And just like that, another one on my list sigh.
Just got my Nike Desert Sand/Volt Loop yesterday. Here are some sunny morning shots. Another winner in my collection for sure!
Got a tip for us?

Beautiful! I want that one too.
Initially got the watch with the Black Nike sports loop, and even though it's so comfortable, I just thought it lacked a bit of "life". Just got this one in the mail!

Thanks, it is. You can only get it for the 40mm face. I ordered the watch/band combo from the Apple Store and had to wait about 12 days to receive it. It shipped directly from China.

Will do. I took these in sunlight so the color and texture would stand out a little better. The clasp is really neat. It’s magnetic, and it locks when it goes together. You press the buttons on the sides to release it. Really comfortable, too!

I actually thought of you when I posted it because of your new fondness for the loops! Another to the list? Nice!
Lol! Right now world indigo is high on my list because of your photos!I actually thought of you when I posted it because of your new fondness for the loops! Another to the list? Nice!
World Indigo is definitely one of my favorites! You will love it once you get it. I’m jealous of your Hyper Grape. I wish I could get my hands on that one but I feel like the opportunity is lost as I will not pay $100+ for it! Lol
I hope you find one soon. If I see one I will let you know. I’m trying to hold off buying new bands for a while so I can better enjoy the ones I have but hopefully the world indigo will be around when I’m ready to buy.
Looks great. Is that silver aluminum? The watch looks blueish, I guess reflecting the band a bit
Yes let me know! It’s not high on my list as I’ve just kind of accepted that I’ve missed that one.
I hear you though on trying to enjoy your bands. Luckily I don’t do sport bands and Nike sport bands so my collection is limited lol. I typically wear each one of my loops for 2 consecutive days to keep an even rotation and not neglect any of them. I rotate them throughout the week. I work in the fitness industry so the loops are awesome with my uniform. My weekend bands are the woven nylon bands, I just rotate those throughout each weekend so I’ll have one for the whole weekend and change to another the following weekend. I eventually want to get a black and saddle brown classic buckle for more formal times when needed.
Im currently at 11 bands and only have about 4-5 more I really want and that will complete my collection. Unless there’s a complete must have loop in future collections. I know the whole rotating schedule I have might sound funny but it’s the best way to enjoy all my bands and feel like I’m not choosing one over another too much. I don’t collect to have them all, I collect to wear them all and only buy if it makes sense to my style vs just to have another shade of blue and say that I have them all but don’t get me wrong I bow my hat to those! Lol
I think Hermes pushes the limit of how red and how saturated an orange I would accept on gold SS, but this dog hunts...
...who’s gonna tell him?
Hahaha I was just about to.

I have 24 bands in total - 1 Milanese loop, one modern buckle, four loops, 17 sport bands and 1 Nike sport band (the Pride edition). I also don’t collect every band possible - for some colours, if I have a representation (pollen for yellow and papaya for orange for example), that’s enough for me. For green and blue though, which are my fave colours I have a few shades. I like to change my band every day and even though it’s a small and inconsequential thing it brings me a lot of joy. Except when I get carried away with hunting for new bands which can consume too much of my attention (and money!)
I think it’s great that you have a good idea of what you want your collection to look like but as @mikedop was alluding to, that’s much easier said than done! 😂

Well luckily my interest is limited as mentioned I’m not into Sport Bands and Nike Sport Bands so that removes I would say quite a bit off my list. I enjoy looking at everyone’s else’s Sport Bands and Nike Sport Bands. They just don’t do it for me on my wrist. Oh let me make it clear that will not change LOL
Woven nylons -
Space Orange Woven -
on its way and I’m super excited [mention]Fhotofaerie [/mention] was kind enough to sell me her mint box on the way also (boxes are an important part of my collection as I feel it is a huge part of the collecting) all my bands have the box. It is important at least for me everyone is different of course.Tahoe/Navy Woven -
Black Woven -
Black Stripe Woven -
Two others I want are Tahoe Stripe and Midnight Blue Stripe and that literally gets my Woven craving done. I’ve looked at all others and they just don’t make sense for my style so I’m good
Sport loops aka my everydayers I literally only buy the Nike Loops I just prefer their style over the regular Apple ones only Apple one I have is the regular black. I’m very satisfied with my color range of my loops as well like mentioned before I will only add to my collection if future releases really pull me. (I would also gladly add that Hyper Grape we were talking about earlier hence another Nike Loop) but I’ve accepted the fact that won’t probably happen because I will not pay $100 for it.
Black classic buckle and saddle brown classic will cover my more formal ones as I’m not interested in the Milanese because I hate how if it rubs against the SS it’s a definite scratch plus too flashy for me, I prefer the look of a nice leather band for formal and I don’t need to collect different color leathers. Black and brown covers it for me.
So I just literally reiterated myself just for clarity of showing that I will not fall weak and give in like others might think! This was like therapy, I’ve completed unloaded
Haha yes you sound like a man with a plan and a very clear sense of what you want. I really admire that and should try to develop and stick to a plan myself. I think I’ve almost just become addicted to getting watch related mail. I’ve been working from home since March and watch band collecting has become something of a stress-relief/distraction.

I get caught up in all the colors I often forget how beautiful the basics are.
Vitamin C Sports Loop turned up yesterday. Really like it. Looks better in hand.
Hello from a new watch owner.
It’s my birthday next week and my lovely lady just surprised me with a 44mm S5 LTE and a yellow sport band.
I had been complaining about a lack of music when out running or cycling with my Garmin Vivoactive 3, as I don’t like trying to carry the extra weight of the XR in my shorts (it tends to bang about and get in the way).
I’m yet to take it out, though I am enjoying the extra functionality offered so far.

I’m like a little kid looking at all these bands. I love them!
I come here for a low-calorie, non-alcoholic treat!
