How long has it been a color for? I could see a "Total Orange / Speed Yellow" released as well.

If you’re in Canada it’s still available at thesource.ca for $69 CAD. That is 10$ more than the standard Apple price.
Chargerstore on EBay also has one but it’s more $. It’s listed at 79USD but he’s taking offers. I have found them to be responsive to offers in the past.

Canadian retail was 69 at release of this band (Spring 2019). The Canadian MSRP for SB / SL dropped to 59 in Fall 2019.
Wow, you guys catch a break, eh?
They’re NZ$89 here, and as of right now CA$59 equates to NZ$69. You get an even better (or less outrageous?) deal than the US peeps.
Wish I lived in Canada. No, I’m in the US. Not willing to pay $80 from chargerstore, and I’m far too impatient to wait for that shipping anyways haha. Thanks, though!

Part of me thinks it hasn’t caught on here much (ie. Canada). For example, I literally work in an office of 10 Apple technicians, and only 2 others own an Apple Watch. Of those 2, only 1 has bought more than 1 band. Of that 1, he only owns 3 spare bands in total, 1 of which was a gift from me lol. Not a great sample size, but looking around my personal circles, I don’t know anyone (outside of this forum) who owns more than a couple bands.
Either way, definitely happy for the “reduced” price. $69 plus our 13% tax definitely added up, to say the least.
Eh, you get your own. Joint custody of one band would never work.
Sounds a bit like NZ.
There are a handful of people I know to have Apple Watches in a (technology) company of several thousand people, perhaps close to 1,000 based in the same location as me (not my house - when we used to go to another place to work it was the same place...). In the team of maybe 30 I work directly in there are two others besides me. One has an S5 SG with Black Sport Band and the other has an S3 Nike SG with an Anthracite/Black Sport Band. Another I know has a SG S5 with Black Sport Band that replaced a SG S3 with Black Sport Band.
More of my friends have Watches - maybe partly because of me - but aside my wife's best friend and her husband, who was also a watch guy as well as a technology guy when the Watch came out, and who have perhaps a couple of bands each I don't think I know anyone who has even a spare.
I'm the guy at work who changes his watch strap to match his outfit, and people can't believe I have nearly 50. It's actually 64 when the current orders arrive, but I haven't seen anyone to ask how many I have now for a while.
We have no Apple stores. There are perhaps 5 resellers of which, to my knowledge, only a couple carry bands, and for at least one of those only two locations in the country keep stock and everywhere else is fulfilled from a central location. I think the other only carries them for centralised distribution. Even where stocked the boxes for most are sealed and you can't see the band. It used to be that they had a table that looked like an Apple Store one for Watches, but evidently it wasn't worth the floor space as it's gone now.
Aw, well we’re happy to have you here 🤗 I think I’ve got 14 atm, waiting on 2 though. It really exploded from nothing thanks to y’all here.. and after realizing it’s possible to buy cheaper than retail, and hunting is fun.
In the spirit of exploding collections,
In the spirit of exploding collections, and after the talk a page or so back about all the yellows and all the blues, I’ve got 8 more coming.
I’ve snagged a few from Chargerstore (including the Dragon Fruit I’ve also mentioned before). I got my shipping notification just now - estimated between 19th May and 7th July
Anyway, I’m Cornflower and Surf away from having all the blues personally (my wife has both, so we will have the full set between us) and I bought Canary so I have all the yellows also. I guess greens next.
I really hope it isn’t July before the last of them arrive.

Oh really? I guess I got addicted at the right time! 🙂

I see them more often now that I look for them but in my personal circle I only know three people who have Apple watches and I’m not sure how many bands they own. I do know many people who have other fitness trackers which seem to have caught on with them before the Apple Watch and they have multiple bands for those, so we aren’t the only ones lol.

I went from one band in January that I painstakingly considered as I had decided it would be my only band (stone) when I bought the watch, to 16 bands now (🤭🙂) if I count three on the way, two from chargerstore and one from Apple that should arrive this week (surf blue). For me, I love colour and it’s an easy and fun way to play with it.

