm sorry for posting in this thread yesterday; I probably should have posted in the Discounts thread.

I just returned from TJMaxx where I scored a Lavender Gray/Light Lilac Sport Loop for $17. I passed on Mexico Sport Loop ($13) and Nike Pride Sport Loop ($17) because I couldn't picture any situations for myself for either. The Lavender/Lilac is my 5th New condition OEM band. #4 is a Clover Sport Band, for watching Eagles games (and when wearing green.) 😀

eBay sellers have the option to, but there's nowhere to specifically request a partial. You need to ask the seller for one in messages.

I passed on Mexico Sport Loop ($13)

40mm or 44mm? If 44mm, I'll gladly give ya a few bucks profit to send it over. Nobody's seen a 40mm Mexico at TJ or Marshall's yet.

 

[nnc]

Mexico was 40mm. Are you saying there's a market for these? Funny thing last week: I yoinked the Canada 40mm for $13 as you know. There is a seller on Mercari asking $93 for the same thing - including TJMaxx security sticker. 🙄

Oops, I tried to edit (to fix awkward structure) and it came up as a new post with a quote.

The spread of resale website pricing on the International Collection SpLoos is hilarious

The Pink Pomelo/Tan band cleaned up really well and I'll keep it. There is a slight side-to-side curvature from use, and it has stretched about the width of the plastic end piece (compared to the Lavender Gray/Light Lilac.) Both look good on my Starlight watch. So I officially have six OEM bands including the Starlight Sport Band that came with the watch. I can't afford to become a Collector though!

The Gradient face on the Lavender Gray/Light Lilac is also called Lavender Gray/Light Lilac. I did not find Pink Pomelo/Tan for the Gradient, but the Neon Pink/Coastal Gray is a really good match in actuality.

Mike let me borrow Dark Aubergine for a few days. Definitely not winning “most likely to be recognized as purple” in the Purple High School yearbook but nice nonetheless

Where do you guys buy bands after they’re not available? I want an Hermes double tour noir 45mm. It was available until a few days ago in Canada and I missed it. Still available in Dubai and I’ll try buying it over the phone (will be there later in the year), but I’d prefer if I could get in North America.

If it was available up until just a few days ago, I’d find an Hermes boutique in person. They’ll probably have one.
