Northern looks very different in this pic. I returned mine, i’m not a fan of the texture of the new release sport bands (it seems like it was used already-same with plum, thankfully i like the color so i kept it.) and it looks very similar to cactus.

It’s not very accurate but see my photos without kumquat to be sure. That’s why I gave the disclaimer, you have to really jam on the tint and warmth to make any kumquat band look accurate. Also Northern is pretty chameleon-like, but yeah it’s not this purple/red. Plus every silicon loop is super soft and (I think) deeper in color than its counterpart. Just give in and get a little sili’
Looks like i’m making a trip to the apple store this weekend
i heard sizing on the silicone loop is a little bit different from the braided loop. I guess there’s only one way to find out!
Flat Silver / Laser Blue got me too.
I had an email reply from Chargie just this morning. Apparently "the full set" of prototypes he had went to a buyer in the USA. I wonder who that could have been...?
To be fair I hadn't hit him up for anything since before his early October holiday until the Black / PP 38/40 showed up on eBay, so maybe neither of us is feeling the love from the other.
As best you can without making them use a million wet wipes, try to suss out the color differences between like bands of the silicon and fluoroelastomer variety and report back...Looks like i’m making a trip to the apple store this weekendi heard sizing on the silicone loop is a little bit different from the braided loop.

bit disappointed the crack marketing team didn’t think of releasing “Sky Red” earlier this year.
@athousandbands always does great shots..he's even making me regret not getting the gold ss apple watch when apple still made that shade
He makes me want to buy bands that I don’t even like or want! Lol
Just because I don’t have them,

It’s ever so slightly darker and then also duller than Cornflower. Northern Blue really has a frosty/icy feel to it. It’s also more chameleon-like. In some light it matches the watch face color and sometimes they look like two different shades.
