I just feel bad for the guy who said he went from like 15 to 90 in two months... I mean who needs savings anyways right?
Don't feel bad for me... My day-to-day costs went down during lockdown, so I was able to invest for my future... These bands are a rock-solid investment, right...? Just like gold bullion and government bonds? 🤪
 
Juhuuuu.
get Mellow Yellow for Nothing. Sealed. I Chat with a User on a Sellers side. Want to change my orange against his mellow yellow. He want papaya. Have a Good Talk. So i Send him a Good Deal for Papaya But he find another One. And at the end he will Send me mellow Yellow for free. Nice man.

Here’s another pic, gen 1 black sport band. Love it.

Love it with all the nikes and leather loops! I don’t think I would do the metal bands, but that’s just my preference. I say rock what you love.
Thanks! I agree it doesn’t work with the brushed metals, but I am increasingly drawn in to the idea of polishing my brushed stainless link, but maybe I’m just going nuts!

So awesome! Flat Silver/Volt is just gorgeous, so clean! Same goes for the white leather loop, which looks like something a modern day Mark Twain would wear.
I hadn’t thought of that but I do like the analogy. Now I just need the white suit!

Pollen is on the wishlist! Just got it's namesake Woven Nylon. @Pitch and I pressured each other into buying the seller's last 2 in stock. Says it'll arrive by the end of the week!

(Okay... I pressured him into getting one after I pressured myself into getting one. Still excited though!)
I am excited for it to come, though! Actually, you don’t want to know how many woven nylons you’ve inspired me to buy recently.

What is it with the hyper grape looking perfect (and is something I rock) but as soon as you just swap out the accent to cool gray I’m back to 🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️...
I happen to really love the cool gray, too, but it’s definitely much more muted. I think I’m more of a band universalist than you

Thank you for the avatar love, the police brutality/extrajudicial murder flag just irks me as a strict flag code bro!
Yes, it upsets me to no end that people equate black people asking for equal rights and justice and not to be murdered by the police with disregard to police being disrespected. Talk about false equivalency.

If I accepted that every band could match every watch then how could I justify having more watches than Apple/Verizon can even pair!

Papaya Loop:

Papaya Loop:
That’s one of my favorite loops! I actually like it much more than the papaya band which I find kinda underwhelming. And I don’t think that every band can match with every watch, just that the ceramic can match with most. That doesn’t stop me from being jealous of your Apple Watch collection, though!
 
Here’s another pic, gen 1 black sport band. Love it.

Gen 1 Black EVERYTHING is better. Sport bands and Leather Loops alike. It makes Gen 2 stuff look washed out in comparison. Really makes the ceramic pop too. Awesome!

Continuing the summer theme this week. Inspired by the Group Buy to wear the hell out of these this week.

Cornflower is easily in the top best 3 Blues ever in my opinion. It was overshadowed by its’ Canary and Dragonfruit counterparts at launch but its such a silent screamer.

As an update on my gold stainless series 4 watch I ordered to go with my Chinese New Year ;) -- it arrived just now, Amazon renewed, and it is beautiful, BUT-- it is not a 44mm as it was listed. It is 40 mm. So I'm returning it. However, I found one on Swappa for $345, so I just ordered that one.

That sucks that it wasn’t the right size but great that you were able to find another so soon!

My order from our eBay seller came in safe and sound. I wish I could of snagged a Hyper Grape Loop from him as well but I’m definitely happy with these 3!
What is the first band?

I’m glad it worked out but I’m surprised the Amazon renewed was even an Apple Watch and not, say, a stopwatch. I took a flyer on a $25 pomegranate from the warehouse the other day and it was more silicone than Baywatch.

Also Coastal Gray Watch face puts the rest to shame, such a nice color complement for leather bands. My marine blue that almost doesn’t smell like Mercari seller cigar anymore:

Summit white Nike Sport Loop. Recently posted those on Show off thread but there you go! It really pops!

Looks very fresh. I ordered one the other day which hasn’t arrived yet. I’m not sure I’m keeping it yet though as my white sport band is a fave of mine and I’m not sure this loop would get sufficient wear. That being said, I LOVE white and wear it often so I prob could easily incorporate it.

I think it’s a great switch up from the white sport band. It’s very fresh like you said, the reflective threads give it a nice shimmer in the right light and if you’re in a loop mood over regular sport band I think it makes this one worth it enough to keep along with your white SB especially with white being a color you adore.
 
Some pics of more bands on the ceramic as requested by @mikedop and my own desire to try more bands on the ceramic!

Barely Rose/Pearl Pink Nike sport band

Let me know if anyone wants any shots of any particular bands, loops or otherwise! Happy to share!
💞Love the White Leather Loop and Barely Rose/Pearl Pink Nike sport band. Currently looking for the Nike one...44mm
 
Do you guys have bands that you love the colour of but don’t wear often for whatever reason? For me, I love the colour of pollen, papaya and pomegranate but I rarely wear them because they don’t seem to fit into my wardrobe as well as cooler colours like greens and blues. Part of me likes to hold on to them because they are beautiful in their own right, I do wear them sometimes, and I obsessively like to make rainbows out of my band collection, while part of me says to part with them and make room for bands I will wear more. Just curious what others think and if I have company.
