Apple Watch band offerings expand for spring 2017—"in striking new colors". Unfortunately I am few days off, but will post an update (of the the infographic) as soon as possible.
Maybe on Sunday already. Stay tuned!

I bet we all cannot wait to see the updates chart. I recommend putting it in spectral order; white, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, grey and black.

I do not know if I have mentioned it before. But I am on mission to collect all the blue sport bands. I have blue, light (sky) blue and turquoise. I have turned my focus to collecting Royal Blue. I cannot seem to find a small 42mm anywhere on the interweb. I was hopeful some of you have seen them anywhere?

If you want ALL blue sport bands from Apple, you have quite some shopping to do yet. Other than the royal blue there is lilac, ocean blue, midnight blue and the brand new azure. Funnily enough, I have all of these but none of those that you have. :)

Yeah I going in order from oldest to newest. Ocean and Midnight are easy enough to get. I thought Lilac was part of the Violet family?

The name might lead you to think so, but it is actually a pretty straight, very light blue.

I own this band and see it as a violet, not a blue. To be honest, it's probably both! They're so great at selecting colorways that straddle different color families.

I like their violet because it reminds me of the violet used in Solaris, and the classic Mac OS Platinum appearance scroll thumbs. ^_^

Thanks for continuing to work on this! It really is such a valuable reference. :)

Have you (and others) noticed that all three new Sport bands, as well as some of the other new bands, are labeled with "This color is available for a limited time only"? I don't remember ever seeing a disclaimer for bands directly from Apple itself. It makes me feel like this new batch isn't a "spring collection" in the traditional sense.

Solaris the film or the OS? Not really liking an of the new sport bands. But I am dying to own the Pollen nylon band along with the new Tahoe Blue and Orange.

Solaris the OS! They were fond of a shade of violet that they used prominently as the desktop background and in other design elements.

I've got all of the "guy" colors except for the new Azure Blue and Pebble.
What makes them guy colors? I wear the Light Pink sports band sometimes and it's fabulous. Wear what you like, colors won't make you masculine or feminine.

(Fun fact, the pink for girls / blue for boys association was unheard of before about a century ago, and an early iteration had the exact opposite colors: “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” - circa 1918.)

You own quite a few bands that are easily unisex. I have seen plenty of females where some of the brighter colors that you own. I wouldn't go as far as saying they're all guy colors. And what defines a "Guy" color?

This.

@CarlJ - I read your post and had to double-check I didn't post it :D I've written almost verbatim elsewhere!

I too own the Light Pink sport band and agree. Depending on what it's paired with, it can look excellent; it's perhaps not as versatile as the white or black sport bands in terms of what it will look great with.
