Very nice graphic! The only critique I'd have is that where bands have been discontinued, they weren't discontinued in every size or territory, so that bit of it may be a little inaccurate depending on where you are. Also, the original blue Sport Band isn't the same blue they sell now, think it was updated during the first band refresh. I'd quite like to see another big graphic like that but with just the new bands introduced at each stage. I do wonder why they've made so many - the pink/orange/apricot Sport Bands, for example, are all very similar.

Personally, I own four Sport Bands (white, Product Red, green, pink), two Woven Nylons (scuba blue and royal blue) and one Leather Loop (stone).

Thanks! I know, I sacrificed details about the size for a much clearer and easier to understand layout—some of the sport bands are indeed very size-specific in terms of colors.

Got it. Good eye, I changed the blue in the update currently uploading.

Ok, so as promised here is part of my collection.

I couldn't get the picture of the nylons/Hermes to load, so maybe later.

[doublepost=1476220455][/doublepost]*** UPDATE October 11, 2016 ***

Thanks for all the kind words, and your attention to details.

I have updated the whole visualization with the original photos used on Apples website for every release, I added color names, corrected some typos, and finally rearrange everything for a much clearer (and wider) second version.

Very impressive collection. Can't say you don't like sport band. :D

I'm somewhat surprised you don't have a black leather loop. :eek: Maybe you think Classic Buckle is enough.

Very curious about nylon. (and of course what Hermès colour you're having)
[doublepost=1476229518][/doublepost]
Here's mine so far. Not included in pic is the concrete and ocean blue. Also note the dark one is midnight blue not black.

Nice collection of pastel colour. But you need a better looking box. :p


And btw, why is this thread not a sticky yet? "Every Apple Watch bands ever" should be a sticky, no?

Thank you for this.

So Blue is now a bit lighter than the original? Hmm...

I've been looking for something like this! This is awesome. The new Dropbox link is having problems for me though (reloads over and over).

Fantastic update! This looks amazing! Really makes you look at the various bands and wonder why Apple cut some and added ones that were so close in color.

Thanks, glad to hear that. :) I checked the link. Works fine for me, but the size of the image might be a problem. I will try few different things later today.
 
The next update will include the Apple Watch Pride Band (Mockup, because there is no official photo or rendering of available) and the first Apple Watch Edition—just one last band is missing. Fingers crossed.

Great work!

If you want to be more precise, the first gen blue leather loop (bright blue) doesn't have the same colour as the later gens (midnight blue); it's significantly brighter. Same with the new smoke gray leather loop - not the same colour as the earlier, brighter stone leather loop.

My fault. You're absolutely right. It's called Leather Loop Smoke Gray not Stone.

Pictures are taken from Apple, so I remember the fact, but not sure why Bright and Midnight Blue Booth looks exactly the same here.
 
*** UPDATE October 13, 2016

Thanks for all kind words and comments so far.

Added: Images of Apple Pride band, Images of Apple Watch Edition (5 of 6)
Fixed: Leather Loop (changed 'Stone' to 'Smoke Gray', adjusted color of Bright Blue)

Another little thing … the "yellow" Classic Buckle is officially "marigold" (and indeed more of an orangey yellow).

Other than that it's perfect now. I hope you keep the file up-to-date when the next wave of bands is released! :)

Thanks. I will changed it with the next update. Still looking for the one missing Edition band.
And sure, this file will be update as soon Apple will released some more bands—and discontinue other.
 
I only have a black sports band as I need the larger size bands that only come in black or white.
Would love a (Red) band to match my iPad and iPhone cases
 
I didn't even know Apple changed the leather on Apple Watch Stainless Steel. The new version looks much better (with the stitching) vs my First Generation leather strap.

Bummed out!
 
Just an idea: Is it essential to label the few bands, which are available bundled with a dedicated watch only?

Yes.

But yours is a collector item now.

As much as you spend on bands may just want to buy your own laser ctter. ;)
