No more woven nylon bands

Which makes me a little sad - they're my favorite band.

Do you mean the Sport Loop bands? Because there is a new one on their website under seasonal colors! It’s called storm gray and it costs $49

There are actually five new colors of Sport Loop band!

OP probably means the woven nylon with a buckle.

Yep, woven nylon. They are no longer on the Apple Store at least for now. Even the “older bands” section.

In the photo (still on the web site), it’s the one on the right.

Oooops, I misinterpreted this! My bad! My guess is that the woven nylon bands Are for more spring and summer. So hopefully we’ll see some new ones in about six months!

Me too! I wear my black/gray nylon band quite frequently and would like one in a different color.

I'm glad I got mine when I did. I guess the sport loops were more popular.

They're all over Amazon. I have several with no issues in over a year of use.

I only buy official Apple bands myself. I've had a few third party bands from Amazon, and they were all disappointing to me (though maybe worth the low price.)

Can't argue that. I bought the first dark woven band from Apple. Not really sure it was worth $50. bought two more from Amazon. Just a good quality and no issues.

I was just surfing around Best Buy site, and they still have some of the woven bands available, so if anyone is interested, you might take a look!

I had one and returned it. I was not a fan, but I like the sport loop.

Yes, I still have one queued up on BestBuy.com but I haven’t purchased yet. My big issue is that I’m not sure if my next watch will be 44 or 40, so I’m not sure I want to invest in another band at this point. Still, I like the woven nylon best; I’d have liked to see them continued, so I could get one later on if something happens to my band, I buy another size, etc.

To update, I did end up buying a 40mm watch (so I'm glad that I didn't buy another 42/44mm woven nylon band.) I was just able to find an Apple blue woven nylon on adorama.com; I'm happy to have one for the smaller sized watch. And Adorama.com is a decent place to find bands; they have some discontinued bands (like this one).
