Best Buy has a 20% off sale going on Apple Watch bands right now. Doesn’t look like they have the new spring bands yet but all the fall colors are on sale. Includes Milanese Loop and some leather bands (including some discontinued Modern and Classic buckles). Also a few discontinued sport band/loops in there.

Amazon also having a 20% off sale. The spring 2020 bands are also excluded and many delivery dates aren’t until early May. So, you’re probably still better off going through Best Buy if you can.

Wow nectarine sport loop showing at 50% on US Amazon, but of course nary a 40mm at any price, just like eBay!

They are used or open box but still a great price. That discount has been available for the nectarine for months, they also had the indigo for the same price for a while until those went out of stock.

Sounds like you need to scoop a 44mm watch for scenarios like this.. it’s the only sensible choice, really ;)

Oh I have two but spicy orange serves my loop needs there! And those are my legacy watches...silver stainless doesn’t get a ton of love since gold came on the scene and just serves as a delivery vehicle for 44mm only leather stuff. And i can’t even look my s3 Nike in the eye with that bezel and those old watchfaces...it’s getting no use with quarantine keeping me from sports.

Love all these finds at this store, but that store is US-only it seems eh? Wonder why..

Hmm...i would guess its something to do with shipping. Everything seems to ship free (I’m sure they incentivize it for sellers) or for three bucks, to undercut eBay and Poshmark, which this feels like a knock-off of. Posh mark is $7 shipping on everything ffs

Thanks! Pretty nice selection of discounted bands. I actually picked up an open box Seashell loop for $26. Not a vibrant color, but wanted it for my collection.

Nice, can you post a picture? I’ve wanted to add a white loop to my collection as well. I’m never sure between Nike summit white or Apple seashell. I know the seashell is not as bright summit white. Pics would definitely be appreciated.

Hmm, might need to check Mercari out as it could be worth the cost of shipping via a forwarding service at those prices.

Also I saw a bunch of old syles of Hermes in the Canadian store that would have given my MasterCard exercise if I could get them to NZ. Sometimes it’s really frustrating being down here...

My one and only Sport Loop was Seashell. I say was as I sold it with the S4 it came with, so no pic opportunity. Wore it twice then put it away until I needed a band to sell with a Watch. Not a loop fan.

I have one, it’s actually pretty nice. I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do. Goes with a lot ?

Agreed. Lavender gray in the middle. One of my favorite colors that surprisingly goes with a ton. Killer price at 20.

For my fellow Canadians here:

TheSource.ca: Sport Bands and Loops

(too many to list, Apple & Nike, several rare discontinued ones, and most have minor discounts too!)

[edit: looks like the search results page might be bugging and not showing the discounts. individual product pages do reflect the discounts correctly, where applicable.)
