Wow, so many of them look so drab. Remember when Apple used to criticize other companies for using beige?

Pearl white ceramic and no white bands. Is it because the event was after Labor Day?

I was excited to order a Ultra 4, until I saw the new bands it comes with...

I really don't want to pay for any of those colors. I wish there was a option to order an Ultra 4 cheaper without any of those bands.
