It might also have something to do with the way they age. I bought this product red one used on eBay. It came with both the s/m half and the m/l half. The s/m half feels a bit more silicone-like while the m/l half feels like my brand new turquoise sport band that I got on clearance at walmart 2 weeks ago. I'm assuming the seller wore the s/m half while the m/l sat around in a drawer and now has a different feel to it.
What's the best way to clean these things? My white sport band also needs a good cleaning because it isn't looking so white anymore.
Yeah there's definitely something a bit different about the material in the red one.
It feels just as supple as my other genuine sport bands, not thin and light and cheap like the knockoffs. However, the surface of it feels more similar to silicone for some reason, more friction than the other genuine sport bands.
If Apple put a product with one label into a box with a different label then they're really starting to slip. Has anyone photographed a box from a "dragon red" sport band yet?
The inside of the sport band had "product" written on it, it's a special designation given to products that have a portion of their proceeeds donated to AIDS research. But regardless of that, to put a product labeled one way into a box labeled another way is just very sloppy from a multi-billion dollar corporation. However; I don't believe the dragon red box actually exists.
No I was comparing a genuine one to a knockoff and saying they both feel like silicone on the surface.
