I had that issue with my S5 in the store with Obsidian Mist but not Spruce Aura.
I think the general feeling is that it's a manufacturing issue with new bands and possibly new factory.
Looks great!
Got a tip for us?

Well, at least it's the band(s) and not the watch.... I'd hate to have to send her back 😅 I'll contact Apple about this
Nike Sport bands have always been tight for me
Yup I have this issue too. I got a Nike s6 on my 40mm and used the included Black / Anthracite sport band. One side was no problem (the smaller side with the pin on it), the other side was a problem! much harder to get on. For reference I used the smaller strap of the two included.

Thanks for your feedback - it seems to be a broader issue then!
FWIW, after a few band swaps it loosens up a bit. Nike bands always quite tight but less tight than the first time I had to put it on!
Today’s sport band — Deep Navy. Yep, it’s a deep blue Apple sport band. That’s for sure. Not a bad example of this extremely not-rare variety.
Yesterday & this morning - Nike Bright Crimson loop (this always seems to get people's attention)
Today - Ultraviolet

Anyone buy an SE instead of just buying a band?
Looking at a Nike Loop $49
Same Nike Loop attached to 44mm SE $309 Seems like a deal
But I guess in reality I would be better off buying 6 Nike bands as the resale would be much better.

Yeah, Nike bands can really appreciate in value, but the watches don’t.
Finally saw the Kumquat in real life, and it was much paler than I had anticipated. Could someone give me a side-by-side shot of Kumquat and Papaya please?
Well you could say this is closing out September in style!

Very nice! My dog is very high energy so my challenge goal is exactly 100 miles more than yours and I am decidedly not gonna make it, about six miles short come the 30th it appears. Not mad about it. No!

Kumquat Sport Loop v. Papaya Sport Loop
I have stopped collecting and will only buy a band if I love it or if it has potential of increased resale.
I forgot I had a Papaya loop and ordered the Kumquat because I love orange bands. They are so close you are making me reconsider my purchase....
BTW Papaya Sport band is one of my all time favorites.
Damn that’s awesome, close to 200 miles for the month. I tip my hat to you! Well done!
Thanks a lot! Looks like I have to hunt down a Papaya then, as orange is my favourite color..Watch Band Buddies - Similar & Complementary bands

As much as the “two-face” fall20 look is growing on me, especially when the end caps don’t match the lugs, I would take papaya over kumquat in a second.Thanks a lot! Looks like I have to hunt down a Papaya then, as orange is my favourite color..
I was lucky to score at retail price from a UK seller. If by chance you have a 3840mm watch he appears to have one left. Only seller I’ve ever seen with it. DM me if that’s your size.
Blue black/bright mango (think this is gonna lead to a pink citrus solo loop)

Goodness every time I see a ceramic I want to jump on Swappa and hunt one down haha
I’d say its pollen as it looks like a dusky yellow compared to Lemonade that is a little brighter and a clearer yellow colour if that makes sense. I have pollen and it looks identical to yours.
It's hard to tell! I was thinking it was Pollen at first, but then going by this pic it looks closer to Lemonade. 🤷♂️ They're both from the 38mm years, right?
Ah, dang, but now in this pic, it looks like Pollen again! (Pollen is 2nd from left, Lemonade is 2nd from right.)
Why must Apple have so many bands so close to each other!? 🤪

I took the chance on the Grey Ceramic from CeX... even before it arrives I know it’s not the right thing, as they put the Serial Number on the dispatch note...
It’s going to be a Silver Nike S3 apparently. Will be going straight back.
