Here’s to hoping Hermés does more SBSS hardware options.
Here’s to hoping they don’t! 😂 I don’t need to be tempted by Hermès any more. I’d like to see Apple start supporting SBSS/Space Gray better, though.

I think a collection as big as ours should deserve to be displayed rather than shoved in a box (Will give you the benefit though, it is a clear box.)
Clearly, the proper solution is to print out the giant All Apple Watch Bands image at 1:1 scale on poster board, mount it on a (2-story tall) wall, and attach your bands with little 3D-printed mounts, on top of the corresponding images.

Me, I live in a tiny place. Space, including wall space, is at a premium. I’ll need to go with a box for now. ;)

I think my proudest deal of all, barring the sport band deal for 12 or 14 dollars, is when I found my link bracelets. I purchased a silver and a space black link bracelet from the same seller at the same time for $100 each! I was sure they weren't going to be real, but as soon as I got them, I checked them out, looked for all the markings, all the pieces and sure enough, both were genuine brand new with the sticky tape still attached to them. Best $200 dollars spent!
 
Ok. If I could go back in time I probably wouldn’t have bought the Lime blast. It’s less of a sharp green than I though.

If you bought it directly from apple, you can still return it within 14 days of your local store reopening.

How did you score that?
This app called OfferUp which seems not to care if you don’t process payment through them and give them their commission. How this guy was offering it for whatever he was offering at first (maybe 245?) remains a mystery. Maybe just a gift he or someone else got? I guess it’s my “local score,” as he drove it down and I paid cash. Whoever he got it from maybe just wanted a quick hundred or something?

Are you serious?

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.

They are *incredibly* similar in-person.

Here's Delft, Royal, and Denim. Apologies that the picture is a little blurry, but the colors are there. Manual white balance on the background.

In all the marketing pictures of Royal Blue from 2016, I think it looks closer to how Delft actually turned out in person.

It is not delft in the original picture, that's gotta be Ocean.

Yes delft royal and denim. As I’ve finally got the pacific ‘green’ I am almost ready to make another wide picture of the spectrum of blues, not forgetting midnight this time. Wisely I should wait until the summer releases too.

Sorry I am back. I just got a flu and tested to make sure that was not covid.

This blue leather loop is very Apple-like. It's comfortable to wear. The "pills" are actually not much emerging. This loop is more breathable than the current leather loop and it is waterproof. The only problem is that wearning it is a little unsecured as there is no pin or lock, just the two pieces attached.

Meh. I'll pass.

Glad you're safe, though!

It's a story. Many local shops in my country Vietnam imported apple watch accessories from China. Here they are selling even discontinued bands in brandnew condition at very cheap price. i.e the utra violet band in original sealed box is sold at 16-17$. That sounds crazy huh?

Last week when I visited one of my fav band store. The boss there showed me some photos of this leather loop band and he said it would be released along with AW S6. He told me if I liked he would ordered some to the store and we can hand on them. Yesterday I received the loop from him, he gave me for free because I often helped him with his busines. And that's it.

The problem is Apple possibly knew it. There are many shop ordering these loops too but today they take them down the shelves. That store boss told me to keep and enjoy using it, but don't sell it because I might get trouble. I don't know if Apple reported the case to our local authority :D
 
Ugh. Got my Pride rainbow band and one of the bands, the one with the holes that I usually wear on the bottom of the band is refusing to lock in. I tried it at the top and it locks there but nothing doing at the bottom. Any ideas before I call Apple?

I've had a band here or there that do it. If you slide in and pull gently away from the watch while sliding I usually get a click

I wonder if you could ask your local shop owner to ask his supplier if he knows anything about the next batch of bands to be released.
