Chargerstore can’t currently ship to Canada using parcel post 😩 ☹️. Canada Post has temporarily suspended shipments. I can do expedited shipping but that gets expensive.

Maybe you can do something like @toxtrepla and have someone ship from China to US, to then ship from US to Canada?

quick question for you guys... is the Hibiscus Sport BAND super hard to find? i’ve been looking for one for a while, looking at the chart it looks like it was out for just one season and while the sport LOOP is easily found lately, the band is not.

I have a handful of reds, including pomegranate and dragon fruit but two colors keep calling me. Hibiscus and Red Raspberry

Red Raspberry seems more red and closer to colors I already have, but the Hibiscus Sport Band seems to be brighter and more pink, which has me really intrigued and makes me want it. maybe i’m not looking in the right spots and at the right time.
I’ve been looking for hibiscus in sport band too 🤔 Have loop, need band. Also want pomegranate. I have both dragon fruits thank goodness but want want more in that color range.

Hibiscus Sport band hardly ever appeared on eBay as you say. I was very very lucky to find one there. I think the recent deep pinks such as this and pomegranate are equally unlikely to be sold on, and I am still awaiting a dragonfruit opportunity.

Not A bad idea. I think US to Canada is roughly $12-$15 last I checked. If you ever needed help I’d be happy to assist. I would just suggest you make it worth it and Snag a few things in one shot if you ever went that route.

That’s a good idea. I will try to be good though.

Thanks. Very kind offer!
 
Pride Nike came today. Compared to Pure Platinum (left) and Flat Silver (right). Definitely way more light than either of the two!

I just scored a deal locally. 4 bands for $40. Now I need your expert help. My first question is, what color blue is it? It is the 2nd to bottom blue between the denim on the bottom and blue horizon. My guess compared to the chart is delft blue or maybe royal blue?

We still do have them in Germany, but prices (retail!) are weird - like 75 EUR instead of regular (that time) 59 EUR

HOW do you guys do make such deals... I am shocked
 
My next question is.... Two of the four bands I just scored, do not have the markings on the part that slides into the watch. They feel real, they have all the other markings.

Pardon if I'm wrong, but the markings on my band are just on the M/L only, saying "Assembled in China". Perhaps it differs between generations? Hope someone can elaborate better

Video about the leaked bands!
Meh, sort of over it now. Pretty sure they’re not coming to retail, but if they do, it’ll be as a kids band I’m 99% sure.

My guess is Ocean Blue. Here’s my comparison (Horizon, Ocean, Denim)

Also, the “Assembled in China” text is only on the M/L half on 42mm bands, and the S/M half on 38mm bands. They’re genuine.
 
Thank you Mike.

Duh, I should have known about the “Assembled in China” For some reason he only had s/m for 2 and m/l for the other 2. Thank you :) For $10 each, I can't complain (too much)

I guess I will go with Ocean Blue. It looks like yours

I was going to say that there’s an article about this on the front page... but the comment section there is craptacular.
Looks to be 80% “Yuck” and 20% “40mm pls”

Either way, I think the hype around the prototypes has definitely died down, especially after we’ve heard of a lot of the analysts’ opinions. Nothing backing them up to become full retail items, so my guess is a scrapped design that only made it to the prototyping stage.

Is that Nike genuine? Could just be lighting, but it looks too dark to be pure platinum or desert sand.
