I bought a awoke series 3 non LTE and the pink silicone band or came with its suffering from cookie transfer from my various shirts and pants. Has anyone else had this happen? The rep at the Apple store told me to purchase a darker band but I since I love the color I was hoping my band was somehow defective.

I've had no issues with color transfer on my pink sand watch band. In fact none of my other lighter color watch bands (lavender, stone, and white) have never had any color transfer issues and I only own genuine Apple Watch bands.

My friend had this problem with her white Apple band. Not sure what she was wearing but bluish/green dye transferred over much of the band. I was able to remove most of it with rubbing alcohol but looking closely faint traces are still there. Bought her a dark gray sports band for her birthday which she liked better.
