Papaya, spearmint, rose red, peach, surf blue, lavender gray, mellow yellow, cornflower, dragon fruit, seafoam, red raspberry, Hermes, cloud, blue2, flamingo, yellow

My vitamin c comes soon, I assume it goes to the hall. Gonna see if I can get Ultra Violet from Chargie.

Sport loops are all too unique and varied...too hard to narrow down.
I really wish I had jumped on the dragonfruit bandwagon when Tox had his stash. At the time I had foolish ideas of minimalism wrt my collection and thought pomegranate was enough.
 
I am eyeing a 44mm Vitamin C loop for $35, should I pull the trigger on that? Or is it the sport band that’s the HOF?

Also found a Cerulean for $30 shipped,but it’s only a stock photo and the seller isn’t answering me for actual photos. Ugh. Wanted that one.

What’s up with seafoam though? I personally love it, it’s just odd to see it being listed for so much after it just came out, What did I miss? 3 bands away from completion of this list of good’uns. ^

Featuring, seafoam. Trying out silver stainless. It’s super nice, but half of the time I’m caught off guard seeing a cold metal tone on my wrist over the warm gold I’m used to. Not sure how well the new gold will go with things. Old gold went well with 99% of what bands I have and I loved it. Even though I thought I wanted a yellow gold over brassy, it really was a great color for me.

Anyone has this band on hand? I'm curious how it looks like. You guys remember I had this band even before Apple releases it? But I do believe the official version will be much better than my testing prototype.

Which prototypes do you have again? Got any pictures of all of them together?

I felt the same way! I really like the tone of the new gold and it was the gold I wanted in theory but I didn’t like how it looked with some colours on me. Might have been some of the combos with my skin tone though. Did you sell your old gold for the stainless?

No not yet. Not sure if I’ll uprade to 6 from 5. The tech jump is not a large one

You have a pepsi?
I do indeed. I drink Coke, I wear Pepsi. Mine is a 16710 from 2000. If I'm not wearing my  Watch then I'm probably wearing my GMT Master II.

I had a Gen2  Watch and found it too intrusive. I'm a luddite at heart, pining for the days of my BlackBerrys. I gave away that early  Watch and rebelled, going old school mechanical for my watches. Not too long ago I decided to give smart watches another shot, in large part because my son loved his  Watch so much.

Wrong place to post this maybe, but I am seriously amused at how sensitive and defensive some people get when you point out the visible flaws in their 5 dollar third party knock off bands on their 400-800 dollar watch. It is not even about the fact that their band is a knock off, but something like “oh that Milanese loop’s width is totally not enough for that slot” will trigger some form of angry response. There are decent third party bands of course, but there are also a lot of badly made ones.

These people are insecure because they know their bands are inferior in build quality and finish. When you call them out on it they get defensive.
 
I was at my best friend's home today for a cookout. We're at each other's homes 2-3 times a week.

I had my newest Nike band on (Blue Black/Mango) which he's seen before & he said "You've got another band that's yellow, right?" (which he's also seen) and I was like "Yep, there's a bunch of different types of bands including metal and nylon and so on" :)

I miss this bandvengers: civil war. The current gapgate has very fine people on both sides 🤕

Awesome! My brother is looking for a new one on the jubilee. Batman too. So shiny.

Canary Yellow Sport Band with Space Black Titanium

Hmm I think the Cornflower goes better with the SBTi, and likewise, prefer how the Canary Yellow looked with my SS.

meanwhile, got the Surf Blue from the store, got one of the last few left, I think it’ll look nice with the SBTi with this bands grey tones, I’ll try it on later!
