If only he had a celestial teal band. That's one of my favorites, and it sucks I can't get one.

i‘m so happy with my celestial and got a lot of luck to get it. before i dont like Nike Bands, But the Color is so nice. Two days After Apple stop to sell the Celestial Teal i ordered one from a big German electronic Shop. Shipping time More than Six week, what means they have got no one any more. Suprise, After six week i get the Band. :).

Keep in mind that the usual pattern for ChargerStore is that it takes a week or so to get to the US, and then another week or so getting unpacked from the shipping container and going through customs).
It’s been unpacked. Guess things are fast this time ‘round.

I guess, but I wouldn’t really count the Hermès bands, or really any of the bundle only bands. I would classify “all sport bands” as all bands sold for retail.
Which is fine, but you seem really keen on Light Bone, which is not only a bundle band, but between two already very similar Nike bands.

Not saying you’re right or wrong, and different things are important to different people. Personally I’m not fussed by the bundle bands that are the same as retail ones either - yet at least - but if they are a unique colour like Hermes orange then I do want one.


Anyway, Chargerstore stuff seems to be leaving China very quickly recently, whereas earlier In the year it was taking nearly a week. Nothing seems to be arriving in NZ however. I have orders from the US, UK and Chargerstore from early May that haven’t arrived here yet according to tracking.

Yeah, it's darker than first and second gen product red. I think @emiaj has it mislabeled on the chart, but it doesn't have a product red badge.

The 2nd gen red band (released with series 3) doesn’t have the product red badge on it, but the box of it actually says “product red”. I didn’t separate it from the 3rd gen (released with series 4) because they are the same color and the difference was only the “product red” print on the band.

There has never been a band that’s only “red”. All 3 generations of red bands have the product red branding on their boxes and Apple’s website. So it’s actually not mislabeled on the chart.

All „Red“ bands were sold as (PRODUCT) Red and are labelled like that on the box (but not all on the strap itself). And the 2nd gen. is the darkest. Only Rose Red is darker still.

But you do have all 3 generations on the Chart! Correctly so, as the colour of the 3rd gen is very similar, but not identical to the 2nd gen.
 
I don’t have access to the BST threads yet but i figured I’d ask here despite the long shot. Does anyone have a Sunset Leather Loop in Large they are looking to part with? It’s the only color I’ve been seeking for months that I simply cannot find anywhere. I’ve stumbled across a few Medium sizes but never a Large. If anyone does, please PM me!

That's true, haha... Totally forgot when did I separate all of the variations in the chart.
 
Well I tried my sport loop band again today and I actually like it more than I used to. I used to be a sport band girl until I realized how light this felt on my arm.. thinking of grabbing a few now. What are your favorite colors?

Yes! Loops are some of the best!

My fav new ones are Nike World Indigo & Pink Blast.

Cerulean, Spicy Orange, Flash Light, Cape Cod, Hibiscus, Dragonfruit, Red (v2/two tone) and Nectarine (on sale at amazon now for half off) are all nice.

Sunshine and Vitamin C are some of my go-to favorites right now. For the non solids, Canary Yellow and Hibiscus are also great. Everyone above me suggested it as well, but the Nectarine on Amazon right Now is a killer deal and is likely to sell through somewhat soon as we enter the summer months.
 
I never picked that one up but I'd like to see it in person.

I also really like Red v2 (two tone). It's one of the only 2 tone ones I like.

Don’t do that to me.. it’s literally the only 2-tone I have ever even considered, in truth.

The temptation is largely due to my love of red in general, and the hesitation comes from the feeling that I’d probably always be inclined to wear v1 over v2. It boils down to the fact that I’m a total sucker for the thread mixing format. Fortunately Nike is still at it, or my love affair with the collection of loops would’ve ended a long while ago.

This is one nice comparison video.. and I wonder if the maker is in our little group here?

Both are awesome but I prefer Gen 2 all day. That burgundy hit is too good. Would kill for a full band that color.

Im not only keen on the band. In a perfect world, I’d find someone looking to sell the whole NikeLab watch.

Got it, my apologies! Good to know.

I’ve stumbled across a few Medium sizes but never a Large.
Let me know if you find a medium for a good price! I’ll be on the lookout for a large for ya.
 
A word to EVERYONE in USA.

Guys. Many of you contacted me before to get some of my bands, but shipping due to pandemic made the deal worthless for us. Now we made the deal with toxtrepla and if you want - for some $ for shipping you can join us and your bands would be sent together with his parcel, and he could send them to you afterwards.

Please, if you are interested in this way of delivery - contact me.

@emiaj love the chart, was just wondering today if people here would be interested in a tick-box version for printing and ticking off which ones we owned?

Was also thinking of a collectors' app for tracking all bands, release dates and model numbers? Might start a side project, if anyone is interested helping would love to open it up.

In other news, I have a sealed Midnight Fog loop and used Pride 2017 for trade on the Marketplace forum if anyone is interested - specifically looking for Product Red gen 2 loop, Spearmint SB, or any other colourful Summery bands.

Hahaha a tick-box version would be great! Actually I have a "minimized" version of the chart for myself with only the ones that I own...
There's another thread of creating an app for watch band collectors: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...base-app.2237506/?post=28494590#post-28494590

I like my surf blue Sport loopband quite a lot. It inspired me to combine my leather bands 😁, what do you guys think?

Today is a “pollen” kind of day, both on my wrist and in the air lol. In my opinion this is the best yellow Apple has made. It’s a rich and creamy yellow, with warm, pinker undertones compared to yellows like flash.
