Does anyone know of a place selling the Cosmos Blue Leather Loop (medium) or the 2nd generation Product Red Sport Band (42mm)? I missed the red band when Best Buy put them on sale and now I can't find it anywhere.
 
Which gen is apples blackest sports band? The one that comes with the series 4 isn’t really black. More greyish black.
 
Smokey mauve sport loop arrived, now my smokey mauve duo is complete

I know we just got a new Yellow, but I wanted to say I think Pollen (from the Summer 2017 range) is severely underrated and is actually my favourite shade from the numerous yellow Sport Bands we have had, I’d love to see it return some day (but know the chances of that are next to zero!).

It’s a really soft, toned down, sunset yellow. Much like it’s leather counterpart, Sunflower, it looks quite generic and forgettable in Apple’s stock photos, but once you see it in real life in different lighting settings, it really pops out.

Just ordered a reduced to clear iPad Pro Pollen Smart Cover to match :)

While I completely agree that Pollen is the nicest light yellow sport band we got and is indeed both more subtle/subdued and at the same time richer than both the quite pale Lemonade and the slightly greenish Flash (and just very, very different from the new Mellow AKA White Chocolate), it is in real life nowhere near as orangey as in your picture and also quite a bit less orangey than the absolutely stunning Sunflower classic buckle (which is one of my personal top 3 favourite leather bands).

But other than that, yeah, everyone should have/get one :)

Yeah that’s the lighting (I think there may have been some ‘influential’ lighting overhead), this is more accurate -

As you say, it’s a rich colour, love wearing it.

Who knows maybe next summer Apple will bring back a yellow that’s close to Pollen (as eg, Blue Horizon is close to Blue Cobalt)

YES, that is very close to reality (in daylight) … and gorgeous!

Here are my yellows (left to right): Spring, Pollen, Original Yellow, Sunflower.

And here for good measure a comparison of the new Pacific Green with the closest other bands I have; it's too dark for my taste but I'll still keep it (for now) as all other dark greenish bands are more of a green-blue mixture so this is the only "pure" dark green we got … and beggars can't be choosers, right?

(left to right): Pacific, Dark Teal, Cosmos, Cobalt

Anyone have a picture of the Sport Loop and Sport Band in Hibiscus side by side? Don't feel like making the trek out to a store today... but if the actual color is similar I'm going to pull the trigger on the band.

Pacific Green on my SS, I think it goes very well with the SS.

The colour is quite unusual, as others have said it's fairly Blue, got a hint of Grey in there but in some lights (like bright daylight) the Green comes through. I really like it.

When I bought it I thought that it would look like my Ocean Blue but when I got home I could see that Ocean Blue is a lot Bluer (is that a word!?).

What watch Face is that? I have a space grey 4 and don’t see it in the gallery?
 
Can anyone recommend a brand of screwdriver to replace the lugs on the leather straps? I've tried three different ones off Amazon and none of them fit the screws well enough to actually unscrew them.

I use one of those little screw drivers that come with eyeglass kits and it works just fine.
