I have not seen a modeling shot of the new SKY sport band. Can you describe it? How do you like it? Does anyone mind sharing their new purchase?
Got a tip for us?

Really like it. I’d say it has a fraction more grey in it than the official Apple marketing pictures suggested to me personally, but not by much - I’d say it’s 90% accurate to them. Personally like it a lot (though I’m also currently on the hunt for a colour match to my Blue Jay phone case too!).

Since my Apple Watch Band collection is ever growing, and so is Apple's range of colors, I am at a point where it is increasingly difficult to remember the color names and distinguish between similar colors.
How do you guys deal with this? Are you leaving the bands in their boxes? Are you using stickers for the bands or do you use labeled trays?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Heres another one - in a supermarket with their lighting and background for contrast. I think its fine, its a bit more dull than I care for but its still fine. Its not vibrant but a nice pastel.
I’m actually loving that braided. I ordered it and now am super excited for it! Will match my new carved case for my phone beautifully
Or bright orange vs vitamin c? If someone have both; which would you recommend? Cant decide🤔
Here you go. Also threw in HERMES because people keep saying it looks like it (it does not).
Vit C, Bright Orange, Hermes. Note: this is just at my desk and the bands (VitC especially) are a bit more vibrant that even this picture shows. Vit C all the way!

I think I’m going to treat myself to a new expensive apple sport band. Which should I get? Ultraviolet or Hermès orange?
Thank you folks for the modeling pics. Really appreciate it. I am contemplating this color because I'm a huge pastel fan.
As mentioned last week, I found a Hermés Orange Single Tour leather and Sport Band for a good price online. (Along with a Series 6 watch itself.)
Pretty happy with this… I can see people might collect Hermés…

Thanks! VitC it is😎 I enjoy buying and wearing bands alot but I said to myself that I will stop buying new ones 10 bands ago 😂 now at 22… will this ever stop?
Absolutely worth it if you plan to wear it. There's nothing like it. Knockoff versions require a pin to adjust links. It's a tremendous piece of engineering. I recently bought one after being on the fence for years due to cost. I wear it when I want something different. Only negative for me is the band is listed as not water-resistant; go figure being it's stainless steel. Compliments my S7 Ti perfectly.
It definitely is worth it. HOWEVER, not at full retail price. I got mine in near mint condition with a S0 sale - for like ~$50. Look for the deals and be patient and you'll get one.
It’s an awesome band. I had both silver and black versions at one time or another with different watches. The black will end up scuffing even though it has the DLC coating, but not near as fast as the knock offs. The black Apple link matched well will both SB SS and SB TI watches. I went S7 Ti last year and sold off the silver link as it didn’t quite match in colour. (OCD is a bitch.) Ended up with a second gen Ti link bracelet from Nomad, which works well with my new Ultra as well. It’s an excellent band if you you can find it. With the release of the ultra it seems to always be out of stock now. It’s lighter in weight than the Apple SS link bands but not as easily adjustable. You need the included pin removal tool to adjust. Typically most people will find their fit and never touch it again.
Question for everyone who has the Link Bracelet - Is it worth it? is it worth 1 BSL, 1 Alpine Loop, 2 Sport Bands & 1 Solo Loop?
Absolutely! There’s no other band like it. But not full retail though, I got both brand new for under the price of the Silver Link (cheaper than Space Black Link).
The Link Bracelet was one of my favorite bands with my Space Black Stainless Steel Series 4. Agree with the others that it's a tough sell at full retail (and to think it used to be even more expensive!), but such a lovely band, IMO.
I bought a third-party Link Bracelet for my Gold Stainless Steel Series 8, but it more yellow gold than the watch. Still looks good (IMO), but I do wish Apple or a third-party offered a link bracelet in the same gold color as the watch body.
Thanks for all the answers! Love this community. Well now i am sure i want one. but where to find a deal for this great band in Austria? 🧐 I feel like its only available at full price…Absolutely! There’s no other band like it. But not full retail though, I got both brand new for under the price of the Silver Link (cheaper than Space Black Link).
