Apple Watch Bands Begin Selling Out Ahead of Probable Spring 2019 Refresh

Fall 2018 bands now listed as sold out:
Apple likes to brighten up its Apple Watch bands in the spring, although not quite as much as its vibrant summer bands.

why would anyone buy a watch band from apple? Third parties make way cooler bands that work just as well and are a fraction of the cost
Cause the 3rd party ones are complete and total junk

The 3rd party ones are good, but Apple's are on another level for quality. Whether Apple's are worth ten times the cost is subjective.

For those of you playing along at home, please mark off “watch bands.”

Except perhaps for the sport loop, third-party bands (knockoff bands, at least) don't seem to measure up. For example, Apple's sports bands are made from fluoroelastomer while every knockoff I've seen is made from silicone, a material inferior for this purpose. The same is true for Apple's leather offerings, which are very high quality compared to the knockoffs I've seen. And of course, there is nothing like a genuine Hermes band.

I own a dozen bands, all Apple bands.
Third party watch bands are made like crap and look cheap. But to some people they’re good enough.

It is good that the keyboard has been fixed or this kind of news would make me mad.
Going to go out on a limb and suggest the watch band department is probably not responsible for engineering Mac hardware. I could be wrong though.

It's the big innovation of the decade. Cough.
While I note your sarcasm, obviously having replaceable watch bands was an innovative idea, otherwise they wouldn’t be so popular. Earth shattering? No. Innovative? Certainly.[ Read All Comments ]
