They removed the solo loop midnight color, lucky me that I purchased it months ago…at least they kept the color for the braided one (for now).
 
Bright orange for my Midnight will be cool for the summer. Should be good contrast.

Yes!! I was coming here to post that at $99 I am out. Suckered once... mine lasted barely 6 months before it was too loose. And I had bought a good fit, wasn't loose, wasn't tight...just normal wear and after a few months was hanging off my wrist, rendering unwearable. Bought a velcro sport band on amazon for $7 and have had zero issues since...although I did love the loop. Cannot justify the price..
I'd say the key to getting more time out of the braided loop is to find the band that fits perfectly and then buy one size smaller.. You're right though, $99 (U.S.) is steep for what you get.
 
So I was looking all over the internet for few months to find and buy overpriced (same as new one) Braided solo Inverness Green and Apple comes back with similar color now?
How dare you :D
 
I too swim in the pool of our tears fellow ultra brothers and sisters. I cannot believe they came out with all these new bands and nothing for the ultra. I suppose the 3 billionaires who can afford a Hermes band will be happy though.

I have been hoping they’d come out with a black Alpine loop band, I don’t trust those cheap knock offs on Amazon. A red and orange ocean band would have been nice too.

I really like Sprout, but there is no way I’m going to pay that much for a band that is going to get stretched out.As for the sport bands, I already have fog blue and kumquat which look exactly like the new ones.

Yeah, I'm gonna start looking for something else, as well. It's a bummer because Apple makes this big deal about measuring your wrist and getting the perfect size. If I could go back, I'd probably still buy it...just a smaller one.

I'm enjoying my "cheap Knockoff" black alpine loop from Aliexpress and the quality is amazing.
