Dark Cherry on Ti on a cloudy day. I've been a long time DC hater, but I've come around to it. Side note, this picture was flagged on a discord server I'm a member of for being 'illicit'. VERY funny to me :D

I used to always run into share sheet not uploading photos to Discord and after awhile I wondered if it saw my arm as a phallus. Because it always seemed to be for bands like Peach lol. Pretty sure turning off the filter fixed it 😰

Nectarine v Nectarine. Pretty much the same band with the usual saturation drop of a solo loop companion when you get it under good light. Quick edit here.
Couldn't help myself just ordered the Nectarine Solo Loop in size 8 along with iPhone 13 Pro Max case in Nectarine!!! Should be here this Thursday. I also ordered Eucalyptus solo loop in size 8 but won't arrive until late April. I wonder why it is so popular. Debated Mineral Green & Pistachio as well. But I usually don't wear solo loops because I get a rash with prolonged wearing. Looks like I may go hunting for Beryl in sport band. I usually wear sport band and occasionally braided solo loop. Does the fit get smaller as the size gets smaller 7 vs 8? I wear 8 in both braided solo loop & solo loop. I ordered the Electric Orange Smart Folio for iPad Air 5 but using it with Air 4 and have to wait 6 - 8 weeks for it. I already received the braided solo loop for Electric Orange.
 
This is from before my current era of color-selective editing, so I’ve cropped out the offending Orange and Spicy Orange, but I think the rest look fine, especially for a color comparison.

I already ordered the Nectarine Solo Loop but usually wear sport band. I found a place that has new in box Nectarine Sport Band & Clementine Sport Band are they really that similar? Also getting Beryl Sport Band or Turquoise because I really like Mineral Green & Pistachio solo loop.

Remember, your local apple store might have them for pickup even faster.

Apple really likes this hot orange so they are pretty close but Clementine benefits greatly from different light. Get it out in the sun and gives more glow and interesting blood orange tones than Apricot or Nectarine.

I guess you could say Clementine gives the frost of Apricot with the Redness of Nectarine:

And you can’t go wrong with Beryl. Series 5 was such a glowy collection. Turquoise is kind of classic but I don’t find myself reaching for it a lot. Is it a hall of famer? Prob not

Might as well do this one as well, Nectarine Solo Loop is kind of the child of Clem and Nect SpBa:

Thank you for the comparison I have ordered both Nectarine & Clementine sport band along with Beryl & Turquoise. They should be here later this week. I ordered the bands off eBay from the seller macblowouts. Back in November 2021 I was able to get new in box Ultraviolet from them.

Just snagged a Peach sport band used off eBay.

I have most of orange bands but don't have Apricot, Papaya, and Spicy Orange.

Now only need Capri Blue & debating on Cactus

Clem and Nect really show their differences in natural (no direct sun) light. But the difference is very hard to capture.

Just had to order some more bands. I decided to get Papaya, Cactus, Pine Green sport bands which should arrive later this week. My collection of oranges is pretty much complete now, just missing Apricot, Spicy Orange. I have Clementine, Nectarine, Peach also on the way. And I thought I completed my orange collection when I added Hermes Orange.
 
What color are you using on the watch face with Lemon Zest? I am using Lemon Cream.
Apple is using Canary and I’ve found it’s best because the band has that lack of saturation in most lighting conditions. Doesn’t deserve the full blast of the Yellows you get in the generic top area of the wheel.
