GREAT NOW I WANT THIS ONE TOO
Order both. If you don’t like one, return it. Avoids backorders.

any ideas if the nike pride will hit the stores?
missed out on early shipping and it’s now into mid june
It’s out in stores now, but good luck finding an open store near you.

No idea...
Looks second gen. My first gen doesn’t look as smooth, and has darker connectors I think.

the stores in canada reopened today but i don’t see it available for pickup yet. pride bands are usually sold in store as well right?
 
On an unrelated note, anyone have Hibiscus, Papaya, and/or Canary in 42mm they’d like to sell?
I just bought papaya off of your new favorite eBay seller. His list price was more than I wanted but I made an offer and he surprisingly accepted. I think he just wants me to keep on buying bands from him because that’s the second lowball offer he’s accepted. His trick is working...

How do you guys manage watch faces? I was adding watch faces in all the colors of my bands for all the faces I like and I got an error message that I reached the max number of faces and can’t add any more.

You guys get more than 3 watch faces?

I was excited when you said this and then learned that stores in Ontario and Quebec are still closed. Happy for the other provinces though.

Out of curiosity, for those of you who bought the pride band(s), how many of you would identify as LGBTQIA versus as an ally? I don’t have an issue with allies wearing pride bands, though if I saw someone wearing one I would assume they’re queer. I’m assuming people who are homophobic/transphobic/biphobic et al. aren’t buying pride bands.

As an aside this is the first time in several years I won’t be marching in NYC Pride and it feels really sad despite knowing it’s necessary. Hopefully the pride bands can serve as a bit of a reminder.View attachment 916870

I don't know. I'm fluid. I'm definitely not just straight. I'm actively involved with male and female partners, though I've never fully accepted the label of bi because I'm not 50-50 and I'm so straight-passing despite having a very unconventional lifestyle.

I've definitely always been a very strong ally. And one of my partners right now is a trans woman.

I'm personally not wearing it to support Pride specifically. I'm an ally but don't consider it something I would advertise. I just don't care either way. Live your lives and be happy everyone!

I just like cool looking bands when it comes down to it and like Rainbows. lol
 
How does everyone clean their "preowned" bands that did not come sealed in a box when they get them? I soak them in a bowl of alcohol for about 5 minutes and then I wash them with soap and water. I figure that should kill any bacteria from the previous owner.

New faces installed! Ultra violet might be my favourite band right now.
I love it! But do you guys not like having watch faces to match all of your bands? How do you manage watch faces given the 36 max watch face limit?
