Does anyone know. Are all the international bands the SAME length? I’ve just realized that the bands I have are all M, and online it just shows one siZe. Is that the case that they are all the same size in length?

Yes, all loops come in one size. Some loops from earlier seasons might be a bit shorter or longer than the current ones, but all of the International ones are the same one size. The sport bands are labeled either S/M or M/L, so not sure which ones you have, either way you should have no problem with the loops.

There probably needs to be a setting on the apple watch activity app for when you can run faster than most bicycles or electric scooters up to nearly the speed of any US school zone (25 mph).. isn't that worth SOME extra credit? I wonder if anyone has ever tried to measure just how many kcal these 100m runners burn getting up to nearly 25mph with 5 seconds?
 
I think the markings on the bands, while good font and pitch, being UPSIDE down might be a give away.
🤨 They’re not upside down. They are the wrong color, but other than that they are identical to the real ones.

My bad.. I figured the 42mm logo being upside down to the S/M logo was non standard. I guess they are all that way, maybe even the fakes

I’m not following. They aren’t upside down. They are printed so that when they are attached to the watch, both tags can be read.

Well, tehcnically they are printed so that when they are NOT attached to the watch and layed out connected but viewed say on a table, both sides read right side up.
 
Inspired by "Summer Lovin," I'm increasingly thinking that we will get the Summer 2021 release either this week or next. Apple has so determinedly set the release and sale of the International Collection (and its display) to the Olympics that I can't imagine that we won't see them pull that series once the flame is extinguished in Tokyo. What more perfect replacement for its disappearance than the Summer 2021 series to carry us through to AW7? This timing might also offer an explanation as to how the expected schedule got so disrupted by the Olympic program that ordinarily wouldn't be there. At least half of the International collection is out of stock on the US website, so I can't imagine keeping that focus much past the Closing Ceremony. Am I just thinking crazy thoughts after seeing that Cloud Blue and Electric Orange? ;)

Coastal Gray looks like the odd guy in a suit that stumbled into a beach party lol.

Disclaimer: I love Coastal Gray.
In doing this I got to wondering, is it the reason there were only two Nike sport bands last spring? They realized they hadn’t done a neutral in forever and Coastal took the place of a muted black-accented Nike?

Aren‘t Nike colours something completely else as they need to match other Nike gear? I would assume that Nike more or less decides themselves which band colours they want and don‘t necessarily coordinate with whoever decides which colours Apple bands get.
 
Picked up a well used, gold/stainless Milanese band on eBay.
Diggin it!

I just want a remotely girly saturated or brighter pink or purple. Not the 65th shade of blue. That is all. Is that too much to ask?

The Nike bands are certainly “lead colors” that that company decides are fetch but I always imagined Apple figuring out their band colors first and then choosing from among Nike’s favorites for the seasons surrounding the band launch, just from the general principle of Apple controlling everything.

And anyway this is more of a numbers question. Definitely not a thought I would have had until the Nike sport loops disappeared from the April 20 drop of this year and were possibly crowded out by the International bands and/or the pride bands (applies to the 2020 Nike pride as well, I guess).
