New to the “Apple Watch World” searching out a Saddle leather link and blue Nike sport band. I know the new boxes are white and in the past they were black. Does this look legit? Should this box be white or black? There’s a few listed on eBay used. Also how many shades of blue were made in the Nike?
Welcome to the world of band collecting! If you ask around, I think some might know of a cool club you should check out 👀

Yeah, Apple used to make all of their boxes white, even the Nike bands. Around the Series 4 redesign, though, they made them black, I can only assume to match better with the Nike branding. They recently switched it back to white, though, I assume just to save costs on packaging as white is cheaper to dye.

As far as blue nike bands, there's 6:

Celestial Teal/Black
Obsidian/Black
Midnight Navy/Mystic Navy
Blue Black/Bright Mango
Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue
Chlorine Blue/Green Glow

If you're looking for high quality photos of each of these, I'd refer to @athousandbands. He has uploaded a fair few pics here in this thread, but he also has his own separate museum full of pictures of pretty much every band out there.

You’re helping my brain accept Nike faces wrapped in something other than Aluminum. I do hold that black/X nike bands look best on SSS, but I can’t get them on Hermes so it’s tough sledding over here…

That’s exactly why I’d personally choose a regular SSS over Hermes SSS or just have them both!

I pray they never raise the five-watch limit. Also I just feel like there’s a casual-ness to Starlight Aluminum that would be lost with the Natural Ti as my workout watch.

Sometimes I just wanna be a little basic?

Just got this band today from the Apple Store online. I like it, however it’s a little tricky to get it to fit tight on my wrist. It’s a small/medium Leather Link. Edit: Sadly I just returned the band. Just takes too long to get the proper fit.

Looks great. Would love to see some more pics of peoples SS versions with various bands. I think the SS looks good with all colourful bands!
Old 3rd party wide leather band from 2015 (had it on my S0 AW SS), I have it on my S4 SS now. I would love to find a super wide steel band for the Ultra. All I see are super wide fabric straps.

I see your 2022 Umber Leather Link and my 2015 Link Bracelet said I don’t look at him that way anymore, but I wanted to prove to him and the world that is not true.
