I forgot to mention that it has 40mm stamped on it. So OG Pink is ruled out and maybe Nectarine too, I guess? Clementine is certainly after the 38 to 40 switch. Is Nectarine from the 38mm era?

BTW it would be a good feature for Bandbreite app to show if the band released as 38/42 or 40/44.
It sort of already does. Anything after Fall 2018 (including fall 2018) should be 40/44.
 
So..... I threw my demo boxes out. If they were cleaner I would have kept them. But you’ll never know with paper packaging what kind of horrors lie in the fibers. Even the labels were dirty and one of the boxes had writing on it.

On a different note, here’s my latest purchase drying after their soap and water wash regime.

So I’ve had my pollen sport band for a few months now but have only reached for it a handful of times. Maybe it’s because all my other sports bands are so bright, but I’m kind of feeling bleh about the paler pollen.

Anyone else fall out of love with it? It didn’t blow me away when I got it but I wanted something yellow.
Im looking for that band! Do you have pics wearing it ?😊😊
 
I have to say I’m a big fan of the Gen 1 Product Red sport loop. I’ve admired photos of it on here for a while, and just took delivery of one today from eBay. Unboxed but pretty much as good as new for half of retail. Very pleased!

P.S. I know the band is technically upside down but it feels unatural to me having the adjustment end of the loop on the outside of my wrist (same with the leather link).

Love how it looks with the grey sweater.
 
Today’s band — back to garden variety Fall 2020 with the pink citrus solo loop. (Sorry to disappoint anyone expecting more freakshows.)

Love the solo. Think it goes well with the Ceramic. Still kinda meh on the colour itself though.

I really like this colour. I think it looks more grapefruit that the grapefruit band. And it looks fantastic with the ceramic.

I wear my loops the same way. Because my wrist is so small, if the loop is at the bottom the bulge angles the face of the Watch away from me.

Love that color Red, just got that band recently myself!

A care package arrived from a dear forum pal; yet to be opened. More on this later, for sure!

In other news...

Here we have it, folks.. The gen 1 family:

For this next one, I'd like to direct some appreciation to @PurBle for convincing me to give Cyprus a chance. It is fantastic. It is indeed dark, but it looks very nice in person. While it is very much one of your classic less-than-photogenic bands, I must say: if you want a deep, rich green.. go for it.

Pretty good shots! Love the color matching on those red pics!

I wear my SL the same way ! 😍

Precisely for the same reason ! 😇 😊

Wait... we’re “supposed” to be wearing the plastic loop at the bottom of the watch, and the lug straight into the band at the top of the watch?

Apparently I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. And I have no intention to stop doing so.

😂 I only found out quite recently as well. It's a much more comfortable fit that way, at least for my wrist size.
 
I'm working on a walnut band holder right now out of some scrap wood leftover from Christmas gifts, and I'm sort of disappointed in the walnut sport band. It just looks so blah compared to how the wood can look, dark and marbled and sort of purple-y undertones. Suppose that's hard to make a band out of though.

pics! Sounds like a fun project.
 
The bands arrived. The bright one is definitely Vitamin C, can't be anything else. What do you think of the other one? Nectarine or Clementine? It has a pinkish tone.

It could be any of this pallet.
They are all almost identical to my eyes, all coral-salmon color, that you can’t differentiate them to each other.
Definitely one of apple’s favorite colors, and a must (at least one)
