Was just having a think about something

The three new styles introduced (Solo Loop, Braided Loop, Leather Link) are more or less 'evolutions' or new versions of older bands, with Braided Loop possibly an exception. Solo Loop is a new version of Sport Band. Leather Link is a new version of Leather Loop (heck when this was leaked back in May, the articles were naming it a redesigned Leather Loop). Braided Solo Loop, perhaps could be a new version of the Sport Loop (Apple says in their own words this is sweat and water resistant?). What's next, Nike Solo Loop?

Point is though, it makes Sport Band and Leather Loop look almost like they're now "vintage" or "classic" bands with a "old" size system, and I really hope Apple isn't planning to phase them out and focus on the new bands.. Time well tell!

Keeping with the “Deep Navy” theme today, this time Sport Loop.

I kinda thought the siderails would be brighter, and look a bit more like a Nintendo Switch on my wrist.

I think if they turn out to be best sellers with high profit margins for Apple they might very well phase out the old bands. At this time though looks like there are some issues that need to be worked out so if a phase out happens might not be for a while. Whatever they end up doing, I hope they don’t change the connectors and the old classics can still be used.
 
The talk of ‘The One True Orange’ yesterday made me pull on the Hermes this morning. Probably photographed on here a hundred times before, but it’s just a really nice shade of orange...

And it looks good with so many Watch cases. I’m just as happy with it on my SBSS and my SS (especially since I scored a black pin version on Tuesday), and it looks really good with white ceramic too.

Please though, nobody post a pic on a red or blue S6, at least not without warning so I can avoid scarring my eyes.
 
Guys, I’m having a mental breakdown. I cannot stop thinking that I want to go back to 40mm. But my watch bands 😭 I have a real nice collection going, and injury to insult I had olive flak, celestial teal, and smokey mauve Nike bands I got for cheap but sold already because they were wrong size... so if I change I’m down some expensive bands I got for yoink prices. Not to mention a yoink UV, yoink Dragonfruit, yoink light Violet, yoink a whole lotta bands.. Halp.

I think someone had posted a comparison of all the Product Red loops. Does anyone have that pic? I’d like to see the difference between gen 1 and the new one.

Dang it . Someone posted about a Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green and now I can’t find a 44mm anywhere. I knew I should have just picked one up months ago

I actually passed on it initially because it’s almost a University of Miami band..in person in looks more like a Miami Dolphin band. Living in a college town makes you have to consider these things

I think it gives off more of a Florida Gators vibe but I see what you mean about university of Miami! But definitely doesn’t look like Miami dolphin band in my opinion.

Scored one for $25 on eBay a few days ago. Been away from home, but I think I should get it tomorrow.
 
Photos?

I'm waiting for the weather to get a bit sunnier to really show off the shininess! Otherwise, the photos @mikedop posted a few months back are pretty accurate:



With the help of a very bright lamp, I was kind-of able to show off the shimmer:
