Apple Watch Sport Loop Demo (Olive, 44 mm, Spring 2021)

The Apple Watch Sport Loop band was woven from nylon thread to create a hook-and-loop closure. These bands were available for the 40 mm and 44 mm Apple Watch models, and were offered in sizes to fit 130–200 mm wrists (40 mm) and 145–220 mm wrists (44 mm). The bands also fit older Apple Watch sizes.

This band is primarily olive, a shade of dark green (Army green) with two different color edges. One edge is royal blue and the other is red-orange. The plastic connectors are olive matching the primary band color, and the plastic closure is royal blue.

Apple described the Apple Watch Sport Loop band:

“Soft, breathable, and lightweight, the Sport Loop features a hook-and-loop fastener for quick and easy adjustment. The double-layer nylon weave has dense loops on the skin side that provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability.”

This band’s packaging is marked “Demo,” meaning that it was meant to be used as an Apple Store demonstration band for potential customers to see and try in person. However, the box was unopened and the band was never used as a Demo.

Apple Watch Woven Nylon Band (42 mm, Blue Stripe, Stainless Steel Buckle, 2019)

The Apple Watch Woven Nylon Band was available from 2016–2019. This band design was the first to include plastic connecting “lugs” to attach to the watch.

This Blue Stripe Apple Watch Woven Nylon Band was available beginning in late 2018 and was among the last Woven Nylon bands available. This example fits the 42 mm Apple Watch and had a Stainless Steel Buckle. The design features bright stripes on a white background including royal blue, light blue, bright green, and light green.

According to Apple:

“Every Woven Nylon band is made from over 500 threads woven together in a unique, colorful pattern. Monofilaments connect four layers of the weave to create a single durable band with a comfortable, fabric-like feel. Available in seven vibrant colors”

Unlike the Apple Sport Loop bands that shipped with two sizes in one box, each Woven Nylon box included one size band with twelve notches. The 38 mm version was designed to fit wrists 125–195 mm, and the 42 mm fit 145–215 mm wrists.

No new Apple Watch Woven Nylon band styles were introduced after Summer 2018.
