Definitely Nike then, great band if you’re into neutrals/earth/military aesthetic. Dark Olive is much more rare to find but also does not look super unique and has that kind of busted/simplistic look of the first year of apple loops. Here’s an old pic where it’s clashing pretty hard with the old gold stainless but still holding its own. It’s much more green than the sport band.Not completely certain... it looks like the Olive Flak but is just listed as Olive.
The photo is Olive Flak. I have one and it's one of my favorite sport loops. It's a very unique color that really stands out. No other sport loop color comes close.
The listing is odd, because (IMO) the Apple Olive sport loop and the Nike Olive Flak sport loop look nothing like each other. So either the photo is wrong or the wording is wrong.
If the model # listed is correct (MM2AM), then it should be 44mm Nike Olive Flak.
Edited to add: pics on my SS S4; and as a bonus, it has the Nike reflective thread. For $25, it's a win.

One of my favorite bands and the first OEM I ever bought. Before that were all knock offs.

Thanks for the Olive Flak pics, guys! Had a $10 Best Buy reward certificate, so put that to use on it.

That looks sick... also definitely think I’m going with titanium on my next watch.
Yes that combination is definitely a great one! While Olive Flak is an awesome green color Sport Loop I do want to add that Cargo Khaki Nike Sport Loop is definitely up there for me as well for the army greens! I love its understated one solid color with lack of reflective threads look also, it’s a great enough switch up to own both and get a totally different vibe with each one, even though they’re both in that army green family. Ok that’s enough from me with photos before people get upset as this is the discount thread not every Apple Watch band or show off thread lol
Yes! I'm getting my Olive tomorrow!
Did anyone else have a problem with their Cactus band? The pin side could not slide properly into my watch. I had to force it in there and it never even snapped into place. I bought another one and the same thing. The Grapefruit band fit just fine. I've never had that issue on any of my bands with any watch. Luckily I prefer pine green over cactus, but it's still disappointing that two of the same band didn't even fit. It would have been a good deal regardless.

I just posted about this recently and nobody replied... I’ve had the issue with a few bands (some are looser, some are tighter and many are just right). For me, I’m particularly having an issue with the Surf Blue Sport Band piece with the holes (size small) in my Series 3 aluminum watch. It still clicks into place but putting it in and out of the track is concerning with how tight it is.
It’s definitely the bands that vary, not the watch. I’m guessing there’s a slight difference in thickness of the rubber since it’s hard to push on even before the middle section with the metal component is in the track.
Yeah it seems like there's a huge quality control problem with some of these bands. A couple pages back in the thread you'll see a post from me about the same issue: one of the lugs on the blue black/mango nike sport band I just got from the best buy sale is so tight that I have to force it in and out of the watch with raw muscle. Disappointing.
I just bought an Anchor Grey Sports Loop band on Amazon for 20€ (had a 10€ off Amazon credit), of course brand new and from the Amazon Spain Apple Store. When i bought it, it said it was the last one in stock? I wish i could trade my Anchor Grey for a Neptune Green. I'm not much into monocromatic Apple Bands, i just got it because i have only one OEM Apple Band which was a Midnight Fog that came with the watch and i've been using it for 2 years, but the Sports Loop is my favorite style of Apple band as it is very comfortable and i like the Nike's.
Absolutely not an expert on Hermès bands. But this appears to be a genuine 44 mm Bambou Hermès single tour in new condition for $250. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken here.

As always, would pay to know the story. Gotta just be he has rich friends who get these couture gifts and sell them to him for not a lot of cash?
Hi guys,
A few questions:
1) What is a "PT" designated band? I see that listed as part of the model number for the ones on Best Buy. Are they to be avoided?
2) Why do I see some 44mm sport loops that seem to wrap all the way around nearly to the other side, when worn on an average male wrist? I have two OEM sport loops, and they end right at the middle of the underside of my wrist.
3) (most important!) Now that I'm up to 15+ OEM bands, is there a thread where we're talking about storage for these? FWIW, I have about 10 Sport bands, 2 Sport loops, a Milanese and a Woven Nylon.

Watch band storage trays, cases and boxes [MERGED]
I am sure most of us are going to end up with more than one watch band for our AW, how do you intend to store your bands? Is there a tray like storage box available in the market? This tray should be small enough to fit on my bed side table.

Yeah Cargo Khaki is one of my all time faves!! The loop and the sport band were two of my top must haves for so long. Finally found both of them for $90 as a combo deal and jumped on it!
