Mulberry FineWoven. It feels soft and comfortable but definitely isn’t leather. The band still looks good after wearing all day. Time will tell how long it will last long term but I don’t think it will age as poorly as the cases since it isn’t constantly being dragged across a table or taken in or out of pockets.
I do plan to try the FineWoven Magnetic Links.
The Apple Store display models by me already have permanent marks on them both from the buckle itself and I guess rubbing against other bands or the wooden tray. Kinda sucks. Will be interesting to see how they hold up over time.
I have the marks from the buckle in the second picture. I don’t have the marks from the first picture so those are likely from storage or handling. My bands are stored in a padded case when not in use.The Apple Store display models by me already have permanent marks on them both from the buckle itself and I guess rubbing against other bands or the wooden tray.

Are the storm and abyss braided really as close as this picture makes them appear? I didn’t care for the abyss loop due to the slight green tint. I was hoping storm would be a good alternative but it looks basically the same.
They’re even closer but this is a blast of outdoor light after the sun went away…I will investigate further. As you can understand this band has not been getting my attention.
What would I do without the safe haven of “but they’re for different case sizes!” (and “they’ll stretch less if I have two choices!”)
Also a comparison request: Clay sport band with Coastal Grey and Dark Grey (Ti bundled)
Chargerstore did a comparison to Dark Gray and Midnight, but not Coastal. Clay is the "prototype" marked below as this was before it released.
And @athousandbands did Clay BSL to Coastal, too.
Not the best but i hope it scratches the itch for now until someone else can come in and do a proper comparison for you.
You got it.
Clay, Coastal Grey, Dark Grey Ti.
Same order, just me holding them in a window with natural overcast sky light.
How similar are the Inverness Green and Olive BSL?

Orange Sorb Solo Loop with its outdoor pink shift
Olive Alpine is easily one of the best bands ever. Really suited to the style, even better than the Green Alpine!
And the loops feel higher quality.

Received my Game Royal/Orange Nike sport loop today - goes really nicely with my blue aluminum watch.
Only thing is the orange Nike pull tab is a little much - I may be carefully cutting that out later today. (Edit - pull tab removed….just felt it was too big hanging at the end and now the band is much cleaner).

Darn. Was really hoping since the Olive Alpine Loop is sorta “splitting the difference” between Green and Starlight, I wouldn’t need it … but now I think I do. 😬
Too close for my eyes. I have to look really hard to see the difference.
It was love at first youtube, and it’s even better in person. I don’t know if “sage” is the right word but it’s smokin' smoky khaki sport band green.
I wouldn’t mess with it but I’m interested to see your results
