Speaking of bands "consistency", I have a pretty small OEM bands collection (less than 20), and these are the SB I purchaised in 2021: Delft Blue, Mallard Green, Pollen and Spearmint.
I do have noticed that they feel very different from each other: Pollen and Spearmint are pretty soft, velvety, heavy on the wrist, while Delft and Mallard are light, stiff, not velvety to the touch. I don't know if that depends of the production year (Pollen is older, Mallard is the newest collection) or, more likely, to the "tone": lighter colours feels softer and overall nicer, that's the pattern I've noticed. The white SB I received with my silver SS S5 is soft and velvety as well.
I'd like to ask if someone else has noticed this, and if some of the new, darker bands (like deep navy) feels the same way compared to some of the new light shades (like cantaloupe).
I do prefer the feel of the light colours, and it's a shame because I really like the deep, darker shades too. They just don't feel just as nice on the wrist, I don't know why.

Yes! The bands changed in March of 2020. They are thinner, attract lint/dust, have black specks on many, many were hard to slide into the band and in the November 2020 release, the icky feel started. I returned the Cyprus Green and Ginger and I haven't bought any sport bands since. Too much money for me to buy totally inferior bands. Glad to see the new Nike sport bands are as nice as ever.

Congrats! Hopefully you got GBR before it sold out…
40mm privilege won the day. Did not suffer for waking up well past the launch time. They’re all still in stock, actually.

Didn’t really have the mental bandwidth to try to get some in 44mm. Anything with white black or yellow has to be 40mm for white/black/gold watch, anyway.

I’m pretty sure Apple is blocking the last two I need (Denmark and Aussie) being shipped to my address lol. Time for a very weird phone call to pops.

44mm FTW, at least in terms of rarity. 😜
 
Nah, just big watches. :) (Wishing for a size 3 44 mm braided loop)
Ok a friend grabbed me the last two. Went 44mm for Australia because why not. I have the old Aussie in 38mm. I guess from this day forward I can’t cast aspersions on hoarders among us. Although technically I’m still collecting. Granted I cannot give you a date when these will be worn or even leave the trifold.

Lol I’m the same way. I have a feeling the USA one will get worn by me for July 4th, so long as Apole’s shipping estimate remains unchanged.

How about some love for the Chalk Leather Link with my S6 Ti 44? Very comfortable once you get it on - the grabby magnets can make that tricky. Ha.

I would say go to Chargerstore to save money but once you start you’ll end up spending way more than the $150 of that listing.

$149.99?? I got lucky and got my OG Green for like $12 in amazing condition a couple of months ago.
 
PSA: some of us might want to download all the watch faces from the Apple Watch landing page now if you don’t wanna clutter up your watch with multiples

Edit: to iCloud or Dropbox and not the watch app

Edit 2: they all carry the same file name so rename upon download or eventually they will overwrite each other, at least in iCloud Drive
