44mm Red Series 6 GPS; White Solo Loop (size 9). Quite a striking combo on the wrist, although the new white is not as bright as the original.

Is that the deep navy blue sport band? I just ordered an AW6 SS with deep navy blue sport band for pick up. Is it shiny under bright lights or under the sun? Might have to switch it to black to play safe. I do have the option to change it though once I'm at the curb side pick at Apple. Trying to look for the midnight blue sport band from 2 years ago or so... more of like a dark matte blue color.

The below was taken just now in bright overcast on an 11 Pro Max with no retouching. Deep Navy looks darker in less strong light, but this is how it compares with the original Midnight Blue and the reboot in 2018. The original MB has had a fair bit of wear and a little sheen because of that, and the other two have never been worn.

I have the space gray aluminum watch with cypress green band, but also purchased a deep navy sport band. It is very dark and not shiny - very nice looking.

Thanks for the pics! I like the midnight blue better than the deep navy blue but that's just me. I think the deep navy blue is a little bit shiny. Makes the watch look like a kids plastic watch lol!

Oh man, I guess I will have to wait & see it myself on Friday upon pick up at the Apple store.
