I can't see a classic buckle in that picture...
By that logic they are also no longer selling iMacs in this store.

Does the band bend? Does it blend?

I'm hoping Apple releases Watch v2 without bands. I would hate to have to buy a new watch yearly if hardware improves and buying the same band over and over again.

If my watch would ever ship I might care. The wait rolls along. At this point I should cancel, wait two years, and get version 2. :mad:
