Really? So how do you know where you are? 🤔

I didn't hop aboard until S2. S1 only exists for me through mythic tales told by wise old heads who wrestled with WatchOS 1.0 and lived to tell the tale...
You're thinking of the First Generation "Series 0" watch. The "Series 1" was released alongside the Series 2 as the more budget version, doing away with the 'sport' variant. It only came in aluminum finishes & didn't have the GPS, water resistance, or brighter display of the Series 2. I've always brought my phone with me on walks or runs, so it piggybacks off my iPhone's GPS. Would be cool to do away with that, though.

Ah yes, the Series 0 retcon. I’d edit my post, but then this convo will look bonkers.

This begs the question as to what Apple will call the thing that replaces Series 3 (which surely they must?) Series 3.5? Series 4.1? Series SE? Hey, as long as the Watch Bands still fit...

Call me crazy, but I think Apple just might keep the Series 3 going for another year. They might give it a bit of a spec boost, but that's about as far as they'll go.
 
(Product) Red G1 loop today.

I was looking at the bands that are still available on Apple Uk and noticed that all the Ceramics and silver Titaniums in 40mm are currently sold out/unavailable 😢. The bands themselves appear to be available still but I wasn’t expecting the ceramics/Titanium to be gone not sure if this means no S6 ceramic coming 😬

Fine, but don’t come crying to me when you run out of bands to collect!
It's funny you should say that...
*sigh* I don’t collect Nike, I don’t collect Nike, I don’t collect Nike, I don’t collect Nike, I don’t collect Nike...
I repeat this to myself every morning in the bathroom mirror. It's not working...

With no thought for the photo shoot, my wife has gone out wearing the Barely Rose.

Spruce Fog, Obsidian and Hyper Grape are in the post.

And an alleged Flat Silver/White from CeX, but it'll probably turn out to be a Pure Plat/White... or Pink Sand... or an Xbox controller. Who knows.

P.S. Anyone have a S/M Olive Flak going spare?

Absolutely brilliant... imagine if there were as many Nike bands as sports bands; after all the possibilities are endless 😉...
 
Before I joined this forum, I saw Watch bands as a fashion accessory... only a few weeks later, I realised that they are actually an addiction 😭...

All the bands I purchased since joining the forum... and thanks to @MostlyARMless and @DoubleFlyaway, Nike midnight turquoise on the way too.

RIP to your wallet.. but have fun and keep in mind. Resale is usually above retail or at least break even-ish if you want to unload bands later.

That’s a heck of a not-collection you’ve got there!
 
There's a few Nike's I'm missing, I'd like to see on a dark watch to know if they're worth picking up.

I've been loving Black/White...

any pics?

Pure Platinum/White
Flat Silver/White
Flat Silver/Volt
Black/Cool Grey

Pure Platinum/Black & Barely Rose/Pearl Pink in substitute of Light Violet, which I do not own. (They’re pretty similar.)

They’re really that bad, huh?
Maybe I’m being unkind... the real problem is that they don’t have an obsessive/encyclopaedic knowledge of watch bands. I can understand when they receive them unboxed, but a recent attempt to get a Black/White ended up being a boxed Pure Plat/Black. Yes, to the untrained eye it could be considered to be both black and ‘white’, BUT THE COLOUR NAME IS WRITTEN ON THE FLIPPIN’ BOX!

In the early days of collecting, it almost didn’t matter what they sent me, because I probably didn’t have it. It’s a different matter now though. If Lilac or Spicy Orange come up, I’d have to take a chance and order, but I’d expect Lavender and Apricot if I’m lucky, or Pink Sand and a non-OEM if I’m not.

I’ve just ordered another Midnight Turquoise for my wife, as she has liked the look of mine for a while. Figured it might not be around much longer - definite future classic.
 
Any time!

I just got Black/Lime Blast in today. I am now down to 2 Nike bands before I have all of them. I already have a few sellers with a Light Violet that I am waiting on hearing back from, so all I'm hunting for now is Celestial Teal!

Nice work!

That's a great one! I'd get it if I didn't already have Black/Volt
