Philly fan here, I must apologize that I totally snubbed the Bucs, total accident! Beautiful stadium yous got there and the best jerseys in the Central by a mile! More than a little jealous that you only have to shop bands once to cover your bases...

Most of us who live here snub the Bucs so it's really not an issue 😂 Great stadium for sure but it's like Error 404-Team Not Found. The uniforms have almost always been a strong point of the franchise. It's been a while since we had much excitement when it comes to baseball in this city. I'm a die hard Pens fan though so that's where my loyalty is as far as sports goes.

As for the bands, who shops just once I'm always on the lookout for something that strikes my fancy 🤣 Or when @twanj posts pictures. That almost always results in something new.

on topic: who is installing the beta to find out new watch face colors???
 
My 2 Hermès band collection + the one that I want (Étoupe) 😂😂😂

I hope for the series 6 they will release a new color for the deployment buckle. I would love the Etoupe color or a dark blue or dark green.

The etoupe was once discontinued for 2 seasons I saw and after that it returned on sale again. I hope it happens the same cause is a basic color, just like white an black sport bands.

Sooo glad I don’t collect Hermès. That gets expensive quick, and hunting down the bands I want for a good price sounds like a lot of hard work. Hats off to you guys, though. I couldn’t put myself through that kind of search haha. And best of luck in finding one, @francoc02o! You’ll get one I’m sure.

Suspended? Oh no!

Will the Series 1 be supported for WatchOS 7? I doubt it, but if it is, I might try out the beta.

Yeah that’s a super interesting question...clearly it’s not getting sleep mode but kids mode would be a no brainer, as the S1 has to be popular among the TikTok set.

Am I dating myself here? Is TikTok even popular anymore or have the youths finally realized it’s a front for the Chinese government to fill their concentration camps?

And if I recall correctly you can’t get the watch beta without paying for the private dev beta right?

My third Pride 2020 band arrived today and this time the bottom locks in and not the top 😭😫😖. It’s going back and I’m officially giving up. I have the Nike one and will be content with it.
holy cow! that’s unbelievable... im so sorry... i know it makes one feel really sick when something you’re so excited about comes in and it doesn’t work out. it just takes the wind right out of your sails. I really do hope you can eventually find one that works and i hope it doesn’t get you down for too long.

its friday!!!?? yay!!? (sorry, i’m trying!)

Unfortunately, no, TikTok is still popular...

For sure, a watered down version of the software would be great for the S1. Also, meant the public beta, not dev betas haha.

So sorry to hear that. Both of mine worked on the first try, but now I’m curious if I just got lucky or if there’s some difference between the older style and the newer style of watches that’ll cause the bands to work on one but not so well on the other?

Ok good to know...I am about to decommission my SGA until the end of Covid to make room for the gray edition...I think I have an old iPhone 6 but I’m also willing to let someone else be the hero here finding the colors. I mean is there even a track record of the summer beta leaking the fall colors this early if at all?

One of the straps on my Nike pride band is extremely difficult to remove but I’ve kept it. I’ve thought about sanding down the lugs... and then there was that black OEM strap a few weeks ago I had to send back because it didn’t click in. It seems quality control is down at the band factories!

It’ll be a while until public betas are out anyways. I don’t think there will be any new colors on the watch until those are out.

I have a Red/Gold Woven Nylon that doesn’t like to click in. It’s really tight going in and out, so much so that I’m afraid of breaking it when putting it on or taking it off.

Both my pride bands are fine. No problems with either one and I have a S4

It’s disappointing for sure but I realize sometimes things go wrong in production. It’s a shame though as it’s a beautiful band. Luckily I have many others that I also love and that work fine. I was thinking to order the sea foam but now am feeling a bit cautious.

I have the same exact problem, chargerstore right? Red/gold with the gold buckle? It’s clear the lug is oversized and needs shaving.

I also have one where the middle pin actually hangs out the bottom like a dingleberry and needs to be tucked up before installation 😂

Actually, secondhand on mercari. Wasn’t a gold buckle though, just silver. Shouldn’t change how it locks in though.

Thats the only band of my 70-something collection that gives me problems. All the others work exactly as you would expect them to. Wonder what makes that one band so tight?
