Should I give up hoping for the Ultraviolet sport band?

Are you still looking for lilac? Check out the seller we are talking about today in the Every Band thread. I just bought the one she has listed as 38 but she is sending me the 42, so she still has the 38. I would message her. It ends up being around 32 dollars with shipping.
Not sure if it’s the same seller but probably, thanks and yes I already bought one from someone in the UK. I just am missing Denim and Cobalt as far as blues go.
Yep same seller.. thanks

I remember seeing the ultraviolet bands in-store back in January when I was dropping my wife's iPhone 6 for battery service.
Definitely looked cool, but I didn't have a watch at the time...and even then I don't particularly care for the sport bands.
Jealous of the folks that get to use those beautiful Apple silicone cases though.

Ultraviolet is one of the bands I bought my wife almost as soon as it was available. Thank goodness too. With these bands I think the best way is just buy first, think later as Apple is really good about taking items back within a couple of weeks.
In the early days I thought I could go cheap and get aftermarket copies. Nope.
The only question is should I have bought spares for colors I really liked? Apple has been cheekily discontinuing seemingling popular colors, sometimes way sooner than expected!

I'm noticing that that as well. It seems like many colors are only available for a limited amount of time. So now, if I see a color I want, I'm just going to grab it then.
I love my OEM Ultra Violet. Favorite band due to its rarity. So hot.
It doesn’t photo so well, it looks far more purple in person. And yes, I’m sure it’s OEM. Came still sealed with that original Apple strip seal.
Got it new a few months back by noticing a forum post here at just the right time before it got deleted. Some traveling CEO was selling the three he got for $75 each. I got ahold of him before mods took the post down. I will never sell!

I love my Ultraviolet band. It's the first band I ever bought, and the only extra one I had for over a year. I'm so glad I bought it new, cos I don't think I could stomach some of the prices it goes for.
Also have the iPhone X Ultraviolet case, but it's pretty worn by now.

Got one for the wife. We’re lucky we have Apple Stores here — easy to buy first and return later if I didn’t like it. Sport Bands are the only Apple OEM bands I’d buy. Only thing is whether I’d need to buy spares if I really liked them.
They've brought back subtle variations of Sport Bands, some better, most not for me - like Orange and Yellow.
Interesting. Looks legit to me.

I can't tell, but too expensive. There's got to be cheaper ones without the box like that out there.
Hey guys, I just came up on a ultraviolet 38mm very good condition with box. Will be posting it in the marketplace shortly!!
Flash, Rose Red, Nike Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue, NikeLab Light Bone/Black, Nike Violet Dust/Plum Fog...
Have to second the Rose Red and Flash bands being rare. Took me forever to find those and I only stumbled across the 42 mm! I got lucky coming across someone just wanting to get rid of their Rose Red in a 38 mm.
I think I got pretty lucky with someone trying to get rid of the ultra violet as well
Huh, I wouldn't have guessed, though it's pretty clear you've been following the market pretty closely, so I trust your answers. I have these two Nike's, the Violet Dust is one of my favorites, the Blue Orbit is one of my least favorites (it's just a bit too much for me). (I have UV, too, don't wear it as much because it's too blue - they need to do a proper purple, equally red and blue). I would have guessed the Pride bands to be fairly rare, but, then again, I don't particularly follow the markets. I chased Royal Blue a bit, was always annoyed I didn't get that when it was in the stores. Then I got Delft Blue and decided I like that better than Royal Blue.
I want to see them do a Nike Product Red sport band - no contrast color, entirely bright red with the holes.
