Gen 1 is my favorite for the Product Red Sports Band and Loop. That Gen 3 looks orange here.
Yeah it’s about as orange red can get without crossing over but it looks much better irl without the full light crank I like doing for comps.

Wow, those are close.
Pred2 is ever so slightly darker than Plum

Cross post, but may be useful to people here...

(P)Red Gen 1 to 4, original Orange and Hermes.

Nice shot! Seems like the 4th gen is pretty close to 1st gen -- which is still in my top 5 list of frequent flyer bands (across all types). Spicy Orange would be an interesting one to slide in, presumably between pred4 and Orange..

Yes, 4th is a slightly peachier version of 1st. I’ll try and do a version with Spicy at some point, but it relies on the bands aligning with the rapidly-dwindling decent sunlight. Winter is coming.

You captured that subtle difference well.

I think Spicy would fit between OG Orange and Hermes. OG is already very red for an orange. My wife is the orange to pink expert though and I haven’t got her across the line on hanging her M/L pieces with my collection. We’ll get there eventually though.

Also, for someone with a small wrist, only a bit of that dark color would be showing on the Pred2, so it makes it not so much a doppelgänger for plum in terms of how it will appear on one's wrist.

Yep, they are a prime example of why we were keen to get the ToxTags - if those get mixed up it’ll be fun trying to sort them out again for sure.
Not sure if it’s the lighting but I think the lugs of PC look like they are a tiny bit warmer in tone than OG pink. But you’re right if they’re mixed up I don’t trust that I would be able to put that knowledge to work.
