Series 7 blue 45 mm with knockoff Coastal Grey sport band.

I was worried blue would look too informal but I feel pretty happy with this combination as someone who prefers more boring colors

Well we knew there were three total based on how many he had. One was offered privately to @athousandbands and two were sold publicly on eBay. Apparently @thadoggfather bought one, and if I remember correctly, you have the third.

Still weirdly flattered and self-conscious that everyone ran with my Vine Green sobriquet. Now I’m wondering if my new Ivy concept isn’t more suitable.

My woven nylon buckles have gotten tons of use. I wish I could make myself like a sport loop - can’t get past having the bulkiness where it overlaps.

I don't know if it's Apple being stuck in some kind of complex where they think they're better than classic buckle designs, if it's the Hermes contract, or if it's just low sales, but I have a strong feeling we'll never see another Woven Nylon/Classic Buckle design again. The age of normal looking watch bands is done. That is, unless you want to spend $400 per band.

I find that the overlap on top is way better than bottom imo even though stock photos usually it on the bottom

@mikedop it wasn’t exorbitantly priced like some quick run seasonal Nike bands 3x list, so it didn’t hit me how rare it was then just was in awe of the color. Lots of the colors I see in this thread I’m seeing for the first time

…But now I’m less inclined to wear it ever knowing that it’s not ever remotely coming back around :/ which is already once every blue moon .. I feel similar about my Nike sport loop that’s third from left but it’s dark so wear is disguised and it was a Seasonal one


I would love to know why it never made the cut it even has the 38mm print on it and that stuff on the end of it. It’s the most awesome looking woven nylon I’ve seen. But I don’t know all that’s out there maybe there are cooler woven nylon colors that trump it?

And sad woven nylon got nixed all together.

Also curious what is your guys’ favorite color braided loop to date? I like the form factor but most of the colors I’ve seen so far are kind of bleak and uninspiring for the most part. Hope that changes

And lastly what’s the deal with midnight aurora nike? Just looked on eBay again and that one just caught my eye :D

Think I’ll end up having a few Nike sport band variants over time

Really sad I missed the clearance of the chlorine one @ Best Buy recently

Dang ! Didn’t know that was a thing either

Got some FOMO all of a sudden

Loving my abyss blue paired with my abyss blue but … dang !

Might have to set up an eBay alert on that one. But the odds of being in my size and NIB OR mint ..

It’s not on apple site anymore ? But it’s for the 41mm was that a seasonal one too?

Also do the bright color braided loops wear poorlY? The inside of my abyss blue already looks a little lighter and washed out from salt of my sweat I believe. The exterior so far still looks the same as out of the box

I have to be very careful with how many of those I buy since they’re twice all the other bands I pick up

I love my pride braided and also the 2nd gen red :)

The complexity of the pride one is enviable and does look pretty sweet, I hope we see more multi tones and maybe even Nike braided loops ! The possibilities!

Surprised we never saw like hand dipped sport band colors

I'm loving that gray band!! Can you share the link where you bought it?

Despite them saying the knock off/fake is Coastal Gray, it actually looks closer to Starlight to me. Maybe Stone.

41mm Starlight Sport Band Regular - Apple

www.apple.com

Though if you want cheap, Starlight is actually a really common color. You can find them open box and even sealed for like $20 on eBay.
