All 3 new Solo Loops ordered!
Plum is obviously unique, the other two may replace a Sport Band in my collection if the colours are too similar …

Hermès Attelage single and double tour in orange swift available from Apple directly now.
A quick set of full collection images from me. Keep in mind, until September I had a S3 SSSB and 16 bands. I think the frustrations of this year + this forum, pushed me over the edge when the S6 came out 🙊
8 compartments in my pull out wardrobe shelf comprising the following:
Top left: all the M/L sized spares
Top Middle: Silver and SB Links
Top right: Seashell, Celestial Teal and Storm Gray sport loop
Middle left: SSS S5 and GSS S6 with Dark Olive and Black/Pure Platinum sport loops (my wear around the house straps)
Middle middle: Baltic Blue and Saddle Brown leather Link and Charcoal Braided loop
Middle right: Hyper Grape, Indigo, Product Red gen 1 loops
Bottom left Nike Sport Bands:
Olive Flak/Black
Anthracite/Black
Cargo Khaki/Black
Black/Hyper Jade
Celestial Teal/Black
Magnet Grey/Anthracite
Light Magnet Grey/Platinum
Spruce Fog/Vintage Lichen
Desert Sand/Pure Platinum
Pure Platinum/Black
Bottom right Sport Bands:
Black Gen 1
Blue Horizon
Midnight Blue Gen 2
Black Gen 2
Gray/Black Ceramic
Fog
White Gen 2
Hermes
Yellow Gen 1
Product Red Gen 3
Khaki
I tend to only ‘collect’ colours and straps I like, although I’m mostly drawn to darker colours but that’s changing now I also have a regular stainless steel.
Some of the Sport Loops look particularly impressive up close. Such as the Indigo here...
Leather Links are currently one of my favourite styles. I am a fan of the Braided Loop but think I’ll hold off any further purchases unless I can get them cheaper via eBay.
And right from the start I’ve had a big like of the Nike Sport Bands, although tend to find they’re better for summer use and working out than U.K. winters.
Of them all, the Seashell Sport Loop is the one I like least but only picked it up because it was cheap. My bargain £30 Stainless Link was my greatest find and my Hermes Sport Band complete set was my most expensive.
I thought I was done for now but I’ve got the Plum Sport Band arriving Friday, which I suspect will be a firm keeper!

Wow! I love the photos! Nice perspectives on a great collection!
Dude, AWESOME collection and AWESOME macro shots. What’d you use to take those?
I find your storage impressive too. I’d love to have a pull out drawer in my closet or wardrobe where I can hold mine too, but it’s hard to find perfectly fitting solutions.
If you plan to keep that collection small, you better get off the forums. I almost miss the days where I had under 40 bands!
Thanks buddy, appreciated 👍
Thanking you kindly 👍
These were with a Nikon Z6 and macro, plus a 50mm for the wide. But don’t get me started on camera kit, I’ll waffle for days 😆
It’s an IKEA Pax wardrobe and shelf. I think they do a full width shelf too so if (sorry, when) I outgrow this I could upgrade the shelf 😁
For now, I’m happy with what’s there but I keep an eye on eBay for certain other bands...and I would like to be in that 50+ bracket on the poll 🙈😅
Oh, for sure! Gotta start picking up some more bands haha
I’ve been trying to sort mine by color since forever. I keep going back and rearranging them, but throwing them in a drawer for storage doesn’t offer much flexibility. They usually just swish around and get disorganized again.
(bonus points to whoever can name all of these.)
Great photo 😁
Not a snowflakes chance in hell of me knowing what the colours are 😆
Sigh, I really want to like Plum, because it’s theoretically purple, but I look at it and all I see is reddish brown. Not the purple we wanted. Maybe when outdoor lit shots get posted.
At least give it a shot before revealing the spoiler!
Left to right:
Flash, Yellow, Canary, Lemonade, Lemon Cream, Pink Sand, Vintage Rose, Flamingo, Papaya, Vitamin C, Orange, Product Red G2, Product Red G3, Product Red G1, Pink, & Red Raspberry.
I had that thought too, but even then it’s still incredibly unique. I really wouldn’t mind so long as I can look at it and go “Yeah, I can see purple in there.”
My guess was yellow, slightly different yellow, yellowyer yellow, yeeeellow, etc etc 😅
Haha! Don’t blame you. I sometimes forget them too.
I’ve got to concur with the others, that is a classy looking collection with some great shots.
My collection shots are generally ‘lay them out an a table and stand on a chair to squeeze them all in’
Thanking you kindly, appreciated! I’d have adopted the same approach if I didn’t have this draw! Forward planning worked for once 😅
Totally agree.
WHY CAN’T THEY JUST GIVE US PURPLE-PURPLE!!
No problem! I'll name them: Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy, Dopey, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Snipp, Snapp, Snurr, Daffy, Bugs, Wiley, Tweety, and Elmer.
(No idea what Apple calls them, but you didn’t ask that.)
This color is 100% perfection.
