Here's what the velcro strips look like on the new Sport Loop. This is the black, which looks more like a really dark brown to me. In the light you can see it's made up of a bunch of colors. The camera picked the colors up more than one actually sees. It's also darker than the photo makes it appear.

Worn it a couple days. It replaced a woven band and a leather loop. I really liked the woven band, but sometimes one notch would feel too tight and the next too loose. This one is more like the leather loop with the "just right" adjustment. Plus it's lighter and less expensive than the leather.

Looks amazing - now looking even more forward to getting mine - hopefully Tuesday!

Thanks for these photos. It does look good on the silver aluminium. Wonder if it will be good on the gold version.

Black goes with almost everything in my book. Sure it will look good - the yellow/orange one might be a good choice as well for you

The 42mm White Strip Woven will look so sweet with my white Ceramic when it arrives
[doublepost=1505592265][/doublepost]Just pulled the trigger on the 42mm Midnight Blue Stripe Woven Nylon :)

I thought the same for my white ceramic with the white nylon stipe. Tempted on the blue stripe too. Ugh I've spent enough money already haha

I have the olive loop waiting for pickup and will get it on Friday along with my new watch. My series 0 came with the Milanese Loop which I like because it can be infinitely adjusted, but it's mostly a more formal band for me.

I have the same problems as many of you regarding one notch being slightly too tight and the next too loose.

I have a lot of sport bands but they're not great in hot weather. The sport loop has just about everything I want.

I still don't know if I'll order the black one even after seeing these pictures. Hopefully they'll be on display in the store's watch table this Friday.

Slightly off topic but I noticed the Modern Buckle price is now $149, down from $249. Makes sense since it seems to be the least popular band, you can still find tons of leftover sealed S0 watches with it on ebay and retailers that are trying to get rid of them.

I've ordered all 6 new Sport bands and I have already received two of them. These show longer shipping times than the other 4, so I was lucky to get them so quickly. Ultra Violet looks awesome and bold and Dark Olive matched an olive oil bottle I was using yesterday during a recipe...

I love the detail about how it matches your cooking oil. Apple is getting it right!!

Lets see some pictures! Just saw a german video of the black and olive sports loop (didn't understand anything he said) and glad I went with the black (here tomorrow) but the Olive looks awesome as well

Got my black Sport Loop today and it's definitely my favourite style. I'm between holes on the Sport and Nylon bands I have so my Watch can sometimes be a bit floppy on my wrist, but I love that the Sport Loop has exact sizing at non-leather/steel band pricing.

I'm hoping that they eventually release the red and black Nike Loop at some stage as I like my bands to have a bit of colour and the Nike Loop was the only one that really appeals to me.

I returned my midnight blue... All I could see while looking at it was the pale white Velcro loops. The colors only came through when it was held a few feet away.

It seems the black looks and blends much better.

Look at this video for reference... Not mine... But I still only see pale white loops.

Seashell Sport Loop. Doesn’t look bad, but feels thicker than expected.
Feels like Woven Nylon and Milanese Loop combined. As there’s small Velcro hoops in silver color, I guess all these bands are gonna look paler than the pictures on Apple’s website.

Talk about perspective. For some reason your clock face plus that angle makes it seem as though that watch is HUGEEEE on you.

I do have a pretty small wrist (about only 135mm)... that's a 38mm watch already :(
For your reference, I have to use the third hole on the Classic Buckle band...

It looks like this on the charger. Wish I could have a larger wrist. ;)

I don’t think it looks particularly huge on your wrist - the band looks stunning though - really pops

Do you still have the URL? A quick search didn't turn it up and I haven't found any pictures of it outside of the Apple site yet.
