I’m guessing no new watch face colors in b1?
Although that watch face color isn't Blue horizon, it's Navy Blue

I’m imagining the new colors to appear in the beta by public release. Let me know how it is, if you go for it! Sadly won’t be participating in the betas this year.
 
There are the Tachymeter colors:
Navy Blue
Cream
Pale Pink
White
Clemetine
Khaki
Lemon Cream
Cerulean
Pomegranate
Pine Green

On the other faces there are 3 new colors:
Gold
Rose Gold
Yellow Gold
Do you have the gold watch? My s4 Gold SS has Gold at the very top. Thank you so much!

Can you change the top centre so that instead of the word TACHYMETER it shows the date? Bit of a shame to have the opportunity there but still have to use a corner complication for the date.

Pretty sure that’s just the gallery placeholder text for the actual speed being calculated once the face is being used.

Just signed up to AliExpress and ordered a standard leather strap and a Black Woven knock off. Will post pics when they arrive.
And just a cheap ‘leather’ strap. This is a lot nicer than I had imagined it would be. Gonna order a dark brown one from the same seller.

A Chinese knockoff bought and delivered for £1.98!

Strangely this feels the same as the OEM Apple sport bands (Fluoroelastomer) and not sticky like the cheap silicone versions. I’m curious as to how it wears over time but feels good so far

Really liking the black watches. Might have to go black over silver next time.

That band looks great. I’ve only had my watch a week and I’ve gone crazy on eBay and Amazon, I now have 5 new bands and I’ve spent less than £15! The quality on the ones I’ve picked up seem pretty good, although the red sport loop from eBay for less than £2 seems a bit stiff when trying to remove it from the watch.

I’m not affiliated in any way but URVOI Store on AliExpress have great quality sport loops and sport bands. Very good quality compared to others.

The neon yellow sport loop from the same seller doesn’t have the same issue, so it may just be a faulty connector on one end.
I’ll give them a message and see about a replacement, it was sent from the U.K. so I shouldn’t have too much of an issue replacing it. I only bought it to see if the colour matched my red XR and they look amazing next to each other.

No offense, but you can see that it looks and feels different than the OEM bands. Look at the lint/dust on that thing.

But I am admittedly an OEM band snob

No offence taken. I own 7 OEM bands and they all attract lint, especially my midnight blue and Product red and black. This band feels no different to the touch than the OEM bands and notice I mentioned it’s not sticky like the cheap silicone bands and I have no idea what this is made from. I’m wearing it for a few weeks to see how durable it is compared to my preferred OEM versions. Do be fooled by the image by thinking it looks different just because there is some dust on it.

The above is OEM and has lint on it.
