I really wish he had the cloud in 42!
I do have one extra, but shipping from Germany will be pricey :(

I’m still waiting for mine, question for you though, does it have all the apple oem markings on it?
‘S/M’
‘M/L’
‘42mm’
‘Assembled in china’

I’ve found another interesting marking only on Apple Sport Nike bands. There is a ‘42mm’ marking at the same place than the ‘assembled in China’ marking but on the loop part of the band

But I haven’t found this marking on the Apple Sport band. Only on the Nike ones. Do you have it too?

Yes. What's funny is that there's no marking on the S/M piece...just the M/L. All my Nike bands have the 42mm stamp tho.

If anyone is looking for Woven Nylon bands:

Very cool. Lavender is a ridiculously difficult color band to find with the normal silver pin as a separate band sale, but I eventually found one end of last year. Glad to see it worked out!

I just saw that here in the Netherlands the Lavender Sport Band is still for sale (Apple premium reseller). They have a 38 and 42 mm on their site. Let me know if anybody is interested, maybe i can help.

That could be a bit (50%) offtopic, but does anybody have a spicy orange sport band AND/OR iPhone X silicon case around? I want to get this combo, but in Germany everything “spicy orange” is sold out :(

Oooh, let me know how much.
[doublepost=1522160788][/doublepost]So, what are you guys getting today? I’m thinking marine green sport loop. I really like the striped woven nylon bands, but I just don’t wear the nylon bands I already have very much.
[doublepost=1522160873][/doublepost]Enjoying the new cocoa band today, by the way! I generally prefer color, but the neutrals really make the gold pop.

Well...the store is back online and I was able to purchase the 3 new Sport Band colors. The stock photos look so close when compared to others, and they also have Flash and Spicy Orange (but 38mm ONLY) available again (U.S. Store names).

Pebble, Camellia, and Azure are still listed but are also still sold out.

I had no idea the Cargo Khaki would be green. I ordered the loop since I don’t have a green band. I was hoping to order something brighter

I ordered a 38mm Red Raspberry. Didn’t want to wait...I’ve seen how the other colors sell out and don’t get restocked!

Exactly. Though I chatted with and Apple rep yesterday (Take this with a grain of salt). I asked specifically about the 'out of stock' Sport bands (Ultraviolet, Spicy Orange 42mm, Red Rose, Blue Cobalt, etc.) and if they will be restocked. Here is what the rep said,

"So regarding the Bands that is currently sold out(Spicy Orange, Rose Red, and Ultra Violet), AS per checking here, this will definitely be back soon, since we replenish the Bands every month or so."

and then he said this,

"You just need to check this in April/"

This may mean absolutely nothing, especially since some of those are no longer listed on the website

Looking at the pictures of them I am not really impressed with any of the colors.. I REALLY like the electric blue leather, but I never wear leather bands so I cant justify the price of that. Maybe I will pickup the black/platinum nike sport loop or the Tahoe sport loop at some point, but none of them really do much for me unfortunately.

As a side note, I don't know how Midnight Blue always remains in the lineup. It is too dark imo. The Ocean Blue they had last year was a much nicer shade.

If history is any indication, once they are off the website they are gone. The only color that I can remember being revived once it was sold out is Fog. They like to bring colors back with slightly different hues. Denim Blue is very similar to Royal Blue from a few years back, but still not identical.

The electric blue is what I wish my sapphire were.

Anyway, I got the marine green and hot pink loops. Also want pale pink nike sport loop and red raspberry. But it seems redundant. Especially because I already have pink sand loop and electric pink loop

Yep. I figured the rep may not have his information correct. Some of those colors would still have sold if they had more stock. Does anyone have any information on what quantity of bands that make of each color?

Interested to see what the new striped Woven Nylons look like in real life. Only new band which really interests me.

I feel Lemonade, Red Raspberry and Blue Denim are too similar to ones previously released like Flash, Camelia and Azure. I'd really like to see a burgundy and a proper turquoise (like the colour of the band connectors on the Scuba Blue nylon).

).

Yeah, I really like those. But I already have three woven I hardly wear. Hopefully I can get a cheap one on eBay someday.
