Well to follow up on my endeavor. Size 7 for the win! It is so much better. It still leaves the marks on the wrist but is way more comfortable and doesn’t leave me feeling like I need to tug at it to loosen up on my wrist as I did on size 6. I just tried to go based off research recommending to size down but Apple’s actual size recommendation is perfect. Thanks for all the feedback I got back from everyone.

It’s worth mentioning that they’re not always consistent with the actual lengths of the sizes. I’ve seen multiple examples of the same size being a different length.

The most important thing is getting one that fits you! Glad you did.
 
I'll never understand why Apple doesn't release an SB in this color. I know so many people who would buy it immediately.
Sometimes I think Apple purposely turn away business for that crazed hype.
Sometimes it's because braided solo loop costs more, and they want ppl buying them instead of sport bands.

I liked Hermes Bleu Lin, glad in came in a similar Blue Fog sport band this season.
Also liked braided solo loop in Cornflower, as well as Hermes jumping tour in Kraft/ Lime glad there's an iteration of yellow in Lemon Zest.

So I guess attractive/ popular colors do come out in sport bands, but just later...with a little variation. :)

It’s giving me Red4. Which when new is already matte and not gooey.

Might help. All product RED bands. In left to right order - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.

Thanks, guys. I just scored an open-box 5th gen from the link @thousandbands posted last week in the Discounts thread. Would $15.97 be considered what you guys call a “yoink”? 😄

Here is is next to the mystery band indoors and then outdoors (richer one is 5th gen)...

Looks like you’re right; I’m pretty sure the mystery band is 4th gen. Cheers!

I’ve stopped considering any fall21 sport band or sport loop above $15 a yoink since the CellPhoneDynasty drop.

Also it’ll be interesting to see where they go with Red Aluminum after jumping between relatively orange and relatively pink. I could see them taking a break from Blue, but Red feels like something they have to do every year (thanks dodgy charity)
