🦘AUS - definitely noticeably better than the 12 Pro Max, I just can’t get any closer without it going to gd macro mode
No. I don’t even think it got wet the two weeks I had it.That's annoying. Did you happen to come into contact with any kind of grease or lotion that might have worked its way into the band?
My Clover SB just turned shiny in one spot after two weeks. Organising a return or a replacement.Clover 🍀 (and a few others) arrived today!
This color is really awesome. It can look brighter and shinier and also a bit more subdued. It's a deep, rich, generous green. This is what I would have liked Cyprus Green to be.
I love how soft and velvet-y this fall's sport bands are. They softly wrap your wrist like an embrace. The other good thing is that they are also way less prone to shine compared to the last two seasons' bands.
Now I kind of regret getting English Lavender as solo band.

That’s completely normal on dark bands. You can help mitigate by rubbing the band daily with a damp microfiber cloth.My Clover SB just turned shiny in one spot after two weeks. Organising a return or a replacement.
I got it today too and immediately is one of my favourites 😍Clover 🍀 (and a few others) arrived today!

Portrait Mode locks the cam to 1x or 3x, then turn depth of field off in edit. Color tones can get a bit odd but this is still the way I shoot my bands until Apple gets around to do that software fix.I just can’t get any closer without it going to gd macro mode
Dark cherry/Forest green SL, clearly my fav band of these season
Good choice 😋I love both of those colors (have the Dark Cherry Braided and the Forest Green Leather Loop) so I am really tempted to get this, as well.
EDIT - Ordered.![]()
Ahh very clever. I’ve been needing to dog food not-ProRAW for a bit just to really gauge just what that fancy format is really providing anyway and I don’t think I can force myself to work within the current limitations as a “fun” exercise for too long anyway.Portrait Mode locks the cam to 1x or 3x, then turn depth of field off in edit.

I think you should keep all of them. I like the cohesion of your collection.
Another round of thoughts:
English Lavender sport - kinda dull. I like the dullness of Pine but just not feeling this one as much. Maybe because there have been a million dull blues. Still just want Lilac.
Clover - The first true green but doesn't excite me. Although this is the case of many of the other "standard" colors (Red, any of the brighter blues, Yellow) for me personally. I'm guessing it'll be pretty popular though since it's been sorely lacking from the lineup for so long.
Dark Cherry sport - Like this one quite a bit but not as much as I like Plum. Lovely subtle color that should be great for winter.
Dark Cherry leather - More color and playfulness in this one than expected. More saturated than the sport band. Definitely better in person than the product shots.
Midnight leather - Basically black, slight blue hue. Personally like it more than black.
Golden Brown leather - Surprised me how not-brown this one is. Basically a burnt yellow. Darker than (I remember) Poppy but like Poppy (and, honestly, a lot of the links) it has a fairly artificial feel to it. Fresh out of the box it already has some light marks. Not for me, but this needs to be a sport band color ASAP.
Sequoia leather - Basically the Forest Green loop, maybe slightly lighter and/or more saturated (if I remember that one correctly). Like Dark Cherry, nice and subtle.
All in all, not sure I'm keeping any of these. Decent sale, I may pick some up but overall I think I'm only nabbing one (admittedly rather boring by comparison) band from this season -- Abyss solo.
My next purchase for sure! 🤩🌽View attachment 1842412Maize! I like this a lot!!!!

Mine arrived today and I think it is my favorite Sport Loop, period. Goes great with my SB SS S4.
It's the Candy Corn Sport Loop in. my head.Loving Maize/White Sport Loop a lot more than I thought I would.
