I did. Since I already have the Noir Swift single tour I would like to have something from Hermès with a print but not much of a fan of the Noir Swift Allover print.
Ah, yes. I think I remember reading your post. Good find on that Rallye band.
Got a tip for us?

I was wondering between the surf blue and the cactus one, but decided to go with the cactus. I think it will match the aluminium gold colour pretty well. Getting it on Saturday.
Do you have Pine and/or Khaki to do a real-world comparison photo when it arrives?
Just updated the chart with Spring 2020 new bands!

Just saw what you were referring to. If you see, the little dot to the right of the band in the photo represents the hardware color, and that has been changed to black in the spring 2020 box.
I saw the dot - and I even knew that because it's actually a pin used to denote which of multiple pin colours available in some sport bands - I just didn't make the connection. Duh!
Here's a comparison. Royal on left, Azure on right. I'd say Royal is closer, but harder to find.
ChargerStore on eBay has Royal Blue in stock (there's another thread in this subforum about "is this seller too good to be true", that's about ChargerStore, and many of us have had good results from them). This pic from there might help:
I just got my Surf Blue sport band. The top picture is outside lighting. Surf Blue to the left, Blue Orbit in the middle, Gen 1 blue to the right. Second picture is inside, Blue Orbit on top, Gen 1 Blue to the left, Surf Blue to the right. The Surf Blue band doesn’t feel as solid as the other two. Flimsy feeling. I don’t have a Denim Blue band, but judging by pictures of others, I’d put the Surf Blue right there with it.

That is, indeed a very pretty blue. Seems a little brighter than Royal Blue, and brighter than Denim Blue (which is lovely but muted).
That's a bit concerning about feeling more flimsy - I wonder if it could be something with switching factories because of the outbreak or some such. Will await more reports.
The band isn’t as bright as I thought/hoped it would be, looks good though. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I were able to see it in a store. The band had a bunch of black marks all over it too. The marks came right off with a wet paper towel though.
Thank you for the pics and comments!
Per the Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodger_blue has two variants, one for web/stadium color, which I think is the one for the cap; and the other for their uniforms. I rather say Royal Blue is more like the web color and Azure is more like the uniform, which seems little washed.
I have been watching the seller for a while, but never placed an order, because I was able to bid & win whatever color I wanted with cheaper price than the seller's. I am checking his stock list again and found out that royal blue is listed at $49 and $59 as well. I will check with him/her about the difference.
Thanks!!
does anybody have a band they regret ever buying? i have two i can think of:
Why regret? If you don‘t like a band, just sell it.
P.S. I have the band on the right and like it a lot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Several. Black/Volt Nike, Midnight Blue (just because it's not quite blue and not quite black), and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head. Forest Green Leather Loop (because it's too dark, and because I got a large and really need a medium - I should sell it off, but that takes effort).
Well, I just glued this together... and I think it may be making me spend some money (edit: it did) - Nike Black/Volt vs Black/Lime Blast:
(The lime is straight off Apple's current band page - volt is a little more tricky as it's no longer on the site - found an image via google that I'm pretty certain is an Apple-taken pic from an original Nike watch.)
Hmm, also looks like they went with a silver pin on the Black/Lime Blast - boo!

welp, I'm a lot poorer
I ordered this one and the grapefruit for the bands, I skipped the cactus for now.
I wonder how this surf will compare with my other blues....I was looking to get a second gen blue...but this may just fill that gap.
I have pine, khaki, and spearmint...I just don't know if I want cactus.
do you have any other blues to do a comparison photo with?

Thanks for those pics. Looks like Surf Blue could also be called Smurf Blue.
My selection shipped today - Surf and Grapefruit for my wife, Cactus and Midnight Turquoise for me. I think Black / Lime Blast is way better than Black / Volt, but as Black / Volt is my least favourite band (and closest to a regret) I'm not going for it at his point at least.
