I really like the Navy Blue one.

Not sure if I hate or love the orange accent color though. 🤔

They compliment each other; they are on direct opposite sides of the Pantone color wheel.

However, since the blue is Primary, nearly every secondary and tertiary color will work with it.

BL.
 
The colors they pick for the plastic (these days) at the end are horrible and have too much contrast. Not a fan.
 
His source is eBay member chargerstore.
Chargerstore does often have prototypes, yes, however these are ones he doesn't have yet. I think he might end up with one or two of the blues, but the green is in a friend's collection in China.
 
As an Apple Watch band tracking obsessive, I feel compelled to point out that I am pretty sure Eddy Cue was wearing the “Navy Blue” band in a photo of him that was printed in Golf Digest a few weeks ago (he owns a golf resort, who knew). Here’s an Apple News+ link. I spent a few minutes looking back at old Sport Loop bands to see what model it was and couldn’t match it to any existing band, so assumed he was wearing a pre-release version of a forthcoming band. Seems I was right!
"Apple Watch band tracking obsessive" is a title I can respect.

Not sure who these people are, so I don't know which one is Eddy, but the guy on the bottom is either wearing a Winter Blue sport loop or a knockoff. Looks to be Winter Blue to me, though.

These are both ugly and "Emerald" looks more like a slightly dirty grey than anything resembling Emerald green

I got some fake bands of this on eBay for 50 cents each and the are pretty good. Wanted cheap ones so I could sweat into them, I'll wear fake Milanese loop otherwise.
 
blue is the colour that apple uses during periods when it is apprehensive about upcoming sales.
the correlation to this is, the deeper the blue, the more worried apple is.

Good catch. I'm not a fan of these velcro Sport Loops (at least not at Apple prices) but I love that colour. I wonder if the same colour will make it to the Sport Band.
 
The blue one looks good. Wonder whether there will be a new colour for iPhone 15.
