my bet is a Sport Band. Maybe even with an engraved pin?
Solo loops probably don't take kindly to compression molded designs as they're too stretchy to remain durable over time, and I highly doubt this design is just printed onto a white sport band.
Got a tip for us?

How similar do you feel Vitamin C from Papaya? are them different enough?
Well, at one point I had all of those but actually sold some for being too close to other bands that I prefer … but not necessarily the same ones you‘re deciding between.
Bright Green is a tier 1, must-have band IMO. No chance for Spearmint in this contest for me; I sold it because when I was in the mood for a light green, I always chose Mint (which is hall of fame IMO).
Pomegranate is nice, but it lost to Dragon Fruit in my collection.
Of the blues to me Azure is more essential/unique. Cornflower is also nice but ultimaltely didn‘t stand a chance vis-a-vis the lovely, hall-of-fame Lilac.
Thanks for the reply!!
I currently have Mint and Spearmint, as well as more green tones (OG Green, Turquoise, Marine Green, Clover, Pine, Cactus, Khaki, Cyprus, Dark Teal) . Then still evaluating if I should still get Bright Green.
I have Dragon Fruit and Rose red, so I think i will skip pomegranate.
Of the blues, I heard Azure is similar to Cornflower, Lilac and Denim (I own those 3) , but is difficult to tell how similar it is because in every picture it looks different.
You obviously love your greens (like I do), so my vote would be a resounding Yes. I don‘t think it is particularly close to any of the others, either.
Good call. It‘s an inbetweener.
Azure is darker and more muted than both Cornflower and Lilac, but less dull than Denim (which I also had and sold precisely because I prefered Azure). If you really love Denim, I guess you could skip Azure, too. I didn‘t, though.
I can only say that when in doubt which blue to wear, I usually choose Azure for a mid-tone, Lilac for something lighter or Blue Horizon for something darker. The rest of my Blues get much less wrist time.
Can't wait, I'll be sure to pick this up when it lands. Don't know why MacRumors have disabled the comments on the original post though, that doesn't send a good message to the LGBT community.
Interesting. Didn't know MR made a post about it. Seems they did so early this morning.
but dispersed in confetti-like pill shapes that are vaguely reminiscent of the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island.
god, who wrote this? They're pill shapes that are vaguely reminiscent of pills. What.
Me likey. I think MR probably disabled comments to avoid the risk that some comments would just needlessly border on the political or moral, etc. I think this just looks like a great fun band. I’m going to call it the Juicy Fruit.. okay, no pun intended.. pls don’t just randomly delete, I really just had Juicy Fruit pop into my head by looking at the band!.
I think its great that Apple is making all these new fun faces for Pride. I just wish they would introduce more digital "normal" faces too. Every year I hope for some cool new Nike face and end up disapointed.
But you shouldn't censor a community just because someone might post something against the rules. If someone posts hateful comments then thats why we have rules, they will be banned... MR seems to be pandering and protecting the bigots, not a good look.
I feel like we have more pride faces than normal ones! Not really, but I agree the ratio is sad. Not that there's too many pride faces, but because there's too few regular faces.
Why can't Apple open up the face gallery to third parties? I'd gladly accept terms that make sure trash faces like Rolex copies and such are kept out.
Well, to make sure of that, it would need to be some kind of store (like the App Store) where new faces are checked by store staff before being allowed. This would be a cost/hassle for Apple, and for what? I don‘t think they lose many (or any) sales because there are not enough Watch faces. Also, it is a sort of “quality control“ to only have first-party faces because Apple doesn‘t want their very visible wearable to look like trash with sub-standard faces.
Don‘t get me wrong, I would love to see a „Watch Face Store“, but I see no reason why Apple would do this.
I'm thinking more like an official channel for artist collaborations, like how we got the Playtime and Artist faces. Artists could pitch their faces to Apple, who could decide to take them or not. Something very tight-knit, not as open as the app store.
At some point, I’d like to see a NIKE ID type of band option. Of COURSE it would be more $$, possibly 50-100% more, but wouldn’t you like to be able to design any of these bands with your preferred specific colors, maybe logo or name (like the Just Do It that Nike displays). Why don’t we have official NCAA logos yet? that would just be a no brainer.
But to be able to custom order a loop, sport loop, braided loop in an overall larger selection of colors and options would be awesomesaucey!

Here I have a comparison between White (1st Ten) (LEFT) and Soft White (Right), in 2 different lightings.
I really like White 1st gen.
Both are brand new , so not oxidation discoloration yet.

I will have to see it in real life, but I love the rendering. I’m a sucker for confetti, ice cream sprinkles, terrazzo floors, etc. I don’t even like sports bands too much but I might make an exception for this one. It’s just happy. 🥳
Yeah I can't wait to see the final design. I really hope it has an engraved pin, but i doubt it.
I was looking at the cobra buckle paracord ones, not sure I’m quite operator enough for that though, but unique looking, and I’m a sucker for cobra buckles
