I hate to deviate too far from new band hype, but can someone post a picture of their Midnight Fog Loop on both sides? I picked one up cheap and I can’t tell if it’s faded, or if one side is clearly more blue than the other green/blue weave. Chargerstore’s pictures are hard to discern. These older loops appear to be more susceptible to UV damage it would seem.

I got this loop insanely cheap, but I’m trying to decide if I can live with it if it is in fact faded. Pics of mine below. The Velcro side is VERY green compared to the reverse.

Looks about normal, though I don’t have one, so I can’t be sure.

Yeah it’s normal...my 42 (right) goes back spring 2018 when I got it with a watch but is lightly used and it’s noticeably greener on back, as is this mint one I got last week. If you want that green pop on the top side, may I suggest world indigo/lime blast on sale at BB now 👹

I just bought the nike Lime blast, and he is compared with the volt classical one. I prefer the Lime blast because of the silver pin, that matches my Stainless steel Apple Watch. the Lime blast is like a soft light green.

Perfect. Thanks for taking this. Such an awesome loop overall.

Well I took back my pride sport band that wouldn't click in and they tried 3 more new ones in store and all the same! She then tried the display model after trying to tell me it was my watch that was the problem and it was fine. So weird. Anyway I ended up just getting a refund. Might try again in a month or so.
 
Sorry if I missed out, haven’t been able to stay abreast of posts this past week, but could someone post a picture of Vitamin C with the other oranges, particularly the original orange, and sea foam next to sky blue and beryl? I did a cursory search through the read and didn’t see a comparison, so please excuse me if I missed them.

I’m amazed (and glad?) that nobody has posted a shot of VC beside Spicy Orange yet!

I can only speak for myself, but I sold both of these because to my eyes they were not "real" oranges but very reddish (the original "Orange" particularly so). Would still be interesting to see a comparison, but I guarantee you that they both look very, very different from Vitamin C.
