Don’t take this the wrong way, but I hope you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and that you’re wrong.

My addiction requires new summer colors, darn it!
I totally agree with you. I hope I am wrong too. I also need to feed my addiction.

I need to feed my MasterCard. I just counted and I think I have 19 bands on their way to me as of this morning's eBay session. It might be better for me if Apple skips the summer entirely.

I have 10 on the way, which will bring my total up to..

68. Oops.

I to will do the photo thing.
I believe I have ALL of the Sport Bands (not accounting for pin color). Not shown is Hermès Black, which should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

A few aftermarkets in the lower left corner, but all the original Apple bands are here.
What is this Bordeaux colour between the pink and Ultra Violet?

honestly don’t remember the NikeLab Watch being launched despite being a bit Apple fan from way before the Watch was a thing and having an S0 from day 1. Add to that that (I think) it’s just a SG S2 Nike with a not available separately band and I don’t know if it’s highly valuable.
The Nikelab Watch was around for about 10 minutes. It was announced as limited availability from the get-go and was pretty much only available from Nike, and the color was uninteresting to me, so I passed quickly by.

Hmm, maybe the Tokyo pop-up store thing rings a bell. It definitely would not have been something I’d have lost sleep trying to buy. Just as well since Nike NZ doesn’t carry the Apple Watch.
 
I need some help identifying this gray bands. I added the white band as a reference, also the second one has a rose gold pin. Thanks! 🙏

2017 gray, SBSS, fog

Apologies for the dust — been a busy weekend and I took this shot in the midst of some projects ;)
Thanks for that. I think Concrete might be what I'm looking for in that case. Gray is going to be worth having also for a different purpose - I find the pure black of gen 1 too dark in a Sport Band (always have), and gen 2 doesn't look all that much less black to my eye, so while I've never worn it I don't think it will be much better. I actually prefer Anthracite / Black to either rBlack SB because it is dark grey.

I *think* I saw photo once of an SBSS on a gray band that was darker than Fog but nowhere near as dark as Gray, but it was a while back (long before I had an SBSS of my own) and I haven't managed to find it using Google. I had assumed it was Fog until I tried with my SBSS and Fog band.

Concrete is definitely a good option, too. To me, it’s slightly darker than Fog and has a warm tone to it.

Need some help here On identifying this color. Hard to capture this color with accuracy next to the other blues, but next to Link Pink i am able to get the white balance right.

Lilac? Sky Blue? It’s a 42mm.

Mine looks identical to your picture. Hard to capture the lighting at Times. Easy solve. Thanks for taking that!!
Oooh - I need Lilac. I wasn't including it with my "all the blues" set for some reason, and it seems hard to find. That and Cornflower are all I have left to locate. Good to see what it looks like.
 
That “Olive” is definitely third party.

I really don’t see a reason to have more than maybe 5-8 of these. After that, new ones start to look like old ones. Unless I can get them for $5-10, I’ll pass.

Correct. The Olive is third party, indicated by the “non-bold” text on the sheet.
 
New 2020 Pride Edition Sport Band and Apple Watch Nike Pride Edition Sport Band! It's bizarre to see a rainbow-colored sport band

No matter how I look at it, the Pride Edition sport band is the most jarring and un-Apple like thing Apple has released. Looks like cheap third party watch band. The Nike Pride Edition sport band on the other hand is very tasteful