Yes the shipping times are LONG. I bought pollen from them in March and it took about 3 weeks. Most of that time appeared to be in customs here waiting to be cleared. I bought an ultraviolet from them recently which was listed at 99 and I got it for 85. That’s prob the most I would pay for a band if I really really wanted the colour. How many bands do you have now?

Fingers crossed they come soon! What greens are thinking about first?In the spirit of exploding collections,

I was just thinking, with 16 and 14 there may still be time for you to save yourselves...
Greens; I have OG Green, Mint, Spearmint, Khaki, Pine, Cactus, Dark Teal. My wife has Beryl, so I decided not to bother, and it’s almost too late to change that now (there might still be 44mm stock in NZ, and you know I’m going to check after I finish this). I think Pacific and Marine close them out. I also have Dark Olive which I jumped on hoping it would be green out of desperation when it launched, but it isn’t.
I’m open to Pacific I just haven’t bothered as yet, although Apple NZ had it listed for a while a few months ago, but turned out to be out of stock. Marine will just be to finish the set.
Apple NZ still has 44mm Mellow Yellow in stock even as of this past weekend when I last looked.

And yes; Beryl in 44mm still available in NZ (not 40mm though). I don’t need it and I don’t even want it, but if I get Pacific and Marine it will be the only green I don’t have and I’ll end up looking for it on eBay. I will resist... I will...
What I want form Apple is Black/Lime Blast, which I didn’t want until I bought the SBSS Watch, and Surf so I am only Cornflower away from the blues.
But then I almost left Black/Pink Blast too late and just managed to get a 44mm from a reseller after I saw Apple had sold out.

Lol about beryl. I thought about that one and finally decided against it. I think dark teal is nice. Much more green than teal. Marine green is also gorgeous.
For greens I have khaki, which I love, and pine green which I like. I often think about getting mint from chargerstore but I am not sure about the colour. In some photos it looks like a cooler toothpaste minty colour and in others it looks like a warmer pistachio colour. The pistachio colour would be the one I prefer but since it’s called mint, I’m guessing it’s the other. If you have daylight photos or can give me your thoughts on it I’d appreciate it.
But probably not. There’s still a bunch I’d like andddd trying to fight that I can collect every color every hue feeling.. it won’t get that far I’m sure, but for the colors I wear most often, sure! eventually! I’ll get a pic of what I do have once the 2 shipping come in unless I find something more in between then and now 😂
Well, as far as I know, total orange Nike band has not been released yet. If I am wrong please advise.
Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.
I don't know if this is a known thing or not, but there are a lot of "new" colors in the Apple Watch faces. I thought it was just padding when OS 5 came out, but Pacific Green, Celestial Teal and Mauve were definitely there before the bands released. Seeing some new colors now. No idea if...

I've been wondering how unique they would be, especially Total Orange, Aurora Green, and Wolf Gray. And Aurora Green finally got out this spring. Out of 19 bands (8 Sports Band), Black/White Nike is the only Nike Sports Band I have; it seems that I prefer normal Sports band to Nike ones.
And Aurora Green has been changed from more green-ish to the current light shade, being introduced matching Midnight Turquoise, so, I managed to skip Aurora Green.

My question was more asking how long the color has been on the watch. If it’s recent, it could mean a new orange Nike band will be released.
I wanna say the order got locked in place fall 2018? It feels like olive/mauve/teal got stuck up top at that point and ever since they’ve just been adding new ones to the bottom of the wheel? Mostly speculating here...
I’ll take a photo of Mint with Pine and Khaki shortly.
I think it looks like green Blutack. I don’t think it’s like toothpaste (I think of my Teal Tint Nike as toothpaste, which means Marine green would be more toothpastey. It might be a shade near pistachio, but perhaps more blue & yellow and less brown undertones.

Okay, it is official. I have too much time on my hands with at-home isolation. I just made these tags for all my bands, so I can easily identify their color. Some colors are so similar and I just do not remember which one is which.
