Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

Welcome, and congrats! Share a photo of your collection - the storage system, too!

Thanks!!! As I said I’ve around 65 now, I bought on amazon some clear pages that fits into any binder... for now is working just fine: (I’ll try to take pictures of the entire collection during the week)

As far as bands that I’m hunting right now are the Cargo Khaki Sport and the Sunset Leather Loop 🙃 (I’ve in transit the cornflower leather loop, green sport 1st gen, Nike Black/White from chargerstore and Teal Tint/Tropical Twist)

Welcome, and if you read it all then congratulations to you - that must have taken ages.

I’m not sure if I am happy to have helped you grow your collection or sorry to have helped pass on my addiction to you, but my collection grew fairly quickly from around 24 to 74 bands after I found this forum.

Lastly your English is fine - don’t feel you can’t post because of it.

thank you very much! I just shared a picture of how I storage the bands... haha and yes it took several weeks to catch up all of the comments here but was really cool to se all of the pictures and that’s how I get to decided wish Band I wanted

Film strip sleeves? Very creative! Eagerly awaiting a pic of the full set!

PS Jealous of your (inbound) green sb!

Are you looking for Cargo Khaki SB in 38mm or 42mm? They’re still in stock on Nike’s UK site in 38mm.

They have a few other rare-ish bands still in stock at RRP: Midnight Fog 38mm, Cargo Khaki Loop 38mm, Teal Tint Loop 44mm, Pearl Pink Loop 44mm.

Hi, I'm new. I received my Nike Pride Band 3 days ago and I noticed a "strangeness". The shorter part of the band clicked right in, but the S/M part of the band (the one I use) just wouldn't click, it would continue to slide off the watch.

To add to the chorus, yes, return it. One additional angle: if you do it now, there should be no problem, but this may very well be a limited edition, so if you wait a while to call it in, they may eventually run out. (There have been a few Nike bands that ran out surprisingly fast.)

It would seem Apple's manufacturers ran into... maybe a bad batch of the connector parts, or a misadjustment on a few of the machines that make them, perhaps related to being shut down for covid, and then starting everything back up after a while. There have been scattered reports, but it's not every band, so the likelihood is that a replacement will be better.

P.S. Cool watch wallpaper.

I work crazy hours at the hospital and it sucks even having to wait for UPS to come get the defective band and then again for it to bring the new one. Ugh.

I'm wondering if your hospital has a shipping/receiving department where you could leave the outgoing box, if UPS regularly stops by anyway? Possibly saves a little time/effort.

Not Apple Watch band related but certainly Apple Watch related. I just scored 2 of these Apple Magnetic Chargers which currently retail at $79.99 at Apple for $20 each! So $40 for two vs $160 plus tax! I absolutely love it. Wanted to share the great news!

Nice score! From somewhere that has more, by any chance? I've always thought that was kinda cool, but wasn't worth $80 to me. For $20, I might jump on it.

 

[JoshCalvetti]

yeah you can find the old version of the dock on eBay or other resellers for very cheaply now- it's pretty nice. They did a silent revision shortly after the s4 came out that adjusted the concavity of the charging puck. But the old ones still work just fine and it's nice to be able to save some $$!

No this was local. It’s this app called Nextdoor which is actually more about what’s happening locally in your community but there is a for sale section and I just happened to run into it. I wasn’t even looking for it. The guy was asking for $39 each and I brought him down to $20 each. He mentioned that he didn’t have them for too long and they were in perfect shape with box included. After buying them I thought the same exact thing you just said. I would never spend $80 on these but for $20 I would for sure! Lol

Do you happen to live near an Apple store that got broken into? 🤔

Nothing on local news of Apple Stores being broken into in Orlando. Plus the guy seemed way too kind to do anything like this. Also on Nextdoor you have to put the neighborhood you live in. The area I live in, I hate to say it but there are a lot of privileged people and his neighborhood was definitely one of the even more privileged ones. I’m sure to him losing the amount of money he did on buying it new and reselling it for so low didn’t even bother him. I caught this deal by pure chance for sure! Lol

Hi, I'm new. I received my Nike Pride Band 3 days ago and I noticed a "strangeness". The shorter part of the band clicked right in, but the S/M part of the band (the one I use) just wouldn't click, it would continue to slide off the watch. I had to manually "center" the band to the watch and then I noticed that it wouldn't slide anymore (even if I don't clearly hear the "click" as for the upper half). I have to do this thing every time I put the band on, it's kind of annoying but at least I can use it eventually. Unfortunately I noticed that the M/L half of the band clicks perfectly in (but can't use it, too long for my tiny wrist) so it's just the S/M part that is clearly defective.

I was thinking about calling Apple to report the problem and ask for a replacement, but then I read that many people online had the same issue, so the replacement band could have the same problem or worse (someone can't get to click the band in at all, not even manually like I do).
So I'm kind of thinking to keep it the way it is. I hope it's safe for the watch though. It really sucks, for a 50 euros band I expected nothing but perfection. What do you think? Should I call Apple? Would Apple send me a new one if I do?

Thanks

Quoting myself for a little update: I was about to call Apple and report the problem, but I had the idea to try the Pride Band one last time just to be sure to describe the problem as accurately as possible: and SURPRISE! after 3 days of struggles, it clicked right in on the first try. I've been trying every 20 minutes just to be sure: it seems to click in correctly now. I don't know how or what I did, I swear it seemed defective until 4 or 5 hours ago. Maybe it just needed a couple of days to adjust? I don't know. Anyway I'm waiting until tomorrow, tomorrow morning I'll try again and if it clicks correctly in again then the problem is solved, I think (fingers crossed).
Thank you for your tips you guys!

I just checked all three pieces of both my pride bands and luckily they all work fine.

42mm but I do appreciate the heads up! I bought on Nike Spain the midnight fog and the blue orbit/gamma blue recently..

I meant all my bands, but yeah, I have a 42mm Cargo Khaki band. Not looking to sell, though.

So to get back to summer 2020 bands...maybe we’re back to the thought the Pride bands being early ensured late WWDC-tied seasonal collection, with June 22 being too deep into pride month.

Is my only chance to find discontinued bands on eBay? I like the teal/tropical twist Nike sport band.

Thx!

You can search other sites as well: Mercari, Offerup, Appleband Market (reddit).

Bestbuy is also having a sale on some bands.

eBay is great if you sort by new listings. I search across many apps, eBay, OfferUp, Marcari, Poshmark, Depop, Vinted, and a few others I wouldn't remember off the top of my head.

But, yeah, I'd say 90% of my bands are from eBay. Those that aren't are a healthy mix from the other sites.

Chargerstore is a seller on eBay with many of the discontinued colors. Most of us have bought from him with nothing but positive feedback. Some colors can get expensive though.

• ChargerStore on eBay (that seller specifically - many here have had very good luck with them),
• random searching on eBay (caveat emptor),
• the /r/AppleBandMarket subreddit,
• the buy&sell forums here on MacRumors (need to have sufficient posting history to gain entry),
• miscellaneous stores that have old stock (better if they're small and out of the way, or not online, as the major online ones all got cleared out by people searching before you, but when one season's bands gets discontinued right before the new ones come out, folks often find Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc., selling them at a discount to clear inventory of the "old" bands so people will buy the "new improved" ones 😂), and,
• all sorts of other person-to-person selling sites, like, people have had luck on craigslist and nextdoor (lately people in the discounts thread here have been all hot on Mercari - I have no direct experience with that one - oh, check that discounts thread, it often has pointed to recently discontinued bands).
