Now THIS is awesome. Apple, take notes! These are (imo) the PERFECT bands to start doing seasonal exclusives, like a Christmas or Halloween band!

 
Oh god I just realized I have no new bands coming in the mail right now....
how dare you!

i dunno, i guess we will see if apple decides to make something like that and was using the pride band as a trial run.
 
I have more than enough, courtesy of @Pitch, who helped me get one for I think about $30. Also bought then resold a watch with one, and adding those two to my first one I bought on here, I'm up to 3 42mm Olive Flak bands. It's maybe my favorite color, so it's always good to have a backup... but I need Celestial Teal!
Went with my new Product Red G1 Sport loop today, which was a steal at $30 once again from @Pitch. It’s definitely a welcome change of pace from an otherwise dull loop collection.

I’m thinking Celestial Teal loop next. 1to3 still has them for under $25!

You're welcome! Now find that cheap Close Your Rings loop for me and the @Pitch credit line can be at your service again! Also that Product Red looks stellar! Definitely felt a twinge of jealously sending that to you.

You make sport loops I never photograph because I think look boring look stellar. What great shots!

Mods probably yoinked him off the face of the forums.

#UnbanNobes #BringBack @FenC we need our friends!

Already looking for your CYR loop!
Thank you and yes we need those two back, stat! Go get those mods and find out what happened!
 
Ok thank you for all the feedback yesterday on Nike Bands vs Regular Sport bands. I ordered an Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band and I love it! Even though I know it’s the most boring one of them all, I wanted to start safe. My Loop collection is all Nikes except for one Apple so it’s only fitting I go to the Nike side of the bands lol

Quick question what makes you guys determine whether to wear the S/M or M/L band?

I prefer the S/M because I don’t like how the
M/L loops all the way around my wrist in the bottom and looks like it covers the holes on the other end and isn’t a good look. The S/M is literally just right as it pins for me at the third to last hole and allows the holes to continue to shine throughout the entirety of the band.

That is a slick look! I wear the s/m band too on exactly the same hole as you! I’m a gal and my wrist is about 6.4”. Very comfy this way. I wear the regular sport bands the same way.
Enjoy it....so comfy! For sure you’ll soon want more Nike SBs!
 
I'm looking for one too, not sure if I'm in that "official" count or not....
I did count you! Thought there was one other, so that’s why I said 3-4. 😊

That’s why I wear a s/m, I can’t stand feeling it rub on my wrist bone sometimes.

Looks great! I want to say this was my first Nike band as well, but in all honesty I don't remember. I remember seeing one of the Nike colors at the Apple Store when I first started collecting, I want to say it was either Hyper Grape or Celestial Teal, and that's the band that really made me hunt down the Nike bands.

(looking at my Reddit history confirms Anthracite/Black was my first Nike band. Black/Volt was second, and it snowballed from there.)

Top 3 picks for the Nike collection:
- Celestial Teal/Black (Don't have to have it to know its the obvious best)
- Olive Flak/Black
- Pride 2020

And on your comment about the S/M, I think my choice mostly comes down to the overlap. I can comfortably wear both, and actually used to wear the M/L back when I only had the one band, but eventually switched to the S/M piece as I found it wears on my wrist with less overlapping. This increases breath-ability for me, which is always a plus. Now my OCD won't let me buy a band unless it's S/M, so Hermes doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Chargerstore has it in S/M, and even sells the S/M separately, but it's hard to pay up $100+ on a band for me. Even my Light Bone (which sits under Pride 2020 in my tier list, making it an honorable mention for sheer supply/demand) was a steal just under my max bid at $95.
