Does anyone know how to fully clean a sport band? A couple of my bands, that I bought second handed still look like the have some grease on it. And it darkened their color.
I’ve tried soap and mr. clean. But they still look the same.
 
Does anyone have purple fog and English lavender in the solo band for comparison? I have English lavender and I might need purple fog.
 
Does anybody know why some sport bands feel like a softer material (flamingo, mint, lemon cream) while others are harder when you touch them ( turquoise, Cyprus green). they feel like a different material.
 
My recent grabs (Haven't shared hauls here in a while as im way more active on Discord) include some wonky ones.

I recently picked up this prototype/unreleased White Gen 1 with a Space Black Ceramic Pin, which is one I've had before, but the deal I got was too good to pass. It's a pretty good pair with the Series 2 Ceramic's black crown!

Very Stormtrooper-esque and clean, I like.
 
Just got the soft white.
I think most of us underestimate how clean its this look.
I wonder if is the same tone of the ceramic soft white as well.

Here I compare Soft White and Whit 2nd gen (soft white on the watch)
They are basically the same to my eyes.
Now i am waiting for my white 1st gen and i will give away the 2nd gen.

Actually i just compared my new Soft White with the M/L 2nd gen White strap that was always in the box (preserved as new), and i could see a difference in color. The 2nd gen white is more pale. Apparently oxidation made it become more soft-ish, and now it matches a new Soft white.

Left: soft white
Right =: new 2nd gen white

I’ve been thinking about buying Bright Green, Pomegranate and Azure.
The dilema I have is that I currently own Spearmint, Rose Red and Conrflower.

I have checked photos about comparing these colors to each other , and they seem quite similar, but the truth is that you can’t really tell until you see them next to each other.

For those who own both, do you think any of those is different enough to justify the purchase?

If you have the extra money lying around, why not? otherwise, you have the better band between the two for all 3 sets, imo.

It is just that I want colors that I can easily recognize because they are different enough and unique.

Sa far this is my collection: 85 bands.

I had a few more, but I gave away the ones with black pins (for my OCD haha), a White 2nd gen (because I kept Soft White and White 1st gen) and a second hand Ultra Violet because I just got a brand new one.
