Yes this is Celestial Teal. In Germany on eBay classifieds there are regularly some from normal to good prices. No comparison to the prices that are required on normal eBay or other platforms.

Oh wow that’s awesome! Congrats that’s literally my last “unicorn” band I’m looking for.
 
After endless troubleshooting and time sink waiting for my s3 to connect to Apple Fitness, it stopped working again and I gave up and took same day courier delivery on this puppy. Wish me luck on getting the Verizon rebate after being too impatient for the employee discount!

It’s just so stunning what this little drop of warmth does versus silver aluminum.

Other than the little window I had S1 rose gold, my first light aluminum of any stripe. But mostly exciting for all those Nike bands that don’t look quite right with SGA.

The full-bleed Nike Bounce face is so satisfying. Hopefully Hyper Pink and Psychic Purple are spring swoosh sport loops. But I’m guessing they’re just random cosmetics. Hyper Pink is a running collection color but not holding my breath.

And it’s my first big-screen Nike, so I have all the combinations you get with the gradient face (the windrunner jacket pie slice) from S4 to play with for the first time.
 
My small but happy sport band collection. I only have 4 sport bands. Marigold, Cantaloupe, English Lavender and Pink Sand.

Pink Sand used to be my favorite, looked fabulous with the Series 6 gold aluminum. But nowadays, I only wear Marigold and Lavender for some reason. Maybe more saturated colors look better with silver stainless steel?

Oh wait, I also have the Hermes Orange band now, but it's in the box untouched.

Four great colors ☺️ I will never understand why Apple removed Pink Sand from the program 🤷🏼‍♂️ Have you ever thought about Stone ? That would surely look good with it too.

I’m terrible at hunting down colors. I only buy from Apple online, so whatever is out and I like, I buy. Did think about Starlight, but I think I’m all set for now. 😊

Starlight is almost identical to Stone. You still have a little time to think about Starlight. It shouldn't go away on the store that quickly 😃

If she’s bored with pink sand, I think she’s going to be bored with starlight, too. Just the opinion of a fellow saturated color enthusiast. I never ever wear my Stone or Cocoa or Black or any of my grays. They don’t spark joy. :)
 
Although I’ll add— it’s different with gold— the neutrals often really set it off and make it look gorgeous. But with SS silver I never choose neutrals.

Starlight has way more character than Stone. I had both Stones (gen. 1 and gen. 2) and eventually sold both. I just got Starlight and will never sell it.

(Talking about the Solo Loop here, though. Solo Loop and Sport Band colours are not always identical, as we have learned.)

I don't like solo loops so I can't comment on the colors there. But I don't see a clearly noticeable difference between Stone and Starlight. Just a subtle shade. I think 99 out of 100 people on the street would say it's the same color. And I think the professionals here in the forum would have a hard time if you put the tape in front of them alone and they have no comparison or can look at the size. has way more character than Stone.

Quite possible, yes. But maybe just the right "subtle" color is missing 😄 I also like the brightly colored bands . But I often choose slightly muted colors in between. Especially with gray, for example, I have some bands that lay around more than they were worn. But then I found a gray that fit exactly and I was totally happy with it 😃 Even though I admit that it may be more difficult to find the right one with SS 😅

I just got Starlight too and I like the tone of it already. Haven’t worn it yet but can’t wait to see how it looks in the sunlight.

True … because they don’t care like we do.

I think I would master this „Pepsi challenge“, actually. I never really liked either Stone band on my silver Stainless Watches. Starlight instantly makes me smile. :)

Edit: I would like to see a comparison of Starlight Solo vs. Sport, though. But of course no-one is insane enough to buy identical (or maybe not-quite-identical-actually) colours in both version. All I can contribute to this question is that I had the Cyprus Green Sport band first and sent it back because it was just too damn dark but later gave the Cyprus Solo a chance because it looked a little bit lighter/greener in pictures … and to my eyes, it really turned out to be, so I kept it.

My starlight solo loop doesn’t fit my new starlight watch, and while I want to wait for a cheap solo in the bigger size, I may just go for a cheap-enough starlight SB if it appears…

As it is the default band for the eponymous alu Watch, there should be a flood of dirt cheap Starlight SBs soon enough, if not already …

I currently have a series 6 SS. Looking at getting the series 7. Love the new watch face with the numbers around the edge. I’m considering the Hermes SS. Does anyone know if the new watch face I like is available if I go with the Hermes watch?
