They are not selling it in my country’s online Apple Store though. Every country is different.
The only old sport bands on the online apple store for my country are black white pink sand and pride

My visit to the Apple Store produced some answers to my questions about the current Apple Watch season;
1. Red is definitely much brighter than the blue in person, and despite preferring blue as a color I will buy the Red if I am eventually buying a series 6.
2. Graphite is such a nice color! I always thought that the SBSS looked too black, and too little “bling”, so have always avoided it in the rare years I buy a SS. If they keep graphite I’ll buy it in a future series.
3. The braided solo loops actually looked pretty dull in person, and while they feel decently nice worn on my wrist I absolutely hated the process of putting it on or off (standard solo loops are 100 times worse), so they are not for me. They really don’t look and feel like they cost 99.
4. Standard solo loops are a hard no, but some people bought them because they are new, affordable and looked like the sport bands. The Apple staff who attended to me told me that the braided loops don’t sell well at all, the bulk of the purchases locally are still the sport bands.

For Halloween I want my Nike Spruce Fog sport band. It’s so expensive on eBay. :/
Interesting. You probably can't sell something which is not available and out of stock everywhere. While I absolutely agree about the price, I have the opposite experience here. Everyone I know want to buy a Braided Solo Loop, but its not available anywhere. I had the wrong size and put mine for the original price for sell instead of returning it (so somebody can enjoy it earlier than end of November), and it was gone after few minutes.
Am I worried the band will increase in length over time? Yes. But hopefully not. I think it's a really nice and comfortable band with a completely different look. It maybe should be priced at 79, so its not on the same level like Leather and Stainless Steel.

Today’s band.... soft white ceramic, that came with my new arrival.
Picked it up at a reasonable price because I’d been so converted by all the ceramic pics on here. Now I guess I’ll be doing the corrupting as well.
My first non-SS Apple Watch after 0, 3 and 4.
Back to the Fall ‘18 lineup tomorrow.

The staff attending to me casually told me they have most colors in stock (I assumed except the red one) but not all the sizes, and maybe that one staff might not actually know how the bands are actually selling. I am in located in Asia, and since tourists are not allowed in at the moment (usually the bulk of the people in the Apple Store are tourists buying tax-free), it might be a local thing.
He also told me that sport loops don't sell well too, and showed me the stock status with almost everything available marked with the green mark (in stock). I tend to ignore local band trends and I love the sport loops after trying them out, so that was quite surprising.
I see. Thanks for the additional details about! It would be very interesting to see, if there's a preferred band type in specific areas, worldwide.
Obsidian Mist and Purple Pulse just delivered!
I don’t know if you guys noticed that with watchOS 7, the colors Ceramic, Dark Titanium , Light Titanium and Gold for watch faces (previously exclusive to the respective Apple Watch material Case) , were released for every model.
Today’s pic is Light Titanium watch face with Concrete sport band.
They match beautifully.

G😍rg! I think they got tired of shipping separate software for each device beyond Nike and Hermes.
Yeah, that or one part Hermes Black and one part Hermes Orange... That should cover all the bases.... 🎃
Space Orange/Anthracite and Hermes Orange Sport Band are my two faves...paired with SBSS.
S6 initial observations...
Screen doesn't look brighter, seems the same to me.
Box is much smaller! I guess that's what you get leaving out the power adapter.

Never actually laid out my loops and seen them all together like this. Only one missing (Midnight Fog) which I will attain soon for my personal collection. I collect only colors I actually really like, I don’t collect to complete sets or anything. I only collect to complete my own personal sets. Obviously my choice of loops are all Nike except for one OG Black Apple Loop. This forum is awesome and I love the passion everyone has for bands here just wanted to share my love for my bands with this little photo shoot!
what a cohesive collection! Those colours are great on their own and also also together!

Sorry if I missed it but which one did you end up going with?
Nike S6 SG
Bout to take it for a spin.
Just used to pulse oximeter - cool but not sure how useful that is unless I get sick for the third time?
Speaking of, what's the going rate for an S5 SG GPS? 😅
