Hi! It’s been a while since my last post here, just wanted to ask a favor if anybody has red raspberry VS the new gen of product red sport band? Thanks!
 
I didn't really want to own so many. But when offers come along...I weaken.
Actually, I thought that was enough for me, but yesterday I saw someone with an iPhone silicon case in this yellow-orange, marigold?

Now I still want the iPhone case in that colour and also the watch strap:p

And maybe a Milanaise bracelet in black/graphite, then that's really enough for me.

PS: the app Bandbreite on iOS (Bandbreite ) is really nice! I wish the app would include also all Apple silicon cases ;)

Thank you! 🤗

Let me answer this one, and explain briefly why an app for cases won't happen, at least not on our side.

For an app like this, you need passion for the topic. And other passionate people to join. I am not using a case at all. 🫣.
More importantly, cases are very seasonal and short living. Your iPhone X case won't fit on an iPhone 13, and neither will the newest color for the iPhone 14 fit an iPhone 8. With watch bands, that's a completely different story, which makes an app more reasonable.

I know there a quite a few people out there with a lot of cases, and I fully respect that. It is just not my or our passion.

I relate so much to this post, I never had any intention of owning more than a few bands (for a long time, the entirety of the time I owned my S3, I only had two), but then I fell down the rabbit hole of looking for online bargains and now I’ve just passed the 30 band mark. I always tell myself just one more and then I’ll be done, but then I find more colours that I’m in love with… it’s an addiction, but at least it’s a fun addiction!

Thank for posting this app. I can’t wait to log my band collection on there. 😎
 
Bit of a long shot here, but worth a try I reckon!

Is there anyone out there with an Apple Watch Ultra that wears the Ocean Band on the third hole from the end? If so and you also have the Alpine Loop, which size did you get?

Thanks!

I wear my Ocean band in the 5th hole from the end. I wear a Large in the Alpine Loop and M/L in the Trail Loop.

I started with a Medium Alpine Loop but the hook sat at bottom on my wrist. I did not want to scratch tables or my laptop so I switched to Large and it’s perfect. Here are some photos!

It’s def firmly a red, and has a surprising amount of pink for a color that has a hot orange punch in the Nike catalog. But then again apple made the bright crimson sport loop very pink as well.

Def vibes with Magic Ember’s pink if you ask me:
Needless to say I couldn't resist so I went ahead and ordered the Bright Crimson / Gym Red band. I was wishing it had an orange vibe to it. I had been debating on getting this band ever since it was released but was waiting for it to be stocked at Amazon or Best Buy. But it appears only sold at Apple / Nike.
