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

Demand- supply

[–] jesus_wasgay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because barracudas will pay anything.

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

[–] salloumk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Comfortable_End1350@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The green band looks great with the ultra

[–] MarvelousProtein@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because nobody likes it

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

[–] Shivasorber@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bcoz Nobody buys it

[–] basic_is@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Same reason on Amazon the inventory levels dictate price on a over stocked variant

[–] SkyWatchAllNight@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Green is dumb

[–] Sylvurphlame@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why is the Green band fifty dollars less?

Less demand. Simple as that.

[–] beanie_0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Less popular? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] vegas_gal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Supply and demand. That’s 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.
