Thanks to this photo and discussion with @jl.blass614 I’ve ordered the world indigo! Also want to say on record so that someone can hold me accountable (!!) that with this band and the one I have en route from Chargerstore that I’m taking a break from buying new bands for a little while 😬
 
Ultraviolet arrived, sealed in box. For $28 i'm pretty happy.

I'm trying my best not to end up like you guys so it's time to reevaluate my wishlist - how different is the grey sport band https://www.apple.com/hk/shop/product/MR252FE/A/38mm-gray-sport-band-s-m-m-l in real life from a black one? I can pick it up for the same price.

Also - does anyone have opinions on which black nylon band was the best looking out of the 4?

Nice! Congrats, let’s see some pics when you have it!

I don’t know if I or anyone has the power to hold you accountable on not buying new bands. I think you’d have to just create self control and stay away from the forums for a bit. This place will just continue to tempt you but no one wants to see you go!

Thanks for the wise words my friend. I also think I have to stay away from the forums for a bit but I enjoy the discussion and the community here a lot! It’s a quandary. Right now there are no other bands that I want though so hopefully that helps. Also I’m getting much more involved in my garden so having other things to keep me busy and channel my obsessive tendencies into help a lot.

I’m a landscape architect, so if you ever want to post or DM garden pics feel free, always love seeing more people with a love of plants!

How?? Where??

Also, imho this is the best black woven nylon:

Where do you find the Hyper Grape sport loop? I found knockoffs for $5 or so, but I’m looking for the real deal.

I think the gray sport band is way nicer than black, if it helps it’s the same color that ships with the Black Ti and looks very slick on SBSS and SGA and is very cheap on the resale market because it was a default band in 2017. Creates a very smooth monotone look on the SGA that really elevates it from entry level.
 
Can I see celestial teal vs cape cod sport loop comparison?

Black background is indoor, silver is outdoor. Weird it uploaded them in that order but whatever. Cape Cod is bright like a summer sky and one of my favorites for summer.

Thanks! I love plants but my green thumb is sometimes a bit brown so good to have someone to check in with (lol see how I’m extending your offer to share pics there? 😉😊). But seriously, hats off to you and other landscape architects. I really struggle sometimes with placement and timing!

That blue is the epitome of summer 💙

Now this is making me way less excited about the celestial teal loop I ordered last night! (For cheap, at least). especially since I already have Sunshine.

Oh it's still quite nice but as you can see it's rather dull compared to Cape Cod. And to be fair, Cape Cod is a very vibrant blue. Hey at least you got a deal on it right?:p

Cape Cod is making it look very drab, but you’ll love C Teal. All the Nike loops from fall18 have the ability to match any watch case or time of day because they’re so, you know, elegantly understated.
 
Hi, im new to this forum but have been catching up on this thread as i started collecting sport bands a little while ago. But has anyone heard of red velvet as a colour, was it a prototype or something?

With cream cheese frosting white pin? 😂 Sounds like a color that would give red raspberry and rose red and raspberry modern buckle a run for their money.

That’s the problem with comparing sometimes. Putting one color to another can suck the life out of one of them, completely unfairly! I wanted to know how teal, teal was, compared to what I know is bright unadulterated summer blue.
 
I was really lucky in grabbing both brand new for $20/ea.

Id say just be patient and search high and low. It took me about 6 months from the start of my search until I got even one of them!

I agree! I recently purchased both for 20 euros each in a sealed instore demo box (where they are actually called Light Grey instead of Flat Silver).
