My watch face is permanently foggy as well. The best sport/training band are the sport bands in my opinion, especially the Nike ones. In time they'll deteroriate potentially, but that's what happens when we beat them up.
 
My local Apple store in MN has some pride bands in stock. I can do pickups if someone needs. They had 42mm yesterday and I can confirm availability tomorrow. PM me
 
Am... guys?

What's the difference between MQ3Q2AM/A and MJ4M2AM/A white sport bands? Why do they have different part numbers?..
Are they both California versions or is one like Ireland? I’ve seen a lot of the made in Ireland ones, but don’t know about the numbers

They both are american versions, and country code influences only two letters before “/“, if the part before it differs too - that means that models have significant difference...

Not totally true. Apple has changed model numbers for bands previously without any significant change in the band itself. But that still leaves the question: IF there is a difference, what is it?

Lemonade Sport Band. Got it as it slowly approaches the end of its cycle.

It sure looks a lot nicer in real life I have to say.

Exactly. Somewhere along the way, Apple changed the model number of the Midnight Blue band but it is identical in color and size. MQ3T2AM/A & MLL02ZM/A. The statement of changing it and changing it back to original is ridiculous...
 
Question for the experts. Is there a difference in the sport bands with pins that on the box say Stainless Steel, vs the ones that say 316L Stainless Steel?
 
I'm still looking for a royal blue box 38mm ..but am curious can you get the lavender in a box? I need 3 boxes to complete my set. Having trouble finding royal blue, rose red and lavender... was hoping lavender wouldn't cost as much as the other two.

Here is Rose Red but it is from Hong Kong

Maybe the same one but in USD

I'm trying to find the chart that is a long panorama of the sport bands, that shows dropping down, by season the little photos that have the pin colors indicated. I printed it some time ago and am going through my bands.. the chart says the Gray band came only with the Space Gray pin.. but I have a box that says stainless steel pin (no band to go with that box, wish I did!)
