Thanks! I'll add the new White, Black and Pink Sand to the chart... If anyone could confirm whether Red, Midnight Blue and Stone are the same colors, it would be perfect!
All of this solidifies my decision to sell everything off. I'm done keeping up with the subtle changes yet again...sorry I didn't get you the others to compare, @emiaj

Don’t worry man! Actually i do think that the others probably remain the same color, since they are not paired with a certain watch model...
 
Does anyone have any Blue Horizon pictures? Thinking of picking it up.

On SSSB S3
 
Finally finished the new update. Since all the sport bands look slightly different in picture this time, I just duplicated them in the chart for now. If some colors are confirmed to be the same later on, I'll remove them in the next version. (So frustrating with these subtle changes! If feels really bad with my OCD... :mad:)

The good thing about this is that I do love the new white better than the old one... Super happy with the SS S4!

Went to the apple store today and took a couple of pictures. I love the space black with link bracelet, and also with the new blue sport band. I’m definitely going for that one!

That blue band. What that one called? It looks nice bright strong blue (without be too bright and not too dark). Apple store website don't show me nice bright strong blue bands for sport band or sport loop band. They too dark or too pale.
 
Went to the apple store and picked up some new bands, the Lavender Gray sport band and the Indigo sport loop.

Also I got the change to compare some of the new bands (of the same name) from the old ones:
- The new Black is lighter than the old one, but still closer to the old Black than the Gray.
- The new white is darker than Soft White, but lighter than Cloud.
- Pink Sand is absolutely different. It's a light pink color now, I think they should've changed the name since it's only "Pink", but not "Sand" at all...
- Stone is slightly more yellow than before.

I didn't get a chance to get a side to side comparison the Midnight Blue and (PRODUCT)RED though... Both could be lighter, but I'm not sure. Someone please confirm if you have both the old one and the new one... haha

The "Lavender Gray" is gorgeous! It does look like a darker version of Lilac though...
Here's a comparison of a few bands that I have:
(Left to right) Lilac, Lavender Gray, Fog, Cloud, (new) White, (old) White

I’m looking forward to the lavender gray I ordered to come in tomorrow. I want to see it on the SS Gold

That's the new Blue Horizon. It's a very nice blue!
 
Anyone have any feedback on the new 44mm bands fitting 42mm watches? From danbalsh's pic above looks like the fit is perfect, but I have read otherwise.

I have at least one of every other band except for the Sport Loop, so I finally broke down and ordered the Cape Cod Blue and Storm Grey. They seem popular and people like them, I've just always been kind of reluctant to put my nice SS watch on a VELCRO strap LOL. They arrive tomorrow, can't wait to try them out!

Fits perfect, if you’re unsure maybe go into the Store and ask to try one of the bands on your Watch? :)

For some reason some people can't comprehend what Apple has said and written on their website. All bands fit on all watches! I have 5 new bands for my S3 and there is no difference. Here is the new 44mm Storm Gray sport loop on my s3.

Yes I KNOW and COMPREHEND what Apple has said about band compatibility, but earlier today I read a post stating something like "yeah they fit but not exactly" and just wanted to make sure they were full of crap.

Storm Gray looks awesome, glad I snagged that one!

Would love to, but I am an hour and a half away from the nearest store. Thanks for the advice though!

Thank you so much. I share portions of this with my group and friends, I’ve asked if that’s ok and no reply, so hope you don’t mind! I really love it and appreciate all the work you do to keep this updated!
[doublepost=1537770204][/doublepost]It’s not a huge difference but the Stone color isn’t the same either. The new one is lighter.

U are not getting series 4?

Wait, what? You plan to sell your whole awesome collection?? Why would you do that after going to such extraordinary lengths to chase all the bands?
