When you buy a ceramic Watch before someone else on the forum and their delivery date is already past, and yours is still in Kentucky on its way to you because you live in New Zealand
Looks like G1 Midnight to me.
Yep, that looks like a G1 Midnight Blue Sport Loop. I've seen some fakes of this one floating around recently (yes, with the size marking). Do you have a picture of the velcro tabs? If it looks 3+ years old then it's probably real. If it looks brand new and the velcro is misaligned or too shiny, then it's likely a fake.
First generation midnight blue, not actually reflective I believe. It’s from the generation that has the whitish-clear threads over the top, so it looks shimmery!
Big Sophie’s choice energy but Peach wins. Top yoink, Mercari dude had no idea what he had. Of course I paid before telling him. In the order you asked.
I’ll post my comparison tomorrow. Not sure my seller knew what they had either, they just casually cast it up for sale with a few other more common bands, all priced the exact same.
Flamingo is such an adaptable smooth pastel for many outfits and seasons but peach is in the lickable wing of the hall of fame, presented by Mac OS X Aqua UI
Final pic of the day now that my Deep Navy has arrived!
It’s the perfect shade of blue I was hoping for. You can see what a difference it is from the Midnight Blue (1)
Surf Blue, Midnight Blue 1, Hermès Orange, Deep Navy, Cactus

Does Canary Yellow have the muted haziness that some sport bands (especially pink and orange) have?
Looking for a bright, bold yellow. Not sure if I should be looking for Canary or first gen Yellow.
Nicely done, that shows the difference between Deep Navy and Midnight 1 very well.
Canary is the purest yellow, bright and strident without being neon or custard toned. If you’re not interested in being complete though, do yourself a favour and just grab Ginger; it’s very similar. Yellow G1 is the most custard of the bunch.
The entire family Yellow:

I judge anyone who's trying to sell a Black, White, or Pink Sand sport band for more than $20
Love fog, I found one one Mercari for $10 in excellent condition (like brand new), and it came with the 3 straps.
Haven’t been able to find fog anywhere. But I do have a pink sand that I can’t give away. 😂
My Plum is also coming from Nashville, to Phoenix, AZ. I wonder if the factory where the bands are made is near there somewhere?
Is it FedEx? FedEx is hubbed in TN. UPS Kentucky. Apple dumps items there when they’re fresh from China, I think. So they’re probably jamming out these Plums every day while the Northerns and Kumquats sit in the regional hubs collecting dust, like Ontario, CA for us folk in the southland.
Yeah, you’re right. It’s fedex. I thought it switched to UPS when it crossed the border, but we shall see!
I’m also looking forward to seeing what the new spring colours are.
Yeah i wanted to talk about FedEx earlier in response to you but I was under the impression you don’t have them up there. Or maybe they just haven’t been used by Apple in Canada yet. I mean it was weird when that one crazy iPhone launch, Apple started using UPS here. Growing up it felt so fancy that Apple used FedEx. Not that they’re soooo much better than UPS, especially if it’s not actual FedEx, aka FedEx Express.
There's nothing wrong with OG Yellow, just it's a very custard yellow and it sounded like you wanted a bright yellow. Also Ginger is still available from Apple so it's easy to get hold of.
I found Canary was the hardest to get when I was completing my set - though I bought OG Yellow in 2015 when it launched so I don't know how hard it is to find. I also bought Lemon Cream when it was current and Apple online in NZ had Mellow Yellow available for ages, so I got that from Apple also.
Chargerstore might have Canary (he didn't when I was looking for it) and probably has Yellow, but buying Ginger from Apple will be much the same cost. I think you might struggle with any of the discontinued yellows if you're hoping for yoink pricing, though others will know better than me as I only have access to eBay from here.
Ah, ok I see the custard tones now that you say it. I’m worried the Canary might have that muted, hazy look I’m trying to avoid, but I might like the Canary shade more...
I do see one edit:OG yellow on Mercari under $40 right now. No Canary on Mercari, Poshmark, or eBay though.
