Gorgeous. Hopefully they release it individually sometime.

Watch Bands I have bought over the years :D
Is that the Hermès Watch or just a band?
[doublepost=1512611179][/doublepost]Why is Dropbox on iPhone like this whenever I try to open one of emiaj’s or choreographics’ charts :rolleyes:

When the Apple watch first came out, I bought the Space Black with matching Space Black link band.....and never bothered with any other band until yesterday, when I bought the Series 3 Apple watch, again a Space Black but this time with a black sports band. One thing which precipitated me into this purchase was the release of the new Spicy Orange band. So now I've got the link band on my new watch and the orange band on my series 0 first-generation. Wow, I hadn't realized how comfortable the sports band is!

Any better placement for the Dark Teal? Looks very out of place after the light greens. Has anyone seen it in person yet? Wondering if it is more along the groupings of Ocean Blue or Blue Cobalt...just my opinion and curiosity without seeing it yet.

Good question. @emiaj and me decided independently from each other to put the band exactly between the green and blue ones, so from a color theory point of view it seems to be the right place for. I will try to have a look on the band in person this week, but my guess is the Dark Tent is more greenish than blueish.

Colorwise it is indeed the right place. From left to right: from light to dark. Green between yellow and blue, so if it's the darkest green available, it should have the last place before blue.

When using apple's own design guidelines (albeit for software purposes), teal comes before blue:

I didn’t know about these...interesting, and so technical. Just, from a layman’s rainbow order view, it looks off where it’s placed. I like to print these out, so I’ll have to do some re-org’ing. ;)

This teal looks nothing like the teal in Apple guidelines. This band is dark teal and much more green than blue. Apple takes some liberties in their naming schemes sometimes.

Actually I’ve considered the placement according to the hue... I saw the sample in the apple store yesterday, it’s a really dark green color.

I went to the Apple store yesterday and they already had a sample of the new bands on display... the “dark teal” is actually a really dark green. So if the placement is according to hue, it should be right after the two green colors, just as what we did.

I wasn't saying that it's the same color?? What I was saying, is that the order in color is:
...yellow, green <insert Teal here> , blue...

The image I took from Apple's guidelines, is just to illustrate the place of teal between green and blue. Teal is just a name to a certain shade of green.

Ok i wasn't arguing or anything. I was just giving my observations. I'm not in an apple watch band thread to argue lol
