yup, the Surf Blue Sport Loop from Spring 2020.
while the band itself is indeed discontinued and doesn’t show up on Apples website anymore, physical Apple Stores still retain the leftover stock for an undisclosed amount of time, where if you ask a Specialist, they’ll be able to see it on their device and have someone bring it out for you.
In my case, i saw on the device it was marked yellow meaning the stock was about to run out, was definitely glad to grab it!
Apologies that’s the Surf Blue Sport Loop (Not sport band) from earlier this year we were referring to 😅 that one sadly isn’t on the website anymore but you should still be able to find it in a physical store
**Edit** Gah! Ignore me! Got my SBs and SLs confused too.
There are quite a few Surf Blue SBs coming up on eBay in the UK, new and sealed or new open box. Apple seem to be giving them to people who have returned their Solo or Braided Loops and are having to wait for replacements. One got snagged for £20 over the weekend. Sadly, not by me.
It’s nice, it’s like Alaskan without the purpleness.

Oh wow, that is gorgeous! Thinking it’ll look great with my Blue S6. Thank goodness Chase Freedom Rewards still has that color. Thank you for the quick response!
Deployment buckle let’s you not to damage/crease band every time you need to put on/off the watch. So it is a warranty of the leather long life without cracks of the surface
That looks far too stress inducing... Fluoroelastomer FTW!
Yeah especially when you’re doing it on a $400 Hermès band. No thanks. I’ll take leather loops over Classic buckles any day.
Just to explain what's wrong there - buy yourself at least one original Single Tour (for full price, haha) and put it on. You will immediately understand, that the most creasing moment is when you getting the tail of the band out from the keeper, and not when you're getting out the buckle tongue.

I posted this in the deals thread, but thought I should post here too.
Chargerstore has some prototype leather loops up for sale, including a leather loop that has the texture of a leather link?

So I ordered Obsidian Mist Loop and Purple Pulse Loop together and I absolutely love Obsidian Mist and will definitely be keeping it but I’m torn with Purple Pulse it doesn’t really excite me though it is a nice looking band. In my opinion it is not purple it looks midnight blue (Hyper Grape and especially Desert Sand/Volt are purple loops) this one is like the Midnight Blue version of the Black Nike Loop
