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
That’s too bad. It looked quite purple on the website but we know how accurate those photos are. Maybe try it with a few other faces to see if you can bring out the purple and then decide? For what it’s worth though, it looks very nice in the photos!

Need a good light (er) blue sport band. What’s your favorite?
Turquoise is my fave light blue that I have.
 
I tried searching, but has anyone picked up the Pink Citrus sport band? I just got it and Vitamin C in, bought from Amazon, and the Pink Citrus does not feel like my other sport bands. It feels pretty...dry? No velvety soft feel to it, running a finger down the band there's no friction to it.

Box was sealed, and it looks normal to me. Do different colors have a different feel to them? Black, White, Lemon Cream, Red all feel pretty much the same to me, just like the Vitamin C band. Just Pink Citrus feeling different.

Looks fine from the photo? (I'm no expert) But maybe return it if you find it weird. With all the QC issues this season it won't surprise me if the next pink citrus you get is/feels different.

I’ve found that not only are the new colours a call-back to much earlier releases, but the feel is too - shinier, without the velvetyness you describe - more akin to a 2016 band.

Much appreciated to you and ryuworks. All the packaging looks good, and besides the feel everything looks the same to me as the original. If I can get out to an Apple store, I will be curious to inspect one at the store.

This now has me wondering if I should go for Ginger too!
 
Does anyone have the new Red Sports Band and can compare it to the previous red ones? I'm interested in the Red Solo Loop and what it's color is like but I don't think it's out yet so I figured asking to see the new Sports Band is probably the next best thing. :)
 
If I get enough of these band/shoe/apparel fits going, they will ask me to model for Nike, ya?

Ahhh Element 55... my favorite shoe of last couple of years. Cant beat React foam! Also love Vaporfly Street (also all React).

Perhaps a little off topic but if you want to complement your Nike watch bands with the rest of your workout/running fit even more then look into reversible Nike Baller bands. Here’s a Volt one.

Awesome! My brother is looking for a new one on the jubilee. Batman too. So shiny.
I'm a member over on the Rolex Forums. The wait times for the new BLRO are finally loosening up. A few folks have even walked into an AD cold and managed to pick one up. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally...

is the BLNR loosening up too?
 
OK, so, few more pics of my Black Titanium,


Mist Blue looks pretty nice with it - I think the trick is with this finish you need to pick colours that make the Titanium stand out rather than just thinking of whats your favourite colours, me coming from SS where basically anything ‘worked’ with it
