Northern blue. Still my favourite. Can't wait to see new colours for spring though. :)

My wife got this loop with her S4 and I have been silently jealous ever since. It’s close enough to spruce fog that I’ve never bought one though. Great shots as always!

Thank you! It’s definitely a nice one and I do have to say owning Spruce Fog as well that they both give different looks even though they do have the same base color and for $20 new in box, I just couldn’t pass it up as it was on my wish list lol
 
Just get it while you can! Watch cases (and colours) come and go, but Plum is an all-time top ten hall-of-fame strap that looks great with anything.
Around how long will it still be avaliable or is it random? If its soon might have to go get one this weekend 😆

Usually when new seasonal bands get released the old ones are retired. Spring bands could hit any day now ... but probably at the event which was supposedly delayed until April.

Historically, the spring bands are released last week of March and bands from the previous fall and winter are retired at that time. Last year was the exception, with fall/winter bands continuing to be sold after the spring bands were released. Whether that was just Apple clearing out old retail stock stranded when COVID closed all the stores in early March or a new strategy for selling some bands year round, only Apple can say.

Bottom line: if it’s a color you really want, buy it now. It may not be available as early as next week. As others have said, Plum is a beautiful shade and one of my all time favorites.

👆This is severely understated and the ultimate advice. I can’t count how many times Apple/Hermès released a super nice and popular band that I instantly loved, only to not buy it because it cost X amount of dollars and the wife would get pissed off. Fast forward 12 to 18 months later, the band I wanted is now only available on Ebay, the price has doubled, and I’m begging the wife like a fool to spend even more money to get it.

The more popular the band is, the more expensive it gets with time.
