Happened to the black band I have, but none of the others I have ever had (I have had at least 20 Apple sports bands). Was especially common when the watch was first released for the black bands to have this issue. No other colors have had this happen on a widespread basis as far as i know.

No, my black band that came with the watch is in perfect condition, after wearing it 12 hours a day, every day, for 10 months.

Are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Blue bands like the product Red and have different model numbers?

Huge thanks to @k9muttlover for helping me out with getting the Barely Rose/Pearl Pink Nike band! Just received it today. :)

Another band also arrived in the mail, so happy I can now add the Close The Rings one to the collection!
I really like these bands. Even though they're kind of basic color-wise, I wear mind every Monday if I closed all of my rings every day the previous week. Congrats on the additions!

I love the woven nylon bands

I have a pearl I got as a Best Buy clearance item last year, but the cream lugs clash with the space grey sport 38mm s1 I got... I used to have a silver s0 38mm before this one.

so I sharpied the outer part of the lugs yesterday, haha. and it looks half decent (...but not great)

still, the pearl band itself has kinda stained jaundice-y from extended use so...

got a Black woven nylon and Navy blue woven nylon on the way from eBay that are genuine :D

Those should go great. Probably will take pics when they arrive

these are so comfy

also got a knockoff sport loop neon yellow/green coming which should be cool (was only $10)

Got one of those black/white nike sport band before they totally sold out... never thought this would be such an interesting combination.

Hey is the black/white sport band sold out? I still see both combinations available for 42mm. Am i missing something here?

I have 38mm and I live in Europe... Here a lot of them spring bands are already selling out... So if you live in the US, I highly recommend you to grab the bands you like when they're available.

These are the spring colors that are already sold out here:
Sport Loop: All 4 colors of spring
Nike Sport Loop: Midnight Fog, Cargo Khaki
Sport Band: All 3 colors of spring
Nike Sport Band: Black/White 38mm, Cargo Khaki/Black, Barely Rose/Pearl Pink
Woven Nylon: Pink Stripe 38mm, Blue Stripe 38mm, Gray Stripe 42mm

Since they're marked as "Sold Out" here, I suppose they would sell out in other markets sooner or later, and eventually all these colors would disappear in autumn. (Just my opinion from past experience, still regret that I missed out the Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue, which is nowhere to be found now)

I gotta go buy a new Artbin storage case for my bands (inspired by PeterJH3 - thanks for the awesome tip) - I can't stop collecting when I find some rare ones or some I don't have.

Just got these today for 38mm and 42mm:

I have an extra 38mm and 42mm of the Classic Buckle in Sea Blue leather if anyone is interested in buying one - 50$ + shipping. PM for details (live in Denmark and can ship).

You collect 42 and 38 mm bands? Do you have Apple Watches in both sizes?
