Loving that. I’ve just put on my Fauve Barenia for the first time this morning, but that would work for today’s shirt.

Let me know how you feel when it gets a droplet of moisture on it for the first time (if you even let it near a faucet lol). It’s def jarring to see the big dark blot for the 5-10 minutes before it fades away.

No dude all very salient points. I think iOS 14 is imminent. The current beta feels at most two hops from GM. I could see it being ready a week after September 8th, a few days after the pre-order, a few days before delivery day.

But yeah the band purchase situation is frustrating. Although @mikedop pointed out to me that the studio is much more chill now letting you pair whichever band you want with whatever case (not Nike or Hermes), rather than forcing you into more narrow pairs (maybe this mostly affects the Edition, which you couldn’t get with a sport band when Studio launched; although I guess aluminum+leather might appeal to some).

I think the major weirdness with the idea of bands without the s6 launch is for people who might want a hypothetical new color watch case probably wanting to see the watch before they dive in on bands.

what i’ve been thinking about is this... if the new watch os NEEDS iOS 14, and new watches have to ship with the new watch OS, then they cant release new watches until iOS 14 is released to the public...

if iOS 14 is not yet released to the publice, then the watches wont come...right? i mean, i may be wrong on all of this. if they dont release a new watch, will they release the new bands?

AND IF, if they release just the bands, my plan for the fall has been to get some of the bands included in my watch purchases, because i may buy multiple watches and that would take care of some of the new band releases... but if they release just bands, would i wait till the watches are released so that the bands are part of the watch price, making more financial sense, or if i buy bands next week... i’ll end up getting watches with just bands i already have... i dont know...

if i dont buy bands next week, and then next month watches get released and i buy a watch with a band that was super popular, will that push my watch delivery back because there’s a shortage of a really popular band that is now sold out...

i’m sure all of this is just me WAAAAY overthinking things....

Every watch and band combination without the normal one will the delivery time push up. Thats normal.
This year I will take the SSS one. Maybie with a white band, because every other band will push the delivery time up. I already have a white one. Sell this with my old whatch.

iOS 14 is on track to launch at the same time as always—in September. It’s likely the new phones will ship with iOS 14.1.

Today’s band — the great first-generation Product Red sport loop. Probably the best of a great set of loops from this “class” of bands.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm able to report that I am eating lunch as I type and no moisture has got on the band. I will be changing when I get home before any actual cooking is attempted.

I'm definitely curious about the new fall bands coming out.

So, in my view, I think the pandemic actually has affected what colours Apple has chosen for Spring and Summer releases this year - I found from these two seasons this year, most of them were remarkably drab, Spring 2020's leather colours (Raspberry, Peacock, Deep Sea Blue) were all pretty much gloomy fall colours, while Summer 2020 was also a little drab too (Vitamin C perhaps the sole exception, Coastal Grey was very toned down, Linen Blue was +- a clone of Alaskan Blue from Fall 2019).

Like, compare this with Summer 2019 which had the bright and fun Canary Yellow or Dragon Fruit, or Spring 2019 which had Spearmint, Sunset Leather, or even Electric Blue from 2018 I still remember - there was almost nothing vibrant and exciting like that this year.

I'm curious to see what we get if new bands come out tomorrow 🙂

My rank speculation:
  1. dark blue (every fall they’ve done one, I guess this could line up with the dark blue iPhone steel)
  2. Purple like the pride band
  3. Good Green™ (think emerald or the mavericks wallpaper)
  4. maybe reboot Stone with either the same name or just replace it entirely with a light but warmer earth tone
  5. “” Pink Sand
  6. if they’re feeling generous with the dirt tones, also Mocha/Butterscotch/Caramel
  7. Tangerine/Pumpkin (more likely winter/spring if they are indeed rebooting defaults on a two year cycle)
Nike:
  1. Anthracite reboot. Keeps the name but actually looks gray, although not too gray b/c it can’t match SGA
  2. White/black replaces PP/B
  3. Black/crimson or black/total orange
  4. Chile red/dark beetroot
  5. Barely volt/white
  6. Valerian blue/ghost green sport loop
  7. Laser orange/wheat sport loop
  8. Dark beetroot/pink foamORhyper pinkORfuchsia sport loop
I feel like they would do a drab blue sport band in the tradition of Royal pulse but I just don’t know that Ash Green, which is pretty much blue, is sexy enough.
