I just scored an Apple ultra violet 38mm in box for $75.00. It is pre-owned but looks new in the pictures. Doing the happy dance.

the First Ultra i found Last year in a reseller Store for the normal Price, 59€. I want to hold it, but i realy dont like the Color. So sell it for maybie 70€.
the second One was found online By the Same reseller, but in another City. Dont know why the Bands comes Last week in the Store. Its new from a Apple Power reseller. Mhhh. Oh.the Price is 29€ :)
and now i will hold it only to Collect them or Sell it for Around 150€ to buy me some nicer collors.
 
Really want to print out the bands table by @emiaj, but Walgreens says the file is too large.

First, I’d like to ask you @emiaj, if I can get permission to print it for my own use?

And second, does anyone know any good poster printing services similar to Walgreens photo?

I broke down & ordered the Nectarine loop from Amazon (on sale for less than half price). I really like the Spicy Orange loop so looking forward to another orange.

I think you’re going to like the Nectarine more, in my opinion I do even though I never really got acquainted with the spicy orange loop because I was always more pulled by the richer look of the nectarine threads over the more simple white threads on an orange background of the spicy orange loop. I absolutely love the nectarine loop. I bought it as well from amazon but ended up returning it because it was shorter than all my other loops and looked short on my wrist. I was so disappointed by that because I loved the color but the length bothered me. Oh well my OCD got the best of that one, can’t win them all lol. I’m sure you’ll love it! Here’s a picture for memory’s sake... lol

For anyone who owns the classic or modern buckle bands, if you wear it with a sport watch, how noticeable is the difference in material between the case and the lugs of the band? Any photos of this combo would be much appreciated.
My wife still has an Alu S4 she uses for sleep tracking since she got her Hermes. If nobody else replies with the photo before it's daylight here again tomorrow I'll see if I can take a pic.

Assuming you're talking silver Alu and stainless lugs it looks fine though. She only ever had Alu since her first S0 until a couple of months ago and her Saddle Classic Buckle is one of her most worn bands. Simialrly my S3 and S4 were both Alu (before we got LTE in NZ) and I wore a Classic Buckle quite happily as well.
 
It’s one of the nicest colorful (non-Nike) loops IMO. Love the red threads in it, so warm.

Hoping they bring that style of loop back, personally. Looks so much more refined and interesting than the 2-tone setup.

Yes I agree! I’m ready for Apple to quit the whole two tone or I should say three tone (because of borders). I know a lot of people love it but I am not a fan and don’t own a single one of the new Apple Loops. Nike Loops has definitely been my go to. Apple bring back the rich colored Loops with nice thread colorings weaving with one another to create an awesome overall color like Nectarine’s warm effect because of the red threads mixed with the orange or Cornflower’s glowing effect because of the orange threads mixed with the baby blue threads you get the point. One more thing Apple, please don’t make them short! Lol

But I have small wrists and everything is too long 😭

Saw that. Got green already for $16 😏
[automerge]1589435936[/automerge]
which one were you lucky enough to score?
The $11 one. I don’t even know the color but when I see a $10 stray I usually seem to bring them home 🤔 flamingo maybe? The lighting is horrible. I didn’t see the pink and blue listing till it sold 3 days later.. is that the light pink in there? *cries*

Thanks for the response! Yes I’m talking about the silver Aluminum. I’ve been thinking about the saddle buckle for a while but it’s not been available until now. Ordinarily I’d try it on in store but well...

Both of those bands are beautiful. Although I don’t collect loops (I’m scared to even try one on in case I fall in love with the feel 😬) I like the look of the loops better than the bands for both of these colours.

Of course! I posted it here to share it with everyone. I'm glad that you like the chart!

What was the first band you saw and thought "Yep, I've gotta have that." and thus started your collections?

Ultra Violet. (I was late to the AW game, didn’t get one until the S3 in 2017. The LTE sold me as a solo lady runner.)

Seeing how coveted this band is, I’m glad I immediately jumped on it and it taught me the lesson that if I like a band, buy it immediately, LOL. Purple is my favorite color and I knew I had to have it.

Thanks! That looks great!

I'm totally with you.

The "simple white threads on an orange background of the spicy orange loop" and Flash Light and the other early bands detract from some really nice colors.

I'm not a fan of the 2 tone ones either, except for the Red loop (G2).

Hard to believe that's all we had for a while :)

Somebody send her a tryout loop immediately! They're so comfy & nice.

Hahaha! The last thing I need is a new thing to get addicted to collecting!

For real though! So great in their own way.
I am sure one of these days I will, and then my wallet will live to regret it.
 
I just did something I probably should not have done...lol I just check chargerstore. 🤷and they have ultra violet and I could not resist. So in about 3-4 weeks I will be the proud owner of an ultra violet.

My last order from chargerstore is out for delivery. So I will take a new group photo this weekend.
 
You know, with all these colors to choose from, I often forget how good the standard black looks.
I was JUST thinking this today. I love my black sport band and I find it creates such a classic look with my watch.

I also have an ultra violet on order from Chargerstore! It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve ordered and it’s here in Canada but I think it will be a couple more weeks till it comes.

I love the color, but $109 for one band? No thanks...
