Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[athousandbands]

Not sure if I understand correctly. Like more stripes on the tongue stap? It feels right for me. Honestly, I would prefer to get rid of the H, so it's just the watch framed/highlighted by very few stripes.

Yeah you answered my question. So you like the amount of stripes. I just think of wearing my leather bands with the pattern and looking all the way down the tongue and enjoying the tapestry look.

Electric Orange def has a pink element; will get more daily wear than the previous colors I think:

So as you turn the wrist and drink in the tongue strap, does the design feel complete or cut-off? I just feel like I would want more.

Cantaloupe looks pink until you put it next to the pink bands and then you realize it’s the first light/frosty orange. Towards a melted creamsicle.

I love the color Grapefruit but seeing it in pictures makes me hee-haw over if I should get it. I'm leaning more towards no, as my skin has a slightly pink tone to it and I feel like it would look like I have a slab of glass glued to my wrist. And same with Cantaloupe. Still waiting on an Amethyst band...

Embrace the nude look! I love Walnut for this reason.

Mallard is Dark Teal. (Teal top, Mallard bottom)

Mallard is every so slightly more saturated, which gives off an appearance of being slightly darker (although that could just be the shine of my Teal reflecting light). Unless they're on top of each other, you're probably not seeing a difference.

Well I would, except it seems I may have to order a mallard after seeing this post:

YAAAAY. I missed the boat on Dark Teal and almost bought one because I love the color so much. It makes me worry though that Apple is starting to re-release bands that are not just 'oh they look similar until you get them side-by-side' but now are basically photocopies of them. Mallard and Dark Teal are like Tomales and Linen this time around, which those pairs have more in common than White Gen 1 vs Gen 2 and Pink Sand Gen 1 vs Gen 2.

 

[athousandbands]

In the sun Tomales is ever so slightly more vibrant than Linen.

Jumping Single Tour: Not a review, but a first impression, and a very positive one. In comparison to our beloved Woven Nylons, the band feels surprisingly smoother on the surface, and is overall also more sturdy and stiffer—at least out of the box. Still comfortable to wear, at least for the few minutes I had the chance to today, but in general, leather is softer on the skin.

It's probably similar in terms of quality and feeling like comparing Apple's Leather bands with Hermès Leather and now the Woven Nylons with Hermès Nylon. The jump in manufacturing/material quality and excellent tactile qualities comes with a huge jump in price.

Dark Teal is one of my favorites. Which is why I don't know how much of the comparative "lightness" is original or just excessive shine. Great color though. Dark without being too dark (see Cyprus, Pacific Green, maybe Midnight Blue but for a navy that's kind of the point).

I almost prefer the "reissued" colors to the similar but different ones because it makes it a hell of a lot easier to not buy them. I have Lemonade and bought a Ginger to compare. In most lights they're near identical. Under blue light the Lemonade becomes almost electric and the Ginger muted, rich and creamy. It's like one is a perfect summer band, the other a nice winter band. I like both. But 90% of the time there's no difference.

Edit: For those curious, Peacock and Mallard (in the most accurate light I could find):

Sea Salt Sport Strap on 44mm SS S4.

Thank you! I'm torn between Sea Salt and Sunflower. I've been waiting for the pictures of the sport loops to start appearing, so I can make up my mind!

Absolutely love this! Will get one as my daily driver instead of the Nike sport loop that I’m wearing.

Do the colours really pop and appear to “jump” off the wrist?

 

[swarlos]

Just got in! Forest Green leather loop! Man the leather loop is my favorite band!

„Jumping“ actually refers to a form of sportive horse riding, a field with a long tradition for Hermès.

If you have the forest green loop by chance I would love to see that. A friend has the Forest Green and would love a sport band version of it.

They're similar but Forest Green (at least on the case) is definitely more green. There's a hint of blue in the right lights. Mallard/Dark Teal is a green leaning teal. Probably 60/40 green to blue.

It's probably the closest to a match. Cyprus is more earthy/yellow than the case, if I remember it correctly.

Some reviews are up:

 

[techno-Zen]

Does the Capri blue band have the heftier material ala Plum? or the rubbery material ala Surf?

 

[ScottC7]

The Bleu Saphir/Orange pops a lot more. Waiting to see someone post it when they receive it

Maybe I’ll get over it but that one feels so Mets/Knicks to me, as an American sports fan of not those teams.

I’m getting this one - should arrive this week. As a Phillies/Sixers fan, the 2nd quoted post nearly ruined my enthusiasm for this band. But the last one renewed it. 😂

I love Introverted. The pinkish turn for the PRed loop seems awesome. And damn Olive‘s main track is as good as the electric rails. And sunflower, nothing more needs to be said 💛

It’s not so much that Saphir/Orange are Mets/Knicks as the Jumping patterns really evokes designs of those teams too, somehow. Like a classic MSG or Shea poster or ticket stub. I guess that’s why I like the Cœur band, it would go with my two Phillies throwbacks with wine red.

Electric orange looks great! Did you find the sizing is different from the autumn versions? One of the videos noted that her size 2 was slightly bigger than the autumn size 2.

Yes! I think the braids are shorter, perhaps to allow for stretching. I noticed they were shorter than the solo loops but they’re also shorter than all my fall braids.

Does the Capri blue band have the heftier material ala Plum? or the rubbery material ala Surf?

I don’t have a surf but my Capri does feel like my Plum, although the Capri is ever so slightly softer.

I kind of have 3 kinds of band, the ‘hard’ bands are Deep Navy, Cyprus Green.
The ‘normal’ bands are Capri, Plum, Pine Green, Northern Blue, Delft Blue.
The ‘thick’ bands are Cactus and Papaya.

Hope that helps somehow, I really like tbe feel of tbe thick bands but think they may be rare.
