Here's the Black/Pure Platinum Nike Sport Loop, currently available only with the Nike+ Series 3 Cellular model in Space Gray.

First pic is with the Nike+ Watch it came with, second is my S0.

The part where it "folds" back on to itself bulges out a little, and I don't like wearing my Watch too tight.

It's not plain black, has obvious stripes, but not colored "specs" as per the Black Sport Loop.

The standard Black is nice in a warm, casual sort of way, but I rather like the stripes, more like a Nato nylon band.
so much nicer then the standalone black..why apple..why

It’s super light and comfortable I think it’s my favorite besides my Milanese Loop

Do you have the black sport loop on the space black stainless? If so can you post pictures I am thinking about getting the sport loop and want to see how it looks.

Just received a black sport loop (ebay). I am not a big fan. I guess I prefer more natural feeling materials like metal, leather, or canvas. Reminds me of safety sport/walking shoes with velcro an older person might have in the 70s. Even the Woven nylons feels better to me. Guess I'm just not a velcro and loopy knit nylon fan, feels too plasticky. to each his own.

I’m a bit confused - how is canvas more “natural” than nylon? Running my finger along the band lengthways is very nice, aross is a bit different. But once the band is done up, you won’t need to worry about the hooks.

I just don't like the feel as I said. Not into plastic feel if I can avoid it. as I said, to each his own. Some canvas is made from natural fiber, cotton.

Had a really difficult time deciding between black and dark olive for my SG watch and ultimately went with the latter. I like how it contrasts a little against the watch color.

View attachment 723009 Anyone know if the Nike Black Sports Loops will be sold separately? I have the regular black sports loop and it's probably the most comfortable band I have ever worn but don't care for the colors emeshed with the black. Kinds reminds me of a carpet pad.

I like both this one and the Crimson Red Nike band- can’t decide which one to get when they’re eventually sold separately by Apple. I assume they will be because the Series 2 Nike bands were sold separately. I do think the Crimson Red looks unfortunately a little more pinkish than red after seeeing it in person at the Apple store.
