You mean Succulent? 😁
But I really wonder what this color looks like. It's rather grey and the undertones unclear.

Only from the current collection or do you mean in general?
Only from the current collection, as I always just buy from Apple Store directly.

But I'd like to get your "in general" opinion as well. I was thinking Beryl is pretty, and I don't have a green.

Seafoam looks very pretty in stock photos. Yes, I think I'll look into it and pass on Succulent this year. Thank you!
I think Seafoam is what you're looking for. Note : there are wild fires here so there is some yellow tint/dullness that the band does not have under normal conditions.

Seafoam left, Sky Blue right. The most pastel green imho.

I don’t know if it’s because it was a summer band or just too subtle in hero shot and concept (mallard too?) but Seafoam is under-loved. Tons of glow

So after owning my AW SS S7 for only 10 months, I already have something called „just one more banditis“.
This is my collection so far. I have 3 bands for festive occasions (Fauve, Milanaise & Leather Link) and the rest for sport & everyday wear. I feel like the Trail Loop will make a nice addition.

As some of you have much, much more bands or just different ones than me - what bands can you recommend, that in hindsight were excellent purchases and stand out of your collection?

Greetings from Austria

Welcome to the party! One place I can send you without reservation is the first few years: Orange sport band, Blue sport band (second generation), red sport band (first generation), yellow sport band—all of these are guaranteed to delight.

Yellow/red/orange deliver a Capri-like saturation and brightness that can be hard to come by more recently. Though nothing actually matches Capri’s transcendent glow and richness.

Chargerstore on eBay (unpaid endorsement) can help you find old OEM bands from whatever country you’re in (except Russia and Ukraine).

It’s somewhat blue in person but that’s fine. It’ll fit in nicely next to your yellow and blue. Zest and Blue Fog?
Yes. Good eye. That is indeed Lemon Zest and Blue Fog.

Turns out my most used two are actually Blue Fog and Cantaloupe. Lemon Zest and English Lavender are least used. Don't know why.

Both of these I like quite a lot. I just adore very pale colors, not too much grey like the current collection.

I need to wear cantaloupe more. I always choose marigold instead, my other 40mm solo loop. Guess I have tomorrow’s GSS7 debut!

Show E Lav some love, I command it

Will do. English Lavender is just a tad dark for my taste, especially next to Blue Fog. But I will try now that we're in fall.

Cantaloupe will look so awesome with your white ceramic AW. I understand why Ultra is introduced this year, and Nike collaboration ended, but why can't Apple bring back ceramic? This is the material that makes all colored bands look incredible.
 
My Elderberry case showed up yesterday. It definitely is very closely related to Dark Cherry but DC is a bit brighter in most lights but in some - especially indirect - they’re basically indiscernible. Elderberry eats more light though for sure.
