So Cnet had a picture of a gold apple watch with a really vivid red color.
And i just really want to get my hands on it.
But i cant seem to find it anywhere! Been googling like crazy.
Is it something that is comming soon?
Or do you know where to find it?

Pretty sure that’s the Hibisucus Sport Loop, and the lighting/post-processing makes it look a lot more vivid than it is. Definitely looks like they’ve upped the saturation in the photo.

I say that because a lot of the hands-on videos for the S4 involved a gold watch and a pinky Sport Loop, which I presume is the new Hibiscus.

hmmm, i dont think the saturation on the gold color looks that off tho.
But maybe im wrong.
I just thought the collor of the band in the picture looked really nice.
Kinda odd that Cnet of all places would saturate the color that much.
Was thinking it was maybe some product red sportsloop thats incoming or something.
Wish there was something similar to get.

Out of curiousity, I took a photo of a gold series 4 and then upped the saturation by 75%. I think you'll agree that it looks very similar to the Cnet picture.

I'm not 100% sure if it's Nectarine or Hibiscus, but it's definitely one of the two.

Hmmm, i guess you are right.
Still not really as vivid tho, but its probably the case.
Thats verry unfortunate :/
Was REALLY looking forward to having that red band. Always wanted a really strong popping red band for my watch.
And loved how it looked with the new gold AW4.
