Will Apple make new colors for AWU bands?
I just got my Apple Watch Ultra following my ti Edition S6 and I really like it; also got the midnight Ocean Band and it’s even better than I thought it would be, however the midnight color is not as versatile as just black or dark gray would be so I am hoping they launch some new colors. Just curious about your best guesses here.

Usually bands get spring updates - so guess there could be some new AWU bands as well. Would love a black Alpine loop (even though my hopes aren’t high with apples weird love for the midnight as a replacement for all things black)

Most likely during the spring event along with all the other bands. I'm also hoping they release a new band altogether. I already have all 3 AWU bands and would love another AWU specific option.

I really like the ocean band. I bought a black non-Apple ocean band from Amazon and the quality is noticeably less than the original apple; the material is too stretchy, the titanium strap keeper is not precisely fit together, and worst of all a sloppy fit where they attach to the watch.

Looked at a black Alpine but my fear for crappy quality is holding me back

The 3rd party alpine loops are pretty good, actually. I have a slate blue one from Amazon that I love. It's not too far off from my Apple starlight loop.
