The Leather Loop is no more, officially gone now, RIP.

Modern Buckle still available and of course Leather Link is available in several new colours

I’m so sad about the leather loop! Nooooo

Also how do you guys feel about them putting the Nike logo on the sport loops now?

Not a fan. I only want one band this release which is great for my wallet.

Are the new braided solo loops still Apple exclusive? I don't see the disclaimer anymore, at least on Apple.it :oops:
 
I'm so excited 🤩

I'm not a fan of Nike logo, either.

Ordered English Lavender, Dark Cherry and Marigold Sport Bands, arriving on Friday.

It's interesting that they recycled the name "Marigold". My first watch came with Marigold Modern Buckle band.
 
I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy anymore bands for a while! The Nike bands always get me! Magic Ember is a must have! I need to see what Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki and Midnight Navy/Mystic Navy look like besides stock photos before I pull the trigger!

Seeing the new Apple Watch 7 colors that are mentioned it seems the neutral Silver and Space Gray aluminum have been buried. I wonder how the new Midnight and Starlight will match the wide range of band colors available now and in the past. Midnight seems to have a deep dark blue finish and Starlight looks like a more yellowish silver. I’m kinda worried that matching will be more difficult without the neutral Silver and Space Gray. It seems that also the Nikes will come available in just Midnight and Starlight.

Has anyone figured out what colour Midnight is? Is it a very very dark blue or black? In the promo photos of the titanium series 7 watch, it looks black but in the wallet it looks blue…

It reminds me of the Charcoal braided loop, not technically blue but so light a black that it gives off navy vibes irl. The hero shot compares most closely to Coastal Gray for darkness, much lighter than Gray 2017. With SBSS long gone from the regular line-up it will prob make a nice pair with graphite. I wonder if the third-party seller Graphite will come with Midnight with graphite pin. If it’s replacing Black Gen 2, I imagine it has to be a grayscale band.

Man I would be all over a Dark Cherry Leather Loop. Just do not like the bumps on the Leather Link.

Oh, well. Dark Cherry Braided Loop it shall be.

Oh that’s pretty cool. I agree it would pair well with graphite. the midnight leather link looked pretty good. I have a black S6 aluminium. If it has too much of a blue hint, it may not look good with it. Will have to wait and see. Thanks for that explanation!
 
After we got few International bands with split runways it was quite obvious that the S7 sport loop style is going to be just that. And I quite like it.

Nike sport loops are… Different. Would it have killed them to give us a little color though?
 
Looks to me like the new Nike sport loops are not reflective. There is no mention of reflective nylon in the description on Apple’s website.
 
The Dark Cherry leather link looks stunning!! As long as it actually reads as purple/plum in person I know that will be my next order. I somehow missed that one earlier today lol.
It‘s the new Plum for sure, and Apple is all-in on Dark Cherry as well – Sport Band, Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop and Leather Link! 🤩 Plus half a Sport Loop. 😂
