Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[mikedis]

Color predictions for the summer line up? ANYBODY?!

As I've mentioned previously, all Fall 2019 colors will be discontinued. If Nike participates this year, spring colors may disappear as well, though it's unlikely.

Looking at the previous summer releases, I think it's possible we'll see the following:

Sport Bands
- Some form of a seafoam/jade green, a mix between marine and spearmint.
- A bright red, more saturated version of red raspberry, mix between red raspberry and rose red. (Primrose?)
- A medium yellow, similar to Canary.
- If we're lucky, a deep purple, like an indigo/plum color.
- Carrot color (to replace Clementine- Apple has previously kept at least 1 orange-pink option available, so it wouldnt surprise me.)

Sport Loops
- 2-tone style will remain
- Indigo/plum option from the sport band will be carried over.
- Primrose-y color will be carried over.
- Possible yellow, like the Canary sport loop, but with a darker, 2015 yellowish border and a medium yellow second tone
- jade/seafoam color will be carried over

Nike Sport Bands
Possible participation by Nike this season as fall colors will be removed, leaving only 5 options if they don't refresh with new colors.

- Red/Orange combination, sort of a red version of Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue.
- Yellow/Black, a classic spring-y/summer-y color paired with black. Nike & Apple both know it'd sell, and it fits with Nike's recent color palates.
- Flamingo/Vivid Purple color? As Pink Blast gets discontinued, there aren't really any feminine options. Combined with the fact that Summer 2017 gave us Light Violet/White & Violet Dust/Plum Fog, I think this one is quite possible.

Nike Sport Loops
- Going back to @jeremyfernie's magma sport loop concept, I think a red/orange combo, maybe a ditto of the sport band is possible with black borders.
- Yellow/Volt combo within black borders could be possible. Would also maybe be the only sport loop I'd consider buying, because wow, Yellow & Black.
- Apple likes symmetry, so I think the third and final Nike SL will be in that Vivid Purple color. A more saturated and less neon version of Pink Blast.

Leather Loops
- As (RED) proceeds go to fighting COVID for now, I think we may see a Product Red branded leather loop to raise more money.
- A newer, darker version of the previous Storm Gray maybe, could be what the Coastal Gray color is for.
- Meyer Lemon, despite being a Fall 2019 color, will likely remain as it's Apple's go-to for advertising the ceramic S5, and Yellow being a summer color as well, I doubt it's going anywhere.

I have high doubts Apple will be coming out with another blue. Instead, Surf Blue will remain on sale for those interested in a blue. If I'm correct in all of this, which isn't very likely, there truly will be a sport band for everyone, as each color of the rainbow will be offered at once.

And once again, I think the following will be discontinued:

- Clementine SB
- Lemon Cream SB
- Beryl SB
- Pine Green SB
- Alaskan Blue SB
- Khaki SB

- Desert Sand/Black SB
- Royal Pulse/Black SB
- Black/Pink Blast SB
- Midnight Turquoise/Aurora Green SB (maybe)

- Camel SL (good riddance, that thing is ugly)
- Alaskan Blue SL
- Pomegranate SL
- Khaki SL

- Pink Blast/True Berry SL
- Royal Pulse/Lava Glow SL
- Desert Sand/Volt SL
- Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green SL (maybe)

I’m 100% sold on the look of it but am trying to be prudent considering more bands might come next month that I also want.

I'd wait if you're on the fence. It's not getting discontinued any time soon.

Oh, side note, I think with the release of the Series 6, Apple will go through and completely change out all the standard configs.

Pure Platinum/Black and Anthracite/Black may be replaced with other neutral tones and Pink Sand will be discontinued, while black and white bands will stay, as I just can't see Apple discontinuing the longest running color.

Apple wants this to look like a new, different watch, and keeping the same band colors they've had for the past 3+ years now may not be the best way to differentiate the new from the old.

In the tradition of keeping maddeningly close to existing releases, do you think Nike would do a Hyper Violet? Combining Hyper Grape and Light Violet vibes. In this brave new world where I’m expecting Nike to make a white sport band like the pride every six months, I could see hyper violet being a nice entry.

Let me whisper ”tangerine” again over your carrot wishcast 😇

 

[jeremyfernie]

Linen Blue, Coastal Gray, Neon Lime Sport Band, Neon Pink Sport Band

Royal Purple. (Let's go Apple -- partner with the least likely brand haha)

Spicy Orange is officially on the want list. Now to just find one that doesn't cost more than retail...

Also, 20% chance of rain? I'm jealous. Hadn't seen rain in probably 3 months now.

Possible. Sounds more like a fall release though.

Let me whisper ”tangerine” again over your carrot wishcast

Would be more likely, just went through and picked the first orange food item I could think of, because Apple likes to name bands after food.

Royal Purple. (Let's go Apple -- partner with the least likely brand haha)

Would assume Apple would name a similar color Plum or Indigo or something- but still a great color I'd love to see on my watch.

Also nice will ne a transparent Band. Like the Gameboy in the 90th.

I'd like to see more limited/exclusive releases. Sort of like the Rio Olympic woven nylons.

Yes. But how to get it?

 

[mikedis]

So, this is weird...

I got curious and looked up the return address on the box my pride band came in- there's nothing there. It's just a dirt lot on google street view and satellite. The street view was last updated less than a year ago.

wat

 

[JBlass421]

IIRC you're all about the loops when I'm all about the bands, but I still tend to agree. That's probably why I didn't include it in my original list. The holes are green though.

All about the Loops lol. As mentioned before about the whole Spruce Fog topic, I thought it was gray due to thinking of the Loop version not the Sport Band. Well it finally arrived today and I absolutely love it. I know right now the hot topic are the Pride Bands but here are some photos of the Spruce Fog Loop.

 

[Fhotofaerie]

His point is that the Pride Edition bands are made to celebrate Pride, are released to coincide with Pride, are marked with the word “Pride”. To pretend they are not to fit one’s own narrative is to diminish the significance of what Pride is about, and the political ramifications of expressing your association with the LGBT+ community.

I wouldn’t take issue with anyone wearing it primarily because they like the colours, as long as they are not inconsiderate of the fact that it IS a Pride band, not just a Rainbow Band. If someone is made uncomfortable by the LGBT+ association, then maybe that person shouldn’t wear it, cause it is disrespectful to a whole lot of individuals who, throughout their lives, have made the conscious decision to associate with the symbol (and/or the LGBT+ community) regardless of the potential danger that put them in.

As for the original significance of the rainbow, you have to consider that most mythologies seem to have some iconography related to rainbows, some amount of which predate monotheistic views of theology. Regardless of origin though, significance/symbolism changes with the times, and I’d wager that most people would associate the 6-color rainbow (as opposed to the traditional 7-color rainbow used for anything else) with the LGBT+ community. Similarly, you’d be hard pressed to find people in the western world recognizing the swastika as a symbol of divinity and spirituality (as that was its original significance supposedly) because it is now recognized as an immeasurably more vile image.

I mean no other organization takes such starch ownership/membership of color, as I’m wearing a pink band right now but I don’t feel like I’m associating or offending or judged as breast cancer surviver or not. Not the best example but you get it. If they took such a starch one-sided stand with pink I’d get uncomfortable wearing it too if it came such a point of contention. If LGBTQ(IA?) is inclusive and accepting why such feeling to squash any other meaning towards the rainbow is my question. That selfishness is honestly what scares me from sporting rainbow colors myself. It’s like a gentrification of color meaning. As for the other examples the original symbols (crosses, stars) remain in their original meanings. As for the swastika I’m not knowledgeable enough to recall if it had previous meaning before it was adopted by a more nefarious crowd. The Bible holds proven historical accuracies, whether you take a spiritual standing through it or not is not in question so I wouldn’t throw it in the mythical pile. If I were to wear a cross and go out and see other people using it or tattoing it for example (can other people get rainbow tattoos? 🤔) for decorative purposes I wouldn’t have the slightest inclination of offense towards it, an invert cross I see as a sign of disrespect - as you would if another party took and inverted the rainbow to mean the opposite, but as far as people wearing a rainbow for there own reasons or likes, I hardly find offensive. I hate I’m discussing this in the wrong thread I’m so sorry dudes. Much love. I’m officially shutting my pie-hole. Damn whoever brought this up here.

In that case I’d need close to all of them 😭💸💸

- Flamingo/Vivid Purple color? As Pink Blast gets discontinued, there aren't really any feminine options.

In all my years, I still have not run across a color that has genitalia. What makes a color intrinsically feminine or masculine? Pastel, or fully saturated, light, or dark, those things are intrinsic to a color. Along with hue, of course.

Make it Vivid Purple with Flamingo as the accent color, and I’d totally wear it.

Pink Blast/Black is one of my favorite bands.

 

[doccho]

I wish I could see Apple's Infra Red. I think Apple can make us see the color as did with Ultra Violet in Fall 2017.
If it'd cover bit over "Total Orange" in its shade of color, it'd be perfect for me (TO's not been released, though.)

My azure band which I ordered from
Chargerstore came in today. I’m not sure yet how much I love it - it might just be paling in comparison to the pride band that also came today - but here is a photo in comparison to delft and surf.

Azure on the bottom, delft in the middle and surf on the top.

Azure does not stand out in a sea of blues. it works very nicely on its own, as a subtle blue. And I’m fond of pairing it with Mint.

Spruce is always underrated. I’m primarily into neutral colors and this is in my top 5 loops of all time. Tied with Celestial for me.

As someone who also collects game boys.... my head would explode. In the best way possible. Atomic Purple?

 

[mikedis]

Do any of you have Orange and can share photos? I always thought it was practically red, but this video shows it as almost exactly what I’m looking for.

Clementine, Spicy Orange, Orange, and Papaya added to the wishlist...

Nice! Celestial is very nice also almost like a blue jean ish color. Now you got me interested in that color as well. I’m interested in knowing what your top 5 Loops are.

 

[athousandbands]

From the department of bands I’d never thought I’d get until I had the ceramic white...mist blue. As expected not yellow like the watch face color! You all were discussing a flamingo on eBay for cheap, but the seller also had this one brand new for the same $17

 

[jwlbel]

We should start a list (somewhere privately) of bands that we are searching for. That way we could all look out for each other, instead of posting it here and someone else swooping in and grabbing it.


Top 2 I am looking for are, the Nike cargo/khaki 44mm and black with white holes 44mm

That looks great with the ceramic. But then most if not all sport bands look great with the ceramic!

Really sad they only had it in 38mm- I saw that too. Wanted the color, but I need 42mm.
