Thanks. I think I bought OK but not awesome then. I paid NZ$510 for the Rallye, the orange Hermes sport and a used but good condition Blue Stripe woven nylon buckle the seller had in a separate auction that ended unsold, all in original packaging. That’s about US$324.

I’ll sell the orange sport band on eBay (or anyone who wants one DM me here I guess; I haven’t got enough posts to use marketplace yet), and if I looked to get $75 for it I’d nicely undercut Chargerstore and be right on $250 for the Rallye with a bonus nylon buckle.

Having had a bit of a look at images and the chart of all bands I’d like the Fauve or the Indigo / Rouge better, but it’ll be a nice alternative to my black leather loop.

I bought an Eperon d’or 38mm for my wife on eBay a couple of weeks ago for £155. I think I was lucky there as it looks genuine compared with my known genuine Indigo/Craie/Orange, but I doubted myself for a bit after committing until it arrived. After buying it I saw some discussion about good fakes, but everything about the hardware is identical to mine, even the amount of wiggle of the pin in the buckle (not much).
 
Guess I was very lucky to find a brand new Hermes Single Tour band in Noir for 200€!

I’ve been watching this teal tint sport band slowly lower in price every week on eBay, used but this guy seems to not put the s/m on and claims the m/l & pin only once, so let’s just pretend it’s new. I finally caved when it went from 70 to 65 today. I think I first saw it at 75 but I’m sure it was higher initially.

Do you folks think I should have held out or would it have been snapped up today at 65?

Can you afford the $5 difference?

If so, enjoy! :) It's a really cool band!

Higher prices for boxless “new” bands are just not getting my bids at the moment. Pacific green is one of the very very last colours I need for a full sport band collection and yet the two or three part options seem priced too high for what they are. ... I’m learning patience at a late stage!

I found Teal Tint as new old stock in a local Apple reseller a couple of months ago, so I got a sealed one for NZ$89 - which is the price here. I'm not sure about it though and call it my "toothpaste band".

I find it hard to match to clothing in a similar way to Royal Pulse, but I really like Royal Pulse. Teal Tint; not so much.

Yeah well see I fell down this whole rabbithole exactly because I got teal tint shoes to match! That’s been my way of keeping the addiction going. Just did pink blast, some volt flyknits are next. That’s cool that NZ gets some stock love for all the limitations you have.

Got you - I tend to try to pair my colours with business shirts or t-shirts. I'm not such a fan of the Nike holes for work though. I can do Teal Tint with a couple of shirts, but I think that Turquoise is actually better since I picked up a brand new but unboxed one of those from the UK on eBay for not a lot of money.

As a total aside I discovered today that Lavender Grey is a perfect match for a "problem" shirt I'd previously worn with SS link or black leather loop (which I consider "cop out bands" if I don't have anything in colour to match). That was another I wasn't really looking for but I found sealed in box for less than retail on eBay a few weeks ago.

I'd really love to have a proper Apple Store here in NZ, even if Wellington where I live would probably be third in line to get one. Watch bands are pretty patchy in terms of resellers that stock them.

Oh yes Lavender Gray is *the* chameleon band, I think it matches every watch, is both light and dark, gray and silver friendly. I even accidentally have two unopened in the same size when I rushed to a Macy’s sale not realizing it was 38/40 I needed to have a NIB backup and had already panic bought a 42/44 when the Apple Store gave it the mysterious “limited time” a few months into its run.

They must have stopped doing that right? I’m looking at the sport bands on Store.app and Beryl and Khaki should have that by now, if not the fall colors as well.

And I agree on the Nikes, other than Hyper Grape, they are strictly dog walk/workout/athletic contest drip. Most of them look very lightweight/unbalanced against a big silver stainless watch

you got a rose red through trading a lavender? wow, that's incredible- that's still one of my grail bands.

Yeah I did not think they would be down!

I was ready to pony up sweetening cash but the user had been eyeing purple generally and lavender gray specifically...lav does list for a lot on eBay but I honestly don’t think people pay all that much for it.

My wife got Rose Red when it was current. I never really wanted it until recently when I realised it's a prefect match for the red stripe in a shirt I bought. I really like the shirt, and I don't have another band that goes with it so I have to use a "cop out" black leather or link bracelet, but I'm not sure I'm keen enough to pay the premium it seems to get on eBay (especially since I picked up a Hermes Noir Rallye), but if I see one cheap enough I'll grab it.

I got my Lavender Grey cheap - I wasn't looking for it but found it along with a few other colours I wasn't especially looking for (Lavender and Turquoise) for less than new price in new condition a few weeks ago in a general search on eBay. I've surprised myself by wearing all three of them already, which isn't the case for some colours I have really gone looking for.

Everyone hunkered down?

Anyone running WatchOS 6.2 beta that shows new colors?

WatchOS 6.2/iOS 13.4 potentially released tomorrow - will we see new bands then or Thursday (first day of Spring)?

The PowerBeats 4 hitting Wal-Mart over the weekend really had me at full attention...I think announce tomorrow, ship Thursday, with some lucky early arrivals Wednesday (although I feel like that didn’t happen the last two seasons).

I think we are still missing a few Nike bands from the colors available on the Nike watch faces from a previous WatchOS update. I’m assuming they will be among the next batch of band releases. Hopefully this week.

I sold my Nike Watch in January, but I believe one was orange. Orange is one of my favourite colours (although Hermes orange pretty much kills all the other Sport Band oranges for me), so I'm hoping that appears.
