Yeah wow, 41 only as far as the eye can see. One on Mercari but pretty well used.
You can’t go wrong with the new Nike flake sport bands. I’ve been wearing Desert Stone on Starlight the last few hours.
Got a tip for us?

Capri beats Surf, Gen2 beats Gen1!
Series 5 Ceramic + Vitamin C = Clean
I have learned my lesson. Changed out the irritating Spigen watch band with the Apple Trail Loop band.
Instant relief. The trail Loop allows the Ultra 2 to ride correctly on the wrist not tight but comfortably. You get what you pay for. The Trail loop with its Velcro like closer is much better than the Alpine loop's hook arrangement.

That’s something I experience when I don’t fasten the band smoothly, often when I fasten it off my wrist but still on the watch, but I’m guessing there’s no fix for you?

I think just some of the velcro pieces are stiffer than others? Just my observation.

Off the top of my head I know my grey/blue does it. Ill check when I get home.
This has probably been talked about but I can't imagine how long it would take to find due to the length of this thread, are the new S9 fabric sports loops terrible at longevity or is it just mine? It's not even a month old and it's starting to show signs of fraying. When I watched reviews they seemed to be in agreement they were pretty sturdy.
I rotate between too many bands to give a durability take but my s9 sport loops are undoubtedly thinner/lighter with the new “green asterisk” era build.
Pix?

That’s discouraging. I’ve only worn my new S9 pink sport loop once so far. But I do notice that my Product Red sport loop from 2022 (so even before the carbon neutral campaign started) is getting rather “fuzzy” in the area where the velcro touches when it’s closed. I inspected my frequently-worn third party bands and don’t see the same fuzziness. I admire Apple for sustainability efforts but if the new sport loops are declining in quality because of recycled materials, it’s hard for me to justify spending $49.
This is the least bad of the “color flecks” Nike bands IMHO.
Living in the only sunny part of the US right now, I guess I’ll take the shade
Eh it’s just not my cup of tea. Maybe if the flecks were closer to the main color of the band (i.e. all varying shades of blue). What’s crazy is that I really like the new Nike sport loops with all the different recycled yarn colors. The Game Royal/Orange is 🔥🔥🔥
