My 3 new checked nylon bands have arrived: black, olive and berry. Trés chic.

This is my original Series 0 Space Grey Apple Watch:

The actual colour of the watch face is 'Olive' but in the photo, it comes across as white! Watch band is the original 'Black' Nylon band.

Both still going strong!!

Have Apple changed their design then (as you can see by your pics above and my black nylon band, the patterns are completely different)?

Absolutely! The original designs (like yours) aren‘t available anymore, replaced by the checked designs like the ones I posted and a few striped ones.

Lesson: if you really like an original Apple watch band, get it while you can. I learned this the hard way before and had to hunt for several bands on ebay.

Cool, been waiting for a comparison of these two. To be honest I barely see a difference in the 2.

The difference between white and soft white is a little clearer in this picture, I guess.

It’s a shame that the Midnight Blue colour is more purple than blue - that’s the one thing stopping me from ordering one. 🙁

Picked up the new Midnight Blue Sport Loop yesterday and I’m in love. It’s so comfy and light! Might end up getting a few more of the other colors.

....is the outer solid colour (the colour of the edging) black, or navy?

42mm Space Gray with Pink Sand Sport Loop. I picked up the Pink Sand Sport Loop Friday afternoon. I wanted to see more of the Sport Loops in person before I bought any more of them. I really liked how the Pink Sand looked, so I picked it up. Figured I'd post some photos as its a color combo that I hadn't really seen too many photos of.

....does anyone have the 42mm Black Stripe Woven Nylon band and can provide a pic?

Apple's own pic on their website is this but I want to see a real life pic!!!

I have a ruby leather classic buckle leather strap for my Series 3 gray Edition AW, and I just ordered a red sports band. I notice that both of these straps are marked "Product." What does that mean?
 
Thanks, but I still don't quite get it. Apparently "Red" is the name of an organization that fights AIDS, but what does "Product" mean?

It's just the branding - the red bands and cases sold by apple are called Product Red, as some of the profits go to (RED).

I might be wrong, but I think I remember reading that Steve Jobs wouldn't allow the Apple logo to be used in parenthesis - you'll notice other brands who donate to (RED) do, so Apple instead settled on using (PRODUCT) RED.

Jobs at first told Bono that Apple would never use the parentheses; "nothing interferes with the logo," Jobs reportedly said of Apple's own iconic mark. But a night's sleep combined with an impassioned email plea from Bono proved enough to change Jobs' mind. With one exception. Jobs told the singer that Red's parentheses would never be seen on the interior decor of an Apple Store. "And to this day, you will never see the parentheses in an Apple Store," Bono said.
