anybody with the watch OS beta can spill about any new watch face colors added?

I’m gonna be risking it on my Hermes when the public beta drops. I was looking back on the forum and I don’t think coastal/linen/seafoam leaked right away, I feel like they showed up with the RC in May...maybe. Could just be we didn’t have someone on here taking the plunge early like we did with the member who gave us a sneak peek this summer.
I have installed the 7.4 beta. No new colors yet for the regular faces. Nothing new on Hermès Circulaire or on regular Hermès either. Not sure what MacRumors was on about.

I swear to God if the spring bands are YET ANOTHER shade of blue or orange I am going to scream.

Edit: I have those colors as options and I am not on a beta.
They’ve never not released a blue in a fall/spring lmao. And I’m guessing after the cojones they had doing Pine Green-Khaki-Cactus-Northern Blue, we should probably expect an orange slightly more yellow than Kumquat.

My assumption is blue sells like gang busters being a widely held “favorite” color and they need to not look lazy just keeping an old one there, midnight/deep navy not withstanding as an evergreen.

Yeah it’s suspect that they said that and yet don’t show an Hermes watch in their hands on. Perhaps this is just a bullet point from a source about the eventual GM that will coincide with the March drop?

Although that seems like a long beta period, especially because they’ve clearly given up making Watchface.app run without massive bugs.
 
I did the same for the last couple of says and was rewarded. Yoink incoming 😍

Joking about the number of blues aside, I have all the blue Sport Bands, and I still have blue shirts that don't have a blue match. I actually do want more blues - but not like Northern - that oddball goes with nothing I own and I have literally never worn it since buying it at launch.

I general Apple seems to have a propensity to make their colours weird - blue with a hint of green, or "is green or is it blue?". I'd just like more pure colours, including blues.

Being so deep in (just need Chargie to respond about Stone1 and Apricot), I’m well beyond the point of making a subjective judgment on future bands. I simply will eventually get them all. Do you really think there’s a primary blue they haven’t hit yet? I feel like Royal/Surf/Delft/Blue1/Blue2 really covers it. Where I see them going next is purply blues up to and avoiding Pride Purple haha. Pulling for a frosty blueberry look 🤞🏽

I think we need something at the lighter end. I have a shirt that has a blue stripe that I want to match, but Cornflower / Sky / Mist / Lilac all miss it.

Another shirt has a darker blue in it that Delft / Denim / Cobalt / Horizon / Ocean / Linen all miss. In fact Linen is another band I have literally never worn since getting it at launch now I think of it.

It's not like either of the above are tragedies - for the first one there is a darker blue also that I can pick out also, but I'd like the lighter one especially since I got the ceramic Watch. For the darker one I default to Fauve Barenia os SS link Bracelet.

Sounds like you’re pulling for blueberry!

Wow marine green sport band is so much better than the relatively washed out sport loop! Hopefully they do my “Caribbean water” sport loop and bring something like this sport band to the Sport Loops.

I've worked by the window all day waiting for this to show up and I am definitely not disappointed! Part of me didn't want to break the seal on the box - I wanted to savor it a bit - but it didn't take long before I couldn't resist the sweet peel. I honestly had mixed feelings about how much I was going to like this band (and how much I would actually wear it) but the minute I laid eyes on it I loved it and put it right on. I am so glad I ordered one. The true colors are very difficult to photograph with my phone (I took dozens trying to get one good shot lol) but if you're on the fence I say go for it. I don't think you'll regret it!

Blueberry and Caribbean water sounds awesome

So, straight from the annals of “you couldn’t make that shiz up”...

On Sunday I bought some new tees from my merino manufacturer of choice, as they had a sale on. They arrived today, and stone me if one of them isn’t bob-on for a Northern Blue pairing.

That said two others are light blue and go with none of my blue Sport Bands. Another is pretty much Cobalt however, so a 50% hit rate.
 
Ok so the boyfriend who has been yelling everytime I receive a new band just borrowed the Black Unity band. I’ m like a proud Mama 😂
And so it begins. First, you’ll argue because he will want to use your bands ‘just every now and again because I’ve no real interest in collecting myself’ before eventually he gives in and accepts he’s now one of us.
