In and around the D.
I’ve tried it “classic” style and it just felt wrong. Maybe more wrong than going water sports on a sport loop.
To be clear: I’m neither advocating one method or another nor assigning “correct” and “incorrect” I was simply pointing out the claim that Apple‘s official photography DOESN’T show the “secure method” is NOT true when looking at their “default” image (i.e., the first image we see in the store with just the band fastened, no watch case). That default image IS the “secure method” as viewed from a 1st person viewpoint. That’s it – that’s my only point here.

All that said, I wear my Trail (and Alpine) Loops the “correct” way. ;)

Ughhhh stop, I physically can’t stand seeing that gorgeous Satin Black that I will never have time to wear/collect.

Let me try un-reverse reverse again and see what it was I didn’t like. And I mean literally feel, not feels like it looks wrong.

My bf also wears them “bad for water sports”

Blue Fog (left), vs Sky (right). The difference is so slight, I cannot tell one from the other, other than what is indicated on the box.

Honest question…the one on the right doesn’t look significantly brighter?

Its color sampled is fairly legible on the left guy

Blue Fog is def at the center of one of the “all these bands are the same” conspiracies but Sky has always been distinctly bright, like its name.

These pics from me and another person came up in a search of my library and line up with what I see in hand/in reality.

The one on the right is Sky. It is lighter but not very distinctly lighter. I was hoping for a pastel blue/ baby blue to complete my sport band rainbow collection, but my Sky is not light enough. I do like your Mist Blue and Sky Blue though. They are more to my liking.

Yeah I would look into getting a Sky Blue. It’s a classic gooey band if you prefer that type

I can only tell those two apart in broad daylight. Indoors or by dim lighting they look pretty much the same to me.
Let’s just be glad we got on with more of a green tint in Light Blue sport band. Although with Winter and Denim, they’re back on the burple tip just in a deeper register.

About to shoot Denim and see what it’s all about!
