The Apple Watch Sport Loop band was woven from nylon thread to create a hook-and-loop closure. These bands were available for the 38/40mm and 42/44mm Apple Watch models, and were offered in sizes to fit 130–200mm wrists (40mm) and 145–220mm wrists (44mm).
This Abyss band used a base color of blue with edges in light blue and dark gray. The connector plastics were dark blue and the closure plastic was light blue.
