Brandbreite’s Twitter photos, includes the new Chalk leather link (and a few other bands), darn,



… White isn’t even a particular favourite colour of mine and even then I have to admit that does look pretty good. Welp ok, thanks Brandbreite for these pics, pay day is coming up for me and I think I’ll soon decide which ones to order after some careful thought!
 
Congrats!

Any chance you might be willing to photograph ironstone & hasta next to any earth tones you have? Khaki / Olive Flak / Coastal / etc? It would be much appreciated! :)
Unfortunately not the best light anymore...

Olive Flak
Smokey Mauve
Cocoa
Ironstone
Coastal Grey
Hasta
Pine Green
Khaki
White 1 for Reference

Very kind of you! And the lighting is perfect, I think. Nice mix of shade, as well. Ironstone looks fantastic, and I'm glad to see that Hasta is indeed very different from Celestial Teal. PS That's a solid array of earth tone bands!

So hasta and ironstone are just pine and coastal with holes? 🤭
I like them anyway 😄
Looks like Ironstone has more red in it than Coastal and Hasta is a bit more blue than Pine. But they do look similar!

To me Hasta looks very different to Pine. It's in the same realm, but I would hesitate to call it close. Ironstone is closer to Coastal than Hasta is to Pine. This is fine by me since I never got Coastal. I had hopes that it might match a pair of shoes I have from Nike but I think Cocoa would better fit that bill. Very excited to get all three of them however.
 
Ok, I was sceptical, probably because of the disappointing no-show of Amethyst, but my bands have come in and I‘ll probably keep all of them. Partly because I‘m a sucker for Solo Loops in general, but mostly because the new colours are lovely and summery.

Now Tomales is super-close to Linen. As I prefer Solo Loops, I‘ll probably sell the latter.

Looking at the picture I’d say Tomales is more close to Delft than it is to Linen.

Alright well.. this changes things. Ordered a capri Blue silicone case and was hesitant on the band but now seeing the color.. wow it’s gorgeous. Mallard green is nice too. Man apple, shut up and take my money!!

Also, those of you using the Capri band, what color watch face are you using or that is close to it as it seems there’s no capri watch face?
 
Ironstone is so chocolatey!

Hmmm. Surf is such a good shade if Capri is as good but a tad deeper i'm in on the band. I already have the iPhone case coming.

Unsure on Ironstone compared to my magnet gray prototype and Hasta is interesting as well but somewhat close in tone to my light magnet gray prototype so who knowss....
 
Past season question: What color are the size markings on the back of Kumquat? I just bought an open box off Amazon and it's very bright compared to the pictures I've seen. I think someone may have swapped it out with Vitamin C (and stolen two of the pieces because people are terrible and Amazon doesn't look at their returns).

Really like this ”chocolatier” color mixed w/ the black nike holes more than cocoa, which I have and like also! Picking this one up along w/ the Chalk leather link from the local apple store today thanks to you guys!

I also like the vibrancy of Capri blue and I like it compared to the other blue bands. I’m jut not sure if its worth it to have a capri when I already have the Surf band. To me they are akin to the difference between Cape cod blue and Electric blue (with electric being more like capri) when comparing the two blue leather buckles that I have. I never know when to use one or the other since they are similar with one being just a bit more vibrant.

Kumquat’s markings are gray, whereas Vitamin C’s are orange.

Found a photo of the new Hermès nylon band on Instagram. Seems like it’s attached to a gold aluminium watch.
What does everyone think?

Am I the only one who looks at these new Herems bands and thinks they looks like those dime-a-dozen third party bands we've been seeing at Best Buy and on eBay/AliExpress for eons?

There’s just not quite enough pizazz to the pattern on the tongue. Starts promising with the H on the top but then fizzles. It’s gonna be all about the colors.
