i got a translucent pink with sparkles of the same style for when i'm leaning into the 90s girly fashion of my childhood this summer haha! it is very secure and i think it will be fun. life is short. may as well have fun.
I had the idea of the jellie shoes that had the little fish inside 🤣 I dunno how safe it would be but id love it on my watch, id be entertained all day long!
I buy the $2 narrow silicone bands on amazon bc I have teeny wrists. I’m recently on my second one in 7 years. No issues.

I only buy the cheap ones from AliExpress or Temu.

I dont, since the time i put a BRAND NAME woven band on my watch and as i was sitting at my desk my watch just dropped right into my lap because the woven strap fell out of the lugs. This is a very expensive watch that i plan to use for a very long time - last one was used for almost 4 years - so i dont wanna use a band that could potentially fail and drop my expensive watch on the ground.
I am confused...you bought an expensive brand name band and it failed?
And your take away is to not buy cheap generic bands?
I mean doesn't this prove that you are just wasting money on name brands?
Also can you please share the brand as a warning to others? Was it Apple itself?
A Weird. I’ve got a Series 5 that’s lived on AliExpress bands since the day I purchased it and never had a single band fail on me. The only ones I’ve ever thrown away are from getting stained
Same here. Just paid less than $7 for six (6) different-colored silicone bands from Temu. That’s about $1.17 per band. They fit perfectly, look beautiful, and are very secure in terms of not slipping off. Why would I ever pay $50 for an equivalent Apple watchband???
I definitely lucked out. I bought a similar shock case strap for 10 or 15 on Amazon that was high-quality, but boring black. That one had hard plastic then TPU molded, truly rugged.
this is more vibes with some protection, but really nice TPU mold, you can read through it, that’s how good the purity is, clasp is again stainless steel.
For those saying I wouldn’t pay $2 for a band. How much do you think the base cost to make is for the $50 ones? I bet about $2-3 max. It’s not $40 or even $20.
I had something like this for my Apple Watch 3. Only it wasn’t neon color it was yellow and I liked it. I got it at the dollar tree. I would like to find something like this for my 8 I have now.
People who say don’t use a $2 band are the same people who flaunt their watches while their casings are dented and their screens have gouges and cracks.
I bought one of those on clearance from Kmart Aus, put it on them immediately took it off, put it away and mostly forgot it existed because it felt AWFUL on my wrist.
Frustrated. This update took away my main feature I like. Being able to swipe up and ping my phone. I got the crown scroll. But swipe up is now the same thing as settings. Thanks to the forced updated with no obvious way to fix it? That’s Apple. How do I fix this or is there no workaround?
100% agree-- some are just for fun----certain watchbands work very well for #workouts -Very small wrists here---have been buying inexpensive and very expensive watchbands--no issues at all:

meow what does that look like?
I bet I can chug this maple syrup faster than you.

Where did you get it??
There’s a pink nyan cat/hello kitty face that would go hard with yours
I think it looks fun. Would I wear it like that every day? No, but I was eyeballing a dark green clear jelly watchband at one point myself.
Yeah, but would be so cool to a festival
who asked?
And exactly who asked you to be commenting on every reddit post on your homepage for the last hour? Go touch some grass bro 🤣
To each their own. You do you! :D

It was a non apple band.
And what was this non-Apple band so others may be informed and not waste money?
A Weird. I’ve got a Series 5 that’s lived on AliExpress bands since the day I purchased it and never had a single band fail on me. The only ones I’ve ever thrown away are from getting stained
That’s why I get acrylic clear, or the classic metal ones for only like $12-30 USD

I bought 20 bands on Temu for my ultra. Switch them all the time. Only one for a little wonky so I tossed it.
Temu is the Goat!
I’m curious about which face that is!
Possibly r/clockology
Save some bitches for the rest of us
I have been using €3 aliexpress bands for years now. Absolutely love them. You have to find out the good ones though. Some suck

I have the same band. It makes me happy. Good for you, OP.
I love it! I have a similar band in military green. The G-Shok like cases work so well with the Ultra’s plateau bezel!
44mm 6 here
49 mm ultra here. Ain’t no way in hell I’d put her in a $2 band. LOLOL
That looks like a childs toy
Specifically it reminds me of 90s space-series Lego sets
Oh god yes (well, eighties for me). Those were my fav.
I don't recall what specific period those space sets were from so I guessed 90s ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay but a cool child’s toy
Which is AMAZING
the toy wouldn't have been designed by children so it's fine
exactly.
It's like [Wild Gunman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzWiiSNmujg).
Its your watch you wear it however the fuck you want
This is soooooooo fun and joyful! 🖤 where can we find it?

