I would just Call Apple just in case. Don’t want to risk not dealing with it and having issues down the line. They are likely to offer quicker shipping than returning/re ordering.
Got a tip for us?

Tried that and every other thing I can think of. Finally called Apple and am exchanging it.

Exactly. They said once they have confirmation it’s in the mail they will send out a new one expedited. My usual excitement about Watch related things has waned a bit - between crappy delivery and now product issues, my enthusiasm is dampened. Even if new watch bands do come out next week, who knows when they’d actually arrive. lol. I know. I’m being melodramatic. I just need a moment.
Does anyone have both the Pomegranate and Hibiscus Sport Bands so I can see a side-by-side of the colors? I have a Pomegranate coming and I’m not sure they are different enough to warrant searching for an Hibiscus.
Here you go.
Had both of them. Pomegranate is my favourite over Rose Red, and Red Raspberry is my favourite over Hibiscus...
Here you go.
Pomegranate is a beautiful color and hibiscus really pales next to it.
Speaking of red raspberry, could someone post a comparison between pomegranate and red raspberry
and then red raspberry vs hibiscus...
Id like to see how these three interact with one another
Here you go.
Thanks! They are a lot more different than I thought they’d be. Haven’t seen any Hibiscus out in the wild, but I have a boxed Pomegranate arriving probably next week.
Pomegranate is lovely. I don’t have any other strong pinks to compare it to for you, but people have described it as a cross between dragon fruit and rose red and based on photos I’ve seen I think that’s accurate.
Thanks for taking the time to photo, but it must be your eyes or mine. There is a marked difference between Royal and Denim to my eyes IRL, and also in this photo of them. You really didn’t need to label them for me to tell them apart correctly.
I do agree Royal was a huge disappointment when I saw it, but Denim was well named and (while denim comes in a huge range of colours) matches what I think of as “regular” denim used in jeans pretty well. I wouldn’t even consider wearing jeans the colour of Royal blue.

Again, significant difference between Royal and Denim. Surely it’s not just me who is seeing this?
Go for it! I’m not far behind you though I don’t had a Lilac yet, and several of mine are still stuck in the 19th century-like global shipping system we now have. Midnight Blue 2 is out for delivery now, but “yay” for that one just bought for completeness.

I don’t have many regrets, but alas - not getting raspberry red is one.

What a lovely family ❤️
For a band I was lukewarm about initially, Pine Green is looking particularly good in this photo.
DragonFruit beats them all.
Found a pretty good deal on various apple bands at $17.99 and Nike sport bands at $22.99 from the following eBay listing. Listings for both 38mm and 42mm. I haven’t purchased from them but they have a great feedback rating.

I’m saving this as a companion piece to the Bible composition that gives this thread its humble purpose
I feel productive. Did some last minute docs work and the universe rewarded me with some rare-ish woven nylons for $10 each. Got a Red / Gold and a Toasted Coffee / Caramel.
Here are all of them: Pomegranate on the very left, Red Raspberry in the middle (attached to the card), Hibiscus - on the right (a bit lower than other bands).

Great pics - for future reference, could I persuade you to edit the post and add which color is which? People like to use this thread as a reference.
I got the Toasted Coffee / Caramel one locally a couple of months ago for what passes for cheap here (about half retail) NIB. I wore it one day. Ick. My least favourite band ever. Very flesh toned when I put it on.
I got my delivery of Midnight Blue 2. In really good light, comparing both side by side, 2 is fractionally lighter than 1. I didn’t even take it out of the box. Typical that of the 22 bands still not delivered the single one I’m least excited about managed to get through the crazy long shipping issues quicker than any other.
I did find someone on eBay with genuine bands poorly described for not a lot and picked up what I think is a Pink woven nylon for my wife (were they blue on the inside with yellow lugs?). Also a pink in 42mm m/l only. I say pink with a small P as the colour wasn’t mentioned. I’m thinking (hoping) it’s Vintage Rose, but it might be Light Pink.
It's annoying when you pay $52.43 for something that's not done right when a $2 knockoff might be working fine.
I wasn't happy with the quality of some loops & returned one at the store...they wouldn't at first but finally did the right thing.
Hello all! I’ve been reading all of your post since page 1 recently, and thanks to you all my collection of bands went from 8 to 65 😄, I do not write too much because my English is not very good but for sure is very good to read all of your opinions and tips and to see pictures of the bands... I’m here asking for help if anybody is in England, recently I got into the leather loops and I’m looking for the Sunset and Cornflower (size M) I found the cornflower at the Apple website on England, I’ve a friend coming to US in October, and really would like to buy that band and get it shipped to him in Barcelona, Spain.. thanks! Or if anybody is selling any of this
