I also have the blue flame, am now also tempted with the Magic Ember. Think it is a great summer band.
I love it! Physically it feels fine; I don’t even notice it. It doesn’t add much bulk at all.
In terms of aesthetics, I like the matte black look; my s3 and s6 were both Space Gray, and the case brings my Midnight s9 back to the neutral black/gray I wish it was. 😅🥴 I don’t know if I’d use one if I had a ceramic or SS model, since even a clear case would interfere with the whole look a LOT more.
I don’t find it interferes with the touch screen or use of the watch; when I use it without the screen it may be a tiny bit more responsive, but nothing truly noticeable.
I’m a little klutzy and whack my hands into things a lot (I don’t know, I guess I’m just kinesthetically challenged 🤣🤷🏻♀️), so I really like the extra protection. It’s a glass screen and I have definitely cracked them and been grateful it was the protector and not my watch. 😳
Thank you! I have loved the look since I first saw it, but not the resale price (I usually see it listed above $130-150). I had gotten deep into collecting by the time I snapped this one up at $75 since it was within my goal price. Everyone’s budget and yoink-price are different, but I’m still pretty proud of that one. 😁
Gotta get Cloud Blue proto in there as well

I tend to stick to neutral bands but took a chance and purchased the light blue braided solo loop and surprisingly love it! I was worried it would clash with the gold S9 but it’s not too bad.
White Pearl Woven for my birthday band
The notorious Nike Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue.
Hard to believe this band is seven years old.

Enjoying the flash of silver/chrome against the black leather and the matte watch (even if it is a case 🤣 🤷🏻♀️ 😎).
I wish bands’ serial numbers could help ID the colors.
I picked up some used bands as a lot, and am trying to ID colors. The new bands are laid across my current bands (all bought secondhand). I labeled my current bands with my best guesses as to their colors - please feel free to correct me if you think I’m wrong. The only sports band I’m certain of the color on is the midnight, which came with the watch.
I think I have ID’d the Nike sports bands correctly as well, included a screenshot since the names were too long to put in-image.
I think the new bands are probably starlight, Cyprus or mallard green, mulberry or plum…not sure on the red or dark blue bands. There are so many PR generations and dark blues. The new PR band is slightly darker/pinker than my current one.
The last band seems to be black, it’s very close to midnight but it has a blacker pin.
I added some photos in more direct sun as well.

Sizing numbers on the back would help you find them with Bandbreite - being that some colors/combos are specific mm type. Like, that ProdRed - is it 42/44 or 45? Etc.
Good thought. All the new bands are 44mm. The seller thinks she bought them all between 2021-2023. Here’s an image with the band sizes.
BB is a great app, and I cross reference this thread and chargerstore’s images on eBay for comparison photos. Sometimes it’s really tough, though.
Edit: I guess the PR band I thought was 2020 has to be a different year, since 2020 didn’t have a 42mm band. So, the “old” PR band is a 1st or 2nd gen and the “new” one is a 3rd or 4th gen. Did the 1st gen PR bands have the PR logo on the inside of the band?

Those who have the blue alpine loop, how do you like it? I think those colors match a lot of my wardrobe, but kind of hard to tell without seeing it in person. Does anyone have any photos of it? I already have a green alpine loop, so I already know about it comfort wise.
Blue Alpine Loop is one of my favorites (wearing it right now, in fact). The blue/gray aesthetic makes it very friendly to wear with almost anything.
