Hi Everyone, new user here 👋

I just got my first ever Apple Watch on Thursday and have been going through this thread for inspiration.

Thought I’d show off my watch as well, 41 mm starlight with dark cherry braided solo loop. I love it, except that the band is a tad tight. I hope it will stretch a little bit although I’ve read that the 2021 version of the braided loops may not stretch as much as the previous generation…
The starlight is such a beautiful colour, I keep staring at it 🙂🙃

On my wishlist so far is a product red braided solo loop and maybe a starlight solo loop. I would also really like a sport loop and am keeping my eyes open for second hand ones but am having trouble imagining which colour sport loop would look good with the starlight watch… any ideas?

One of the most beautiful bands this year. And in combination with silver, the color looks even better.

[mention]athousandbands [/mention] are Olive Grey/Cargo Khaki and Spruce Fog/Vintage pretty similar? Asking you or anyone else who might be able to make that comparison. Also if you have Olive Grey/Cargo Khaki would it satisfy not having SF/VL. They seem to look pretty familiar. Thanks for any feedback!

You must have missed ”Tim goes to space” 😉

I would say OG/CK and SF/VL is a home kit/away kit situation. If you have Spruce, I wouldn’t rush to get Olive. At least so far it hasn’t really won a place in my heart to where I think about it when it’s not on my wrist. But when I do have it on, the green in the Cargo can really hit when some light shines on it.

I remember all the planets!
Thanks for the photo, I have OG/CK and from that photo it definitely satisfies next to SF/VL as I lean towards darker hues. Appreciate the feedback!
 
Was wondering if anyone has a Sunflower Classic Buckle and a California Poppy Leather Link? Both are warmer yellows and so I wanted to see if there's much difference in colour? Thank you!
 
I can't justify the high prices of the Apple bands when Third Parties are just about as good and at a fraction of the cost. I would rather buy knockoffs of all the bands instead of buying just one or two Apple-made bands.

However, there is a lot of room for improvement here. I wish Apple was churning out new types of bands. They had some really good ideas.
I have added plus the third party have more options rather than more colours which no one wears particularly... I would say buy premium third party bands to case it.

I sold Poppy long ago but it was/is much more orange than Sunflower.
