Interesting the sport loop appears to be on an older Apple Watch with the red cellular ring. I though that was removed for the Series 10.

Spring is such a... challenging time for color choices. All the world is a bag of easter M&Ms. o_O
 
So the Lake Green band goes to Sage and all I can see different is the name? Looks exactly the same...

If you think that looks exactly the same, I'll need to make a note to discount your comments relating to attention to detail or aesthetic elements 😛

Granted, they are similar.

But look at the contrasting edges of the loop, and the shoot-green threads that make up part of the weave. Plus, the overall colour has a different saturation and tone. Plus the plastic connector is a deeper shade, which has an impact on overall impression.

You’re right. It took them probably years of research & development to come up with this.

Can we please have size -1, -2 and -3? I love the braided solo loop, but my wrists are too tiny ☹️
 
- Boss: Dammit, AI still not ready! Send in some shinies, quick! What do we have in store?
- Staff: Emojis! Everybody loves emojis, they're so cute, good for the brand etc. We keep breeding some just in case
- Boss: Ok, emojis go! (next day): Well, that's not enough! Anything left in the bottom drawer?
- Staff: Aw, we're out of inno! Unless... New Springtime Colors for iPhone16 Silicon Case? like: blue, pink, green...
- Boss: (sigh)...

I'm amazed people buy first party Apple cases and bands

It's all such an incredible rip off
Silicon case is $50 ($44 if you can get a discount through your company) and the copies on Amazon will cost you, what, $10-15 bucks...and won't hold up as well. $35 bucks more for the Apple product and warranty.

I always love the orange cases that Apple releases in the Spring. Too bad they just don't last long enough to justify the price for me, versus a $8 case from Amazon or eBay.
