Do the new Nike sport loops reflect? I've always like that understated characteristic of the Nike sport loops.

I guess that would take away from their carbon neutrality? LoL
For sure someone on the materials sciences team found an amazing phosphorescent sea creature to harvest and then the next day there was an all-hands about the Mother Nature era

Sidenote: Update completed, fill your wishlist! In addition to the 61 new bands available at Apple, Hermès introduced six new leather bands. You can now complete your wishlist with all the favorites from this season’s collection!
 
Could anyone with a leather link band, preferably M/L, tell me how long each side is? Trying to determine how much overlap I will have on my wrist. Don’t have access to an Apple Store to try them. Thank you in advance.

So the current red sport band is indeed not “new” like the lack of label would suggest? Or still waiting for release/intel?

Also the video you have on the App Store listing is so cool

Tough call. Because of the new packaging and all-new MPNs we need to trust Apple. But then, there’s Beige Braided Solo Loop.

Thank you! I can’t wait to show you the full version on Monday!
 
I’m curious to see what people think, especially after we start seeing bands in real life, about the new Sport Bands. Winter Blue and Storm Blue in particular - what previous blues are they closest to? From looking down the list in Bandbreite, Winter seems like a slightly darker Blue Fog, maybe? And Storm Blue compares to Abyss Blue?

Of the others, Mulberry is a lighter Plum?
Light Pink is a pinker Pink Sand?
Clay I’m having the toughest time comparing - somewhere between Walnut and Pebble? (I don’t have any Sport Band in the brown/gold colour, so am interested in this one.)

Storm Blue was previously issued as a solo loop. It’s a very desaturated “Thunder/Air Force” blue towards a green tone. Pacific Green but even less pop.

The sport band will prob be a little deeper and less frosty but not too different, especially with such a faded concept.
 
You'll be pleased to hear it never gets worn and it lives in a drawer where light only gets to it when I change to one of the other bands stored with it,
I dunno, I feel like the prototypes deserve to be worn. Could be alone on this. None of my pre-production rejects are pristine.

Haven't seen the timer specifically but I have noticed some look a little different. What's changed with it?
Used to show the last used timer time, and it kept a nice rounded edge to the aesthetic of the watches appearance. Now, after the time finishes, it just goes back to the timer icon.

Used to look sorta like this.

Now it looks like this :(

Oh, yeah, not a fan. That feels pretty backwards.
It USED to be the Timer icon - infact it still is on older watches (s3 and older i believe), and they changed in the last OS to have that kinda unified round appearance. I know some folks hated it - but like... have the option to toggle Apple. I know you can do it! the other UI elements are still rounded. Throws it all off imho.
