There’s also some speculation that the new Fall colors that released after the 7 announcement are slightly shorter than the previous bands to make up the 1mm difference between watch sizes.

Can confirm all my fall21 silicone loops appear to be shorter by usually 1mm.

Interesting! The clover (2021) and northern blue (2020) look the same length to me.

Below photo of clover (size 5), clover (size 4) and northern blue (size 4) for comparison.

I got the size 5 and it’s heaps more comfortable so I’d be returning the size 4s.

Oh yeah one of yours is s6…I guess mine have stretched a touch.

And I did get a seemingly mint Plum today and it’s the same as my Abyss Blue

I managed to nab the last of the few AW7 in the green today at my local Apple store! I originally had the AW6 silver in the 44mm. I went into the store, originally planning on purchasing the 45mm AW7 in the starlight color, but they didn't have any in stock and only had either the RED(product) or the Green AW7 in the 41mm size. I tried on the 45mm and the 41mm watch in the store today and I thought the 45mm watch looked a little too big on my wrist (attaching picture to compare my new 41mm in green vs 44mm AW6 in silver). I've always purchased the bigger watches (42/44mm watches) and I purchased the 41mm today! I got a little nervous at first whether or not the 41mm looked a little too small on my wrist — but then realized maybe the reason why I'm thinking that way is because I'm used to the bigger screen on my wrist for the past few years. But anyways, earlier I was sporting my new AW7 Green aluminum 41mm watch with my 44/45mm dark cherry solo braided loop band. Suprisingly, all of my 44/45mm braided solo loop bands fit perfectly fine on my 41mm watch. The band itself looks a little too thick, width-wise on my watch. I probably should have purchased one more 41mm band today but considering the fact that I did a impulse buy purchasing 4 braided solo loop bands a few weeks ago and now purchasing my new AW7 today, I'm going to keep all of my 44/45mm bands. I also want to be able to enjoy the new bands I just bought too! Currently I'm enjoying the green watch with the english lavender in the silicone band (not solo silicone) color combo. :)IMG_2349.jpgIMG_2391.jpg

Nice collection! Do you have different use cases or just wear any one as the mood strikes? And I guess you didn’t dig the Ti models! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

I usually have one SS model for dressing up and an aluminium for more casual/running. This year with stock shortages (and lockdown meaning closed Apple stores), I ordered what I could and ended up with all four (thanks to finding random stock for pickup)! The plan is to return one of each but who I am kidding! 😂

I love the Ceramic Edition watches but Ti is just too matte/plain for me.

Thank you for mentioning. This totally would explain why I had to return and to re-order some solo loops in the past few weeks. It's too unfortunate though, with the new bands I'm right in the middle between size 4 and 5. I now kept some bands in both sizes, the smaller for winter and the bigger for summer.

so you paid close to an extra grand just for a hermes face?

I'm quite sure I'm not the only one here who uses different bands for different occasions. Or is it forbidden to put a mundane silicone band on an Hermes watch? Sorry, if I didn't obey to the rules or don't match your view of the world. 🙄

Strange comment, first time here?

I’ll give him the benefit of doubt for a second.

I have had AW since 2015 and have had 4 SS model and one Alu….and now the Hermes.

I used to think nearly the same, but once I put on that Hermes band and looked at the faces I was sold. The Hermes is so much more than an AW ‘with extra faces’.

But I don’t know why I am trying to justify it lol on a forum.

But from what I've seen here I'm quite sure you wouldn't just throw rude comments at random members out of the blue.
