Just got an ultra 2 and love it. Want to diversify loop bands, any idea if they might be discounted for BF or do they ever go on sale? $100 for a loop is expensive. Thanks

Just buy the knockoffs off Amazon. Just a good and a fraction of the price.

I'd have to push back against just as good. The original is definitely better. Is it 30 dollars better? Meh, not sure about that though.

I understand your logic here, but my experience has been that lots of the bands are worse, lots are similar quality and some are cheaper and better quality. So it can be a gamble but researching and reading reviews can most definitely get you high quality bands on Amazon for less than apple charges. And that’s not even considering the band styles that apple doesn’t even offer.

I’ve been buying Amazon bands for years and have only had one break. Apple’s bands are overpriced for what they are.

Try AliExpress for loops. I've got a couple of straps and the Milanese loops as well, which I think go for the most amount of money. Very very cheap and good

I’ve bought about 20 from Ali express. They’re all great. If Apple is an A, Ali express is like B or so
