I got the first gen product Red sport band, it’s a touch orange. So between the 2nd gen and the Rose Red, which is the closest to a real red, like Christmas red, not orange or rose-ish?

I own the first GEN Product red sport band, I think it's fairly red, but if I had to choose between your choices, I would say the second Gen Product Red Sports band.

I find the newest gen Product red band to be the truest red.

I see that in photos but really what I should have asked is which is truer red between the Rose red and 2nd gen.. if anyone has both, thanks :)

Rose red is hot pink. I don’t have the band, but I do have the phone case. I definitely would call it a dark hot pink.
[doublepost=1517332025][/doublepost]The fleece is what I would call a Christmas, true red. The case is the Rose Red.

Rose red looks nothing like that case IRL; it‘s a much darker, maroon-ish shade of red.

As for the OP, what you‘re looking for is definitely the 2nd gen product red.

The case and the band must be different then. Because that’s definitely the rose red case.

That‘s quite possible, after all they‘re different materials as well (fluoroelastomer vs. silicone).

This picture of the rose red band is pretty spot-on, colour-wise:
I wish you had both! That’s a great picture and I like the color. I don’t wear pink ever but I like red/white/blue stuff sometimes .. and then there is Christmas lol. I’m wanting a true red so maybe the 2nd gen is my best bet. Now to stalk eBay for a low price. :)
