Unrelated to the bands, l always love the water in the background of your photos. Very relaxing looking.

the kids both have a "small collection" not worth putting up here, about 10 bands each, mostly hand me downs from us

Wow! What gorgeous collections!! I’ve resisted getting into the sport loops because I’m worried I will love them and start collecting those too! As for ultra violet I got it from chargerstore, reported as new but without box.

My Surf Blue arrived yesterday. It's a lovely, well saturated bright blue, without being neon or washed out. I'm done buying blue bands now. YOU HEAR THAT APPLE? NOW CONCENTRATE ON GREEN AND PURPLE! NO MORE BLUE.
Agreed!!

Thanks! I try to take a pic of it every day.

That’s a wonderful and well varied collection! It makes me want Surf and definitely Delft!
 
That’s an absolutely gorgeous view. Great idea to take a daily photo. As for surf, I’d say grab it while it’s still available! I also wear delft quite a bit. It’s a very rich shade of blue.

I think I definitely like the Spearmint sport band over Cactus. It's nice but not really unique in feel to my collection. Likely be an out of production sale later on.

celestial teal, cactus, spearmint, midnight turquoise

Celestial is on my list, but they sell for way too much. Oh well.

Cactus, can you please pop up on eBay for half retail?

I must be colorblind or something. Delft just looks like an in-between of Ocean and Horizon. Why do we need so many similar blues again, Apple?
 
I upgrade every year so I get aluminum. I don't know that I've ever seen anyone wearing anything else, altho I don't know how I could tell them apart? it all looks like silver, black/grey, gold, or white on the outside?

If I wasn't upgrading, I'd be tempted to have the black titanium and white ceramic. They don't seem to hold their value for something that has big upgrades each year (with the exception of S4 to S5).

I love spotting the type from afar. It’s dead easy with stainless, so much chrome-shine haha - and as for SBSS, it looks so deep / murdered out, so that helps to differentiate. That being said, yeah - most (at least 80% of the ones I personally see) are sport.

As for resale value: I’ve been able to sell my SBSS at 50% retail each time to date — S0 to S2, S2 to S4.
 
Get my second Ultraviolet Sport Band, new, 42mm.
I Sell the First one, because the collor is Not my Favorit.
now i hold it or sell it only by a Good Price.
