Did you again have to pair a gold edition watch to your account to be able to order one? Also in your last photo is it in some kind of white protective shell?
I didn't have to pair the watch, but I had to prove that I do own one.
And yes, the case came in a protective rubberised shell, which prevented it from damages and from being opened...

All right, the pictures of the cases convinced me!

Still weird to me because when I saw Apricot IRL, I specifically didn‘t buy it because it didn‘t seem very „orangey“ to me (Spicy wasn‘t released yet) … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Orange and Apricot are on my desk at work. I wanted to see them under fluorescent lighting. I’m wearing Spicy Orange and was going to stop by my local Apple Store at lunch to see if they still had the 38mm on display/for sale. Apricot has a pink hue to it but in other lighting, it’s orange. It’s a strange color overall and I can’t even get a proper photo of it sitting against my white desktop.

Yeah, I figured it must be the lighting. All sport band colours change significantly in different lighting, but Apricot seems to be taking the colour-shifting cake.

How about some ice cream with your cake?

That is the gold Edition watch charging case. It is magnetic, leather, very cool-looking and not sold separately box the Edition watch originally was shipped within.

Oh wow, very cool.

By the way, has anybody seen Marine Green in 38mm locally? Is it possible for it be still available at some Apple Stores?

So what happens when you get all the bands you think you want? I have now hit that point.

You wait patiently for next season’s releases and you switch to buying clothes to match all the bands you’ve bought. I’m [not] speaking from experience here...:rolleyes:

There is some blue band on sale on ebay - I cannot recognise which exact color it is (seems like Denim Blue as for me), but I am 100% sure it original - https://www.ebay.com/itm/401556106301
The seller is an idiot. There is no ‘sea blue.’ It appears to be Azure to me...

I thought it looked kind of like the ocean blue band that I have. I think sea blue was a classic buckle color (I’ve got this one too) ... I might have a problem along with everyone else in this thread :D

How do those compare with like Royal, Ocean, Midnight and the rest of the dark blues?

I am looking to a pink sport band to my collection, the one that is kind of magenta-ish can you show me the Camellia, Red Raspberry and both Rose Red bands back to back in both lighting conditions and the model numbers for each please?
Working from the bottom up of your questions, the second link is most likely Camellia in my opinion. Remember, and many of us here have said this, lighting makes a difference. I’m stumped at the first link, but I am guessing it COULD be Red Raspberry or MAYBE Camellia in sunlight/natural light — that one is waaay more pink outdoors vs indoors.

It’s an overcast morning up here in Georgia, but here are the reds. Also, there are not two Rose Reds. There are two (PRODUCT)Red bands, though. You didn’t specify which size, so here are the model numbers for the reds you mentioned:

Hallway lighting (first two) then outside (last two):

Lastly, and I’ve posted this same picture about the blues MANY times in this thread if you glance back at past pages, but here are the dark blues for comparison...

Thank You so much! Oh it is 42mm.
Okay, I see. I think I have the first generation Product Red, but I got it in February this year at my local Apple. Looks like the one I am looking for is Rose Red 80% and Camellia 20%.

So not much different between colbalt and ocean. Also blue 2015 and denim.

Looks like both Rose Red and Camellia are discontinued. How do I get bands from this Singapore store I hear so much about lately?

Guys... how do you think - do I have the chance to get all the sport bands in sealed boxes?
I want to have the full set now - but in sealed store boxes...
I think the biggest problem would be with ultraviolet, cobalt blue and dark olive... I think all others are still possible to find

i mean i was able to do it, but got a few that were opened but full retail packaging, i think it was dark olive, pollen, and maybe 3 or 4 others.
