Fading was a minor issue, outside of the chemical reaction. The type of coloring they were using was not setting properly with the band material. The color was not consistent and in some cases "bleeding" out to stain things.

Plastics are so well understood in industrial chemistry there are even standards for fading and colorant bleed, The fact that the colorant bled noticeably AT ALL speaks volumes about the quality of the plastic as only the very cheapest plastics bleed.

All of my older bands are now faded. The red faded the worst.
Really doesn't matter as I have so many. I was disappointed in the Figment bands I ordered. When you have a small arm, the Figment only shows on the underside of your arm since it covers such a small area of the band.
