Stop. Please. You’re making me want to buy them all and I don’t have that kind of money. 😂

Sunshine w/ Edition gray face looking good!

So nice and this is it on a natural Ti AW

Quick photo for @toxtrepla of Cocoa in both direct and indirect natural light. Really nice deep brown color. When paired with Pine Green, it feels very earthy.

Looks awesome in the light. Different enough for me from gray to add to the collection for sure. Thanks for taking the time!

No worries! What’s your collection looking like? I’ve been so occupied collecting colorful bands that I’ve forgotten to get some neutral colors as well.

 

[Swenyly]

I never realized how many bands I had until now lol. All original except the two at the far right.

Those two Blue Hermès are still on my list! Very hard to find them in good condition. Beautiful collection you got

Hello! I’ve stalked this thread for months since I bought my first Apple Watch and became obsessed with the sport bands and have found it super useful in comparing colours. I am wondering, does anyone have any side by side comparison photos of the surf blue and delft blue sport bands? I’d really appreciate it.

Also, if anyone is looking for a HyperGrape sport loop in 40 mm, it’s still available at thesource.ca. Seems to be a super popular band!

Soft, breathable and lightweight, the Nike Sport Loop is designed for fitness, with selected colours matched to the new line of Nike running shoes.

For those that have the leather loops, do they loosen up on your wrist at all while you're wearing them?

Occasionally, but it’s usually catching on something. I actually find they tighten and most of my fiddling is to loosen them.

The black one was the band I ordered with my S0, and I never really liked it from day 1. A while back I tried it again when I wanted something smart and black, but then I bought a Hermes Noir Rallye so it was dumped again. I guess I might try it with my new SBSS, but the all black look isn’t one of the reasons I bought it.

Anyway I bought the Light Brown LL because I wanted brown leather and didn’t want to pay classic buckle money (back then ) and then no more leather loops. The light brown is not a brown shade I like and combining with the style not being to my taste I never wore it (my wife eventually bought me a Saddle Brown Classic Buckle for my brown fix). It’s probably the only band I have that I’d be willing to sell in fact, and saying Black/Volt is my most disliked band is actually wrong now I think of it.

The colours in some of those look way off to me, like the green is low or red is high or something, especially Khaki, but also Celestial Teal/Black.

🤷‍♂️ Maybe the way overcast daylight is coming in, with the combination of the room lighting? But if it's only on "some" then that's odd, as there's no band-focused touchups applied. Oh well, sorry

Ooooh thanks, just what I was looking for!

No, I haven't noticed that.

 

[FenC]

Looks great, thanks for posting. I'm interested as I'm flipping between getting a natural Ti or SBSS for my next watch.

Do you happen to have Cactus and Delft Blue? I'd love to see what they look like as they're two of my favourite bands right now.

Also, what's that bottom left complication?

Cactus. I have to admit I’m surprised by this one. Cactus is not a favourite of mine, and I thought it might be too muted for SBSS, but I like it way better than I do on the SS.

 

[jeremyfernie]

Ooooh thanks, just what I was looking for!.

Which one(s)? The mega close-ups? Let me know if you want any other extreme close ups if others

Looks really good. I already have pine green so didn’t think this was one I wanted because they felt so close. But now I’m rethinking this.

And Cactus / Pine together (Cactus is lighter/bluer).

And I thought pine was pretty blue to begin with! I think I will hold out for a greener green.

I actually really like those two as a combo. Woah.

I actually need to take an updated picture of my collection once my amazon order comes in. Waiting for what seems like forever for my Spring bands to arrive along with some leftover fall refresh colors. Gift cards to the rescue....

I’m in the opposite boat though. I’m just now starting to branch out and go with some colors I never normally would. Grapefruit and Pomegranate especially.

Waiting on my eBay orders to ship to take a photo myself. Most excited for a NIB Lavender Gray, picked it up a few days ago for $20.

I bought Lavender Grey when I saw it cheap on eBay, and I really like it. I also got Lavender around the same time and found it goes really well with a work shirt.

Remember when we used to go somewhere else to work, and wear different clothes when we did that? It seems weirdly long ago already.

For those of us who jumped on the Noir Swift band wagon within the last 2 weeks (@dallasjava @CarlJ @oarx)...

My order ETA for Noir Swift Single Tour just changed for the third time. I guess there's an issue somewhere in the chain of Hermès+Apple joint production, as I've seen no such issue with non-Hermès band orders. COVID-19-related, perhaps?

Order placed, April 20:
ETA June 1 - June 8

Update, on April 29:
ETA May 5 - May 6

Update, on May 1:
ETA May 28 - June 5

Yep, same - well similar, dates are all a couple days ahead of yours, but it bounced from end-of-May to this week, and now back to end-of-May. I'm guessing some miscommunication between Hermès and Apple on how many were in the latest shipment. No matter (aside from impatience), I wasn't expecting a chance to get it at all once it originally disappeared, the big change was the decision to make some more - I expect they'll still make them, I can wait.

I have both grapefruit and pomegranate and like them a lot. To me, grapefruit feels like a more saturated pink sand. I also really like dragon fruit but i feel like it’s close enough to pomegranate that I shouldn’t try chasing it down.

Actually got mine yesterday. Here’s a picture of it on my watch. It looks just like the pictures, but the stitching is a little off, and even missing in some places. Actually, now that I look at it closer, the leather may be missing as well. I think I was sent a defective unit.

How does it feel on the wrist?
