Does anyone have an idea of what colour this is? It was simply listed as “Blue”. In person it kinda has a slight teal vibe going on.F7270A5D-E822-4264-8582-D1377A77FD77.jpeg
 
Hi guys, I need help again. I purchaised from eBay this band last week for 18€. It had no box but it was labeled as like new. It came with both parts S/M and M/L. It has the Nike brand on it, it looks and feels great, I feel no differences with the OEM sport bands I already have, everything is fine. But I have a doubt: it's supposed to be the Royal Pulse/Black Nike sport band, but it looks Blue only under direct sunlight. Indoor it looks really purple/violet, more than blue, as you can see in these pictures. So I'm asking myself: is the band legit? Do you guys have this "purple vibes" whit this band as well?
dropping some pictures.

Definitely OEM. Royal Pulse is just that sort of shade of blurple.

Speaking of, I sent those first gen watches to Apple. There’s no way to keep them on WatchOS 1.0 unfortunately. They’ll hopefully update them and send them back on 5.3.2, where I can actually use them. They’re still brand new though, so no scratches/scuffs and they have fresh batteries (other than sitting for 5 years) so we’ll see how they run when I get them back!
How did you go about setting up the WatchOS upgrade with Apple? Do you reckon it’s something they could do at a Genius Bar?

I’m currently negotiating with someone on eBay about an S2 Ceramic that is open box but unused/unactivated. If I can get the price down enough, I suspect I’ll have a similar problem regarding the ancient OS.
