Since Jony left...Pine Green-Beryl-Khaki-Cactus-Seafoam (blue-ish, I know), Cyprus, might as well throw Inverness in there.

Even if you don’t believe the Jony aspect, Apple does love their little concatenation of close colors all in a row. Even if scallion is light, think a more yellow beryl or light spearmint...it has to be coming before fall! What else is left in the drab range!?
How many colors can the human eye perceive? 16 million? Apple has a lot of drab shades left :)
 
Isn’t cosmos 44mm? It’s marked 42, so my guess is Midnight considering they said it’s darker than the photos show.
I didn’t double check but if it exists as a classic buckle that means it’s the 3842mm era. And yeah fall 2017, so 42. And this pic (however accurate) looks like it has that green tinge of cosmos. And even if you adjust for the pic being too light, midnight and bright blue are way darker still. Provisionally jealous, @jwlbel...the wins keep on coming. That’s a Dop priced LeLoo if I’ve ever seen one 👏🏽
 
hi there.
a friend needs a photo from a Blue Apple Watch with Sea Foam Sport Band. Could anybody help please?
 
Is it normal to have a dream about Apple releasing new band colors, or should I start getting worried about my bandaholic? Lol (One of the last things I checked before sleeping was the unavailability of several SB colors, including plum 💔)
Bummer about plum unavailability, I wanted to buy one for my sister, and it's unavailable in my country too. Let's hope this is just a temporary unavailability due to to the holiday season.

Else, it seems to me that you perfectly fit into this sweet and mildly crazy community we got here ❤️

Thank you ❤️🙏
I’m surprised it’s one of the three sport band colors that says (new), but the only one among them that is unavailable. Maybe Apple is trying to make it a rare band after it was announced here that it’s band of the year 🤣.
I’m highly considering getting the plum solo loop. I tried it in the past, and it’s super comfortable.

I’m not sure what to do.

Off topic, but my ceramic (S2) won’t pair with my new phone. I keep getting these errors.

Anyone have this issue before?
I ran across incompatibility also, a S2 SBSS I was gong to gift wouldn’t pair with an XS phone that the potential owner had, only with an old 6s I had around. If I recall it was that the watchOS is too old for the iOS?

My watch is up to date. My other S2’s paired just fine...

Yeah silver was too silvery and pacific was too blue, I didn’t think it would match my red case. Gold might’ve looked good in the red, but ultimately went with graphite.

Now I just need the matching watch!
(Seeing as how my S2s don’t want to pair, that might be happening soon. Silver Alum isn’t connecting anymore either.)
Have you tried a manual pairing? That sometimes works for me, especially coupled with a round of restarts on iPhone and the non-obliging AW. Good luck!

Is it me or are there really better deals for 38/40mm bands than for 42/44mm on Mercari and eBay?

Suppose I’ll ask here as well.

I recently upgraded from my S0 (finally). I’ve already destroyed one leather band worth $350+ and not looking to do it again at work.

I cannot decide on a color to replace my 2+ year old Midnight Blue band. I still love this shade of blue and the only other shade that comes close is Ocean Blue, but I’m crossing my fingers hoping to find a good deal on eBay.

With the stipulation that it cannot distinctly clash with red (company color), any recommendations for a sport band that pairs nicely with this Hermès face and the stainless steel body?

My arms are clearly quite hairy and the solo loop will pluck them out taking the watch on/off.

Congrats on your new watch. The S6 will be a massive upgrade from your S0. Even though Apple doesn’t sell Midnight directly any longer, it can easily be found new and sealed on eBay for $20-$25. So, getting a new Midnight Blue band to go with your new watch is definitely an option. You might look at the current Deep Navy sport band. Seems to be just a slightly more saturated Midnight Blue based on the pictures I have seen. Ocean is another option - check out Chargerstore on eBay for that one if you don’t care about having an original box.

Thanks!

The Deep Navy feels so similar that it doesn’t seem like much of a change. My Midnight blue band is actually in fantastic condition still - just bored of the shade.

I feel like I’ll probably end up with a different blue or possibly Plum. I like Dark Teal and Pacific Green as well. Just don’t know if it fits the look of the stainless body and the current face that I like.
