Thanks! And don’t mean to spam this thread but looking at more pictures of oranges I think I can make a definitive list now, left to right:
1st gen product red, rose red, red raspberry, pink, orange, apricot. I have pink and papaya coming, hopefully this week, so I should be able to compare them against the bands soon. The last one I think I ruled out papaya based on the lugs in pics I’ve seen of it.
I think you nailed it. Definitely not papaya comparing it to my own and based on the 42 marking (whereas papaya was 44). Pink is always hard on the lighting. It’s why its one of my favorites. Pink or Orange depending on the light at the moment. Side note, Apricot is gorgeous.

Does anyone here own Navy/Tahoe Blue woven nylon band or any color of woven nylon band for that matter? What’s your feedback on it? I know it’s a no longer talked about band much but I’m considering buying one in navy/Tahoe blue so just wanted to hear some feedback from you guys first.

I picked up a Gold/Red for a few bucks to see how they are.

I had trouble connecting it on my S5, but it worked ok on an S3 & S4 so I'm not sure if the bands was defective?

Anyways, it is fine, but I don't like the old style watch connector. I prefer the ones on all the other bands.

Some of the blues looked nice, I was interested in Scuba Blue because that color didn't seem to be represented in the other styles of bands.
 
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I’m getting the Navy/Tahoe Blue and Black woven nylon bands new in box for a steal so don’t want to pass it up. I’ll be happy with just those two colors for that style of band.

I’ve had the same issues! Wasn’t sure if it’s my watch or what. Was it just sliding though, not locking? That’s the issue I’ve had. Maybe these ebay bands were defective. If I wiggled it enough it would lock but in a rush no luck.

I love woven nylons. Comfortable, yet classic design. Great color options, too. Though I do know the older connector shape can be difficult with S4 and up. Not a problem on my S1 though.

One of my favorite colors! Was happy to find one for $7 a while back.

Would love to see it for at least a photoshoot
Will take some shots when I get home if nobody beats me to it.

here’s where I got mine:

Nike Band Concept - Activity.png

Activity Edition Nike Sport Band. Just another little concept, inspired by Nike Pride 2020. (Note: I didn't go to the extent of showing the half-depth colouring in the perforations, but you get the idea.)
 
Close Your Rings 2021 maybe?

That looks awesome. I’d definitely buy it at any price.

Yeah that name makes the most sense, except that if we call it that, then only apple employees get a shot at it. Us lesser folk will have to pay a premium to get it second hand!

That‘a literally my entire rationale for the name being more in-line with the Pride 2020 format haha

My second copy of red/gold (gold buckle) has major issues sliding into my s4...remember the female area of the s4/5 is a little steeper and different depth and these woven nylon lugs suffer the most as the band part doesn’t exert a ton of force like even the sport loops do...I can’t tell if it’s the plastic not being shaved down enough or what but I always manage to get it in and and then have to go a little sword in the stone to get it out.

And then I have another woven nylon where the middle button is actually kinda falling out of the bottom and I have to tuck it up to get the lug to slide in. Sometimes sliding from the left works better?

As for that Tahoe nylon I find it pretty drab, reminds me of an old hand me down tie from my dad. I have Tahoe stripe coming soon once usps wakes up from this sudden nightmare they seem to be having with all my $20 Mercari finds, it seems more watery beautiful like the Tahoe loop.
