The two white’s will be hard to capture on a photo.. I have seen a few and could not see a difference. Maybe someone can prove me wrong.
Got a tip for us?

I hope not! I’m trying to get a white band and I keep seeing antique white and white on eBay listings, so I was hoping someone might have a comparison photo of the two so I can see.
I can do this later in the day! I have both whites as well as stone. IRL the difference is quite obvious.
Edit: (left to right) Soft White, Antique White, Stone (1st gen).
Please notice that the "White" that Apple sells right now is also a "2nd gen" and it is actually slightly more grey than the pictured Soft White; the "whitest" band by far was the 1st gen "White" which was probably as white as the Magic Trackpad I used underneath the bands in the picture.
Also, the "Stone" Apple sells right now is also a "2nd gen" and very slightly colder than the 1st gen "Stone" pictured here. Nice comparison here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-released-ever.2005810/page-116#post-27242403

This is excellent, thank you! They really are very different colors. The antique white is calling my name! Placed an order for it.

Stone almost looks like fog in that picture. Thats a great comparison! Would you happen to have fog and concrete to compare?
Actually, I had both bands but sold them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fog was nice but I ended up wearing the slightly darker Nike Flat Silver much more often. The concrete, on the other hand, was darker still and was too boring (for me).
Anyways, fog is a pretty straight light grey while stone has a clear beige tint (the new 2nd gen Stone slightly less so than the 1st gen).
Thanks! Yea I am mainly interested in a nice grey and fog will do for now!
My husband bought me three 42mm Nike bands for Christmas that I haven't even opened yet. Not sure if I will like the look with the holes. Any opinions on how you like the Nike bands vs the sports bands?

The Blue Orbit bands are rare and not that easy to come by. If you don’t think you’ll like it, throw it up for sale on eBay or something.
I love the Nike sport bands. Very easy to wear in hot summer. I have those 3 and they are great. As mentioned, Blue Orbit is very hard to find and quite pricy. Try one and see.
Does anyone have the two black nike loops (reflective and the pure platinum/black) I am trying to distinguish the two apart so that I can get them both on eBay. Is there any differences on the velcro portion? Usually theres some different lines or waves of threads to distinguish them apart other than the reflectiveness.

Awesome, they look great. Cant wait to get the pure platinum tomorrow.
Been wondering whether or not to get a second hyper grape loop.. while they are still at stores. I love mine.
Do the sport bands lose the matte/smooth feel to them after use? My fog band is really grippy and rubbery compared to my others. I dont remember it being like that out of the box.
There’s hyper grape loop bands available near you?!? Where is that. Do you think think you could shop me one? All the stores around me are sold out
