I thought you didn’t have any money to upgrade? Yet you drop almost $200 on bands! This is a problem...
I was about to make the video of all 4 of the new bands, but now I kinda feel it’s not necessary.
I got many rare bands to compare but Juan and the lack of feedback just take the energy out of me.

That is a really good orange. I may have to add that to my list. I ordered some third party bands in some of the new colors just to see which ones I will really like (I know they won’t be exact, but close). Once I determine which ones I will wear a lot, I’ll get the OEM. But this orange, I think I’ll have to just go for it - one of my favorite colors.
I’d love to see the comparison, though personally I prefer pics!
Have to agree, Juan's videos are essential viewing as he captures the bands actual colors/appearance. Apple's lighting is God awful. Linen for example looks like it has a hint of purple in it on Apple Website, yet upon receiving mine, it has none. Still like it though. I was on the fence on Coastal Gray because it looked brown, now I'm pretty much sold on it. Seafoam didn't interest me much at first viewing on the website but now I'm not so sure. May have to add those two now to round out the Summer band release and go 4-4. I also like how he described Vitamin-C with the sun with sunglasses. That's a pretty good way to describe it as it's VERY saturated and bright!

“Seafood” doesn’t really interest me much either! Sorry irrelevant post I just thought it was funny as I was reading your post. Stupid autocorrect

This is what happens when the Mac thinks it's smarter than you. Jeez 😂
It really is but that's why I like it.
Coastal Gray at first didn't hit me in the box. But now i kind of like it, it's not that far off from my titanium dark gray band though and my top side doesn't click into my watch well. I have to force it. So rather than exchange it i'll probably just return that one.
I kinda disagree as there are always weird colour fluctuations in his videos making the bands look very different from one moment to the next. I‘m still glad he‘s doing them because he‘s fast to get them out and they are helpful as a „first look“.
What I like best are pictures with comparisons to older bands because I know how those older bands look in real life and so I can judge much better whether the colours in the picture are spot-on. This post for example sold me on the Coastal as I know this is really more or less exactly what Fog, Grey and Khaki look like and so I‘m pretty sure Coastal will really look like this, too:

So UPS has been pleasantly surprising me this week and the loops that I’ve ordered have all come ahead of schedule. I posted a photo of neon pink yesterday and today Vitamin C and surf blue arrived so here is a side by side photo if anyone is interested, taken outside in relatively bright conditions. I have to say I love the mix of bright colour with more neutral on these loops. It’s a perfect pop. If only there was a green one 😫😫😫.
One thing, the grey on Vitamin C is less purple than on the website.

Hi Everyone,
First time joining this forum and this group has been incredible showcasing off all your sport bands and loops and been really helpful showing not only to me but to others your photos and comparisons on the different shades, so firstly thank you all!
I only have the Nike Summit White Sport Loop and I couldn’t decide which Sport Band colour I would wanna get. I’m debating between the Surf Blue, Linen Blue and Vitamin C. Thoughts and which one do you all like between those 3 I mentioned.

So it has been a while since I was on this forum .. Had enough to read now ;-).
My last post was when I bought the Pine Green band, didn't like it and returned it.
After reading all the post I just wanted to buy a new band and liked the pictures of the khaki. Checked the internet on Monday, and unfortunaltly was really sold out everywhere in my country. Tuesday after reading that apple had released 4 new bands, I checked the apple store and yes .. 40mm Khaki available. Ordered quickly and just received it (and after that again sold out on the apple site, so maybe I was just lucky..)
And I really love it! Fortunately less khaki but more towards green. I like it with my series 2 gold aluminum.
To all: Enjoy your new bands!

Has anyone else noticed that the Gray on the Vitamin C sport LOOP is actually Coastal gray?
Or am I just seeing differently? I'd almost call the Vit C sport look Coastal gray since it's the primary color

I think so too, at least from the photos of coastal grey that I’ve seen. When looking at the entire available band and loop lineup it’s quite a cohesive collection.

Khaki is one of my favourites too. I like that warm and earthy shade of green.

I think most people on here would tell you that you should save yourself the headache and get all of them lol.
Crazy how I have nearly 80 bands yet don't have a single one in that photo.
Jealous of your marine, by the way.
Thank you! Sea foam must be really light to make sky blue look that dark! From left to right, royal blue, surf blue, blue gen 2, azure, sky blue, beryl, light grey, soft white:
Yes the effect of comparing light shades does make the contrast stand out.... sky blue is pretty light as you say! My picture was taken with smart lighting at daylight mode. Your pics are much warmer lighting so it’s hard to compare the colours between pictures.

Woohoo, my ‘light pink’ Apple sport band just arrived and I LOVE it! Found on eBay.
Such a pretty color for summer.
I need to learn how to take and post pics!

I don’t want to leave a new poster hanging, but that’s a range of distinctive bands. Surf is quite bright and Vitamin C is very bright, Linen is much more toned down. Honestly I wouldn’t choose any of them as my one Sport Band, but I’ve literally never had only one Sport Band since I realised I just didn’t like the OG Black I ordered with my S0, so don’t use that as a reason not to.
For me the right band depends what I’m doing or where I am going. At work I wear a business shirt and while that doesn’t stop me wearing a bright Sport Band I will only do that if it matches a colour in my shirt. If you don’t need to match with a slightly formal outfit then you‘re good with Vitamin C. Orange is probably easier to wear with anything than a more muted blue, or even a bright blue, so I’d say Vitamin C.
