Because nobody likes it
Maybe the color is not as popular 🤷♂️
Follow up question: is buying a gen-1 Ultra a bad idea with the 2 out?
Gen 1 Ultra is perfectly fine. The updates on the 2 are incremental.
I bought this green one from Best Buy and an ultra 2 from Amazon for $740. Sounds like keeping the ultra for $650 is worth it. I don’t plan on upgrading for years and years so that’s the only thing making me want to keep the ultra 2.
Dunno why on earth u got downvoted?!? Have an upvote. Best deal I saw for an Ultra was on eBay, but they’re refurbs… still, from a company that sells a lot of them, and they’re guaranteed to have at least 85% battery. Can also always return if it’s not what you expected. For $485, fyi. I found it on slickdeals, if you need to find the specific link (you need to use a coupon code iirc) most folks there seem to think it’s a good deal.
Not at all.
Just don’t pay full price for it, maybe $150 or more discounted
Was on the fence as well but I just snagged a eBay refurbished gen 1 for $480 before taxes by using a coupon that gave me $120 off. Comes with a year of eBay warranty as well so check it out if the deals still active
If it’s based on less demand that tells you the prices are not based on cost of material, but how much the user base is willing to pay.
What a rip off
Same reason I bought the blue series 7. Everyone goes for black or silver, saved me 50 bucks though.
Bcoz Nobody buys it
Supply and demand deal maybe?
Supply & Demand
Supply and de-band
upvoted you first time. if u keep posting Imma not
Green band was how I got a good deal on an S7 a year ago. Green seems to be consistently cheaper and I never see any out in public. Probably related.
No one likes or buys the green they need to clear inventory probably.
Have it and love it!
Have it and love it!
Probably because Green band looks not good. Green is always the least expensive color for lots of things. No luxury brand uses Green.
I have the green Alpine Loop that came with my Ultra. Looks fantastic. Millions of other people agree with me. Most secure Ultra band. Ultra comfy.
I have a green iPhone too. And a green iMac. Apple clearly disagrees with you.
Prolly less popular
Why do you buy official bands? It’s a genuine question, no offense… I just bought apple watch a month ago, and when I wanted to buy metallic band like I had on my old smart watch, I was SO startled by these prices. Like Jesus freaking Christ, how can a band cost 1/4 of an expensive smart watch. Got a few different ones from AliExpress for like 9$ total, picked one that was the most comfortable, and wearing it for two weeks now
I have sensitive skin, so for me I don’t wanna risk that.
I’ve never bought an official band on its own, but these come with the watch.
Likely irrelevant to most people, but a friend of mine had an aftermarket Nike band knockoff on his watch that wouldn’t come off. Bands got stuck to the watch somehow and when he went to Apple to get it fixed they refused the warranty work since it wasn’t an official Apple band.
Supply and demand. That’s it.
