Obsidian Mist SB order placed... Still deciding on between the Mango SB and the Purple Pulse SL...

I also like the Cream SL and the Ginger SB.

Kumquat... Looks good too, I like the orange as the main color, but I don't think I like the 3rd color... keep both sides the same instead of the three-color affect.
 
So I guess Magnet & Obsidian Mist are two different colors. Who knew.

If anyone who has magnet is grabbing obsidian mist, please compare the two!

On pure color novelty Ginger feels like a pass, but if I feel compelled to try one solo sport, maybe...

Please post a pic when you receive the Obsidian Mist. That’s my top contender right now!

Didn’t realize the new woven bands are $99. That’s bonkers, even for Apple. They’re made of recycled yarn ffs!

These “one size” Apple bands seem like a really weird step. You have to measure your own wrist, which puts it on the customer to find the right fit. Not a great user experience. I especially don’t understand the point of the silicone ones. They are too similar to the existing sport band and made of an inferior material. The woven ones are interesting looking, but not at that price.
 
I opted for the Purple Pulse Nike sport loop with my SG SE and got the Obsidian Mist sport band on the side. Almost got the Obsidian Mist sport loop too but removed it from my bag at the last minute.
Those are the ones I'm looking at too. I want to see how close the Obsidian Mist loop is to Celestial Teal before I buy.
 
I was very hard pressed to choose only two $49 options (for now). I went with the colors that will bring me the most enjoyment on my trip later this month.

-Blue/Mango Nike SB, and Cream Sport Loop.

I love the idea of purple pulse and obsidian mist Nike loops but they will have to wait! I just like a lot of the choices, really. I would see in store but for some reason all stores are open except for mine, even though my county is open and called off corona restrictions. Wish that meant I could waltz to the Apple store but the mall is slacking I guess..

The new Grapphite Stainless Steel that replaces the Space Black looks very shiny and elegant, somewhere between Silver and Space Black SS.

Not planning to get a Series 6, but I will have to look at it in person once it's convenient again to do so as it would probably be the one I go with to replace my Space Black Stainless Steel Series 4 if SB is no longer offered as a finish going forward (or is only available with the Hermes watches).
