From perusing this thread, I am convinced Apple only sells the watch as a means to make HUGE profits selling the bands. They get $49 for a sports band which can't cost them $3 to manufacture. I bet it is like a fountain soda , the cup, lid, and straw costs more than the drink in the cup. For Apple, the packaging probably costs more than the band itself. But alas, we all buy those pretty colors. lol
Right, lol. I have purchased some third party sports bands on Amazon and they are a bang for your buck. Comfortable, colorful and doesn’t break the bank. Also, you can’t even tell if it’s the Apple one or a fake.
My storage drawers are sold on Amazon or you can buy them directly from the manufacture at https://sorbusbeauty.com/collections/stackable-drawers
(before anyone asks, yes, these are all genuine Apple OEM bands)

Hi! Have you sold these by now?
This seems like the only ready-made solution that can hold 30-40 bands. But they don't make with gray interior anymore, and it simply doesn't look as good with black. Plus it seems like the new version doesn't have the lock anymore.
Please let me know yours is still available.
Doesn’t matter if he has them, because the mods have gotten extremely strict about buying/selling outside of the marketplace since that post was made.
My modest band collection outgrew the jewelry drawer in my dresser so I sprang for a case from Zero Mass, purchased through Amazon. It's a bit bulky -- not sure I'd travel with it -- but it's great for home storage.
Does anyone have experience with or has anyone come across with the "Bandkeeper" solution? Seems to be available since 2018, but never heard of. Thanks!

I have a couple questions about band storage. I have a pretty good sized collection and purchased this storage box (stock photo from Amazon):
I’m curious how others label their bands so the colors don’t get mixed up. I was thinking of using my label maker and putting a label behind each band but not sure how they’d stick.
I’m also looking for input on the best way to store the bands themselves. For example, store as two separate pieces vs connected (and which way to connect them). I see many people having the band pieces connected by the pin but I’m worried about that causing a bump in the bands.
Any input is appreciated!

Just grabbed one of these. Pretty good reviews and seems to hold 36 bands.
This one is nice. It's cheap but looks elegant, also you can buy it from your near ikea store. I'll definitely buy this. Thanks for the recommendation

Wanted to use something similar to the Apple Store's band holders.
Mine came in.

I ended up with this ikea kallax drawer and I use the packaging cardboard to make the place of the bands. I also added motion sensor lamp so when the drawers opened it lights up.
before you ask if these are original bands, nope they’re not. I can’t afford that much 🥲, I buy them from AliExpress and I just satisfied with them

I took your design and widened it a bit because I have some sport loops. also these legos are decades old so some fit better than others... red and white 4x2 bricks were especially loose for whatever reason. fun little project and I may hold off on buying anything for now because functionally it's pretty much perfect for me. if I stack them on every layer like yours I could fit twice as many

I wish you could mount one over another somehow. 6 (or 12 by adding 2 per slot) is not enough for me 🤪
