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.
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

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 and demand deal maybe?
Supply & Demand
Supply and de-band
upvoted you first time. if u keep posting Imma not
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
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.
Poop
capitalism
Green is not a creative color
But white is?
Well the singing notepad said only green aint creative soooo
Because it’s ugly AF
Because it’s uglier
Ha!
Because its green. Lol
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
$490 for open box wow
Cuz it’s ugly!
Just ordered the AW2 for $730 👍🤩
The green model is older, starlight is new release!
Nope both came out 2022
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
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.
