Which bands did everyone go with today?

Finally wiped the dust off my link bracelet and gave it a go. it sits a bit tight on my wrist, but that’s just how I like to wear mine.

Nice!

I'm on vacation so it's been the comfy Flash Light loop (one of my favs) for a week.
I brought a couple other bands but it's been nice to keep it simple!

Delft blue sport band today. However when I was out and about I stopped at The Source and saw that they had one last lilac sport loop which has been on my wish list since I’ve seen photos on here! I’ve attached a couple including one close up to try to show the detail. I really like these older bands with the multicoloured threads woven in to add a bit of complexity.

I love both flash and flash light! They are on my wish list and I keep hoping I will get lucky and find one of them on eBay.

Flash & Flash Light are both very nice, Light wins for me. Spicy Orange is also in the same category for me of just a nice simple color.

Congrats on the Lilac loop!

Great... I think I’ve just found a sport loop I like more than Hyper Grape...

Great shots!! Lilac is one of the best Sport Loops ever released. Its also an anomaly in that the naming convention was reused years later After the Lilac sport band, which also doesn’t share a single thing in common. I’ve always wondered why that was? Baby Blue vs Purple/Red tones.

I’ve never seen the lilac band in person but yes in photos it looks much more blue than the loop. I like both but I think the loop is more true to colour of the flower.

One question - this loop felt much more pliable than my other loops - when I put it on the part where it folds over is much flatter than what I’ve experienced with others. Is this just my imagination?
 
I took a SUPER lazy photo of my bands in box today. Would like to lay them out nice one day when my 2 year old daughter isn’t running amuck at the same time.

Sport bands include: Dragonfruit, Pink, Papaya, Flamingo, Grapefruit, Yellow, Lemonade, Lemon Cream, Mellow Yellow, Green, Spearmint, Turquoise, Lavender Gray, Concrete, Stone, White, Cocoa, Black, Nike Pink Blast, Nike Royal Pulse, Nike Pure Platinum/Black.
Missing were: Azure, Vintage Rose, Midnight Blue, and Silver Milanese Loop. Sold because I knew I wouldn’t wear them enough, wanted money for different ones 😉 I’m pretty determined to keep mostly the bright colors in my collection, and phase out the darker ones. Also, I guess I left my nectarine loop somewhere else... must find!

Great collection! I agree with you on culling collections to keep the colours/styles you really love. I’m assuming based on your collection that blue is not a fave colour?

It’s got to be the right blue. I need the original gen blues, I LOVE cerulean, I wouldn’t mind a rich royal type blue, surf blue looks nice but I haven’t seen it in person. Generally, it’s not a color that jives with my clothing style, or stands out enough for me.

Looks great! I love the way bands look from the side view, especially where the connectors are. Something so satisfying about it!

Here are most of my M/L pieces in no particular order.

Also! Cape cod loop is high on my want list for blues.
 
If you have the white woven nylons with stripes, me and @Pitch would love to see them on the ceramic!

Great collection, by the way!
Sadly, no, just the white pride, which incidentally only looks good on the white watch. It ended up being a little more beige than the hero shot and never looked right on SSS.

Evactuate the building. Killer setup as always man. Does the ceramic ever look bad with ANY sport band?
Yes! I don’t like it with dark sport bands unless you’re going all the way to Nike anthracite or black. Imho anything darker than surf blue/dragon fruit contrasts way too much. All those darker bands @Pitch put on his mafia ceramic were not doing it for me. Even that gamma is a toss-up tbh...I saw it on here on a s2 ceramic with the white back and it looked so good but I’m really coming to resent the black ceramic back on the s5 even though I totally get how much money it saves Mr. 

Dragonfruit Loop Vibes today. I still like the DF band better than the loop, but this thing has really grown on me. Kind of hits you in the face with its Color saturation. It almost sort of “glows” in the sun if that makes any sense. makes me wish it was reflective...
