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.

Weirdly enough that’s the new Blue Horizon, which under strong light it seems to brighten up a lot.
 
Has anyone picked up the new Nectarine Sport Band yet? I’m curious how it compares “in the flesh” to the Apricot band. If Nectarine is more on the orange end of the color spectrum (and conversely less reddish) relative to Aprocot I’ll probably order one

I managed to snag an immaculate Nike White and Black Sport Strap off eBay for £25.

Arrived today and it’s beautiful, I love it.
I want the other colours now too.

This may become a slight addiction :/

My nectarine sport band came in today- I was just thinking how close it was to Apricot. Nectarine on left in photos. Please excuse the bad lighting it’s storming by me - don’t really have an option for outdoor light.

It‘s almost funny how Apple will release ever new shades of blue and red, no matter how incredibly close they may be to earlier bands (Nectarine/Apricot, Horizon/Cobalt), yet absolutely refuses to release a nice, darker green sport band …

As pictured below...very close to Apricot. I was excited seeing one in person because I feel no need to buy one since I have Apricot already.

Thank you so much for the photo! Is it safe to say that the Nectarine is more “orange” than the Apricot? The photo above certainly makes it appear so but I know lighting can be deceptive

Actually I believe it’s less orange. But see it for yourself- color is a very fickle thing.

Does anyone by chance have any side by side comparisons of the blue sport loop that was released earlier this year against the cape cod sport loop? Also the storm grey sport loop compared to the olive sport loop? I think both the new cape cod and storm grey sport loops look awesome, but I don't want to both if they are very similar.

I don't have photos, but I can tell you my opinion from comparison: the earlier-this-year-blue sport loop is has more light, "washed out" color. Cape cod is way more saturated. With storm grey sport loop it's other way around - compared to the olive sport loop the storm grey looks a bit "washed out".
 
Can someone pls share a photo of their Watch with the new dark green leather loop? How does it look in real life? On the online photo it looks really green-ish but on some low res photos I've seen from Apple Stores it is such a dark green that it is almost coal-like or anthracite.

Hope this helps... picture doesn't do it justice. its a pretty rich green. A little darker than I thought it would be

You have inspired me to place my order for the Forest band! Next month, I should be able to order my SS Gold! Looks fantastic! I want the Cape Cod Blue too!
[doublepost=1538057344][/doublepost]
Gold SS with the lavender gray sport band. Have the nectarine as well.
I love it! I am very happy with the Lavender Gray on my S3 SSSB, but, it looks even better on the new Gold SS!

Here you go, Tahoe Blue and Cape Cod Blue. And Dark Olive and Storm Gray.

Awesome, thank you! I definitely like the new ones more, but dont know that I can justify spending $50 each for the subtle differences. Thanks again!
