I can’t wait to see your one! I am always too gutless to buy cheap bands as I assume my watch will fall off somewhere obscure. I need your bravery to inspire me!
I’ll definitely post pictures when it turns up, probably by next pride month
I believe that’s the classic Apple fragrance that I’m convinced Apple perfume all their boxes with at this point. They all seem to have a really significant scent that’s consistent across products that doesn’t exist when opening any other boxes from other companies.
Band looks just as lovely outside of the renderings too!
The more real world pictures of it I see, the nicer it looks.
Mine says estimated delivery of 24/5 > 27/5 but it’s still in a warehouse in Dongguan City.
I suppose it’ll take them a while to dispatch these as it’s new and probably lots of people want them. I’m not betting on my 10 day delivery being accurate
Another thing of note about Apple devices, my AirPod Pros still smell like they came out of the box, months later
The smell on the band has 99% gone now. I asked my husband to confirm in case I had just got used to it
I’m glad I ordered my pride band from two sellers. One has been sitting “packed for picking up” for a week now whilst the other is going around in circles in China, but at least it’s moving
No idea what is happening with mine. I used the link and bought a medium and a large and will see what happens (not pride but blue and a grey/ black hybrid)
I don’t either. But each subsequent update is exciting… satisfies the “something is happening” endorphins, which I have more of than I should……
Presumably China has a lot more regional transportation hubs even within same provinces, since it’s such a large country ? Especially with the kind of volume they must handle to make margins that low work
I have so many like this, but now apparently it’s in the UK.
“The shipment is being forwarded, please wait patiently”
That was yesterday at 14:14, so hopefully it should be here this week.
Mine still hasn’t left China… so much for 10 day delivery
I’ll be going near the Apple store on Friday, so I’m hoping that they arrive tomorrow so if it’s a terrible copy, I can buy a proper one.
On the back of this thread, I ordered 3 different Apple Watch straps from AliExpress on 22nd May. All 3 arrived yesterday in one package from a depot near Heathrow (although they obviously went around China separately). One was the knock-off pride strap. The lot cost me £4.75 (for all 3!). They’re not at all terrible. In fact the woven ones are nicely soft and stretchy. My bargain of 2021.
Wow, that’s some speedy delivery! It looks great, too. Which seller did you order from? In case mine get lost (no update for a few days now)

They quoted 75 - 90 days, so was gobsmacked when they rocked up yesterday.
Thanks! PS how did you get the weather and other bits and bobs to show up as complications on the Pride watch face? I only have useless options like Breathe, Shazam and Stocks
It seems I have some issue with my watch as the complications disappeared from every new face I try to create
That happened to me once and I needed to unpair/re-pair to fix it.
