Received the braided loop today and luckily it not only fits nicely (thank god I went a size down to 7) but also looks great 😊
Got a tip for us?

Electric Orange Braided Solo Loop with the Titanium did not disappoint
Arrived late today so please excuse the poor lighting. Rose Red Sport Band x S5 Natural Titanium
Is that 40mm or 44 mm?Not the best lighting, but a few new bands I’ve picked up recently for my Nike Series 6. The Obsidian Mist/Black is the only one I paid full price for from Apple (and I’m glad I did since they discontinued it). The Hasta/Light Silver was purchased using my Apple Card daily cash back that I’d accumulated.
Hasta/Light Silver
Obsidian Mist/Black
Desert Sand/Black
Royal Pulse/Black
Gray Nomad band (I absolutely love this one)
The Desert Sand and Royal Pulse were both bought new on eBay for half their original price.
Mallard Green and Titanium. LOVE this color.
I told myself I wasn’t picking up any bands this season. But, couldn’t resist Hasta after seeing real world pictures. Definitely a sleeper hit! akes me want to go for a hike!
Once again though, I am slightly annoyed by Apple’s refusal to allow Nike colors on the non-Nike watches. Cactus is a decent match.

I'm pretty sure it's not Apple but Nike that doesn't want that; after all, the colours and the watch faces are the only elements differentiating the Nike+ models from the regular aluminum models.
Yeah you are probably right. And, I completely understand when it comes to needing to keep the watch faces exclusive as a differentiator. But all the Nike bands (with a few early exceptions) have been sold separately to owners of any Apple Watch. It’s rather annoying to only get the matching colors on the watch faces if you have a Nike watch too. I know Hermès is similar, with the orange watch face color only available on the Hermès watches. But that is a bit different since there is no way to buy the Hermès sport band separately.
The good news is, since there have been almost 6 years of Apple Watch band releases, there are now so many colors available that is getting easier and easier to find a “close enough” match on a non-Nike watch.
You just made me spend $50. Thanks….. lol
You won't be disappointed haha it is even better in person
I added the new Tomales Blue Solo Loop to my 44mm Series 6 Nike a few days ago. It’s my first Solo Loop and I really love it, although I’m not sure how much I’ll wear it during the summer since it basically traps sweat underneath it. I usually wear the Nike Sport bands because the holes allow my wrist to breathe more.
I’d love to see Apple bring a Nike Solo Loop eventually with the holes. That would be my perfect everyday band.

I have a solo loop too and find it to be incredibly comfortable. Like you forget you’re wearing your watch comfortable, but it is a swear trap. Not sure if I’ll be wearing it much during the summer.I added the new Tomales Blue Solo Loop to my 44mm Series 6 Nike a few days ago.
