There are several listings from this seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Or...var=632150399530&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
searching the serial number just says its a replacement for red, so its probably some version of product red.
So weird. Do you have pics of the demo boxes?

Maybe a regional change of name, or a third party trying to copy Apple’s MPN style?
@SpartaImpster, do you have more photos of the band/packaging?

I got one and it sucks! Horrible feel and very stiff...like paper over silicone. And faded color on the edges. Quality is an oxymoron for this rainbow band!
I’m sure the people hawking the nike loops for $70-150 are ripshit over this wholesaler tanking the market right now...
I may be an oddball, but personally I love the celestial loop as a winter season band. It’s got a very “cool” / “drab” vibe to it that makes a lot of sense during that season, IMO.
Change of scenery for @mikedop to give more variety than pool shots. Marine green band by the lake on a super hot, sunny Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day to @toxtrepla and all of the other fathers here!
It’s one of the best examples of a bad hero pic from Apple, IMO. Would love to see your own pics of it when the time comes, esp along side the bands/loops you think it shares similar vibes with. Midnight Fog is one, I’d say.
Oh, and well-played @athousandbands - I’m just glad I don’t have a national reason to hate orange-tone bands

Haha you say that and yet I know for a fact you own many bands dark enough to recall a certain Prime Minister’s killer Halloween costume...It’s one of the best examples of a bad hero pic from Apple, IMO.

Congrats on that list & your new mentality.
UV, Rose Red, and the 2020 prides are some of my “frequent flyers” - very nice!
Hey all, new user here. I just spent an hour or so reading the last 100 or so pages! 😆 For the longest time I only had 3 OEM bands (the two my watches came with and the 2017 Nylon Pride) but since the lockdown started I’ve been on a buying kick and now have 13 with two more on the way!
I totally get the obsession now and I keep telling myself, “OK that was the last one.” And then I find another great deal on eBay or mercari...
eta: oh funny! I actually posted that pic of the Spring bands. I wasn’t sure if the teal ones were Spearmint or not because they look much bluer in my pic than I’ve seen online. Maybe it was the lighting in the Apple store. It was from April 2019 if that narrows it down.

Honestly I don’t remember. I just thought it looked really nice and took a pic in case I wanted to go back another time and get it. (Which I never did, too bad.)
Ah. Well, my guess is Spruce Fog, but I guess we may never know for sure!

Also, just realized this said it was a demo box. I'm 90% sure it's just a Product Red labeled as Red Velvet. I remember hearing a while back one of the reds was internally referenced as "Dragon Red" or something like that, and @Pascal70 says his Flat Silver bands were named Light Grey on the box, so I think they're all just demo names so the employees can tell them apart more easily. Not exactly sure why, though.
Speaking of, @Pascal70, can you get some photos of the back of the boxes with the name and model number? I'm just curious to see that. Thanks!
