I'd say that Smoke Gray looks a tiny bit darker than Stone but they do look quite similar.

This comprehensive webpage has images which help you compare.

I've found the page very useful as I'm buying a couple more leather loops since they're no longer going to make any new ones and the few currently on sale are the last available.

I think leather loop is a really smart watch band and very comfortable.

eBay might be your best option if you're trying to find a leather loop from a longtime ago.
Hey, great link. Really shows the differences of all of the bands.
Im not a fan of the new “links”, I find they become loose too easy.
I currently have leather loops gen1 black and diver blue. Just ordered saddle brown from sportchek in Canada. Also ordered the smoke gray and peacock this morning from eBay, new in package…. Should all look great on the S7 Ti with abyss braided solo that showed up 30 minutes ago. Longest I’ve ever waited for a watch to arrive…. Had the order done within 1 minute of the presale going live. Originally stated Oct 15 delivery. Was preparing to ship on Tuesday the 12th….. then on the 13th it changed back to processing order with delivery Oct 28-Nov 3. Wtf?! Lol
Also just received the Nomad Ti link bracelet (shame on apple for not giving me the option!) and the Pitaka carbon fibre link bracelet. I usually stick to first party bands, but I must say, these two are outstanding.
Now just need to find storm gray,white and cape cod blue leather loops without spending a small fortune and I’ll be happy……

Does this Saddle Brown link look right? eBay purchase that was in a box. Just looks off to me. Saddle brown 12 case and Golden brown case for reference

Does anyone have a side by side of midnight vs black leather links and any thoughts on which they prefer?
