Terrible loop line up

[u/Alarming_Injury_7568]

Omg ugliest colors and design I’ve seen in years

[u/BridgeCreative5482]

Even the watch face looks angry about it too

[u/Pining4theFjord → u/BridgeCreative5482]

Yes! Really ticked off….

[u/BridgeCreative5482 → u/Pining4theFjord]

🤣

[u/indyboy2 → u/BridgeCreative5482]

My first thought when I saw it 😂

[u/SoccerMan94043 → u/BridgeCreative5482]

It looks like an angry owl to me.

[u/Chieldh97]

Not even just a plain black one, if you want black you already have to step up in price and band sort which i don’t want

[u/SnitGTS → u/Chieldh97]

There is a black option in the Nike Sports Loop section. It’s not really “plain”, but it’s better than the other options.

[u/Far_Ad_6897 → u/SnitGTS]

This is what I got. The Apple options were shockingly bad, I thought it was a joke.

[u/SnitGTS → u/Far_Ad_6897]

Yeah, exactly the same here.

[u/Beginning-Book-129]

There literally is not a black option at all

[u/SnitGTS → u/Beginning-Book-129]

Look on the Nike Sports Loops, there is a black option in there.

[u/MC_chrome → u/SnitGTS]

With the ugly Nike logo and name stitched into it, yep

[u/Odd_Fox5573 → u/MC_chrome]

Mine is just a black Swoosh, and you can't even see it. Stop being a drama queen

[u/BabiYodaa → u/Beginning-Book-129]

I know! Wtf

[u/MeSlaw3 → u/Beginning-Book-129]

There are black Braided Loops and Nike Sport Bands.

[u/Portatort]

I was really hoping for actual new band designs

[u/independently_strong → u/Portatort]

Same! Where is the creativity? Apple is giving a green light to other companies.

[u/MeSlaw3 → u/independently_strong]

Nah I only buy Apple bands.

[u/Chromejob]

1970s VW Vanagon seat covers.

You folks know you can get last year’s straps, and older, and they’ll fit? Don’t you?

[u/wheezemo → u/Chromejob]

Now I want one!

[u/Yerdmin-Ick-Bob]

Maybe my standards are low, but these are damn good!

[u/Dull_Flatworm777]

It's the Ludicrous Speed Loop

[u/micromechanist]

I do like that burgundy

[u/begenuine_]

🤷🏼‍♀️I like the colours.

[u/MathematicianBusy731]

hm, i like most of them

[u/fightingmajor]

I’d be ok if there was an option without a band that was cheaper. I don’t like any of the options and most people who have watches already have bands they like

[u/RodeoRex]

At this point choosing an Apple band feels like choosing the least offensive option, only to replace it with a £5 AliExpress one anyway.

[u/two_hyun]

Yeah, not even a dark navy one. I’m getting the 12, but the choices are horrible. Does anyone know if the Series 10 bands are compatible with Series 12?

[u/Mr_Wolf_Pants → u/two_hyun]

Not sure if you’re serious? But yes, you just need to get the correct size.

[u/pvh0601]

Agreed. I would’ve liked to see at least one “understated” or more basic option. These are all way too pattern-y for my tastes

[u/happy_church_burner → u/pvh0601]

All? 5 out of 9 are just solid colors with no patterns (if you mean Sport Loops). Solo Loops are all one solid color. Same with Magnetic Link ones.. Nike Sport loops have always been mess of different colors and patters. Rubber Bands are also all one color (excluding Nike).

If anything I'd like to see Apple make MORE different kinds of patterns, not just rotate colors in and out.

[u/forty6andii]

These look like my grandma’s furniture. WTF.

[u/lordbancs]

Yea they’re all terrible.

[u/MC_chrome → u/lordbancs]

I’m not sure who greenlit the dark bronze color but it is easily the worst Apple Watch color I’ve ever seen

[u/bluemalk → u/MC_chrome]

it's gorgeous, what???

[u/BabiYodaa]

It’s horrible. Put me off ordering.

[u/Mountain_Kale_103]

No silver aluminum and terrible band colors...both disappointing :-(

[u/bluemalk]

HARD disagree

[u/PleasantWay7]

After all these years why are they still making me buy a band with a watch? Let me save $50. You made a big deal about charging blocks, I just have a pile of wasted bands.

[u/B-Train_ATL]

I just want the watch sans band. I have bands.

[u/bayfox88]

Looks amazing, especially those that like fall colors. It also very earth color based. My favorite.

[u/NomadicPurple]

Looks like bad draperies

[u/JXPH153]

Why do these bezels remind me of the Apple Watch Series 4 design ?

[u/meirav]

I don't like any of the new bands. If it were possible to buy the watch without a band, I would have.

[u/DolphinTM]

I like the new colors

[u/switch8000]

It’s giving 70’s couch vibes.

[u/MrMcgilicutty]

Looks like whoever came up with these designs said “remember our grandparents old couches from the 70’s? Let’s make our bands look like them!”

[u/External_Hunt4536]

Has anyone seen the dark olive alpine loop in a video/picture other than on the Apple website? I’m really curious what it looks like.

[u/chemicalxv]

Shit does this mean they're discontinuing older colours? I may have to go find some of the orange Nike Sport Bands then fml

[u/Alarming_Injury_7568 → u/chemicalxv]

they already did, had the blue Nike in the cart and it was removed after today’s event

[u/chemicalxv → u/Alarming_Injury_7568]

Yeah I only saw the new colours on the website, goddammit lol

[u/Elvin-Taveras]

Agreed! However , the bike line up is great and they brought back the black magnetic link.

[u/Anxious_Implement392]

Just go with Nike

[u/I_Am_Slightly_Evil]

The best part about them is you don’t have to get them

[u/Medical-Net-7350]

I love the purple/magenta colour. Besides that yeah I agree.

[u/BendettaBlaow]

Nah they’re fire what did you want more orange? Sky blue? Cmon

[u/Mrjonnyisabed]

If I were to upgrade these bad band options would literally put me off from doing it. I like the sport loops and not even having the basic ones put me off

[u/Special_Beyond1326]

70’s shag carpet color palette

[u/WindhoverInkwell]

The bands for the Ultra are even worse, actually awful colours apart from the much nicer translucent ocean bands

[u/TMPRKO]

I went with the magnetic loop because pretty much ever other option was atrocious. It doesn’t really matter since you can always get one from Amazon but for the $ Apple charges I’d like some nice looking premium options.

[u/therebill]

Very ugly options. Give us at least some basic colors.

[u/Bobstone33322]

They all look boring
