So... I have a watch band problem.... i saw the close your rings band and it was like a drug! I couldn't stop thinking about it. So... 200 miles later. love love love my close your rings band!
You and me both! I use it as extra motivation for myself, only allowing myself to wear it on Monday's if I closed my rings every day the previous week. It then works as motivation to close them all the current week.

I have 38mm and I live in Europe... Here a lot of them spring bands are already selling out... So if you live in the US, I highly recommend you to grab the bands you like when they're available.

These are the spring colors that are already sold out here:
Sport Loop: All 4 colors of spring
Nike Sport Loop: Midnight Fog, Cargo Khaki
Sport Band: All 3 colors of spring
Nike Sport Band: Black/White 38mm, Cargo Khaki/Black, Barely Rose/Pearl Pink
Woven Nylon: Pink Stripe 38mm, Blue Stripe 38mm, Gray Stripe 42mm

Since they're marked as "Sold Out" here, I suppose they would sell out in other markets sooner or later, and eventually all these colors would disappear in autumn. (Just my opinion from past experience, still regret that I missed out the Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue, which is nowhere to be found now)
My wife wanted a new Apple Watch band and chose the White Woven Nylon. I took that as an excuse to throw a Nike Black/White Sport Band in there for myself before it sells out too.

My navy blue woven nylon genuine for my 38mm came from eBay

Looks great imo and the dark blue lug blends in well with SG watch... significantly better than the pearl I had and sharpied the other parts of the lug :D

I also have the black woven nylon that should be here tomorrow

(Weird reflection on bottom right of
Watch face that isn't actually a deep scratch like it looks)

(this one shows off how it looks in different lighting well, can be light or dark haha)

Does anybody got the product numbers for the 1st gen and 2nd gen blue Sport bands? These are not distinguished in V2 of the picture (which has product numbers), but can be seen in V1.

I just got one off eBay, and I'm wondering if I got the 1st or the 2nd gen.

I think the really rare color would be soft pink 42mm classic buckle leather band... Sold out almost everywhere, never seen in a wild, never caught on eBay...

Just a quick question. What is the difference between these two classic buckle bands and are these prices a good deal at this point? Any pictures of these with SGS?

MPWV2ZM/A (42,50€)
MMAJ2ZM/A (46,50€)

No reply, so ordered both. Will have to see the difference by myself. ;)

Thank you very much! Do you have both of them? :)

@choreographics Would you like to update the V2 image to distinguish between those two? They have two different shades of blue, like the PRODUCT (RED) ones.

@choreographics @emiaj I think you got the name of two of the Woven Nylon bands wrong: there are two bands named "Black Stripe" and one named "White Stripe", but on Apple's website they are just called "Black" and "White". The second "Black Stripe" (with the finer strips) is correct.

I get my info off the amazing charts and helpful people here in the group. Yes I have both blues in 38mm size. In fact I have everything in the sport band line (38mm only) Except the Dark Olive! I can’t find that one anywhere. HELP! LOL

View attachment 765531 Some of my “holy Grails”... Pride 2017, unreleased Chinese New Year of Chicken, International Collection Netherlands, Japan, China and South Africa, demo Edition Midnight Blue, San Francisco Pride maraphone, Nikelab and Ceramic Edition Cloud band...

Wow! Those are wonderful. Especially touched by those simple two-color international bands. Thanks!

Loving my pride band, got to get the marine band ASAP! View attachment 765196

Beautiful.
[doublepost=1529807408][/doublepost]
Adding in the 3 newest colors for Summer, getting a 3rd bin set, and reorg’ing the colors based on how they appear in person, my 50 Sports and 15 Nike Sports now look like this. I think the blues are the most difficult to order chromatically...

I aspire to such a level of organization.

Out of curiosity, have you ever considered collecting every Apple Watch colour as well?
Nah...Space Gray / Space Black doesn't interest me and to me, the silver looks too basic. I did get the first gen stainless steel Apple Watch but sold that as soon as the Rose Gold Sport was introduced (partly bc the stainless steel was too heavy, but I also didn't like its screen in the sun vs the Ion-X Sport watch's screen).
