I hope you’re right about emerald. A bright true green would be magically delicious. 🍀 Although I would also like the pale pink.
Got a tip for us?

My new Mallard Green, which I selected today because it matched my dress! S6 44 Ti
Some nice gems made there way through the US/CAN border today...
Noir/Bleu Saphir Jumping Single Tour
Royal Pulse / Black Sport Band
Flash Light Sport Loop (vs Flash Sport Loop)
And a bonus appearance: Papaya Sport Loop
Note: The sky is a little gray due to wildfire smoke (in the distant north, knock on wood).

Yep this is what I’m going by. Just assuming Apple would never use the name Leprechaun haha. Especially if the “Irish double” tax loophole is well and truly closed.
I would say Mykonos/Aegean = Capri. Rhodonite = Deep Navy. Spring Lake = Northern Blue. And hopefully the rest are coming during the s7 cycle! It’s hard to imagine them dropping a fall yellow that isn’t the bright/primary/fully saturated “illuminating.” They’ve never combined saturation with brightness in a yellow. Even Canary falls short of this yellow. Basically 75% of the way to Flash saturation, with no green. Wild they appear to be leaving ginger as the only s6 sport band/solo loop (I don’t see more sunflower coming, maaaaybe a similar mango during s7).
I'm not particular to the Red Watch but I recently saw a picture of a Red with a charcoal band and that looked really awesome.

Should track down a Light Pink sport band for yourself - very similar! Basically cotton candy pink
Meanwhile, here’s Saphir on day 1! Eerily smooth feel to the surface. Something I haven’t seen anyone point out to date: the buckle (and all other) hardware is extremely free/prone to flop about (when not being worn) since it doesn’t have the friction / squeeze of leather around it.
The second picture shows the buckle’s slight ability to press at the wrist. I don’t feel it, but I can see how it “could” irritate one’s wrist — but that would require a particularly tight fit and/or an exerted downward pressure against a hard surface, I expect.

I only wear the Nike bands and Nylon sport loops during the summer for this reason. The regular bands aren’t breathable at all.
So with so many countries to pick from what band looks the best?
I am tempted by so many but I can only get two. I am in the UK but the UK one doesn’t appeal to me.
Netherlands , Australia, New Zealand and Greece all look amazing but got to narrow it down.

Very nice! I am glad this band does not come with silver hardware. I would have been tempted for sure!Should track down a Light Pink sport band for yourself - very similar! Basically cotton candy pink

It’s all about personal taste (and possibly your favorite countries). I will say, if you wear a 44 mm and Netherlands and New Zealand are still available for sale in UK, you should jump on them if you want them. Both are sold out here in the US (and New Zealand has been that way almost since these bands were first announced). Australia 44 mm also sold out in the US overnight so it might be the next to go.
If you are looking for other people’s opinions…my favorites from the set are Germany, Greece, New Zealand, and USA. I also really like Italy and Brazil, though both are such bright colors that I am not sure I would ever wear them.
Working out with the Spearmint SB is so satisfying! (I know, I'm out of shape)
I think it sold out a week or more ago for us U.K. folk. It was second to go after Japan 😫
USA has really grown on my now that I have it. I still have GBR coming but not sure if I will keep it or not. Both USA and GBR are really nice red, white, blue designs. Just not sure I need both. 😁

We shall see the final outcome!
Im hoping Apple will honour my order. Still showing on course for delivery next month. Order was placed on 5th July.
I am pretty confident orders that were already placed successfully will be honored. Just waiting patiently for August to get here!
I am in love with my new Northern Blue SB! The color is just saturated enough for my taste. Although, I am rocking a Lemon Cream watch face in anticipation of the mail delivery which <should> have a Lemon Cream SB. What fun!
Any guesses on what is causing the distortion in the first pic??? Shot on my 8+ with a normal overhead light.

Some newcomers therefore a new photo of the 42/44s. I hope there will be new colors for the sport bands and Nike bands in autumn and not just loops again 🙈
They are reading glasses from readers.com. It looks like the name is Beatrix 962. Not very expensive, and kind of light-weight, but I like the style.
Thanks for noticing, Sal09!
man, those Nike bands are some of the best.
It's rare, but the Light Pink sport band is similar to that light pink on the Pantone chart.
