Usually it takes 3 to 4 months for third-party bands to start making its way to the market. But eBay will be the first when you start seeing them arrive. I remember when the third party Sport bands first launched, it was almost three or four months before there were a large amount of them available.

Well that was quick and they sure don’t photograph well in my opinion...

Gotcha! Yeah, they look like an Apple ad. Now I might be able to justify more of them.

Lets see them side by side

I wonder if they are Velcro? The Apple Sport Loops uses a different kind of fastener...it's really neat up close.

 

[warburg]

Do these third-party bands just slip on, as Apple bands do, or do you need some kind of adapter?

Think it's because they're literally just using Apple's marketing images...

Will be interesting to see what the real thing looks like.

This is what I was waiting for. They have good reviews on their nylon bands too.

Welcome. I want the Flash color but does not seem to have yet.

I have a hard time justifying $50 for the official bands as much I would like to get one.

You're not alone. Always makes me wonder when people happily shell out for Apple's official accessories. I don't fully believe you have the 'you pay for quality' argument on your side, either.

I ordered a Seashell band from the eBay link that was posted. Once I get it in (may take over a month) I'll take some photos and upload them here.

I agree...but the sport loops is really nice...trust me.

Ordered a midnight blue. I already have the seashell, black sport look and Nike Crimson sport loop from Apple and love them. I'm hoping these are not complete junk...

Yes it's nice but not $50 nice. I returned mine and ordered the knockoff. I have their nylon version and you can't tell the difference. Mah!

 

[AlliFlowers]

Ordered the pink and from Amazon. Looks nice.

Dang, I just ordered volt and orange ones off AliExpress the other day cause that was the first place I saw them. At least they were on sale, like $9/band.
