Thanks! Looks nice. Just wish the lugs were black.
That's... a problem with a lot of Apple's Watch bands. There's a few of the leather ones I totally would have bought if they'd offered them with black hardware instead of (as well as) silver hardware. It's like they don't want the owners of Space Gray or Space Black watches to buy any of the leather bands (other than the Leather Loop). It bothers me a bit less with some of the other bands, I suppose, because the hardware doesn't stick out beyond the watch body, so it's a little less noticeable.

Nike Teal Tint/Tropical Twist on S4 Space Gray on hairy arm
Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see what it looks like on Space Gray. I'm drawn to this band, and simultaneously repelled just a little, because it looks kind of like toothpaste color or some such (there's been a few in the past that I passed on because I liked the color itself, but on my arm it reminded me too much of a band-aid). Still rocking the Black/Hyper Grape these days.

I hear you, my first reaction with the official Apple pics was "gross" but toothpaste is better.

It almost looks glow in the dark. I like it. I don't think I have any other light Nike bands.

I am also still loving both Hyper Grapes and the Cerulean loops. To the point that I have to force myself to use other ones for variety. :)

Thanks! I'm liking it. Yep, finally saw one on ebay that was too high... Then after a while they dropped the price to something reasonable.

I think I can finally slow down, I don't really need Rose Red unless it pops up super cheap.

I have this exact same chip on my watch as well. Maybe from changing the bands?

Trust me, you DO need rose red :D

Seriously, if I could keep only one red band, it would be this one.

It's the best! All that, plus reflective for night time.

Cerulean is amazing too. Midnight Fog, Indigo, & Midnight Blue are also really nice.

Hyper Grape has become one of my absolute favorites in the short time it has been out and I agree, Cerulean is pretty incredible as well. Fantastic summer colors in there. Indigo, I've tucked away in favor of others but I really like that one too. Midnight Fog is one I don't own, yet. Lately I've been wearing Tahoe Blue.

Finally found a brand new fog sport band on eBay for really cheap! Cant wait to see how it looks. Also waiting on my delft band to come in. Had to order a band case to organize my addiction. I’ve only had the watch for 2 months and have 10 bands

On the lookout for a blue horizon 40mm if anyone has one or sees it somewhere! My apple store and best buy have only 44mm in stock :(
