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.
I’m following the same line of thought as you. Hopefully they’ll come back at some point, maybe in the Spring release?

Blue horizon is totally worth the money. Grabbed a knock off on amazon and the colors do not even compare. The real Apple color is so nice... came today and loving it.

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 knock off Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue band for my SG watch. In my opinion, it doesn’t look very good on an SG watch.

Agreed, it's really nice!

It's the only dark blue I have, all the other ones seem TOO DARK, almost black.
I actually think its more of a electric dark blue.. if that makes any sense.. this is going to be a color that you see on EBay at 100+$. I'd suggest anyone interested in it to pick one up before they are gone.

Wondering when the spring colors will be out, looks like the winter ones are starting to be sold out on apple.com.

I see Blue Horizon & Cape Cod are both sold out for 40mm. Celestial Teal/Black 44mm. Anything else?

Anyone know the ratio of 38/40 & 42/44mm watches sold? I feel like I see more of the smaller bands when I'm search for a rare color.
 
Could someone do me a favor?
I have three Sport Loops Nike version:
Black reflective - bundled in S4
Cargo Khaki - ebay - sealed
Bright Crimson - BestBuy - open box

Black & Khaki are the same in their lengths.
But Bright Crimson is little bit longer than the others.
Anyone could check and confirm those lengths?
Thank you in advance.

I have 5 sport loops (Bright Crimson, Smokey Mauve, Indigo, Cape Cod, Hibiscus) and Bright Crimson seems to be the longest.

I have 23 Apple & Nike sport loops, and there are about 3 different lengths even though they’re all technically the same size.

For anyone's reference, a comparison of a handful of band colors:
Nike Anthracite, S4 Black, Dark Olive, Dark Teal, Pacific Green, S1 Midnight Blue, Blue Horizon, Ocean Blue, Denim Blue, 1st Gen Blue, 2nd Gen Blue, S4 White, Orange, 2nd Gen Red.

Used to have an Azure, it's basically a light version of Denim Blue. Was supposed to get a Royal Blue but the eBay seller shipped me a Denim instead.

Three different lighting setups (apparently Imagur doesn't do albums anymore?), the first is probably the most accurate to my eye.

Was lucky to get this off eBay with a reasonable price...
I always wanted the original Hermès cuff, unfortunately I have very small wrists and I’ve always had 38/40 mm watches. Although not the same, I do love the look of this double buckle cuff. The leather feels so nice!

Hi guys, @ 83 straps I thought my Watch Band collection was complete for now … until I came across this picture of the Lemonade sport band ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, if anyone has a spare 42 mm Lemonade or can get one, please send me a PM! :)

No relation to me & I don't vouch for them. :) Or create an ebay alert.

I'm still looking for Nike Midnight Fog Sport Loop (42mm) and Rose red & Blue Orbit Sport Bands (both 42) as well.

Thanks for the link! Sadly, the seller will not ship to Europe … I‘ve been looking on ebay for a while already but no luck yet (or only buy-now offers for absurdly high prices).

Good luck for your own searches, seems the hunt is never-ending :)

What shade of blue is the other one? Looks amazing.
