Apple is selling individual Sport Bands for $49, while the Classic Buckle, Milanese Loop and Leather Loop retail for $149 each. The Modern Buckle is costlier at $249 and the Link Bracelet is the most expensive Apple Watch strap available at $449. The prices listed are based on the United States and will vary in international countries based on local currencies and exchange rates.

Apple Watch bands can also be ordered online through the Apple Online Store.

I can't see a classic buckle in that picture...
By that logic they are also no longer selling iMacs in this store.

I hope they come out with a "Product RED" sport band.

Does the band bend? Does it blend?

I'm hoping Apple releases Watch v2 without bands. I would hate to have to buy a new watch yearly if hardware improves and buying the same band over and over again.

If my watch would ever ship I might care. The wait rolls along. At this point I should cancel, wait two years, and get version 2. :mad:
