did you happen to notice if they had any other colors in stock?
No, they had to bring this from the back and didn't even know if it was in stock until they checked. They didn't have the Product Red one in 42mm, but had the Orange in 42mm. I think the Product Red looks a bit dull.

The SS Red Band original picture I shared above was taken outside in bright sunlight so you can see what it looks like in bright light.

1st picture is with my OEM Apple iPad Mini red cover - ver similar in color. 2nd picture is with my Red Wings jersey which is a primary red color. 3rd picture is indoors under fluorescent lighting at Costco. 4th picture is the watch on top of a Coca-Cola can pack wrapper.

The red band color is not a primary red or "fire truck red" color - Sir Ive would not let that happen. It is basically a primary red slightly skewed towards the orange side of the color spectrum.

Thanks for the additional images!

I personally would have preferred the band to be more "fire truck red", but I'll probably still order it.

Looks awesome. Will match perfect with my (RED) cases for my SG phone and iPad on my SG watch. Can't wait for it to get here.

Here's my Space Grey Sport Watch with the new Stone Band. Also picked up the Midnight Blue but i found it to be too dark to be distinguishably different from the black one. Really happy with this combo.

I haven't even opened it yet since I just picked it up, but the new bands are available for in store pickup here in NYC. Unfortunately they're not on display yet, so I couldn't take a look at all of the colors...
Which store in NYC?

From that photo it's hard to tell it apart from the white band.

None muted colors are available from 3rd party sellers like these guys.

Thanks. They don't ship to Australia, and if they did it would negate any savings. But I would've preferred the Apple ones anyway. Ordered one in orange, and disappointed also they didn't have a darker purple for the wife.

Maybe it was the lighting in the Apple Store (they are in a temporary location while they remodel), but it didn't look red enough for me. I'm looking to purchase a watch and I'm torn between the SS with Project Red band and the SS Space black with BSB.

Space Black with Red looks good too.
