Like many others in this thread, I seem to have caught Edition fever recently. The white ceramic is not my style so I picked up a SBTi instead courtesy of @JBlass421! Paired with my saddle brown classic buckle here.

Given that it’s 42mm, I’m going to guess Ocean Blue.

Looks stunning! I love the black hardware on the Classic Buckle as well

It’s dark now so terrible photos, apologies. However I’ve just taken a delivery from Amazon Renewed (which some of you may have been following from the other day) and I now own a new band...

Slightly annoying as the band was £389 and it only came with the S/M piece...but handy as that’s my size!

Oh, and of course it also came with a Ceramic S5! Which appears flawless, aside from a couple small marks on the underside that are probably from resting on a charger. Screen appears perfect and it’s all setup on my Apple account, which tells me it is in warranty until Jan 2022!

Downsides? It has 100% battery health which may or may not indicate the battery has been replaced (but Amazon Renewed guarantees a battery health of at least 80%. That may rule out a change as it wouldn’t have degraded much over the year, so it may just not have been used much?!).

Also, it came in a plain box, wrapped in a felt pouch with just a standard white puck charger (which may or may not be Apple).

So it appears, so far, that for £389 I may have found the Yoink of the year! Assuming you can live without the original box and the M/L band piece missing, which I think I can!

Still can’t quite believe it to be honest, best band purchase I ever made 😳😅
This is really crazy!! 😃
Naaah I'm not jealous. Really not. 😇 I'm happy for you that you won. You were bold enough to try, and you deserved to win. Enjoy your beautiful ceramic! 👍

I know it’s just so bizarre! I only started looking at ceramics last week as well. I do keep expecting the screen to fall of though 🙈😅

Nah it won't ! It's real!
But now you owe us magnificent photos so that the rest of us in the line can keep on dreaming.... 😁

Raise your hand if you don’t give Cactus the run it deserves (amber is the color of your energy)

My hand is raised. I *might* have worn it once
I would love to know definitively if all Soft White are created equal. That’s probably not an edition band. If could even be hard white.
Do you only have the Edition one? I'll compare my Edition properly with my wife's Soft White if so. A quick compare to see if what I got was Soft White and White 2 is all I did when I got it. There isn't a lot between Soft and White 2 in reality.
 
Need some help here. I just purchased a band advertised as "Vitamin C" but I'm trying to verify since it has no box. I've attached a photo here next to all the other orange bands I own. The one on the far left is the one in question. It looks very close to Clementine, but is just a bit more pastel/muted. (A bit hard to see, but It's a 44mm so released in 2018 or after)

Calling on my CSI team to tell me what I bought... Thanks!

My guess is clementine.

Clementine vs nectarine in the first photo. Or maybe it is apricot?

Definitely not VitC. That’s Clementine.
