I agree with mikedop, that looks like Ocean. Royal Blue is way lighter in person than any of the original marketing shots.
Royal and Denim are the only two I often mistake for one another. Without a direct comparison, it’s hard to tell which is which. Denim is definitely more green and slightly lighter, but it’s a hard guess on it’s own.

I just scored a deal locally. 4 bands for $40. Now I need your expert help. My first question is, what color blue is it? It is the 2nd to bottom blue between the denim on the bottom and blue horizon. My guess compared to the chart is delft blue or maybe royal blue?
I’m gonna go with Delft Blue. Was gonna guess Blue Cobalt, but just refreshed my memory with the giant Apple Watch Bands graphic that is the foundation of this thread, and Delft looks much more likely. Darker than Royal Blue, lighter than Alaskan Blue, Ocean Blue, Blue Horizon, Blue Cobalt, and Midnight Blue (either version). Also fairly well saturated, where many of the darker ones are closer to blue-gray.

Today was a good band day for me. I just went and checked my mail to find my Ultra Voilet. Next up, will be my cargo khaki Nike either tomorrow or Sat. Then the bone Nike from ChargerStore. After that, I only need 3 more Nike's bands to complete my collection.
  • Flat Silver/White
  • Black/White
  • Barely Rose/Pearl Pink

I ordered the Nike Pride sport band on May 19th and it said delivery would be June 11 - June 18.

I just got an email today that it will be delivered tomorrow, May 29th!

That was a pleasant surprise. :)
Yeah after a really strange peak-covid week where my iPad keyboard sat at Preparing to Ship for 7 days and then came (SoCal) from the repair depot in Pennsylvania, operations seems to be back on their under promise, overdeliver steez. Which means we should be good to go for this summer capsule (please god no waterproof bubble leather loops) @jeremyfernie has me convinced won’t be held up by the supes lateskies Dub Dub key-key.

Can someone show some pics of the Nike bands (did they only come with the watch?) like Black/White, Black/Gray, & Flat Silver/Volt on a Space Gray watch?

Ugh I wish that was my experience. I am waiting on one band that was supposed to be delivered more than a week ago and another that was supposed to be delivered yesterday. I wish they would just go back to having an option to do paid shipping so things theoretically come faster.

We still do have them in Germany, but prices (retail!) are weird - like 75 EUR instead of regular (that time) 59 EUR

HOW do you guys do make such deals... I am shocked
are you saying you can get a new boxed Hibiscus sport band for around 75 EUR? in both sizes? I may be VERY VERY interested in that

Well, since everyone’s posting their latest eagerly-awaited arrivals, this arrived late yesterday. I’m having trouble getting decent pics, but it’s fabulous. The leather feels luxurious, looks lovely, the stitching and construction is immaculate, and it fits well. And, it smells like really good leather - I should have been able to guess that, but it hadn’t occurred to me. Another in the “hadn’t guessed” category: it’s harder to put on and take off than any of my other bands - not because it’s objectively difficult, but because all the others are so easy.

Photos were taken at different times, but I love them all.

Edit: Black/Cool Gray, Flat Silver/White, and Flat Silver/Volt were all exclusive to the Nike watch. Light Bone/Black was exclusive to the Nikelab version. Black/Volt was originally exclusive to the watch, but was later sold separately before being discontinued. Every other color not mentioned above was sold separately.

Are you serious?
ugh yeah denim and royal are incredibly similar.
Again, are you serious? Royal is waaaaayy more intense than Denim.

This^^^^
Well, the first sentence anyway. I don't have Delft or Ocean yet (hurry the f' up couriers), but to my recollection from photos Delft is mid - dark and very rich, whereas Ocean looks dark but "meh", sort of a lighter version of "mehdnight". Actually I do agree with all of it, I just didn't ever think it could be Cobalt.

Yeah, there's a reason those are all on the list of Nike's I still don't have and those pics confirm it. Sorry.

That doesn't mean I don't want to buy them at some point of course - at least other than Black / White and Desert Sand / Black which my wife has and that is good enough for me.

Did YOU steal my peach! I keep missing out or getting outbid on them.

It is! And @jwlbel is right, I don’t see it anymore 🙁 mine is two equal sized drawers. There are other models, made by sorbus.
