I love my new RED watch! Nearly all my watch bands go great with it. Royal blue is really nice. My favorite is the SS Apple space black Milanese loop. This is my fifth AW. A nice change! Thanks to everyone for the band ideas.
Space Black Milanese Loop with S6 Product Red
I have this same combo. It’s my current favorite. I am anxious to be able to order the Product Red Solo Loops too, regular and braided. I was going to also get the Atlantic Blue Braided Solo Loop but I dropped my iPad Pro today and broke the keyboard so I have to buy another keyboard instead of the blue braided loop. 😞Space Black Milanese Loop with S6 Product Red
I bought an aw6 RED and the strap in the package is terrible, it doesn't hold well in the watch, so we bought a second watch and the strap is even worse. So I ordered the third strap separately and I will see the quality. I have never seen such poor quality of the original strap here
Weird. My packaged red Sport Band fastens well. Hopefully the third one works out for you.
Was the issue you had that there was a gap at the sides where the strap meets the watch and that the watch strap felt loose and not a snug fit? If so I had/have the same issue - I didn’t have the same issue when I attached an older watch band, that was a snug fit but did have the issue with the red band that came with the red S6. I took it back to the store and they swapped it out no problem for another red band but that had the same issue - they then checked a couple of the demo ones and they were similar so looked to be norm for some reason.
Mine is loose but it doesn’t feel like it won’t hold, just feels looser than previous ones and even other bands with this watch.
So, has anyone seen a Red Solo Loop or Red Braided Solo Loop in the stores yet?
I'd really like to swap out my (unopened) tomato-red Sport Band for some kind of solo loop, braided if possible. My local Apple Store said that my deadline for swapping my band is maybe another week.
If not that, I'll swap the Sport Band for the velcro Sport Loop. Anyone have any opinion on the velcro band? Thanks!

The Red Solo Loop and the Red Braided Solo Loop have not been released yet. If you try to buy one online it says “available in October” and not available in stores. No exact date is given when they will be ready to buy online or in person. No stated reason why the Red Loops are delayed.
Exactly as you write. The problem is only with the new strap, all the old ones are hold in the watch perfectly. I have already tried two silicon strap and today I will run out of the third piece, I am not willing to accept it for such money. The only difference between the original and the fake from china was the quality, but it is gone!!
I´ve bought the red watch with the red sport loop and used it for two weeks but it was not as good as expected. Then I changed to my old black sport loop and NOW it is like YES! Will never wear another band with it and this red watch is now under my top three devices I´ve ever owned - beside iPhone 5 black and the product red iPhone 8.
I was concerned that red would be too intrusive but not anymore.

I just ordered a (PRODUCT)RED S6 from Amazon, I should get it tomorrow (Feb 1, 2021).
I have ordered sport bands in different colors and a similar appearance to the Nike sport bands. When the sport bands arrive (2 different orders), I will post pictures.
I also think the new Unity band (red, black and green colors) will look really good with the (PRODUCT)RED watch.

I'm waiting on the post office to deliver my red watch. I am upgrading from a series 3 bought shortly after launch. I couldn't pass up a great deal I found on Swappa. Hopefully all goes well after receiving it, as the seller was a pain to deal with. Oops.
I got mine for Christmas. Went into the store with the blue one in mind. But when I tried on the red one it was love at first sight ❤️ I was surprised I ended up going for the red honestly. The color red in the case is deep and metallic. Like Iron Man’s armour. It’s my first AW so I don’t have many bands. It came with the Product RED Sport band and I quite like it. Later I ordered the Braided Solo Loop and it’s its perfect match. Just as deep as the watch. IMO it doesn’t look particularly flashy. For a red accesory it’s quite subdued. I loved the RED. It’s pretty spectacular

No joy - Amazon just sent me an email telling me they can't deliver the (PRODUCT)RED AW 6 I ordered from them. I will still get an Apple Watch (6 or SE), but likely not a red one.
