Spruce fog for a five-mile run:

Then switched to Neon Lime for the afternoon.

Today’s bands were Gray for sitting on the couch, then gray for walking over to the kitchen to get a 650 calorie bag of chips (which I may or may not have eaten all of)

Coincidentally, Yesterday’s band was also Gray. I think I’m getting a bit lazy.
 
Yeah, this thread has a tendency to make you say “Well, I only just found out that existed... and now I need it!”

Maybe about a month ago @athousandbands convinced me to send ~$180 to someone across the world in order to get a cool Nike band.

no kidding?! I can see myself getting in on these international runs for bands too in the future as the addiction deepens.
Someone just sold, and quite quickly bought a 44mm celestial teal this am on eBay for 250+shipping from some other country. Quite shocked as how high that was posted and grabbed by somebody!
 
I think I should change my band to gray too.
It’s a bleak color for a bleak life right now.

Either schools will reopen and I’ll get back to walking to and from, or I’m going to say enough is enough and set out to explore the other side of the mountains.

No kidding $250? Ouch. I mean, I’m desperate, but not $250 desperate!

I’m a bit more drawn to your Rose Red!

ha didn’t see that. And after charging 250, they of course charge 9 dollars shipping. 🙄

Also could somebody do me a favor. If anyone has a celestial teal and cactus, could you post up a comparison photo? I want to see if cactus is similar to celestial teal without the black Nike holes. Would really appreciate it!

Yikes! Got to wonder whether this is part of some sophisticated international money-laundering operation!
 
thanks for the cactus endorsement! close to pulling the trigger at that price, still a bit undecided if I need it, as is always the case with these band decisions.
Is cactus anywhere to being close to a celestial teal band without the holes? Just curious as that may sway my decision...
Okay, I get it now. Cactus is cool. I don’t have pine green, sorry! Closest bands I have are turquoise, green, and spearmint. Which aren’t very close at all.

Added my post from a bit back^ Don’t have comparisons but I do have shots. I love the cactus and I can be picky.

great thank you! It looks to me that cactus looks a lot like celestial teal without the holes, even more so than dark teal compared to celestial teal...but I don’t have any of these bands to make a comparison.

Trying to decide if I can justify buying cactus when I already have pine green, celestial teal, and dark teal.

I am also trying to decide if I really need grapefruit

trying to justify cactus too, although I don’t have pine green, celestial teal, or dark teal. 😞.
Any chance you could post a comparison between your dark teal and celestial teal? I haven’t seen a comparison of those done here before.
 
On the subject of overpriced bands, I jumped on a boxed Nike Black/Pink Blast for £10 earlier today. I don’t collect Nike, so didn’t know how good a deal that was (obvs, any band for that price is pretty good). I hit up eBay and found this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274417151758

‘Wow’ I thought - selling for double retail, so must be old/rare. So imagine my surprise when I noticed that it only came out last year and Apple still sell it. Am I missing something? People actually seem to be buying at those inflated prices too...

@techno-Zen posted a comparison a bit back...
I think I definitely like the Spearmint sport band over Cactus. It's nice but not really unique in feel to my collection. Likely be an out of production sale later on.

celestial teal, cactus, spearmint, midnight turquoise

I think those eBay sellers are hopeful that someone in a country that doesn’t have any left will want it bad enough. It’s a discontinued color, so no hope of finding one in store, and not every country has them in stock online. For some people, eBay auctions are the only choice.

I picked mine up around December for $25. It’s not a terribly rare color if you have patience.

Pine green, celestial teal, midnight turquoise/aurora green, dark tealView attachment 938066,
Probably going to pick up Cactus soon. Celestial is a dream, but man, not paying $259 + tax for a USED one.

Nike Black/Pink Blast? I'm seeing it for sale on Apple's site for both the 40mm and 44mm...

Get Cactus! It's such a nice color in person.
Yeah, Pink Blast is discontinued. It has been since I think Fall or Spring. Apple only has them in stock because they can’t sell them in stores. Once the stock goes out online, that’s it. I couldn’t imagine they have more than maybe 150-200 left.
