Nike Sport Loop (Just Do It, Sequoia/Pure Platinum, 45 mm, Fall 2022)

This Nike Sport Loop band was woven from nylon thread to create a hook-and-loop closure. These bands were available for the 41 mm and 45 mm Apple Watch models, and were offered in sizes to fit 130–200 mm wrists and 145–220 mm wrists. The bands also fit older Apple Watch sizes.

This band uses 2 colors. The primary color is Sequoia, a shade of olive green, and an accent color “Pure Platinum,” Nike’s description of light metallic gray. The “Pure Platinum” accent is woven with the Sequoia color to create a light version of Sequoia that is used for the part of the band that features Nike’s tagline, “JUST DO IT” that is woven on the adjustable hook-and-loop closure of the Sport Loop.

Apple described this Nike Sport Loop band:

“Breathable and lightweight, the Nike Sport Loop is designed for fitness. The iconic Nike ‘Just Do It’ logo is woven right into the soft nylon using an innovative technique. A hook-and-loop fastener makes for quick and easy adjustment, and dense loops on the skin side provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability.”

Apple Watch Leather Link (45mm, M/L, Sequoia Green, 2021)

The Apple Watch Leather Link was an Apple Watch band released in 2021. The design is similar to the previous Leather Loop design, but while the Leather Loop included a metal “eye,” the Leather Link is secured solely by magnets.

Apple describes the Leather Link:

“The Leather Link features handcrafted Roux Granada leather made in France. The strap elegantly wraps around the wrist and magically attaches with flexible moulded magnets that gently flex to help maintain a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day.”

The Leather Link came in sizes including 40mm in S/M (130–160mm wrists) and M/L (140–180mm wrists), and 44mm in S/M (140–180mm wrists) and M/L (165–205mm wrists).

This example is Sequoia Green to fit the 45mm Apple Watch and fits wrists in the M/L size range.
