1. Most worn band is probably my white sport band that came with my Series 4. I wear it most since it’s the most versatile for workouts/everyday.

2. My favourite band is my Hermes single tour replica made by JonesInTokyo on Etsy.

3. My next purchase is the one arriving with my Ti Series 7: the Golden Brown Leather Link, set to arrive Dec 7-14.

1. Obsidian/Black Nike band is my most worn, besides the Anthracite/Black that I use for workouts and store runs. Love that shade of blue! So much so, I recently bought a duplicate as a backup.

2. The Product Red Sport Loop (1st Gen) is my favorite. That is the best color red that Apple has made in a sport loop thus far, in my opinion. Still on the search for a duplicate.

3. Dark Cherry Leather Link is next on my purchase list.

I have the natural titanium S6.

1. Which band is your most-worn band? Saddle brown leather loop.
2. Which band is your favourite band (it might be different than your most-worn!)? Apple stainless steel link bracelet.
3. Which band is the next band you plan to purchase? Third party leather band, but requires titanium coloured lugs.

1. Probably my saddle brown classic buckle
2. It has been my classic buckle, but I really love my new leather link
3. Well, after purchasing 6 bands this week and finding the sizing off on a couple of them, I’ll either be buying a new solo loop in clover, or a braided loop in dark cherry (or both).

I went from the regular Sports band that came with my S0, to the Nike Sports band that I got with my Nike S2 watch, then to the solo loop I got with my S6. In terms of the length I've worn it, the Nike Sports band is the longest, but I now prefer the solo loop. Unfortunately, my solo loop broke in less than a year of use, so I went back to the Nike Sports band. I just bought a knock-off solo loop from Amazon, which is a bit more flimsy than the genuine Apple version. The texture of the genuine solo loop is slightly nicer, too. Still, I find the knock-off solo loop more comfortable than the Sports band, so I expect to wear it going forward, until it breaks, or when I upgrade to a new watch, whichever happens first. When I upgrade my watch, I'll see what bands / colors Apple offers then, and decide on what to get based on what's available.

so in sum,
1. Longest worn - Nike Sport
2. Most favorite - solo loop
3. Next purchase - undecided

1. Most Worn - Midnight Blue sport band - goes with everything and durable so it’s a great everyday band
2. Favorite - Hermes Fauve Barenia deployment buckle - such a great looking band
3. Next Purchase - really trying to cut back on my band buying and wait until the spring release. I do keep lusting after several of the current Hermes colors though…

Just to update on my "next purchase" posted above. I DID buy the dark cherry braided loop, but today I won an auction for a saddle brown leather link. SO excited!

 

[jags828]

Most worn- OG Black band that came with the first watch. I don’t think I could catch up to how many times I wore that band with the amount of bands I have now in my rotation.
Favorite- Nike Chlorine Blue/Green Glow
Next Purchase- Hopefully some type of new aqua/bright blue color band that Apple releases next. I haven’t been interested in any of the last few releases besides the black and midnight leather link bands.

 

[ajm222]

Most worn is a platinum/white Nike band, and probably my favorite as well, and I will be buying a green leather link for my new Series 7.

Where did you find your backup for the Obsidian/Black? I had one and got rid of it. Looking for it again in new condition and very tough to find.

 

[JBinPDX]

1) Most worn: braided solo loop. I have several colors that I rotate through as the whim strikes me.

2) Favorite: pistachio braided solo loop.

3) I'm looking for a leather band with black hardware (I have a green 7), but I haven't found one I like yet. I don't care for the leather link. I really wish that Apple would make the modern buckle with black instead of silver.

 

[Cotypubby]

Most worn: hmm that’s hard to think of because I have so many and rotate them every day. Maybe the 2018 Pride woven nylon, because at that time that was only the second genuine Apple band I owned and I wore it all June 2018.

Favorite: Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue

Next purchase will be the Maize braided loop.

1. Which band is your most-worn band?
2. Which band is your favourite band (it might be different than your most-worn!)?
3. Which band is the next band you plan to purchase?

1. Nowadays I rotate my bands too often to have a most-worn band. Back in the day when I had only a handful bands, it would be the Azure sport band.
2. I have a couple of very-much-beloved bands but if I'd have to pick one it would be Hermès Orange.
3. No plans, but wishes. Taupe and Blue Jay classic buckles, if by miracle I find one of these... Else, I'm a bit of an impulsive buyer, so it could be starlight braided solo, too.

1. Most worn band is my saddle brown leather loop

2. Favorite band is my space black link bracelet

1. Would have to be GEN1 Product Red sport band. Its my favorite color and the most vivid of the PROD gens. I actually have 2 more in box sealed just in case my original goes bad/wears down etc.

2. LOVE light pink. Its such a unique color and looks like what I thought OG Pink should be - a wonderful bubblegum color

3. Next band is trying to find a dark TI band or a lighter shade of orange (have hermes and vit c).

Nomad graphite s/s link. Just received it tonight from my darling wife. Always wanted a link band. I can tell you now it will absolutely be my most worn band. It is stunning and a great match to my series 7 45mm graphite s/s watch. Pics below. Before this was my California Poppy leather link.

I’m sold I think.
Looking for a link band myself and from the UK so JUUK out the question.
Can get this from Amazon UK so think I’m going to go with this.
Would be interesting to hear how it’s held up over the last 18 months if you get to read this.
Thanks!

*Edit to say found an open box at a site for even cheaper, so have gone with that. 😁

I wore a sport band for years as I went from an original apple watch to a series 8

When I got my series 8 I went for that magnetic leather band. That magnetic clasp is such a nice QOL feature and I am constantly surprised by both how loose it feels on my wrist and the fact that it is still able to hold a large 45mm watch face where it needs to be. It has a long way to go to becoming "most worn" but I don't think I'll be going back to the sports bands.
