The Ceramic got boring, so with help from a friend of the forum here, I bought a Space Black Series 4.

Also came today... I bought this Milanese loop for practically nothing not knowing if it was OEM. Turns out, it is!

Pink Punch Solo Braided Loop
(def feels like a hundred bucks, a tad big but not totally unwearable, I’ve posted it on M**********, for those sainted few that are allowed through its grimy gates)

Excited to see predbr (Product Red Braid) when it comes. Both this and it are the highlights, for sure.
 
Inverness Green BSL is here! The color and the feeling is great, but unfortunately I’m too stubborn and I insist on the 44mm even though it looks too big in my wrist. The look is not really important as I love the screen real estate, but being 4 the smallest size for 44mm makes me reconsider if I should switch to 40mm, this one is a little loose, not that much but it moves more than I feel comfortable. I wish there was a size 3 😭

Looks amazing.. but wish they had more "green" to it.. just as we all say about most greens, I suppose! The texture definitely gets the attention as a result, though - which is cool! Maybe throw it in the laundry a few times to shrink it? :p

In that case forget my question on the show off thread. I am smacked in the gob. Nice!

I know not many of us have cargo khaki in all its brittle, shiny rareness, but I’m def curious to see it compared to Cyprus, which I think I want in its silicone variant just based on looks from Juan’s video.

As in you don’t have Cyprus to do a compare? If nobody beats me to it I’ll do it on a few hours, but off the top of my head Cargo Khaki is darker than Cyprus, which is a richer green.

I actually don’t find mine super brittle and shiny, and it’s possibly my #1 fave band of all. It is (like Obsidian, another high ranking one for me) a little stiff, but not quite so shiny. Obsidian makes my heart sink when I see the shine.

I’m 40% steamed about some pin-rubbish-rub-off, that was probably my fault.

Will It Blend needs to be rebooted but only for products that are backordered by a month and coveted by the craziest people on earth.
 
The stark contrast of the dark side rails is already growing on me...very similar to papaya, wonder if they can make a sport band out of this that would be novel. A nice pair with my cargo khaki Nike shorts.

I have to say the new Sport Loops look a lot better than the two-tone ones did to my eye.

I felt like in the store it was more green than a lot of the pics in this thread. I thought it was nice, and I’m not a big fan of neutrals.

Both look darker IRL than my 11 Pro captures them. CK is a “muddier” green to Cyprus’s bottle. Almost Khakier :D
 
With a delivery yesterday from a well-known enabler from the Eastern hemisphere our combined collection is now Nike Band complete. “Regular” bands are also very close, and mostly it’s the Watch exclusive ones left to chase down.

To that end I figured getting SB complete might not be expensive enough, so why not up the ante and make a new rule that the band only counts if I have the Watch it came with too*? I encourage the rest of you to join me in this fun side event.

So I just pulled the trigger on a Grey Ceramic S3. I think I got it for a good price and it has all the fruit it came with. Of course shipping and the sales tax that gets levied on all low value imports now, but hey; so long as all those local retailers selling ceramic Edition Watches are on a level playing field with the ones overseas that’s what matters, right?

*I’m only part serious. The Light Bone / Black doesn’t need its buddy Watch, and I have no desire for a Hermes in SBSS.

Guys, this is by far the most exciting day in my life. Probably. Not even 48 new bands released on an evening can top today. Probably. Nah, maybe.

I am thrilled to announce "Bandbreite", the app for your ever-growing band collection, is now available on the App Store! 🥳

Back in October 2016 I started this thread. Time flies. 600 pages later the chart is now an app. This is amazing and also unbelievable!

I want to thank all of you guys. A lot of you have supported me in the past answering weird questions or help me to figure out the last detail of information missing on the chart. I really hope the app helps you to organize your collections and to enjoy your bands even more.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first beta cycle too! We've heard you, and we have some great ideas for upcoming updates. If you still have any requests or feedback, DMs and email are open to everyone, so feel free to send them at any time.

Talk to you soon!

Congratulations! What an achievement. Downloaded it and love it already. Thank you thank you! Will send some coffee your way to help with future updates. Terrific work!
 
Why would you sell them? At 101 it sounds like you’re beyond “I want a good selection of colours” and into going complete.

That 101 is very eclectic, loads of Woven Nylons and Classic Buckles etc. So, no, I'm quite far off from a completeness of Sport Bands and in fact have sold a few of them already that were too close to others. I can and do appreciate small differences, though, so I'm sure most Solo Loops will differ just enough from existing colours that I'm going to keep both. For example Deep Navy, while kinda close, is still visibly darker than the darkest blue I had so far (Horizon), so I'll keep both.
 
Also feeling good today as I am nearing one year of almost daily running on October 1. I had never consistently run in my life. Now, I’m 40 years old, have run 351 out of the last 360 days, have dropped from 253 lbs to 200 lbs as of today, and feel great. Looking forward to the next year with my new running partner (my Nike S6 on order).

Wow good for you! That’s amazing. You deserve all the bands you have! Which do you like most for running?
I also started running regularly with the watch in June and now go 4-5 times a week (not as much as you) and just got the Nike s6. Somehow the Nike run club makes it so much more fun with the watch faces!

OMG. I didn't know this app (or this thread) existed! I currently own around 20 (edit: so I went and counted them) 25* bands, and they keep coming! I'm so glad I can have them nicely listed in this beautiful app!

Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. 5 stars!

*26 when I receive my Nike S6 on Monday.
