Is this normal. Nike Sport bands done some damage to my skin. Been wearing same as my mechanical watch with room to breath. Hole 3 from the bottom.
I think I've had a bit of flakiness on occasion as in your second pic, but it didn't bother me terribly and went away quickly. I haven't noticed it -- nor any other irritation -- to any degree recently.
 
....and @athousandbands comes through again. 😁 Big thanks!! 🙏
It’s my dream to make these meta images and then be able to clip out little bits for this exact purpose. We got lucky your three make this perfect triangle in my chronological pic. They’re not so neatly arranged in the ROYGBIV sequence. Planning to do this summer’s “all the goo” in a modular way so I can spit out whatever comparison composites I wanna make later.

I hope you guys aren't sick of seeing Nike Royal Pulse/Lava Glow yet, mine arrived some days ago. Seriously difficult band to photograph. Most pics I've seen of it are taken in sun which doesn't show off how silvery it is in shade.

Overpaid a bit for mine because I really wanted it, but now that I have had it on my arm for few days I'm not that huge fan anymore. It just looks silver to everyone not looking at it real close, myself included. And silver isn't really my jam.

Wow ok, I really have to say, the Capri Blue Sport Band is NOT overrated at all, it absolutely deserves all the love it gets on here. Apple has released hundreds of blue Sport Bands, and believe me, I‘ve had my thoughts on many of them being “too close to the this one, I’ll pass”, but Capri’s not one of them. This one actually looks distinguishably different (unlike say Tomales being a clone of Linen), its really bold and vibrant, gives me vibes of beach, seaside, summer, all that stuff! In fact speaking of summer, it was this users post that made me curious about getting the Capri. Thanks!

A pity it is not available as a Solo Loop as hey I have too many Sport Bands, but probably Canteloupe which I plan to buy next, will be a Solo Loop!

Anyways, some pics, Capri really is incredible, a keeper for sure in my books, these pics are indoors, with no editing to touch up and even in indoor lighting, Capri is so vibrant, looking forward to taking some pics in daylight!

If you’re on the fence about this band like I was, I say - go buy. You won’t regret it

I will always associate this band with @map1978…hopefully we don’t have to wait until spring 2022 for the series 7 saturated glow-y bands.

Ok this is tempting me to get it. Debating between this or waiting for the summer colors, although that super light blue can’t beat capri..

I’d say go for it and buy the Capri! It’s still available and you can always return/exchange it within 14 days. It has that really great ‘glow’ to it, even in dimmer settings

Damn too good to be true! Wow that band looks terrible. I would definitely state the fact that it’s fake. As long as it’s returnable it shouldn’t matter what your reason is.

Just managed to return it in store. And im glad i didnt tell them it was fake. They were proper fussy to the point where they wanted me to explain in detail why im returning it. Then they booked the Loop and advised me to comeback in 10 minutes as they are going to request pictures from the store it was shipped from. Finally after checking they refunded me. Im going to drop their CS an email or a line on twitter to tell them that item which was sold to me was fake. I hope this will stop them for selling the item on to someone else.

This is twice now in 2-3 weeks ive been fooled lol. First on ebay (sold as new bit was in terrible condition) and now this lol.

Loving the Obsidian Mist in Sunshine.

Real shame how beautiful band some bands are (like your Midnight) close up but then just boring or even ugly from one meter away. Was looking for cheap original black sport loop for some time but then realized it probably just looks like brown tinted black with real life distances.

Another fresh arrival, my new formal band, Anchor Gray Sport Loop. And yes, I can hear all of you dress code people screaming at me.

Having just said I don't like silver on my arm, I enjoy this band surprisingly much. The combination and black, gray and silver works nicely.

Hi, can someone tell me if the old woven nylon bands are the exact same length as the old classic buckle lineup? Since the design looks the same...I'm thinking about getting my first woven nylon band for the summer, but I have a very tiny wrist to the point that the Classic Buckle is too long, almost doubling my wrist...and I need to know if I'd have the same problem with the woven nylon. TIA!

I totally agree. Anchor Gray isn’t an “exciting” band for many people but I actually really enjoy it’s subtle elegance.

I’m a woman and every release I pray for feminine colors and nothing. Barely ever. Blue, orange, green. Blah.
I got my Series 6 in gold with Pink Sand band. This is as feminine as can be. Then I got Cantaloupe band recently. It's lovely, but I'm hoping for more. I, too, feel Apple band colors are more tailored for males. Even the super vibrant colors seem to look better on guys.
