There are a lot of third party colors I would like to see Apple recreate, most especially in the Nike bands. As @jeremyfernie has shown, the new pride hexicolor design opens up many new possibilities, and I’m excited to see the future of the sport bands.

Who knows, Apple May even be releasing new Nike SB and regular SB this summer utilizing the same stripe and “Froot Loops” styles as the Pride bands. Really not sure how good normal striped bands may be.

Of course, I say that, but a sport band version of my Berry stripe woven nylon (which I happen to be wearing right now) would be pretty cool.

Berry stripe! You didn’t show that one in your photo of your woven nylon bands yesterday lol. You must really like them! Can’t wait for mine to come in

I want to say “Oh, that’s cool.” but the kid in me can’t think of anything other than “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

I’m excited about the release of new colours too, though even if there isn’t anything I particularly want I’m happy with the two pride bands I’ve just bought.

If you want a photo of ALL my nylons, I can take one in about an hour when I get home.

Pride Nike is still stuck in processing, but I should have it by next week. Really just want to see some cool colors this summer. Anything Nike I’ll be buying. Also hope for a new yellow.

Now that I’ve received the Pride Nike band and am enjoying it so much, I contemplated buying the black/white Nike band from Chargerstore last weekend. I think it’s so mod and punchy! But I’ve decided to be good and wait to see what is released next. Have they ever released a product red colour Nike with white holes? I think that would be very sharp. Fingers crossed you get a good yellow! 🤞🏼

Red Nike with white or black holes would be cool. Now I want one...

I feel like the spring bands were just released....I wasn’t really expecting any new colors until the fall. I’m not saying I would be opposed to it though 😁

Does anyone know all of the Nike reflective Sport loops? I think I have all of them but then I started having doubts about whether or not Mauve and Olive Flak, which I don’t have, are reflective. I really like these bands paired with my bright yellow ASICS and reflective shorts and shirts for running late at night.

Anything starting series 4/post fall 2018 (including mauve and flak from that season) is reflective.
 
Would that mean anything marked 40mm or 44mm? Genuine question - I know nothing about the loops. Did pre-S4 loops (or bands) get changed to the new sizes for post Sep'18 production?
Correct, post-S4 bands are marked 40mm/44mm with the exception of very very late production Summer 2018 bands.

So I know that new bands from September 2018 on had the new sizes, and looking at the chart now that was (not by coincidence I expect) when a lot of the long time bands moved to a new generation [Product] Red, Black, White and Midnight Blue for example (I can't believe I never noticed that until now). Most other colours were replaced around that time.

What about Fog, which looks to have run on until Winter 2018 before being discontinued? I'm going to guess there are no Fog bands in 40/44mm, and that being the case, all 40/44mm Nike loops would be reflective, and no 38/42mm Nike loops would be reflective. Probably.

Actually, standard config bands (Black, White, Fog, etc) sold with the Series 3 still have 38mm/42mm inscriptions, so I think the S3 with Fog Sport Band was sold until Winter.

Anyways, if it has the new box design, it’s a 40/44. Personally I prefer the old box design, though.
 
Just caved and ordered a Surf Blue SB from Amazon Warehouse... hopefully it looks as vibrant as photos make it seem! Have always wanted a richer blue than Blue v1, but lighter than Royal Blue (which I still kick myself for not buying at the time)... fingers crossed this is it.

Surf blue is gorgeous. Vibrant but not neon. Hope you love it.
 
Hi guys, as promised I bought several demo products of Apple Watch S6 new leather loop. Actually I don't like it as the current leather loop :D

Would love to see it on wrist as mentioned above. Curious the magnet strength too. I will say that I would LOVE a red leather loop in its current form. I also really dig the secondary tone on the sides. The white and brown one is slick.

Overall though I can’t say I love these. The bubble size is massive.

Massive thank you to @toxtrepla for helping me find the last band I was missing, this community is amazing!
Happy to help!!!

Wow, that is super, super interesting. I’m out of the loop (no pun intended...) a bit and haven’t been following the thread too closely, how were these discovered? Must be super rare to be able to obtain prototypes!!

Though I do agree, I prefer the current style. That red colour is beautiful however.
 
That band was only released on Hermès’s website I think... I couldn’t find an image with good quality for this band for the complete chart either, which is a shame... same goes with all those special bands for employees, had to photoshop most of them...

Thanks for clarifying. Things happens when you take "some days off". 🥺.

Photoshop seems to be the way to go then, even if I would prefer to have the original images only. The special bands for employees or the Nike Sport Band Light Bone/Black are done and added, the only two missing now are
  1. Hermès Single Tour Étain Swift Leather
  2. Hermès Double Tour Médor Deep Blue Swift Leather
I am ready to put the finishing touches on the new chart.

I am wondering if this is the new Leather Loop, or maybe a new type of a more affordable leather band. 🤔

I agree, I love the reflective ones!

Already answered, but I know Mauve is.
