Upgrading to Series 10 this year, but not iPhone 16 (already have 15P). Was watching someone’s YouTube video of the Ultramarine silicone case and wow I think I have a bit of FOMO, that Ultramarine looks so good. I think it’ll be like Ultraviolet levels of wow all over again. It looks like one of the most original band colours we’ve seen a while.

Upon a check on the Watch Band side, this one is only available as a Solo Loop and Sport Loop. I think I will buy one of them. Or maybe even order it with my S10.

Yeah I'm a little bummed we didn't get any bright sport bands this year. Was hoping for that Ultramarine soon as I saw it

no ... i mean the new trail loop in blue

I think it’s pretty safe this Navy is a fresh tone for Ultra bands. Safely not too denim or that really purple indigo we got last year, or the “storm blue” which was more green-leaning and less rich than this Navy appears to be.

Does anyone know yet what the pin material is made out of for the new sport bands?

I’m curious if it’s been changed from SS to titanium to match the watch.

I think it’s still steel as it doesn’t mention a change and when the Nike ones changed to aluminium last year it was mentioned. Would love titanium so I can add some sport bands to my collection.

I’d imagine PVDing the pins isn’t worth the hassle, plus prob not wanting to warm-tint them and make them less neutral.

Guessing the fact that they can’t work in recycled rubber also makes pursuing an eco story like the aluminum pins moot. Plus I think they want to keep them premium and mirror finish.

I’m glad they’re not aluminum as I prefer the shine of the SS.

Still a shame they didn’t make it Natural titanium, a small detail but it would have been nice since they don’t offer SS anymore anyways.

am wondering if I should go for a lighter colour / colour that is not close to purple indigo

hopefully we can have real life photo of this blue trail loop soon
