Pray, tell — what do you mean by the “glory” of First Gen Red? Not sure I’ve ever heard people really rave about it.

My first Red is the Solo Loop. I don’t love the tomato shade, or how much it leans toward the orange side of the blue/yellow undertones. Just by checking out comparison photos on here, I know I should look out for First, Second, and Fifth Get Reds. But apparently maybe the new one, too?
They're all great. Collecting all the red bands is what got me into collecting ALL the sport bands.

Hello. Back after a few health issues. Sorry if I missed any answers to something I asked 🙈

Does anyone happen to have a comparison of the two new blue sport bands with older blue colorways?

So there is no general consensus on a regular sport loop on an ultra 2? all of the ultra specific bands top loop for 'extreme' but the regular ones are bottom loop - UNLESS you're in water? :D chaos!

“New” band alert 🚨

It appears Apple did indeed neglect to label the fw23 red sport band with a “new” label:

I don’t think the new red will excite anyone looking for a return to the glory of First Gen Red, it does have a pink vibe, not dissimilar to Red5

Thanks for your discovery. I just ordered the 2023 Red from Amazon. It is currently on sale for $39.43.

Used to be suuuuper rare, especially 44/45…now it’s less so but still not easy.
Struggling to find it anywhere in the 44/45, if you happen to know of anywhere/see anywhere in the future please do shout, would love to buy it. Happy to pay for delivery to import to the UK if it's from USA or wherever.
