I just got the Chlorine Blue nike band (finally!) from eBay for $28 shipped

looks like the seller got a good deal as a TJ Maxx $13 clearance item, but I feel so did I!

Surprised by how much lighter and faded sorta looking it looks in person vs more saturated appearing in every photo I've seen (including mine). Even the on wrist photo doesn't really fully capture it. Different, but not worse than expected! 'Chlorine' is a good descriptor

Also posted next to Blue Orbit nike band for comparison and 2nd gen blue

It’s a really hard color/material for the iphone camera to capture and edit, just like Gamma. Ever since I’ve started using ProRAW the camera does some weird stuff with strong blues…

But I agree, it has that less saturated neon glow all the way. Praying Apple has vibrant new Nike bands coming in March/April, but won’t be surprised if they rest on their laurels with Bright Crimson.

We started to build a database with the official translations of bands in many different languages a while ago. Now, we're looking for help to fill the gaps in Japanese, Korean and Chinese. If one of these is your native language and you want to assist us in researching all of the official colours and shades please let us know.

We're currently working on German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. If you feel your language is missing, drop me a line and let's talk about it.

Does anyone know when they removed the metal from the sport loops? I want to pick up a couple more but I use the compass feature.
 
When do new colored sport bands come out? I can't wait for a bubblegum pink or a fuchsia, dark pink in my collection. Even a lilac. I mean I've been waiting forever and fashion houses worldwide are flooded with these cute colors, I don't see why Apple has to be so disconnected and can't even introduce one or two of these highly coveted hues.

I would guess because Apple does not have the clientele of a fashion house and those sort of colours don‘t sell very well. But it‘s really just a guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
 
I found a blue band and I have no idea what color it is. It has a 42mm marking on the inside so its from somewhere before fall 2018. I put Linen and Alaskan Blue next to it.

Can you help me out here?

This thread has gotten me hooked on collecting bands. I didn't even think the Apple Watch was 'cool' but because of you guys, I've been obsessed ever since. Thank you for igniting that fire!

My first post - Midnight Blue 2 Sport band on Starlight (I need to get an SS soon)
