Hello fellow AW owners, wondering if anyone has received their Scuba Blue Woven Nylon band yet, I ordered mine on Tuesday and it isn't supposed to come till Thursday, I'm really excited for it and would like to see the actual color in pictures as I'm sure many others would too. It seems like a lot of people have received their Woven Nylon bands in other colors and I think I've seen pics of every color except Scuba Blue, does anyone have any they could please share?
Thanks!

Not my picture (mine should be coming Tuesday), but the only one I've found of it 'in the wild':

I caved and bought one from the Apple Store before my online order arrived:

It's nice, but I do have trouble locking the band. It requires a lot of pushing/pulling to get it to lock into place. Tried it on my friend's exact same watch (42mm silver Sport) and it locks first time. Must be some very slight variations in the mechanism etc.

I'll wait for my online one to arrive and compare. This one is a bit fiddly, I hope the other is better or I may have to return them both.

The color really looks amazing, a really nice marine/ocean look perfect for summer!

I was really curious about the inside color too, so here's that.

Mine is also fiddly about locking in place. I can get the longer piece to lock but not the shorter piece. I may have to return it :(. That sucks because I love love love the color and how it feels. I don't want to wait to wear it!

I've had the scuba blue woven on my radar for a while now (own pearl and black and really love). Finally saw it in stock at closest Apple store and hubby brought home last night. I've seen in photos that it looks kind of green/blue in many pictures on here but more turquoise on ads in stores like Target and on Apple's website.

Opened it up last night and at night it does look like Cambookpro's photos. However wore it outside this morning and in daylight it is more turquoise. It also can take on a silvery sheen when the light hits it a certain way. Here it is on my SS Watch.

Happy to report it slid in fine when installing and clicked in place.

I have the Pearl nylon band, but the Scuba Blue would be on the short list if I get another one. I'm really impressed how nice these bands are after seeing them in person. You could wear them in a number of situations from casual to dressy causal. IMO, these bands are definitely worth the $50 because they feel so well made.

Totally agree, I love my woven nylon bands. They are awesome bands, SO comfortable and breathable, great for the hot FL weather haha!
