My Nike band arrived a day early too. (Should have had some of the new nylon bands too, but the deliver driver managed to deliver it to an unidentified neighbour... :rolleyes:)

Anthracite/Black looks great - better than the previous black and grey in my opinion!

Can you post pics of that strap? Would like to see how it compares to the Plat/White.
I only have the original Flat Silver/White - I don't have the new Pure Platinum/White to compare to.

EDIT: Or did you just want to see the original? Images were attached above but here they are again:

Thanks, didn't see the previous pics.

I actually think I prefer that to the platinum/white. More contrast. Looks great on your ceramic.

That Anthracite/Black Nike strap sure looks tempting...please someone say something BAD about these bands!!

How do these bands compare to Apple White Sport band in terms of thickness, suppleness, and feel?

Too late for me....came across this thread, have been thinking about the Anthracite/Black Nike strap since I don't really like the White Sport that came with my SS. Need something for wetness, right? $53 down with a Monday delivery. Thanks everyone!

Here is an unboxing video of the grey/black Nike+ band (and the Berry Nylon band). It's in German but for a first IRL look it should do:

I received a message overnight that my order was shipped and instead of Monday, it's now tomorrow, Friday. Departing from Middletown, PA. Given what we've seen here, I wouldn't pay the $ for expedited delivery.

Got mine shipped "next-day", but since I live in New Zealand, "next-day" really meant two days, haha.

This band is extremely comfortable and breathable. Might be the most comfortable band I've worn yet. I can't wait to work out with it.

FYI, "anthracite" is apparently Apple-speak for "really dark grey". The band is only truly black on the inner surface; the outer surface is a nice matte grey that's a really great colour match for the space grey finish on the Watch itself.
