I thought I would share this deal on Groupon for the Milanese Loop Bands that I took advantage of. I was fully aware they are not Apple Milanese Loop Bands as I have a OEM band. I should’ve clarified that when I created the post.

There are some nice colours, but they don’t look like OEM bands to me - I don’t remember Apple doing a purple one so their quoted full price seems rather misleading, especially as they are £99 from Apple now. I’ve ordered what looks like the same purple band from Aliexpress costing approx $3.50 - I can’t post photos as it hasn’t arrived yet.
 
I know they’re not OEM I just figured to share this for anyone who are looking for these kind of bands but don’t want to pay the price Apple charge.
 
Never ever buy a non-OEM band with magnetic enclosure. Most of the time the magnets used on those after market bands are weak af and increase your chances of dropping and damaging your watch ...
That happened to me and I spent $350 on this lesson.
