Personally I’m not a fan of gold ‘colour’ stainless steel...new screen size could be interesting though. Watch face looks kinda busy from the image.

I’m intrigued by the gold SS. Wonder if this would be the new Hermès or Edition of this series.

The good thing with complications is you can turn them off. So the face could really just have 4 to 6 max if 9 is too many

Yeah will be interesting see which way they go with this...I don’t think it’ll be reserved as an edition....I would think they’d want to use the new hotness to push people from the aluminium into the SS

so what colors do you expect them to drop for this fall selection of watch bands? do you think they are going to roll out a new kind of band that we have yet to see?

I expect some sort of green, probably another variant of the olive. Maybe lighter.

And the same goes for a brown.

I also hope they re release the ultra violet or a similar one. That was amazing.

Also, a medium gray. So far we always had either dark ones or very light versions, with the concrete being the most “medium” one, but too warm. The gray I bet they’re going to do is a darker version of the fog. Let’s say a 50% cold gray.

I also expect a dark yellow mustard color. It’s autumn and it’s time for darker and warmer colors, and this is a tone that has never been offered by Apple.

Lastly I hope that they bring back the black with stainless steel pin (non space gray).

Color wish list, as usual, yet never comes to fruition:
- ‘mustard’
- ‘Merlot’ or a maroon
- ‘rust’ or a great brown color
- Kelly green which is great for spring or summer

<Sigh>.....

Hopefully they will surprise you this season. I would love to see some of those colors. Especially the Mustard. My favorite leather band color is Sunflower

I think it’s highly unlikely they will change the connector. Also, I tend to lean toward the watch body itself may remain the same with screen updates. AND I’m guessing EVERYone has more than one band anymore...that’s the whole Apple Watch population if you think of it that way. Apple may think smartly and know that a slight redesign of the body itself without altering the connectors is best. We’ll see next Wednesday tho — hang in there. ;)

I usually watch the Keynote via my iPad (while I may or may not be on meetings at work, sometimes), but I typically set a meeting notice for me and my coworker David and we manage to catch it while it goes on. Anyone else plan to chit-chat here as things unfold?
 
You guys!!

My ego is decimated. I paid $48 for this 38mm spicy orange sport loop... I've never paid nearly MSRP for any real band, but its also my first sport loop. I had a neon yellow knockoff on eBay and one of the magnets never stayed on so got a refund and never used it...

used a gift card my brother had given me, so :D

I am also an ORANGE fiend (have apricot sports band, and space orange woven nylon on the way as mentioned in previous post, for when looking for something more subdued, and this now of course)!

And a lot of you guys in this thread make me feel less guilty about my weakness for official bands since Ive seen some of you go off the deep end lets say lol

FWIW, Most of the sport loop color variants look meh to me, but spicy orange is an immediate WOW for me! I dunno what apple's doing with their color choices in general but.

(it pairs well with my Ultra Violet silicone case too in an odd way, one of my favorite silicone color variants as well -- never seized the chance to get a official spicy orange silicone, oh well cant catch em all)

Glad I got it! Hope its comfy af like I've been reading people raving about. Im partial to the woven nylons over the sport bands in general even though I Have a white/black/apricot of those too. I'm excited to put this through its paces.

Theres also like almost no colors, bleak or otherwise, available in sport loop in my area. A serious drought of supply.


Also - in case anyone is curious - heres the Zelda watch face wallpaper link:

I was able to locate a brand new Sport Loop 38mm Tahoe Blue from an authorized Apple dealer for my daughter. She is going to be hyped when I surprise her with it :D

Macy’s.com?

They have flash and Tahoe blue for 42mm

If you were to get a second with SG sport watch which would it be of these sport loops?
Flash
Black or Nike Black
Seashell
Tahoe blue

Those are all the ones I think are pretty nice

I really think I nailed it finding a spicy orange

Macy’s only has the 38mm Sport Loop in Black. smalldog.com has the Sport Loop in Tahoe Blue.

Give Tahoe Blue a try. It’s a nice, neutral color.

Tahoe Blue is the last one that 'really' does it for me. its rarity makes it more fresh to me too (like spicy orange and flash, which I already like anyways-- you see everyone wearing the same sport bands for the most part, and not even loop that often but when it is its the same couple)

I see a VG genuine one on eBay for $40 but might just pump the brakes for a bit. band overload in a short period of time .the two woven nylon I got coming I got great deals on
 
all my OEM bands (Tahoe blue, pearl, space grey, pollen, white sport, apricot sport, black sport, spicy orange sport loop, flash sport loop... and orange anthracite woven nylon on the way soon!):
