When Apple released the Apple Watch Series 10 in September, it also revealed a sleek new stainless steel Gold Link Bracelet. While the Natural and Slate colors hit shelves immediately, the gold version was nowhere to be found — until now.
A stylish new stainless steel Gold Link Bracelet was also unveiled by Apple in September along with the Apple Watch Series 10. The gold variant was nowhere to be found until recently, but the Natural and Slate hues were on the shelf right away.
The Apple Watch’s gold Link Bracelet is now available for purchase on Apple’s online store following a two-month wait. You will have it in time for Christmas, though, as noted by renowned tech writer Mark Gurman on X, since the initial orders won’t ship for another three to five weeks.
It appears that the gold Link Bracelet is currently sold out worldwide, despite the website allowing you to check for pickup possibilities at local Apple Stores.
One of the first bands made specifically for the Apple Watch was the Link Bracelet. It is composed of more than 100 parts and is crafted from 316L stainless steel. According to Apple, cutting the links on a single bracelet takes about nine hours.
Apple updated the Link Bracelet with the release of the Series 10, introducing new hues to correspond with the newest finishes on the Apple Watch. It’s also important to note that the 46mm version of the watch is compatible with the bigger versions, such as the Ultra, while the 42mm version is compatible with the older, smaller variants.
You may choose from a wide variety of Apple Watch bands, which is fantastic since it allows you to express your personal style. However, in my opinion, the band that was promised at launch should have been delivered sooner rather than later.
Although it’s not that one less band would be a big concern, Apple has a recent trend of releasing things that sound fantastic but aren’t immediately used. Consider the iPhone 16’s Apple Intelligence feature. While it’s a nice selling point, not everyone has it yet, and not all of the elements of this personal intelligence system are accessible, which is kind of annoying.
