Good call, I wouldn't want my Space Black breaking. I can't find the thread, do you have a link or topic name?
I'm not sure how to link to other parts of the forum, but if you go up to the mac rumors search bar and search "Loctite" and all relevant topics will come up. Also, on Reddit there's some info on this.

I managed to finally get the red CB. I think it looks great with the gold Watch, and I am actually a fan of clashing metals. For some reason color combos that look weird together have always appealed to me.

Awesome. Thanks for that...I just went to the Apple Store and saw it under the glass. I see what you mean, it definitely had a darker/orangish tint to it. I have the old Marigold CB and was curious how this color compares-its nice, I might pick one up.

If you do, please post some comparison pictures! I have the marigold as well (it's great) and would like to see it side-by-side with the sunflower CB.

6 - 8 weeks lead time on this one! Insane. Was this one available right after WWDC? I don't recall the shipping time being so far out.

edit: Sapphire also has a lengthy shipping time. 3 - 4 weeks for that one.

So I went on to order the Sunflower CB today and it's already sold out! Bummer, maybe they weren't selling well? I'll keep my eye on it for the next few days to see if there's any change. Don't think I've yet seen a product like the bands sell out this fast after release.

You're right. The day of the keynote I failed to pull the trigger and a week later I went back and they were sold out. I'm hoping it's just temporary. Perhaps they didn't make a lot and were just trying to gauge the demand for it.

Probably just temporary. FWIW, over here (Germany) both sizes of the sunflower CB are still readily available.

I konw that feeling :) I had to hunt for the storm grey CB on ebay after it vanished from the Apple store …
This isn't the first time for me either, I've scoured eBay for the Marigold CB too. Isn't it the best feeling when you actually find it though? That's cool you got the SG, it's a great color.

UPDATE: managed to snag a Sunflower CB on bestbuy.com. They must have just added them, as I checked a day or 2 ago and didn't see anything. Anyway, good stuff:)

Yes, I like it a lot and it's one of the bands that you rarely see.

Congrats! Don't forget to post that comparison picture with the marigold and the sunflower! :)

P.S. Do you have the Taupe CB? It has quickly become my favourite :apple: WATCH band.

I'll post some photos on wednesday(expected delivery date!) and I do have the Taupe, It's one of my favorites as well. I love how it's color changes in various lighting.

My Sunflower CB came in today, very pleased with the color!! I tried to represent the colors the best I could, photos were taken outside of it vs the old marigold CB.

WOW … the sunflower looks super pretty and vibrant! Makes the marigold look quite subdued, dull even. I will very probably have to get the sunflower now, this is too good to ignore, I think.

Do you think you'll still find occasions to wear the marigold? I think I may sell it when I get the sunflower.

Thanks for the pictures, very much appreciated!

No problem, happy to do it! I think I'll hang on to the Marigold for the time being. I like having different shades of yellow although I agree with your comments about it appearing dull next to the Sunflower.
If you decide to order one soon, check out Best Buy. I couldn't find anyone else selling it. Cheers!
