Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

Looks like you’re having a lot of fun at the Apple Store! The Plum Sport Band looks very elegant on the Gold watch— is that your Gold SSS6?
I completely agree, Gold and Black is a timeless combination, especially with a proper black band. The Black Leather Link is one of them (I posted a pic of it some time ago— I’ll have to find it, or take a new one with the Gold S10). Classic buckles are awesome, but we have to be mindful of their silver lugs. There are only a few with Gold lugs still around, but they’re in a different shade of gold. Also, some premium Hermès leather bands come with black hardware, but they’re out of reach for most. That’s why I decided to experiment my Gold TiS10 with the black hardware on the new Alpine Loops in dark colors😊

The plum band i was trying on was on the S10 gold titanium. The first picture with the red leather band is my own gold stainless steel Apple Watch Series 6, all other photos are on the S10s in gold titanium I tried on at the store. Indeed classic buckles with gold hardware are a rarity; but I use third party ones with silver lugs and it is only a bit off but not too noticeable. I never owned a leather link nor loop (as leather loop is restricted 🚫 to 44/45/49mm Apple Watch only), but I do have a modern buckle.

MIA for a few days but decided to break out Mallard Green. It’s tough in photos but a great shade of deep teal. I’m up to 50 sport bands!

50, that’s a good effort! Mallard Green is one of my all time favourites.

I visited the Apple Store earlier today and indeed the new Nike Black/Blue SL has more blue in it than last year’s. Also the stitched fabric part at the lugs is lighter coloured on the new one.
I also took a picture of the new Nike Starlight/Pink SL in the store and compared it to last year’s edition I have at home. The first picture shows last year’s version (still in it’s retail package) and the second picture shows this year’s edition (photo taken in store). Although the lightning is obviously different, it shows the new version has much less pink/red striping and also has white/yellowish or Starlight coloured lugs, where last year’s edition had pink lugs.

A few of the green bands compared: Mallard Green, Lake Green, Olive, Pine Green, Succulent. All of these are absolute firm favourites. Olive is on the watch.

Question: Are there serial numbers on the Apple and/or Hermes bands? I thought I heard that there was a tiny number on the middle tab of one of the lugs. Can someone clarify this?

Do you guys think the link bracelets are sent out once ordered online only rather than stocked in store?

I’ve been checking everyday and there’s no inventory in my area with the delivery times slipping too.

Light Blush is more desaturated than you can even imagine. Kind of makes it a whole separate vibe. Antique Pink?

White—Light Blush—Pink Sand 1

Can light blush pass for white? In the Apple Store lighting with no white band to compare it was very difficult to detect pink (for me). Your photo makes it more obvious. Not sure if that’s the camera or the natural lighting or the white band next to it.

Totally, my plan is to ask normies what color it is and have them say white. Already had one sure answer to that effect.

I quickly edited the photo above to add the tinge of pink the camera isn’t gonna see on its own. And so far it feels like a more peachy warm pink after S9’s whole lavender-favoring deal.

Against the white of the Flux numeral you can tell it’s not white, another rough edit:

This is awesome! Thanks for posting. Confirms that I need Lake Green!

Has anyone compared the new Plum Sport Strap with the Mulberry Sport Strap? I’m new to Apple Watches and have the 2024 Plum (which looks darker than the original Plum) and I’m tempted with the Mulberry. My Plum watch strap looks almost Purple.

S5 Ceramic + White Ocean Band. Lugs fit like they were made specifically for the watch! Unfortunately the clasp is still titanium, but overall they go together quite well.

This is my first ocean band! I absolutely love it, it’s my favorite Ultra Band out of the trio for sure not including Ultra Milanese (league of its own) which I can’t wait to get eventually get my hands on.

There’s really no band like it, I guess it’s the one that really feels like it balances the physicality of the Ultra itself best?

And, god, that black finish is amazing. I want it so bad but only have room in my life for one Ultra and certainly already too invested in Natural bands.

Yea the black Ultra is a beauty. I sold my natural and not looking back. Luckily I wasn’t heavily invested in Ultra bands and I agree on the balance with the Ultra, maybe Alpine being the second best to balance it imo.

I guess the alpine slides more. I need to weigh the band styles against each other on a scale now.
