Yeah these are intended to live on your phone in your files app for quick access to open with Watch.app when you have that specific band on, to be deleted again if you have too many Olympic bands to keep them all saved on your watch.

Tried again and sorted it. I’d downloaded them to my dropbox and tried opening them via the Dropbox app that did nothing but navigated to them via the Files app and that opened them in the watch app to be used. Ta!

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.

I noticed the same thing... some bands are so soft to the touch (like you perfectly said, velvety) while others are not... I also noticed that the bands wear differently based on the material (silicon composition and colour). That velvety feeling unfortunately goes away after a few weeks ... I wish it could hold forever. I also do not like how obvious is the wear on the dark silicon bands... getting that shine after a while that I do not like also getting a bit sticky. Come to think of it.... I guess my problem is the fact that I can't buy the silicon bands that I wear a lot because by the time the bands begin to show the wear and I would like to replace them... Apple does not manufacture them anymore.
 
I’m going with the patriotic look for the next week or so in preparation for the Fourth of July. Red 1 with Capri!

apple will not deliver on time this time either. Like Pride Band. at 1 p.m. it says the package has been sent. Now UPS says they don't even have the package and only a sticker was printed by Apple. It is now 10 p.m. in Germany

To celebrate the “Shipped” e-mails we’re all getting, I think I’m done collecting these given Chargie is selling them for much more now, so finally ready to give them their glory shoot (Italy is a prototype):

Very nice! I still think these woven nylons beat the pants off the new sport loop versions any day of the week. Shame they are so scarce!

They're here! And while I brush up on my photography skills...

I've seen speculation that Apple has been sitting on these for a year. That doesn't seem to be the case at all - mine are showing they were manufactured in June 2021.

I wonder if the demands of making 22 different sport loops are behind the relative lack of Nike ones at the moment?


edit: not the best start...
