Bought the Cyprus green sport band from Amazon UK yesterday. They had credited me £10 for cock up with a delivery, so got it for you £39.99. It is a very nice dark green.
 
Dunno if they'll drop em but the returns must be a huge hassle that they didn't seem to take into account.
They would have anticipated the high returns rate, which is why the bands are priced the way they are, the profit margins on them are likely much higher than the other bands.

They anticipated some, but not the level they started seeing.

As indicated by the change in sizing instructions & Watch+band return policy when only the band didn't fit.

Good news! My S6 GPS from Best Buy is scheduled to ship Friday. I'd almost opted for the cellular model because they were shipping Friday too & the GPS model didn't show a date. Gambled, & MAY(?) win.

To keep it band related, I got the S6 with the Nike Anthracite/Black which I haven't had for a few months.

That's true, but by the next season they will have a pretty good idea of the most popular sizes and worked out the logistics to make the process smooth, plus the overwhelming positive reviews meant that they will just continue to churn out more solos.
 
Cyprus Green.
Next to Green, Mint, Pine Green, Dark Teal, Cactus, Spearmint, Marine Green, Turquoise.

You still have your S6 Graphite right?
Nay - Didn't really like the shiny finish in the end after owning a S5 SB Titanium most of last year. I bought this S5 Titanium off of another MR user which included an unused Grey Titanium band. I'll save a couple hundred bucks for now sticking with the Series 5. Have to say, the Natural Ti is an amazing look and feel. If I ever decide the spec bumps are worth it again i'd probably get a Series 6 Natural Ti.
 
Those Olympic loops are sweet, hope to snag a few.

Out of curiosity, anyone here managed to get *Every* band yet? I know a few people are at 1k+.

Apple has only released a little under 500 bands, so if someone has over a thousand, they have quite a few duplicates.

Only person I know of close to getting them all is @toxtrepla, who has every sport band, sport loop, Nike sport band, Nike sport loop, and leather loop, with quite a few leather and Hermès bands too.

Ah ok you were a huge advocate for that finish!
“Dream watch” lol guess we all get a change of heart at times. The titanium looks great and I honestly don’t really see the need to upgrade from an S5 to S6 but that’s just my opinion.

I also have every sport band, every sport loop, every Nike sport loop, every leather loop, and every Nike sport band except Cargo/Black. And I have 4 Hermès but that will be growing soon I’m sure.
