It seems a few people thought I was in the UK wanting a watch band sent to the states. I am in the states and need a forum member who is in the UK and has an Amazon account, to get a watch band for me, as the sellers on Amazon don't post to the states. I will gladly pay right away. Any help would be appreciated. 42mm Nike pure platinum white
They still have it here in several stores. Normal price, so €59.
[doublepost=1518899384][/doublepost]
It has been discontinued. It is very hard to find anywhere. I know a place you can get one although it is out of the country.
They have one in stock in an online store here in my country. Normal price €59
[doublepost=1518900823][/doublepost]
I want the Nike black sport loop.

Anyone have the dark olive band in stock?
Which one of these? The darker one? They are both presented as Olive couloured

Noticed one thing, what isn't included is the NikeLab version of the Nike Band. This was released by Nike on April 27th 2017. It comes with a Light Bone/Black band with a special NikeLab Innovation x Innovators logo stamped on the inside of the pin.

Maybe the OP can add it to both the charts?

This has always been on the chart...

Aah, I think I missed that, sorry. Although I do feel it would be better if the Light Bone/Black one is specifically designated in some way on the chart that it was a limited NikeLab version with a special embossed pin....

The same would then have to be noted for the Hermès embossed pin. Not sure it’s enough to warrant as most everyone knows these were limited editions or come with specific Watches. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m in the U.K. This thread and the contributors on it are fantastic! Of course complete boxed versions are my preference, but rare colours with at least both the smaller strap and pin side have been bought too. Boxed; I have the black ( space grey pin), white, red ( product red original), blue (launch ‘darker’ version), apricot, green and orange. Without boxes I have also found used versions of yellow, pink sand with rose gold pin, turquoise, pink, and mint.
I have a query regarding my blue band. It is in a box with inserts just like the others but without the colour picture on the front. There is a little “38mm” printed label on the front corner and a narrow part number label ( not full serial with barcode) on the back. Were early bands ever supplied like this, say before retail separate bands were properly out? I can be certain the band is OEM and also the box design, broken tab seal and inner cardboard parts are all identical to the others. Cheers!

Concerning your Blue Band packaging this is probably a copy meant for shops as a demo. For instance for instore display. I’ve seen these more often in several colours. Often the label also says ‘for demonstration’ or something like that.

Cloud does not have a model number alone as that band was never sold separately.

One thing that is probably so obvious that I hardly thought about it is that the colour choices when editing a watch face, are more or less all the properly named sport band colours from the beginning. I presume the updated watchOS adds a few more to the list, each time new ones come out.

That is a good observation that a lot of watch wearing people don't even see. Bring on the new colors. :)

What a collection! I’d personally stop after all the sports bands....., ( although I treasure the steel options too). Glad you appreciate both types of black, blue, and (product) red! I’m sure you’ve noticed the HomePod comes in two colours...just an observation ;-)

Hello, long time stalker here and decided to bite the bullet and join:oops:

I haven’t been collecting the OEM bands for long, 3/4 months I would say and have got myself a nice little collection so far :D
Love looking at everyone’s collections so here is mine:)
[doublepost=1519907808][/doublepost]
Just scored a Cloud with the white ceramic pin!! Only available with the white ceramic watch. Listed as mint condition.

I have cloud, that glossy white pin is just beautiful isn’t it :)

Looking good, a growing and colourful collection! I’m impressed that cloud bands are ever found separately from the ceramic watch. I think just that ceramic pin would tempt me towards finding a ceramic watch. Good luck with a green and violet to complete a rainbow spectrum too!

I was surprised when I saw it too and snapped it up, if money allowed I would have a white ceramic but RG will have to do for now :) keeping my eye open for ultra violet as I think that along with turquoise I would like to add. I have quite an extensive third party silicone collection, so what you don’t see here is in their multiple times :D

Easy. Just buy SO MANY bands that no one band gets worn enough to show wear and tear.

Water on a microfiber cloth is usually plenty for sport bands.

View attachment 752145 View attachment 752144 Hi I’ve been collecting original Apple Watch bands ( now exclusively the sport band) all for38mm. I’m in the U.K. This thread and the contributors on it are fantastic! Of course complete boxed versions are my preference, but rare colours with at least both the smaller strap and pin side have been bought too. Boxed; I have the black ( space grey pin), white, red ( product red original), blue (launch ‘darker’ version), apricot, green and orange. Without boxes I have also found used versions of yellow, pink sand with rose gold pin, turquoise, pink, and mint.
I have a query regarding my blue band. It is in a box with inserts just like the others but without the colour picture on the front. There is a little “38mm” printed label on the front corner and a narrow part number label ( not full serial with barcode) on the back. Were early bands ever supplied like this, say before retail separate bands were properly out? I can be certain the band is OEM and also the box design, broken tab seal and inner cardboard parts are all identical to the others. Cheers!
- My band pictured here turns out to be ‘azure’ after careful colour matching! I only knew it was some type of blue when buying it... quite close to the ‘lilac’ to my eyes but now confirmed azure!