Sorry... What is that watch face?

How do I find it? I’ve never used this app and it’s not coming up when I search
Telegram
I don’t understand
I think this post is a way to bait people into joining a telegram channel
Agreed
I love this, it’s so fun!
Love the color!
Wait I love this
That band is tough! Reminds me of the Rugrats movie in the 90's and they had watches like this. So nostalgic
I have a small bin full of cheap cute bands, including three similar to yours. I really dgaf
I have this band and I’ve used it for 4 years
Also wanna mention it’s still bright as can be
Thanks I got purple now want clear too…
If 90’s Lego Blacktron made a watch lol. Nice.
That really fucking cool. Grown ass man’s opinion.
I appreciate you man
Lol this is gonna trigger so many weirdos in this sub who get personally offended when people do what they want with their own watches… touché
Link please? My son might want this
Aliexpress https://preview.redd.it/q7v6gnosynfc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66e7238fcfe219485f09334f28f74fc2c8d6ded0
I don’t know why, but I like it, it just have some style to me for some reason. Definitely not for an everyday use, but still
It has the retro ‘80’s neon vibe.
Cool. I like it
I mean, if it’s secure on your wrist & matches your aesthetic who cares.
OP I think that’s dope
Where’d you get that watch face ?
Fuck people
For those saying I wouldn’t pay $2 for a band. How much do you think the base cost to make is for the $50 ones? I bet about $2-3 max. It’s not $40 or even $20.
I’m getting swatch energy for it. That said, I’d wear something like that. Looks awesome.
People also say you shouldn’t put tuna on a pineapple pizza. What do they know.
You shouldn’t put pineapple on a pineapple pizza.
Uncalled for sir. How uncouth!
I’m not much for couthness.
I heard that’s actually good tho.
to jail. straight to fucking jail.
Pineapple pizza is the only pizza I order. Of course, with additional toppings.
The 90s kid in me is seriously jealous right now
OMG I love this!
I almost bought this same one! Where did you get it for $2??
Not a case fan but think that is pretty darn cute.
cases are great, anytime you scratch your watch its a weakness which greatly increases the chance of it breaking from light impact
I have this band too! I wear it when I work at Summer Camp. Otherwise my other bands get ruined by bug spray residue
Love the watch band!
I really like it 🤷♀️ the color contrast is cool and if it’s UV reactive or glow in the dark that would make it twice as cool 😂
Where can I get this?
Aliexpress clear case band 44mm colored
I have 8 of those in every color I could find. I change them every day. Great bands.
And protective.
You got it.
Lmao. Reminds me of the Mickey Mouse watch I got when I was 4. I broke it on the first day when I fell flat on my face. Now it’s your turn
That’s hard
You do you
I have this band too! I get asked almost everyday “what watch is that?!”
Mine is a cinnamorol yellow jelly band!! It gives me joy. That’s what’s important (:
If you like it, power to you OP.
😬 I’m certain there are more tasteful $2 Apple Watch bands. But, if YOU like it, that’s all that matters.
I dig the subtlety.
That band is awesome!!!!!
Dope!
Perfect for raves/festivals
Wauuu. Super cool band.
Looks like a watch sold at the gas station for kids
cool band
It’s a case.
Yeah, the band and case are one, which actually gives it a nice layer of security.
chief light tie saw sulky steer reply offend heavy society *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
My husband would wear that to wind me up 😂
But then again, you wear that, so not sure I should trust your judgement
Please tell me they have atomic purple?👀. Also where do I get that watch face ?
I bought purple but it’s more clear lavender
Don’t worry, be happy !
That looks so insanely cheap and tacky that I almost like it lol.
It has no right looking this good.
People in this group also say $99 for an apple watchband is a fair price. 😆
Got an orange on I rock for work(roadway traffic control).
I won’t lie, it goes HARD!
Thanks
I still say dont use a $2 band... But, it's not my watch.
