I've one question regarding two bands that I bought recently. One is labeled as Pink and the other one as Apricot. To me they really look identical (in real even closer than on the photo which is attached to this post). Are these two colors really so close and not distinguishable from each other or is maybe one of the bands wrongly labeled? I'm confused since the look different on the chargerstore pics.

On the photo there is a Clementine on top as a comparison.

Yeah, guys, probably somebody does have 100% Apricot and 100% Pink to compare?

Welcome to the form. Be prepared... none of us have money around here. It’s all “invested” into our hobbies.

As @jwlbel stated, $20 NIB for Smokey Mauve is a fantastic deal. Nowadays you’ll be hard pressed to find it new for under $60. I say grab it before someone else does!

If I "invest" any more, my husband just might "invest" in a room at a psych facility. LOL

I sold Apricot a long time ago but it looks very different from Pink, much more orange. The bands you got are both „Pink“, I’d guess.

If it was this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333581823144

Then you got 2015 pink.

I held off on this color and decided to just go for it and was pleasantly surprised! It is a gorgeous color and the orange sheen on top of the teal looks awesome!
Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green Nike Sport Loop

Looks very nice! Yes the orange with the teal mixed in looks really good on this band, I got it early since I knew it was unique. Like you, I also jumped late on another nike band, the world indigo/lime green one, which should arrive today. Since we can't see it in stores anymore, was just too tempted esp based on other pictures in this thread. I have the hyper grape loop also so hopefully its different enough.

The hyper crimson/green band is definitely unique and nothing like it out there, good pickup!

I try not to hype these too much but I love loops and I love Nike loops.

This one along with World Indigo/Lime Blast & Pink Blast/True Berry are keepers!

My rainy evening lighting is not great I’m afraid, but left is Apricot, right is Pink with Clementine over the top, as yours.
Definitely a perceptible difference between Apricot and Pink

Black classic buckle looks great with the ceramic. I’m excited to see how it looks with the black lugs when I get them. I think it’ll be perfect if it (hopefully) matches the black.

Wow, I love it! I have this one in the mail and now I’m way more psyched for it!

I have one too and while I WANT to love it I have reservations. Maybe it doesn’t pop enough in my wild colors collection? Maybe with the gold watch it takes on an old man vibe? I’ll post my versions. I think it’s great, I just wish it wasn’t so dense, and the orange popped more. I am on the fence.

I actually got the World Indigo/Lime Blast shortly after it came out. That one is really nice! You’re going to love it and I don’t have the Hyper Grape (I do wish I could have it!) but it’s been compared and the two are both unique in their own ways. The Hyper Grape has a dark hue to it and looks dominantly blue/black from far and World Indigo/Lime Blast has a pretty significant green hue to it. Let us know what you think when you get it.

I can see what you mean by imagining it with the gold SS.

Nice! Hmm for some reason I cannot find this face. Is this exclusive to the ceramic watch maybe?

And yeah, Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green is so much nicer in person that on Apple's site! I bought it just because of photos from here!
 
Got seafoam in late last night. Here’s a lineup. Ignore my dirty white band and sad tropical Nike at the top. Spearmint doesn't really belong but he’s there anyway.

It seems muddier on me, since my watch color is warm, maybe it needs the colder tone stainless to make the colors pop on the band.

Yes with the Silver SS it looks awesome. Can’t wait to see it on @[mention]Pitch [/mention]Ceramic and I’m sure it looks awesome with the darker casings too. I’m sure @[mention]twanj [/mention] can confirm that.

Nice!!

I ordered this band earlier in the week & am eagerly awaiting it's arrival along with the Nike Pride sport band. UPS missed the target delivery window yesterday, but I'm hoping it was a one-off hiccup and they come through today. :: fingers crossed ::

Thanks to all of you. I'm now pretty sure that I have two Pink bands - or one band and one backup :D
