Hi, I’m NZ and have a similar obsession. I’ve recently upgraded too a S5 Ceramic which really goes well with all the bright colour bands.

Note with Apple NZ online, you have free returns for 14 days if you don’t like the item, so that might be an option.
Not just me then - awesome.

i know they do returns - in fact I returned an iPhone 11 when I realised you can’t go LCD after 2 years with OLED, but it is a bit painful. unless I hate one I doubt I’d go that far though I have the option as you say.

I live in hope we might get an Apple store one day although I know being in Wellington we’ll be third on the list.

i also live in hope we’ll get the cellular watch at some point. Next time I have an excuse to go to Aus I’ll pick up either a titanium or a stainless silver (like my series 0 is) but for now I have a silver Nike S5.

There are strong rumours of LTE Apple Watch availability in NZ before Christmas (2019). JB had LTE watches listed on their site last week, now taken down.

I wouldve taken all my Hermes bands but leather in a island no way

I would take 5 Nike sport bands, since the Apple ones bother my wrists. I would choose:

Black/Volt
NikeLab Grey
Blue Orbit/Gamma
Black/Royal Purple
Silver/Volt

I only have 5 sport bands.
Blue (the rare original one)
Nike Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue
Nike Celestial Teal
White
Black (came with Space Black SS Series 2, the new black bands are much lighter in color)
 
My small Collection.
I also had Ultraviolet but the color was bad. Sell it again.

i bought ultra Violet in new for 59€ a few month ago. Also sell it, because i dont like this Color.


I love your display! Can you post the details on how you made this or where you bought it?
 
Have to say I love ultraviolet... and what a stellar season Autumn 2017 was with rose red and blue cobalt released alongside it!
I agree, on the hunt for a 38/40 but $100+ is a bit more than I'm willing to pay. Hoping Apple releases more purple bands next season.
 
Wow straight up launch hot/reddish orange? Bold choice. I love it on space gray for that Rebel Alliance look but I‘ve finally caved and ordered Hermès orange from eBay and I fear it will just collect dust now.

Well I chose from my collection the ones I wear the most, so yes; that orange. I wear it any time I have something else with even a hint of orange in it. I do think Hermes orange would be better, but until I washed up here I was operating a policy of not getting a new colour if I thought it was similar to one I already have. That’s why I have so many early bands in my list.

I started with an S0 on the day they arrived to try on / pre order in Apple stores (I happened to be in Glasgow that day), and after it arrived I was hitting Apple cancelling my band orders when I tried to buy one of each in both sizes as they thought I was bulk buying them - I had to get them delivered to family in the UK and then sent out as we didn’t have the watch in NZ at all in the beginning. Ordering a couple at a time I did end up with all of the launch sport bands except pink (and my wife has that in 38mm) and we pretty much bought all the new bright bands when they were released; yellow, original product red, orange etc. I don’t think I have anything super rare - light brown leather loop maybe? I have the original blue, green, red, black, black leather loop.

I wish I’d just bought one of everything as they were launched in hindsight, and I’m probably going to expand subtle differences now as worrying about new ones being too similar to what I already have has limited my collection. 26 now but a long way to go...
 
Hermés Orange
Red (1st Gen)
Orbit/Gamma Blue Nike
Midnight Blue
Black (would change this to UV if I ever get one)
