Who else has an Apple Watch Band Obsession?

[nikkisharif]

I use to have a slight obsession, but that has died down a lot. Although I plan on purchasing a leather loop, I’m pretty content with the bands I have.

*Disclaimer*...the above sentiment can change at any moment It has been a long time since I’ve purchased a new watch band.

I would like to have a nice quality black leather band for “dressier” occasions. Any suggestions?

This is the one that I have.

I don’t have an obsession but I absolutely love my Nike+ Sport loop band with the reflective material. Do they sell this band separately? I remember Apple saying these bands were only available with watch purchase. I found one on the Apple Store app but it’s for XL size only. Any thoughts?

You can definitely buy sport loops in general, not sure about the Nike version with the reflective bits though. Actually, yes, just looked and you can. https://www.apple.com/shop/watch/bands/nike-sport-loop#mn_p

Just bought like 15 cheap bands from Amazon and the Nike+ Sport band.

Since upgrading from the Series 1 to the Series 5 Watch, I feel like it's finally a fashion accessory I can get down with.

I would love to have an Apple Watch Band ‘obsession’, however my 24cm wrists (I’m big boned) means that its difficult to get anything to fit, and certainly nothing from Apple itself!

I too am "big boned" (working on that hence my upgraded Watch) and I've found some good bands that are breathable nylon that fit really, really well. Let me know if you want deets!

What does everyone think of the new design of the leather loop band? I’m not sure how I feel about it...

Yeah, I agree! And I agree with someone who posted in the comment section of the article that it looks puffy like a Northface jacket! :laughing:

If it is waterproof, comes in 40 mm, and holds together well, I may go for one. I don't mind the way it looks at all. (I am not a fan of the current leather loop.)

Well the purchase of my new Series 5 has given me the Apple Watch band itch again. So I decided to try out the genuine Apple Watch Sport Loop in three different colors (pink sand, black, and seashell) and I bought them on eBay from a reputable seller at a good discount. Omg why have I waited so long to purchase this type of watch band...I'm in love! I've been a genuine Apple Watch Sport Band owner since my Series 2 and have a multitude of colors but the sport loop is now my new fav. Now I'm off to buy more colors (hibiscus, nectarine, indigo, dragon fruit, marine green, and camel sport)...yes I'm obsessed!!

 

[Annie_M]

I want one of each! I’m off to eBay for an Apple Watch Band expedition!

I’m just seeing this & I hate it....why would they mess up a good thing

 

[Chris Cook5]

I like the Sports loop. One thing it’s hard for me to get the leather one on

 

[edswife1970]

They look too “thick.” I like the colors though. If they still only come in 44mm, it doesn’t matter....I need 40mm.

 

[mumfoau]

Definitely don’t. lol I put the black sport loop on my series 4 and haven’t changed it since!

 

[ksassy]

Well I made another run on eBay and picked up 5 brand new genuine Apple Watch Nike Sport Loop Band (black/pure platinum, summit white, celestial teal, smokey mauve, and spruce fog) and 2 brand new Apple Watch Sport Loop Band (indigo, and cerulean) all at a great discount. Yes I'm officially nuts over the sport loop band and I need to stay off of eBay for awhile!!
