Maybe the color is not as popular 🤷‍♂️

Because fuck you, that’s why

Follow up question: is buying a gen-1 Ultra a bad idea with the 2 out?

Because it’s ugly AF

Supply and demand deal maybe?

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.

Supply & Demand

No one likes or buys the green they need to clear inventory probably.

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

capitalism

Poop

$490 for open box wow

Because it’s uglier

Based on my experience in products and how much you can sell them talking about factors the color is valued in tech (more in iPhone products)some colors do not have a wide market, some group of people may prefer the white one and the green one is left behind when choosing one based on that the market adjust the price and make the white one more expensive because probably they have a long list of green ones and less units in White so they are saying to the people “Hey buy one in green better we have a better price for it”. Its all about marketing

Cuz it’s ugly!

Because its green. Lol

Just ordered the AW2 for $730 👍🤩

The green model is older, starlight is new release!

Supply and de band.

Green is not a creative color

Some people never experienced grey market where a phone of a popular color costs $300 more lol

I bought it Day 1 over a year now. Glad to see that it is Holding its value. I do need a new Band though. I have been using the same Orange since Day 1. I do wash it regularly, but I am in need of something new Color wise.

I usually buy a Brand New Band every year since I do like getting the Official Bands.

Demand- supply

Because barracudas will pay anything.

Buy the green one and just change the straps (band).

They’re trying to offload more of the green one as they have more of it than starlight I guess. I’d definitely go for the green as it’s nicer IMO and in this case cheaper too.

Less demand

The green band looks great with the ultra

Probably because it have less demand than the others

Supply and demand

More importantly, why is any band for this watch more than $40?

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.
