Awesome awesome!

What does your woven collection look like now? Seems like you've bought more in the past few days than I have the entire year. Don't at all blame you though, I love the nylons.
I’m only missing Midnight Blue (have the check, which I think is enough, unless I get a great deal on one), Gold/Royal Blue, Yellow/Light Gray (neither does anything for me, at least from pics), Black (the close your rings seems to fill that niche for me – though if I found a New Zealand Olympic I’d pick it up as I love the black band/white buckle contrast), Red Stripes (I don’t like it), Midnight Blue Stripes (same), Spicy Orange check, Black Check (looking for a deal on both), Pride 2016 and the Olympics. I’ve gotten most of the ones I bought for $20 or less so at least they weren’t crazy pick ups.
 
If it makes you feel any better, I decided to go with a Ceramic on the next upgrade (S6 or S7 depending on feature sets). Everyone here will just reaffirm what you already know to be true...

I'm thinking about it too, but I like having a dark watch as well.

Also want to get my mom one for fall detection.

Hmm have to figure out the best way to upgrade.
 
Happy independence day!

Sell the S5 a week or so before the S6 is announced, use the money to put to a S6, and get a used S4 after the announcement for your mom.
 
I understand, some peeps need to stay away from caffeine. I hope that never happens to me, but that is me. A nice hot mug of a good Columbian grind...... My mom would give me sips of her iced coffee when I was little, I think I would find it too sweet for me nowadays.

to stay on topic, I know there’s a cocoa band, I guess I need Apple to release a coffee colored band.
I’m a down south strong coffee girl...don’t leave your spoon in your cup or it’ll dissolve! I’ll take a coffee band please!

Azure sport band; @Martinpa hope you approve of the color matching today!

Pollen woven nylon as requested by @mikedop Have to say, wish the lugs on this were brighter like the yellow in the band itself.

Space orange/Anthracite woven nylon. Love this one, though.
Why? WHY??? I have all those bands bar the leather and it just seems to work perfectly with all of them!

Let me ask you a question, how much do you spend on coffee in a day? A week? 😈
Right now? At the end of lockdown, working from home every day? Not a penny! That’s how I’ve been funding the exponential band growth...

My bean-to-cup has been taking a pounding though.

If the S6 is not too compelling an upgrade, maybe I could snap up a used S5 from a bleeding-edge upgrader, safe in the knowledge it’ll have a year left on the warranty. Hmmmmm...

Then who’s trash talking it? 🤔
I’m pretty sure i have before! Hah... But if I recall, it was in the context of paying retail price. Its one of those where if you can get it really cheap, go for it. Otherwise... There’s better out there.

It’s not that its an inherently bad color, but to me its the least interesting of the Neutrals. Walnut eats it for Breakfast. Concrete is a better variant of it. Antique white is softer in a better way. Etc... With that said, this applies mainly to Gen 2 Stone. Gen 1 is actually a bit better.

Mine came with my watch so, no complaints. I really want a (cheap) walnut, though.
