[Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Loop](https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/product/MQW72FE/A/42mm-black-sport-loop) is retailing for **S$78** in Singapore.

I bought mine from [Apple Omotesando](https://www.apple.com/jp/retail/omotesando/) in Tokyo, Japan, for JP¥5,800 (S$68), excluding tax.

I wanted to get it from Yodobashi as there is an additional 5% discount if you pay by VISA credit card. However, Yodobashi selection of Apple Watch straps is limited. I went to Yodobashi in Osaka, Kyoto, Kawasaki, Shinjuku, and Akihabara, and all of them do not carry the Black Sports Loop.

If you are using the Apple Watch for sports, I find that sport loops are better than [sport bands](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2015/07/03/apple-watch-42mm-black-sport-band/). They are softer, more comfortable and most importantly more secure.
