Just scored a brand new Pollen sport band on Ebay. Have been hunting that color for a while. :D

If anyone is in need of the "Flamingo" color sport band 42mm or 38mm, (discontinued) here is a good price.
Cool.. yeah don’t see that color popping up. What else are you looking for? I’m still looking for the UltraViolet but besides that one on eBay I can’t find one anywhere.

That Pollen band is hot, tempted to buy one. Wish I could fine the original orange one again.

The Pollen has been discontinued and is as hard to find in new or like new condition as the green or mint green, in my opinion.

If I had an extra orange band, I would help you out. I have extras with some of my bands and orange isn’t one of them (at the moment). If I score one, we will do business.

At the moment, I am not obsessed in any hunt. I am hoping Apple comes out with some new bands at the end of March, as they have done in the past.

I updated the history chart with these bands:
  • Close the Rings 2.0 Staff Only Band (Temporarily it's in the row of Fall 2017, will be moved to Spring 2018 when new bands come out in March)
  • Gold Link Bracelet seen with some celebrities at Apple Watch launch

Nice, I just wish there was a larger version where the bands and info were "Large" instead of so small. Is there such a thing?

Actually there is. choreographics made a 2.0 version, which is more compact (with larger images, model numbers and availability, but not ordered by seasons), if you go a few pages forward, you can find it.

I wish I could export an even higher resolution of this history chart too... As the original file is getting larger and larger, the 16GB RAM in my 2016 MacBook Pro doesn't allow me to export PNG files with higher resolution. Maybe someday I should purchase an iMac Pro (if I get rich), haha :D

I’m probably the only one but I ONLY collect the sport bands (original not Nike even) and would love a good res image of those. I struggle to get the high res version then try to crop.

If you have a Mac, did you double click the image to enlarge? What kind of display are you using?
I downloaded and viewed it on the iPad.. it enlarges but no where near the resolution of the high res file that I finally got as well.
I miss having photoshop where I could easily duplicate layers and arrange them .. my pc died so I’m limited.
It’s ok, I’ll use what I have for now.. thanks

The full res image is actually too large to open in an iPad... I cropped this from the full res version (All the text should be clear enough here):

On the chart, what do the circles mean in the lower right corner? Are those pin colors?

Could you be kind enough to show me the difference between white and soft white? I can’t find any comparison pictures on the internet.
Also im very into neutral color, i know i still miss peeble and two of the walnut variations. But do you see any more shade i dont have?

It appears that the Sport Bands in your photo are not official Apple Sport Bands, as someone noted earlier, Apple’s have color-coordinated connectors; non-Apple Sport Bands use black connectors on their ends.

Soft White and White are subtly different. Here’s a picture with them (red arrows toward each other) alongside other neutrals...
Top row: (Flamingo), Walnut, Pebble, Stone, Antique White, Soft White
Under that: Cloud, Concrete
Under those: Fog, White.

The band bundled with the aluminum watch came with a Rose Gold pin before, but if you buy a standalone band, it has silver pin. About the meaning of the circles, indeed it's about pin colors/materials (I posted it in a previous update):

Yes they are all 3rd party
Thanks a lot for you picture! Its pretty hard to tell the difference between SW and white. Even side by side.
I’ve just ordered a peeble one, it looks like a vey nice shade. Slightly warmer than concrete.
