Over here in Germany all bands are cheaper now:

- 49€ instead of 59€ for Sportbands and Loops
- 99€ instead of 159€ for Metal and Leather Loops
- 449€ instead of 499€ for the black Link Braclet

:eek:

Same in other markets?

P.S.: Ofc I spent the original prices a couple of weeks back on the Milanese Loop and Link Braclet... ;)

In USA $, I think the prices remained the same except for the Milanese & leather loops which dropped from $149 to $99. That's much more reasonable for both.

WOW! I didn't notice that! Thanks for pointing it out.

Also, they're selling the Black Leather Loop - that's been gone for a while, some folks have been asking about it.

Which Nike sport loop will be the hyper grape of this season? The one that everyone wants after they’re sold out.

Desert sand/volt

Royal pulse/lava glow

Wow, they got rid of all the Sport Loop "classic" colors such as Red, Black, Pink Sand, Seashell, etc.
I'm very surprised.
I'm not sure if I like the two-toned Sport Loops. I'll have to check them out in person.

Not as many colors came that grabbed me this time around but I already ordered the Meyer lemon leather loop and the desert sand Nike sport band.

I will buy the saddle brown leather loop and black leather loop later this year.
 
Almost definitely going to pickup a black leather loop at some point. No rush though. Maybe once they come back in stock. At $99 these are much more attractive. Wish they would bring the sport bands/loops down to $29 or something, but whatever. I have enough of those bands anyways and none of those that were released today really caught my eye. They've basically hit every color now (except Kelly green :mad:).
 
For collectors of sports bands, apart from the new Clementine, Pine Green and Alaskan Blue colours, I’ve just noticed that new Hermes space black editions of Watch series 5 also include an exclusive Hermès black sport band rather than the usual Hermès orange one (still included with the Hermès polished stainless steel).

Did not realize collecting entire sets of bands was a thing. Anyone here have all of them?

Wonder what that'd cost? 10k?
 
Further back in this thread you can find lots of evidence of those collectors, and graphics of all the bands ever released by Apple, no matter how slight the seasonal differences! I’ve always liked collecting used sport bands just because of the colours, and I try to spend as little as possible, although the boxed ones are preferred. I wear them with the silver or black stainless steel watches. The discontinued colours are often very rarely found on eBay etc., but I’ve managed to find many of the earlier sport bands from 2015-2017. What amazes me are the collectors of Hermes leather bands who have posted here; a far more expensive hobby!

i have all of the sport bands, and almost all of the nike sport bands, its easily cost me like 5 grand im sure. some bands i got after market, so a few of them were below retail and a few were above retail cost. but if you take the number of bands i have and times it by the retail cost it comes out to 4400ish. I cant even imagine what it wouldve cost to get ALL of the bands since there are tons that are extremely limited like the olympics and there are a few watch exclusive bands. Its getting out of control tbh. lol what can you do ya know.

Same here. I’m not wild about the colors. Most of them are kinda manly...I’m a woman and I like girly colors! But I’m also a Ravens fan and the Midnight Blue/Black combo almost looks a little purplish, so I’d really like to see some real-people photos of it soon.

real life photos are the key for me. There have been a lot of colors I definitely thought I didn't want because of apples photos and then once I saw real life photos or got the band out of the commercial lighting of the apple store and into natural light... then they transformed and my feelings for them changed. Dragonfruit was one of those for me, I didn't even like it when I first saw it displayed in the apple store, it has now become one of my favorites and most worn!
 
I'm a sucker for anything Blue so this fall's offerings have my head spinning. Alaskan and Mightnight Blue are singing to me but I'd like to see pictures of them first. Also, leather loops are much more appealing now. I own one and it's a very nice change of pace. Super comfortable.

Ordered the:

44mm Alaskan Blue Sport Loop
44mm Midnight Blue Sport Loop
44mm Pink Blast/True Berry Nike Sport Loop

Also took advantage of the $35 sale on the 44mm Pride Sport Loop at Amazon

Almost went with the Meyer Yellow Leather Loop, but I have the Forest Green Leather Loop which will match the Forest Green Leather Case I ordered for my Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro Max.
 
I was hoping for a “forest” green sport band for a while now and for some reason speculated that it would be one to release this time! Ordered the Pine Green!

Looking to order one of the new nike sport loops as well.. can’t decide between the royal pulse or the desert sand though..
 
I've just ordered myself an Watch Edition Titanium in a 44mm silver with the Alaskan Blue Sport band. I'm ready to upgrade from my S0 SS 42mm. It's been a great watch and it's still working great, but it's time for an upgrade. So excited!!

Anyways here are screenshots of the new part numbers.

I own all the Olympic bands in 42mm so will get you the missing ones on your list.

I also own all the Hermes bands in 42mm (except Etain and Agate) so I will get you those as well. I do believe I have the serials for Etain and Agate in a spreadsheet somewhere, I'll take a look.

Anyway, consider those model numbers acquired :)

PM sent.

Thank you!!
 
Classic Buckle didn't come back in the end, very disappointing. They even tempted/reminded us of it by bringing back the Saddle Brown colour we all loved..

But otherwise the two-toned Sports Loop looks interesting.
