It’s indeed a very nice band! The pink really pops and looks so nice. Such a great color for summer!
Got a tip for us?

Yes!! The color combination is more coherent than I imagined... so glad that I got it!
I don’t know if this is going to help anyone else, but I finally got canary and papaya bands. I had pollen and peach, and, to me those look like dirty versions of canary and peach.
I adore them all. And despite their similarities I’m inclined to keep them all.
First pic: pollen top
Second pic: Papaya left
Third pic: pollen, peach, papaya, canary
I wouldn’t really call these similar. Try spicy orange, apricot and nectarine ... or cobalt and blue horizon ... or lemonade and flash.
Lol you know you’re talking to a collector when they respond with one band per band type! Love it! Mine:
Sport: Rose Red
Sport Loop: Hot Pink
Nike+ Sport: Light Bone
Nike+ Sport Loop: Cargo Khaki
Woven Nylon: France Olympic International Edition
Leather Loop: White
Classic Buckle: Storm Gray
Hermès: Equator Tatoutage

Well, they’re similar to me. Pollen and Canary have the same undertones. Much like flash and lemonade have the same green undertone.
Papaya and peach for sure have different undertones. But they’re close enough to my eye.
I’m not a band purist. I just buy what I like.

It‘s all good! First of all, comparison pictures are always useful because all the bands look so wildly different depending on the lightning that it‘s quite hard to compare them in separate pictures. Also, similar is, of course, relative. The bands you compared are definitely kinda similar! But, as you write yourself, they are also different enough that you plan to keep them all. Which is exactly what I do! Because if you mean by „band purist“ collectors who try to buy every band available, then I‘m not one either. Which is precisely why I for example sold Cobalt after I got Blue Horizon – they were just too similar to my eye to keep them both! „To my eye“ brings me to the last point I want to make – we all see colours (slightly) differently anyway. So to you Pollen has the same undertones as Canary, to me Pollen remains singular and actually very hard to define and almost mysterious; there is something else in there other than pure yellow, obviously, but I absolutely couldn’t tell what it is exactly. In the end everyone should just do what we both do – buy what we like and be happy!
Some awesome choices there! I‘m very jealous of the France Olympic band, I must say ...
But to participate in this fun game, my choices would be:
Sport: Camelia (2nd board, middle row, 3rd from right)
Loop: Cerulean (1st board, bottom Row, 7th from left)
Nike Sport: Spruce (2nd board, top row, 4th from right)
Nike Loop: Smoky Mauve (1st board, bottom row, 2nd from left)
Woven Nylon: Tahoe (1st board, top row, 2nd from right)
Classic Buckle: Sunflower (1st board, middle row, 4th from left)
Hermes: Feu (the only one I have ...) (1st board, middle row, 5th from left)
Metal: Space Black Link (1st board, bottom row, 1st from right)

Pollen *IS* very mysterious! I can't put my finger on it.... but I love it.

Yeah, me too! It‘s my favourite yellow sport band by far.
Great, great choices. Camelia is a forgotten beauty. The Spruce and Mauve only arrived yesterday for me I’m looking forward to checking them out.
And wow that is quite the awesome way to organize bands! They’re not hidden away and you can enjoy them as art!
Thanks, mate! I used to store them in transparent acrylic drawers, but they were never quite „visible“ enough to me. Having them out in the open like this makes it much easier for me to choose which one to wear today.
LOL indeed
Whats that nike sport band on the bottom board, top row, 4th from the left? Is that celestial teal?
Not sure which one you mean. The 4th from right is Spruce Fog, the 3rd from left is Flat Silver.
SG with silver link.. cant wait to get the series 5 SS!
