I just ordered a Mint band from Walmart and a Fog band from newegg for my 38mm, both of which are colors discontinued by Apple. Thanks for finding these! Now I just need to find the elusive Royal Blue sport band.

Where are you finding their store page? I was trying to find this seller on ebay and can't find them.

Edit: Nevermind I found them on newegg. They don't have the 42mm Product Red. :(

Well I got my "pink" Apple Sports Band from Newegg for $25. However it doesn't look pink to me. I'd say it's more coral, salmon, apricot, or peach. I'm not sure if I'm keeping it. It's not making me feel all warm & fuzzy.

"pink" or not, i really like that color and it looks great. that said, i can certainly understand being disappointed if you were after a bright pink and didn't get what you expected.

I was initially disappointed with the shade of the blue nylon band I got from Walmart but it grew on to me. It didn't look great on my black aluminum watch but it looked great on my stainless.

I see that Walmart still has the 38mm Navy/Tahoe Blue woven nylon on sale. I'll be at an Apple Store next week, if it is still up will Apple price match that in store? It's on sale for $30.

I only ask because I know there's a limit to how much they can match if I remember correctly.

When I got my SBSS I got it on sale at Best Buy and wanted to go through Apple because I had gift cards but they couldn't match the price.

Yeah, someone needs to sit the Apple folks down and explain to them what is and isn't "pink". I always thought that their original pink was way more of a coral color, with an orange-ish cast to it. The light pink that they released last spring along with mint, lilac, etc., was MUCH more of what I personally would consider pink. :)
