I tried that in the Apple Store. It looks more pinkish than I thought. Decided to stay with the space gray loop one.
You probably saw the electric pink version. The crimson one is red and not available unless you get the Nike version.
Yes I was trying on the Nike version. It’s a kind of pinkish red. The electric pink is only available as a standalone band.
The Nike+ Crimson is already in the store at least as a demo.
Here's a pic compared to the Black/Pure Platinum Sport Loop (on my S0) for reference. Note the stripes on the Nike bands, absent from the other Sport Loops.
Easy, just buy a new one!
Still a few days out from upgrading my iPhone to iOS 11 so until then, my S0 is still my main Watch.
Well... I got my watch a week ago and finally got it set up today. I was originally going to go with a Zagg glass protector (have one on iPhone and iPad) but they told me the S3 version isn't available yet and the S2 version isn't compatible.
So I ordered this one off Amazon.

I work in a metal fab shop and it's a very dusty dirty environment with metal everywhere. Without protection it would only be a matter of time before the watch was scratched or damaged and I can't have that.
Look closely and you can see dirt particles... but it's on the protector... not the watch face.
Gonna roll with this case and see how it goes and reconsider the Zagg when it's available.

I've used a similar TPU cover for the past year with my AW2 anytime I was doing home projects (plumbing, flooring, etc) and it'd worked quite well. One note for ease of putting it on and taking it off; remove the strap piece without the post from the watch and slip the cover on the watch, using the removed strap end to help slide the last bit on the case.

I hate protectors on watches, but would use one if I worked at a tough environment - but would take it off as soon as leaving the area again

I saw your response about the Zagg S2 protector not being compatible with the S3... and upon further review it appears the 2 holes on the left side of the face are positioned correctly for the Series 2, but when you place the case on a Series 3, the case covers the 2 holes, which interferes with the watch’s water expulsion feature.
That's what they told me anyway. Not a huge deal... first day with the TPU case went very well. The watch was protected all day at work.
I'm still probably gonna check out the Zagg glass protector anyway... but am good to go for now while I wait.
I picked up a Nike crimson last night at the store and cancelled my online order. It is a slightly pink color, more of a salmon. Its not bad, I like it and I am glad I got this version but it probably will not be my day-to-day band. I really like the black Apple sport loop.
Same but still haven’t gotten it. Getting annoyed as they have it at Target and Best Buy!!! In stock. Still haven’t even been emailed it was sent
Congrats- sounds great! Do you have any pictures of your Crimson Nike watch you wouldn’t mind posting? Real life photos of this model are scarce and of course I forgot to take photos when I was at the Apple store! Thanks!
Go buy one of the in-stock units and cancel your online order?
Finally dispatched! Said it was due to be delivered 25-31 Oct but now coming Monday so happy days!
