Hmm, looks less of a navy-type color than it does in the photos. Might have to see this one in person but I really want to get one of these braided bands just for the comfort factor.
Got a tip for us?

It’s all subjective but Clover just looks like a more saturated green. That’s about it. Pine green at least has its sand green vibe going.
Reminds me when everyone gushed over Capri blue like it was the best thing ever because it was so saturated. There’s more interesting blues though.
Threw this up the other night…marigold is less saturated, less warm than kumquat (left). Cantaloupe on the right, which feels similar in hue to Marigold (middle). I’m glad kumquat and marigold are different sizes.

Some of us are tired of the same boring, muted shades over and over again. It’s rather UNinteresting to have yet another muted blue or green.
holy.. maize and gold 🥰 and again.. (*hitting the buy button*)... im so weak.

I agree. They’re all mostly muted. Even the Nikes are drab compared to past Fall seasons.
I like the unmuted ones like Maize braided and Magic Ember Nike, but this one just seems out of place for fall, like it would be a better summer band (apologies to fans of the half-stripe..it‘s actually not a bad combo of colors, but the half-and-half bugs me.)

I don't like the half-and-half design, either. This is the first entire set of Apple Sport Loops I haven't liked. Unfortunately, I don't like this year's Nike bands either, so this is a no Sport Loop year for me.
Clover in reality is the color Cyprus Green was pretending to be in the official Apple images last year. Thanks for sharing these pics.
Oops. I ordered both the English Lavender and the Marigold sport bands. Reason is I just couldn't decide between the two and it gave me a headache. Will do reveals when I receive them. 
Anyone’s Clover SB has already gone “shiny”? I got both Clover SB and English Lavender SB and it’s only been like a week and the Clover SB is already showing wear? Light use of both, they’ve only been out for like two weeks. The English Lavender SB looks fine.
Thinking it might be a quality control issue. I don’t recall doing anything different with this SB than with any of my other SBs. It’s my first SB with this problem, like some sort of coating is peeled off.
Hard to capture without a flash; this is taken with a flash.

That looks like the UV coating is coming off. I had that happen to a Nike band last year, and they replaced it for me. Definitely return it!
Good decision ☺️Oops. I ordered both the English Lavender and the Marigold sport bands. Reason is I just couldn't decide between the two and it gave me a headache. Will do reveals when I receive them.
Thanks. I’ll try and get it replaced, just a bit tricky cause we’re in lockdown and they are only open for pickup orders so I can’t walk in to return.
Has anyone compared the new Olive Gray/Cargo Khaki Nike Sport Band to Spruce Fog/Vintage Lichen, yet?
I‘m utterly curious as to how similar those two look…

What are you guys doing for the watch color picker on Watch OS8? Are you just checking all of the colors? I didn’t realize that it’s broken down by release year now and picking a color is not as easy as before.
It’s the worst. I have been enabling colors I own and a few others that are nice complimentary accent colors. But I either have to guess and then check on the main screen to see if I got the right color or use Bandbreite to find the release season for the color I’m looking for. Horrible user experience either way.
I’m really not sure what Apple was thinking when they redesigned the color picker like this. Only the most die hard bandaholics (I count myself in that group) know/keep track of what season their bands came from. If I find this UX to be bad, how must the average Apple Watch user be feeling about it? I just don’t understand the logic behind this change.
