I gotta say.. i am running into a luck streak on eBay. Picked this sucker up for $12 shipped (last second bid).. I was scared it would be fake.

Nice find! Funny I'm currently matching my Classic Buckle Soft Pink with the Apple leather case too

I’d really love to get an electric blue classic buckle, but I’m just not sure if I could deal with the steel lugs on a ceramic watch. The most first world of all problems, I know.

But a legitimate one, IMO. I have a couple of Classic Buckles with my Space Black Stainless Steel Series 4 and I swapped the silver lugs for black ones because I wanted them to match my watch case.

I've considered doing that on occasion, but I'm somewhere between worried about hacking up a just-purchased $150 watchband, and appalled that that is the only path Apple leaves for the Space Black / Space Gray watch owners.

They made a big deal of the fashion aspect from the very start, trying to say how classy the watch could be, and they designed the lugs to blend into the case of the watch, and then... they offer a lengthy series of buckled leather bands that are only fit for use in the silver colored watches (and really only match the stainless steel watch). They never said, "oh, by the way, if you get a black watch, we're gonna treat you as a second class citizen, you won't have ready access to most of the leather bands". I have the original black leather loop (the silver trim around the point the band loops through is aggravating, but not especially noticeable, and there's no jarring color clash of where the band attaches to the watch), but they could have sold me half a dozen leather bands over the past four years, if they had deigned to step up to the plate and support their black/gray watches with leather bands with properly colored hardware. It's like they hype it as classy and fashionable and then turn a blind eye to this obvious blunder, because it'd require them to stock more some more SKUs.

Dragon Fruit and Canary sport bands are still available near me... if anyone needs.

Where are you?

Anyone here near boulder...I need a pickup at that store and to ship it... Wonder how hard it would be to have someone pickup a band and then ship to me. I'd pay the shipping of course....

UPDATE: I've since acquired this band.

Seems like I am getting old... but I need a magnifying glass to find differences between Pollen and Canary Yellow sport bands... They looks SO similar...

Yea - someone posted a picture I think a few pages back of them. I have Pollen so I elected not to get Canary... hope I don't regret that.

Rare find. I hope @Jason Hensley won't be angry that I posted photo of his band :)

HOW DARE YOU!

Lol, no its not a problem at all! I made a list of all the sport loops when I started to collect them, and I would have been dead wrong in thinking that the Hot Pink would be one of the easiest to find. It's now my final sport loop! Bonus score, I also finally found my final Nike sport band I needed to finish that collection as well.
 
If anyone is able to help me...

I'm looking for:

40mm Papaya sport band -acquired
40mm Dragon fruit sport loop - acquired

UPDATE: i've since acquired both of these, thank you

Here’s Dragon Fruit

Apple Watch Sport Loop (40mm) - Dragon Fruit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SN6RK3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WOslDbCG82JWV
i think the issue here is that amazon puts these to ship months from now("ships in 1 to 2 months") and they dont ever actually ship. amazon doesn't actually have these in stock and likely won't get them in. so your oder just sits there forever, you're not charged, but you also dont really ever get the product. Thank you though...

use this as a resource to get bands. sometimes very rare ones pop up like when i got Hibiscus Sport band for $35 new

https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleBandMarket/

Thanks, yeah I have my eye on that sub. A Hyper Grape sold on there few days ago and I got to it just a little late. I tend to find the folks in this forum are far more knowledgeable and look after each other hunting down bands.

Just found a sealed 42mm Antique White and ordered it right away - please let me know if you would like to get it :)
