Is that a watch band or a belt???
I figured Watch Band updates could be launched, quietly or to fanfare, at the Chicago event next week. They are not live on Apple's website yet -- at least, for me in Eastern Time just after 9am...
The sport loop and woven nylon bands are amazing. The spring updates look great. But If Apple priced them $20 cheaper they’d sell A LOT more of them.
