Kumquat solo (this face color also best matches the Hermes face color, though I think most people prefer “orange”)

Thank you for the information. Do you think the Gen 1 Braided Loops are worth buying, knowing that they stretch more? Both these bands came out before the Fall 2021 improvements.
For BSL I would say no. Honestly I’m pretty disappointed with my second gen ones for the smaller watch. There’s something about the larger watch braids that just feels like they hold their size better.
But the silicone solo loops have never had stretching issues. They do stretch a little if you wear them every day but nothing like the yarn loops.
Also kumquat has always been one of my favorites and is much lighter than Hermes so should suit you.
And those first series 6 silicone loops have better color and feel than their sport band counterparts, though I’m not sure how much this applies to Kumquat which is fairly frosty.
I can speak better to Deep Navy and Plum which I’ve seen in person, and back then someone posted a Cantaloupe comparison that was quite striking as far as the sport band not popping.
Thank you for the feedback. I haven't ordered any of the older 44mm Braided Loops because of the additional stretching issue.
I do have one of the older 44mm solo loops, and some of the newer 45mm solo loops for comparison. So far I don't have any issues with the older 44mm solo.
By chance does anyone have pics of the Navy Alpine and Blue Alpine loops side by side? Thx AW fam!

A quick edit of Tangerine sport band and friends. Brighter and more pink than nectarine and apricot but darker and more orange than peach.

a quick edit looking at aquamarine sport band…not much to say about it other than it’s “brighter/less saturated beryl”

Three from a recent 'bulk' purchase! - Ironstone, Royal Pulse and Celestial Teal. Will add some more on the wrist when time permits.

Wait celestial teal has a black pin too? That’s good for the graphite watch.
gym 💪 red bright crimson for WWDC today.
The thing I love about the AW being 10 years old is that I have bands I forgot I bought many moons ago. Just rediscovered this Nike band (bought 2015 or 2016 I think) that pops on the S10JB
I was surprised about that, Ironstone looks at least as dark and it has silver. Certainly a better fit with darker watches no doubt.
Also just noticed that the Cargo Khaki / Olive Grey Nike band I recently purchased has a silver pin, although I have seen images of them with black pins, wonder if they changed it to black on later production runs 🤷♂️

The black pin one came with space grey/Midnight watches, a friend of mine has one like that

Can someone please show the white ceramic with the starlight braided solo loop? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find a photo of that combo. Thanks!
Does anyone have the Spruce Aura / Vapor Green Nike Sports Band, recently picked one up in sealed packaging, it looks correct, serial marked on the central lug securing pin. The non pin side seems very tight fit in the lugs and band is very soft compared to my other Nike bands, more flexible somehow.
Just wondered if this was normal for this model, I will post some more detailed images but it all looks genuine. Shown on Series 9 SS.

Here you go. In the first photo, Midnight is on the top and Ink is on the bottom. In the second photo, Midnight is on the left and Ink is on the right. I think Ink is more blue than Midnight.