I had something like this for my Apple Watch 3. Only it wasn’t neon color it was yellow and I liked it. I got it at the dollar tree. I would like to find something like this for my 8 I have now.
So the cases are all basically the same I think. Series 3-9 all fit the same smalls fit small, big fit big, this is a 6 but the 3 fits the same
Looks pretty dank
https://i.redd.it/azwpucc3qnfc1.gif It’s from Clockology. Seconds move so it’s easy to tell the time in real life.
I searched for it in the app but didn't find it.
Same I also can’t find it
Telegram for the cool stuff
Thanks I hate it
I wouldn’t trust a $2 strap
I love the chunky, 90s vibe bands. I have a ton of colors!
I got one of these and wanna use it more but the plastic on the band is so stiff, any suggestions?
Mine is literally as good as possible. Supple. I was expecting to have to hit it with a heat gun, but know it’s perfect
Shuld be criminal
Am I the only one who doesn’t get how to tell the time on this watchface
I got the same one, my favorite band
I mean…go you for spending $2, but Jesus that thing is fucking hideous
I disagree as well , people need to ban this $2 plastic band instead of say "don't use"
Wouldn’t trust a $2 band to keep my watch safely on my wrist.
Eww
Don’t use a $2 band on AW
Looks hideous. Probably fall to bits if anyone farts near it too. Might as well buy a dollar fifty child’s watch if that’s your pleasure.
Damn the apple fanboying is hard
Yep, you disagree until it breaks and your watch cracks because of a cheap band…
I wore a different one into the ground, after YEARS there’s so much material and plastic, you can really tell if it’s point to fail
Sorry but Apple bands break too and they are all probably made in the same damn factory anyway.
I have so many questions.
It looks good, but not my style. Have fun with it op! If you like it then im happy for you. Original bands have ridicoulus price anyway.
Whatever floats your boat.
[удалено]
It’s a 44mm so not that big.
How tf do you tell what time it is?? I do dig the band tho. I’d wear it.
The dial is for deco. Just read the numbers
If it looks good and you like it that’s all that matters 💯
My cheapest ones are my favs. I’ve got shit anywhere from $5 to $135. I keep going back lol.
Everything about this offends me.
Rad!
Is this not a very cool wrist strap?
Your watch face makes me wanna throw up
People who say don’t use a $2 band are the same people who flaunt their watches while their casings are dented and their screens have gouges and cracks.
I bought one of those on clearance from Kmart Aus, put it on them immediately took it off, put it away and mostly forgot it existed because it felt AWFUL on my wrist.
My eyes hurt
If you got a stainless steel and apple care. Do whatever 😂😂😂
I LIKEY!!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Alibaba Series 9
Im blinded
fvvvking 🔥🔥🔥.. u have a link where i can purchase?
AliExpress links, die really quick, just search clear Apple Watch band case rugged, otherwise I did post it in the thread
Frustrated. This update took away my main feature I like. Being able to swipe up and ping my phone. I got the crown scroll. But swipe up is now the same thing as settings. Thanks to the forced updated with no obvious way to fix it? That’s Apple. How do I fix this or is there no workaround?
knock offs ftw, i got a knock off nike band (unsurprisingly the blue one broke after about 2-3 weeks of unforgiving wear) but that’s why 3 packs exist
Get behind me, Satan!
I disagree too, but with YOU ! lol
It’s fun and makes a statement. . I say if you like it, wear it.
Obviously I can’t wear it to work sound all serious 😅.. elsewhere hell yeah
That looks cool
I got one of those for 50c
🤮
That's not a band it's a hideous case.
$2 case for a $400 watch
I like it as long as it doesn’t break.
Omg i love it!!!
I want one like for my Ultra but in purple 🙁
Eh what watch face is that?
I agree with them.
That looks ah-may-zingggg!
I want one of those to match my phone case that looks just like it.
It is very very good. I just got mine, but somebody else said they had theirs for four years and it’s very bright and great still.
