Speaking of iridescent and Orange mixes. Wearing Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green today and the orange threads pop so well on this Loop. In different lighting scenarios it’s like the orange comes to life. Every time I wear this one I’m reminded of how unique it is!

Also just an update I ended returning the Purple Pulse Loop, you mentioned trying different faces to make it pop. Did all that and that Loop still didn’t do it for me. Oh well they’re not all meant to be part of your personal collection unless you’re a completionist.

oh heck that looks good.Can you show other angles with more of the band?

Calling in the experts. My Black/Lime blast SB just arrived. I'm very happy because it was listed on ebay as an "Upon Box", and it really looks pristine, like it hasn't been worn even once. For half the retail price, I'm very happy.
I have just a small doubt: it seems to attract more dust/hairs than any of my other Sport Bands (2nd picture). It could be because it's black? Or particularly new?
It really looks and feels legit. Also clicks perfectly in my AW6.
Dropping some pictures for your examinations:

So I finally gave in and ordered a S6 Alu red from Amazon. But now I’m stuck with another product red sport band when I already have the Gen 1.

Good morning from Germany! ☀ View attachment 970963

Looks awesome -- specifically the braid, but also the nice weather you appear to have today.

It looks to be a very close match to the primary red (ie. the edges & lugs) of its gen 1 Sport Loop cousin -- which is what I was hoping for (and others, I bet)! Even more excited than I already was, as that's my favourite red band (of any format) released to-date.

Thank you again for the quick shots!

The red band will come in a sealed box so you could just sell it. Probably won’t quite get the full $50 back but you should be able to get at least $40 to put toward a different band.
Yeah I suppose I could, but checking local forums it is already full of listings of the red band. I’ll love to trade locally, but it’s probably hard to find anyone else here interested in swapping bands.

Looks like lilac on my screen...
I wished it is. But I bought it new in box so it’s definitely lavender.

I picked mine up from the Apple Store today and the color is identical to the first generation red Sport Loop. I love it. Sorry for the bad pictures, just had to take some before the sun goes down.

The only issue I'm having with this band is the size... 7 is a bit too tight for me, 8 a bit too loose... But I love this color so much!
The apple tool showed size 7 for me (17cm), picked up size 6 as I prefer a snug fit. It might be a bit too tight but then again I found it a bit too loose one hour ago. It will stretch over time, so I think size 7 would’ve been way too loose. As the return window is 14 days, there’s still enough time to decide whether the fit is right or not.

My favorite two sport loops are Red (1st gen) and Indigo. The red braided loop was an instant “must have” once I saw it for one second during the beginning of the Apple keynote as the color looked like the 1st gen red Sport Loop... So I just had to get it after seeing the color confirmed on your photos. :)

Looks nice! I am waiting on some black lugs to arrive so I can make a similar swap. Out of curiosity, where did you order yours from?
I ordered it on aliexpress. Some of them stagger to the sides after clicking, so it is better to order several pairs at once.
