For those of you with large band collections, how do you store/display your bands? I am over 50 bands now and my case holds 40, so I'm overflowing and looking for a neat way to store large amounts of them while having them displayed nicely.

I use Muji acrylic boxes with five drawers. The depth is ideal for Watch Bands and the transparency makes it easy to find the right band/colour. https://www.muji.us/store/special-o...e/acrylic-storage/acrylic-case-5-drawers.html

I'd been on the fence about getting any of the new Nike bands, but with Celestial Teal/Black selling out on the Apple site, I ordered them from Nike. I should have some pics soon. I picked up the above with Olive Flak/Black, and & Smokey Mauve Loop so I had at least one reflective one.

This is my current **** show of a case I plan on building a case out of wood identical to this but wayyy bigger with room to grow!

I see no green in it. It is very pale yellow. It's a very nice color, but, looks nothing like the other photo. This is as close as I could get. Very difficult to photograph having a true picture. I also returned my "Pacific Green", as I saw no green in that either.

Wow you're not kidding it looks very different than the other photo. In your photo, that is definitely Pale Yellow. I'm going to have to think on that one.

What didn't you like about Pacific Green other than the lack of green?

Oh that's nice! I like the transparency.

It looks too black to me. It does not resemble the font, either, which is a nice color. In my opinion, Apple likes to mix color with black or gray, so, many of the colors are not true or bright. Maybe they think men don't want color. But, there lots of women who do. I have regretted some purchases that I didn't return, so, I decided I knew I would regret keeping it.
 
Enjoying the new Nike bands.

I noticed all the Nike Sport Bands that I have (Obsidian, Anthracite, Celestial Teal, Olive Flak) have the black metal instead of the typical shiny stainless except for Platinum/Black.

It's nice to have a reflective Nike Sport Loop now. I can see that saving some lives at night. ;)

Glad you are enjoying them, Olive Flack is another one I'm giving consideration to. Still on the hunt for Obsidian. Every time I see one the asking price is a bit much.

I agree, if a reflective band saves just one life it is worth making them.

I just bought an Obsidian myself, it’s a nice deep blue that I enjoy. Olive Flak looks great, as does Celestial Teal. Nike did well with their newest color options.

Yep, I kinda splurged for one, then the next day I saw it for $20 cheaper. Keep holding out! It is a really nice one tho.

Agreed. Having a Space Gray aluminum, I think all of the Nike bands with the black holes look good. I assume the same goes for the black stainless watch.

And it makes me wonder if Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue will look as good with the darker watch, since the holes aren't dark. That's why I skipped out on Smokey Mauve and Violet Dust/Plum Fog...

I have a Space Grey aluminum as well. Smokey Mauve looks good with it being a darker shade still. I’m not sure about Blue Gamma though, but I’ll probably have to wait a while to find out until I can get my hands on one.

In case you missed it.

"Like it did last year, Apple in February will host an internal activity challenge for its employees around the world, tasking them with closing all three Apple Watch Activity rings every day for the month. Those who complete this challenge will receive an exclusive Black Sport Loop, which has colored details."

Will be added to the chart within the next update.

I can’t wait to buy one!
 
I'm glad everyone loves those sport loops so much but I'm just a little disappointed the nylon bands seem to be done forever at this point.

I certainly hope not! While I learned to like the Sport Loops (after discovering that they look much better with the looping part on the top and not the bottom), the Woven Nylon bands are just way more elegant, especially with the thinner S4. Just today I got the Checked Midnight Blue from ebay and it‘s awesome.

But for now I‘m cautiously optimistic they will come back as the Leather Loop as well as the Modern Buckle leather bands also disappeared for a while, only to re-appear in the Fall 2018 collection of new bands.
