Yes, you can finally order the highly elusive Link Bracelet for the Apple Watch in gold to match your Apple Watch Series 10 in a stunning gold titanium case. But first, here’s a backstory of one of the fanciest Apple Watch bands ever made by Apple.
The Link Bracelet is one of the original Apple Watch bands when the very first Apple Watch debuted in September 2014 and launched in April 2015, which was over ten years ago. This particular band is made out of stainless steel, and it features a symmetric design with a butterfly closure. Its sophisticated design allows the links to be easily added or removed without any additional tools, allowing for a better fit. Hence, this marvel in design makes this band one of the most expensive bands from Apple, starting at $349. It initially came in silver ($349) and space black ($399) to match the stainless steel cases. Note the space black one used diamond-like coating (DLC) for the finish. There’s even a Link Bracelet Kit at $49 with additional links for bigger wrists. Even when the gold option for the stainless steel cases was introduced in the Apple Watch Series 4, the Link Bracelet remained untouched until recently.
When Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 10, Apple replaced stainless steel with titanium as the more premium option. Since the titanium cases came in newer finishes – natural, slate, and a new shade of gold, this gave Apple the opportunity to refresh the Link Bracelet for the first time to color-match the new titanium finishes. Each of the new Link Bracelet options starts at the same $349 with the corresponding kits priced at $49 since they all use physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating. The natural and slate Link Bracelets were available to order on Day 1; however, the gold one wasn’t available to order until a few days ago.
So the Gold Link Bracelet (along with the Kit) is now available for customers in time for the holiday season in both42mm and 46mm options. The 42mm will still work with the previous smaller Watch models while the 46mm will still work with the previous larger Watch models. You may want to act fast because if you order today, expect delivery times to slip as early as December 12 – 19. The Apple Watch Series 10 is definitely worth buying as it offers several new improvements that are worth waiting for.
