I never owned Pine Green nor have I seen it in real life but it reminds me of it
Like others have said, it's definitely a wonderful band to have, but not at full price. You can probably find it for under $100. I got mine from a chargerstore auction for $30!
Quick trip to Apple Store to try on a couple of bands.
The Purple Fog Solo Loop is delightfully subtle.
Umber Leather Link looks nicer in person than I would’ve imagined.
The Canary Yellow Solo Loop next to my existing Canary Yellow Sport Band
Not photographed but commenting anyway;
-The Sky Sport Band is nice but if you already have Blue Fog I would pass and also why does Apple refuse to make a Solo Loop in this colour-way?
-The iPhone 14 Pro Silicone Case in the new Iris colour is really nice and a pity it is not available as a watch band

I really liked the Umber colour way. I ended up returning mine as the bottom lug on my Apple Watch Ultra was actually tearing the leather back near the silver section of the band. Thought it was a defect of the band but then noticed it on my midnight link as well. I was able to “exchange” those two bands with Apple and have nearly finished selling off my link bands. Figured I’d get rid of them before they were all damaged this way while they are worth something. Only have the Umber left to sell.
So far I’ve used the money to buy more of the ultra bands. Have them all now except the Beige Trail (it’s on the way) and the White & Yellow oceans. I just can’t seem to get a comfy fit with the oceans. Either feels to lose or too tight.
I've heard it's pretty much just Lemonade? which is just flash but slightly less vibrant.
Bring back Flash, Apple!
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?
It's really worth though the price is a bitterness.
I had my friend who is an Apple staff purchase it for me at 75% of full price. I was persuaded that it will last longer than the watch itself and support further generations of apple watch.
I know, I couldn’t believe it! It was one of his auctions and no one else bid. Got lucky on that!
Thanks for the photos. They are really helpful. I haven't had a chance to go to my local Apple Store.
Hahaha. I went ahead and ordered Sky for myself even though I already have Blue Fog. We'll see. Maybe it will be a keeper or I return it for something else. Sprout Green is awesome, but why doesn't it come in a sport band?I also ordered Bright Orange for my dad. I like to buy him super bright colored bands for his jogging needs and I can spot him from a mile away.
😃
Wow. Blue Fog and Sky are so similar. I don’t see the point in having both in my collection. I’m really surprised 😮

Terrific idea with the band labels
Helps to keep track once you identified the correct color.I need expert help in identifying a color (or two).
I received a Sport Band today that was in original packaging (opened) and is supposed to be "Deep Navy".
The thing is, the bands do not match in color. The S/M matches with the pin piece, the M/L strap is a color that is similar but more blue. It clearly does not match the other color. Hopefully it is captured well enough on this photo:
For reference, the band on top is an Abyss Blue solo loop, the band in question is the one in the middle, with the mismatched longer piece laying across. According to the markings it is genuine Apple.
Left is Midnight, clearly darker, and right is Midnight Blue, also a darker tone.
Any ideas?

Is it a 40/44 band? Maybe Blue Horizon. I have a few bands where the unworn part is also a much lighter color. The two worn parts have become significantly darker through wearing so that the fresh part clearly stands out in terms of color.
It is a 40mm band, and the seller claims that it is really all the Deep Navy as shown on the packaging, with the M/L strap not worn at all.
I didn't think that through wearing, the band would get darker, fading would seem more logical to me.
So I will assume that this band is indeed a genuine Deep Navy Sport Band, all of it.
Wow thank you! That looks gorgeous!! Definitely going to get that one now!
Definitely Cypress on the darker green color. Picture is a bit washed out - first image looks looks a bit like beryl, but the lugs are bit too dark for it - 2nd looks more like pine green. Those are the only 44mm bands of that shade (other than cactus - which i have low confidence it is)
