Wow that looks stunning

Thanks! You’ll love it! I went through my photos and realized I have Obsidian Mist photos with 3 different casings

I’ll chime in

1. Obsidian Mist
2. Royal Pulse
3. Purple Pulse

But remember everyone has their own personal opinions. I would always place Purple Pulse at the bottom of Nike Loops. I’m just not a fan of that one and I’m a huge fan of Nike Loops as I am pretty much Nike Loops complete except for a few I don’t care to have.

Hopefully that helped a little. I just posted a picture of Obsidian Mist yesterday in the “Show Off” thread and I am actually currently wearing it. It is definitely a top Nike Loop and unique. In my opinion it looks awesome with dark casings.

It’s obviously super subjective, but i think your ranking is spot on.

Hyper Grape continues to be one band that i CANNOT track down, and I bought Purple Pulse with hopes that it could fill the Hyper-Grape-Sized-Hole in my collection…. It did not. The only band I’ve ever returned.

I might have appreciated it more if I didn’t go into it hoping it’d be an adequate Hyper Grape replacement, but. Still wasn’t for me personally. Very, very blue under natural bright light.

Completely agree! I returned Purple Pulse when I bought it as well. I am not a completionist, I buy bands that I really like and skip ones I can go without or will never truly wear. And yes the color of Purple Pulse is very midnight blueish. It took me a while to get my hands on Hyper Grape. I definitely paid a price for it as I was able to get it BNIB but I don’t regret it and it was definitely a must have part of my collection. Pulled out a few shots of it from my photos library. Hope you find yours soon! It is definitely a unicorn. Also just putting it out there Desert Sand/Volt is an awesome purple Nike Loop as well.

Got seller to cancel Purple Pulse. She sent me more pics of other two loops under better lighting. Looks new and legit so fingers crossed. Not bad for £45.00

Nice! Royal Pulse/Lava Glow is a subjective band. Some people really don’t like it and some do. I’ve always actually liked it! Congrats on those two awesome bands for a great price!

ONE DAY…. ONE DAY. I do have Desert Sand/Volt, and agree it’s fantastic, but still doesn’t quite fill that Hyper-Grape-Sized-Hole I mentioned. It’s one of the few bands I would definitely be willing to pay over retail on when the right one comes across my plate. The thrill of the chase is part of the fun, though, all things considered!!

Thanks for your help 😊.

Its a struggle to find loops and bands in UK. There are only select ebay sellers with good collection but they are charging retail price or more for open box or no box loops and bands.

Chargerstore got good collection but 20% tax on top of the asking price is not worth it in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing pics of Hyper Grape loop. Next on my list lol.

True I paid $90 for mine and it was sealed in the box. Which isn’t too bad, some of these sellers out there are selling unicorn bands for around $150 and open box or slightly used or no box which is just too much in my opinion as a buyer but hey can’t knock the hustle and someone eventually bites at those triple retail prices.

Good luck finding Hyper Grape!
 
£35 is nothing if you compare it against below pic lol. But my OCD is the real issue here. Cant stand something scratched by someone else lol.

Summer is coming (from the new watch face color picker in iOS 15/watchOS 8).
This makes my wallet happy, but no sunflower goo is shocking. Only three colors does track with the overall paring back of SKUs for spring, though. Strange that Olive gets slotted in with summer after being its own sport loop 🤔. Maybe just to keep things looking even.
