Does anyone have Marine Green sports band to show? Even better if it’s compared to beryl or similar
Thanks

Here is Marine Green. I don't have anything very similar (like Beryl) but here is is with Northern Blue (top), Cactus (2nd down) and Seafoam (bottom).

I’m 10,000% what I have is flamingo. I bought them both sizes retail. Dop’s Vintage Rose arrived before the holiday yesterday and is lighter than my so-called mystery band. I thought faerie settled it and defended my honor when she pointed out the perception issue when next to peach.

Yours is also kind of giving me that same illusion where nearby Peach makes Flam lose its orange. I’ll admit I was being somewhat facetious/professor-y when I was inviting Future to show us his Flam, which I knew wasn’t forthcoming.

Also look at my connectors, they match, whilst LP and VR have contrasting connectors.

What is really strange is that most of your shots are pretty good, colourwise, but if this is indeed Flamingo, it's just a mile off. Not even close. Just compare the pictures, it looks so much more like Light Pink in FenC's picture than Flamingo in either his or mine. Maybe you're just messing around too much with ProRaw and stuff.

Also, what do you mean with "wasn't forthcoming"? Why wouldn't I take a picture of my Flamingo? And I sure did. I must say I don't appreciate you "playing dumb" ("maybe I misnamed the band") while being "10.000%" sure your band is Flamingo.
 
I need your help folks. Just receive this band with no box, not really sure of the color I’m thinking OG orange. Here is it next to nectarine, papaya and vitamin C.

Also git this one and black WN together for just 15€, so really good deal.

Take light gray out in the sunlight. Not saying that makes it worth keeping but it’s definitely its own color. Also Light Gray wins over other grays for me because it’s from this new era of gummy and soft bands. All those old grays are so hard and a tiny bit shiny.
Here they both are on a white windowsill lit by a large window of natural light. It's an unedited ProRAW photo. I just... can't see the difference. (Concrete on the left, Light Grey on the right). Not saying others can't, maybe my eyes just aren't sensitive enough! You're right on the texture though - Light Grey is much nicer. Boxing Concrete up now so I don't get them mixed up, then it will be finding a new owner!

Cool, not done any trades yet
Aaaaannnnnd... I've bought one of his Marine Greens too. My wife has had that colour since release, but I've always been a bit jealous of it. Couldn't resist putting an offer in...

I've been lucky enough to have duplicates of some rare-ish bands in the past - as they were ones he didn't have in stock at the time, we did some straight-swaps.

Oh, I can definitely see a difference there. Light grey appears slightly darker on my screen (and IRL).

Hmmmm... a boxed Concrete you say?...

Cool, I only just bought beryl from him which I think marine is brighter than and just what I’m looking for so beryl might be for sale. Now I’ve got the ceramic I’m slimming down on bands as a lot I don’t like with the watch colour.

Ah, now that's the advantage of having three different colour watches - I can find a match for every band! You're right though - The ceramic doesn't go with everything.
 
That’s nice. Deffo darker than gen2
Yes, it's definitely not Gen 2, as it's one of the first bands I bought shortly after getting my first Apple Watch end of 2015. It could be Concrete, which was issued in 2016, but Concrete seems a colder shade of gray and Stone a warmer one, and my band is definitely a warmer shade. But for lack of comparison, I cannot tell, so I'd welcome a daylight-no-direct sun comparison shot if someone can do that 😊

Found myself some great nike sport band deals today at two local shops: Black/Desert Sand and Black/Pink blast for 29€ each, as well as Teal Tint/Tropical Twist and Black/Hyper Grape for 35€ each - all new in sealed boxes. Happy me! 😇

Edit: Plus a new sealed Midnight Turquoise for retail 🎉😍

In that case, I'm just going to be happy I can't really see it so I don't have to justify keeping both :p The hobby is expensive enough as it is!

Yes, it's lightly used but boxed. Might be listing it on Reddit soon so keep an eye out (!), would like to swap for another band ideally.
