No more "Nike Plus", guys. Now all bands and watches Nike and Apple are doing together has simple "Nike" co-branding. Check the logos on the Series 5 and Series 4 watches below:

So my space black Milanese came in today. I don’t think I like it, don’t get me wrong it’s beautiful but it feels uncomfortable and hot to me. Am I in the minority with this? Or maybe it’s an acquired taste after I wear it for a little bit? I immediately switched back to my sport band. At this moment I feel like I’d rather bought the pine green and product red sport bands for the money. I’m going to give it a shot tomorrow at work and re-evaluate. Just my initial thoughts.

I know I'm quoting my own post lol, but I wanted to update my impressions. So 4 hours in at work and I think I changed my mind. I'm starting to really like it, but I have hairy arms lol and have had a few hairs get pulled, I suppose that is expected. On a side note my Apple black leather band has shipped out finally, so I am excited about that.
 
Find Papaya 44mm for 19€, New in a reseller Store.
there are also Resberry for 29€, also new.
 
Pink Blasts (loop and band) arrived just now. Pictured on SBSS S4 - gallery link: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B1A5fk75vPRj8G

PS There's a Rose Red band placed in one of the photos because it's the band I was wearing at the time. I left it in the photo since it might help give a reference.

PPS On a related note, I just got a chance to compare and I can confirm 100% - the pink of the Pink Blast Nike Sport Band matches that of the Dragon Fruit Sport Band.

Hyper Grape vs Desert Sand/Volt and Royal Pulse/Black

Looking at Hyper Grape side by side with Desert Sand/Volt makes the "grape" much more apparent. Very pleased with today's deliveries.

Was searching for something else, noticed that Walmart has a handful of Apple 44mm Sport Loops for considerable discounts:

Storm Gray ($29), Indigo ($25), Hibiscus ($27), Cape Cod Blue ($40)

The Sport Loop is not really my thing, but figured someone here might want to snatch these up. Presumably some of the 40mm are on clearance too, didn't look.

Nice find and thanks for sharing this @CarlJ

Cape Cod Blue became my go to summer band. I waited for a long time before ordering, found one at Apple and could not take it off my wrist since it arrived. Wonderful band. Indigo was my go to from last year's fall release. I have Storm Gray and it's interesting. This would be a fantastic match at a bargain price for those with the new Green iPhones.

Please could you show me how its looks like on a Black Watch?

This is the 42mm Classic Buckle (so it has the more oval buckle) with my Series 4 Space Black Stainless - I swapped the silver lugs for black so it would match the case (now just need to find the buckle hardware in black).

Woof, finally, a merciful end to Watch band SZN! Been so addicted to this thread.
Space Black Modern Buckle 40mm on Gold Stainless, Black Steel, Ceramic. I think I will rock this one panda style where the Milanese doesn’t quite jel for me.

Man this thread lol. In the past couple of days I have ordered the space black Milanese band, black & saddle brown leather bands, the pine green sport band and hibiscus sport loop band. I ordered the pine green and hibiscus from amazon and I was shocked the hibiscus was only $27.31, normally $49.99. I wanted product red sport band but another day, it was back ordered.

On a side note, wow I really love the space black Milanese band, everyone was right. After a full day of wearing it I really like it, and wow it looks great in the sun. Won’t be my everyday band but definitely one of my favorites right now. I have so many other bands lol, I really need to get some kind of storage for them instead of having them scattered about.

Be Careful! These bands are not sold by Walmart, but rather by VIP Outlet. I contacted them in the past and they said they only sell pre-owned bands and they may or may not have a box.

I think the Nike+ brand as a whole is being phase out.
 
I also have those two for pick up. Looks great. I did order the new midnight blue loop but returned it. Really not a fan of the new dual tone sport loops personally.

Nice! Interestingly enough Midnight Blue is next on my list. I've already got the Alaskan Blues and like them but Midnight Blue and the Royal Pulse/Lava are singing to me now.
 
This new blue is very unique.

Apple makes no sense. When I ordered my new iPhone, the delivery didn’t require a signature and they left it sitting on my porch. Today I’m supposed to have a Nike band delivered and they wouldn’t leave it without a signature. WTF

I have had the exact same, random delivery experiences with iPhones, Apple Watches and bands (both UPS and FedEx). Can’t figure it out either

That’s a great shade of blue! Thanks for the comparison photos.

I "pre-ordered" a 44mm Desert Sand/Black Nike Sport Band from B&H yesterday because it was the last day B&H is tax-free in my state! It shows as back-ordered on the order screen, and I'm starting to wonder if/when it will come haha. I'm excited to try a Nike Sport Band and really love the color. I've owned an Apple Watch for over a year and I've only ever used sport loops. I've never tried a sport band or Nike sport band.
