I bought a new Nike S5 last week and the stock band doesn’t click in correctly on the bottom side. It’s going to take an hour+ trip to an Apple store to -hopefully- get it replaced.
Got a tip for us?

Try to slide it in place where it should be and press the button on the watch (which usually releases the band). It could “un-stuck) the tiny spring within the band’s connector and it would start “clicking” normally
my pride band has to be placed in very slowly and it will click into place, but if I’m not careful it slides right by.
9AM Eastern Time... still no band press release. That’s been the time lately for their press. Pride bands were already available for sale by now . They might be holding off not to take away from all of the protest news.
I actually wish these Sport Loops were not one colour on one side and a different colour on the other as often, the nicer colour is hidden from view!!
Is that the leather loop short end, I have found that this part of the band can be reversible but only latches in one orientation, try turning it over
Maybe it was always Tuesday...Monday could have been just to accommodate the keynote Tuesdays the last few years? I mean I know they’re not exactly dying to have people look at them on display/pickup but the whole “ship to store on Monday for Tuesday sales” thing might have some logic, somewhere?
Maybe the guy responsible for selling watch bands called in sick today.
So I actually dreamed last night that new bands were released (that’s what I get for reading this forum before bed I guess) and there was a new green sport band called “a good green” lol.
Looters news* Everytime I turn on the news it’s a masked thug breaking into a bank or whatnot. But that’s the news for ya, glorifying the negative.
But no news for us? Eh, I have mixed feelings. Mankind is a bit upside down at the moment, I don’t expect anything to be normal but not swallowing that new normal wash either.

😂 I think we can all agree, but do we agree on what a good green is I wonder?
Just follow this guy to the end of the (non-pastel) rainbow! For some reason he wasn’t arrested this weekend...
Ugh, I need a S5. I love your photos- the colors really pop with those faces. Closest I can come to that on a S1 is the color watch face, and that face doesn't look quite as good as yours!

I've seen that guy before. He tried to lure me down an ally way and sell me some "Magically Delicious Cocaine."
In all seriousness though I think we can agree there’s a pretty narrow range on the green we want/need/deserve. Call it kelly or emerald or limerick or peat...it’s basically a more saturated, slightly darker spearmint.
I’d even take racing green, though that’s prob a tad too dark to earn the “good” designation.

quick mock-up, the watch got adjusted with the bath water FYI

Was the base color Spearmint? It's vibrant like spearmint, yet a much better shade. I like it.
Yeah spearmint...which weirdly doesn’t resemble mint that much once I start seeing it with the lens of the Pixelmator sliders. And a very quick and dirty search reveals that in fact there’s no distinction in nature between spearmint and mint color wise...leading me to believe Apple’s rendition of spearmint is more Wrigley’s than nature. I guess peppermint factors in somewhere here
So no new bands today. sad. impatient. sad.
My wallet isn't sad.. it's still in a spring depression
