Show off your Apple Watch

[Dino F]

It is except for the name! How much was yours if you don't mind me asking?

It was £21.99 from Amazon UK:

That looks identical to mine:

I've actually now changed out the lugs on this strap - I didn't like how the strap would slide up and down on the pins (along the circled part, below):

...perhaps thats my OCD but often, the strap would not be centered on the lug, as it would slide up and down!!

I'm now using these lugs(they have spring pins). The colour doesn't match 100% (they're a shiny space grey colour) but at least it keeps the strap centered on the watch:

The part you have drawn around in red is the part of the watch I HATE. All Apple AND third party bands that use this link look like they are simply being held on by a fat staple. So ordinary looking. The actual lugs you are now using look like they are a PART of the watch, much more elegant and, dare I say it, Apple-type. Although the one lug on the top left of the watch on your bottom pic does not look like it's sitting correct.

Although the one lug on the top left of the watch on your bottom pic does not look like it's sitting correct.

..it is sitting correctly in the groove, however, there is a little movement in the lugs (both the top and bottom lugs) in that the ends seem to be able to move up and down very slightly. Its as if the middle portion of the lug is the only part which is holding on to the watch itself (these are the exact ones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011RQIIDQ/ref=twister_B014SBSH4W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 )! I guess because they are not made by Apple, the dimensions are not 100% exact so they don't fit in the groove, on the watch, exactly 100% correctly. I'm not overly fussed anyway - they look better than the previous ones I had!!

That watch case is massive.

True .... Defense case from BestBuy.... Bronze , red or blue was available for like $30. Wish I got the red one. Had to get it. I work on cars and stuff.... I scratched it the first week I had it without a case :/

How unfortunate.. Sounds reasonable to get a watch case for your job.

Brilliant! Don't think I can monogram my chosen watch face but I'm going to look now.
[doublepost=1460566020][/doublepost]Yeah, not seeing any "Monogram" on the Watch App (on the phone, right?)

Go to general/clock in the apple watch app on your phone, its in there

Sadly monogram is only available on the Color face, which is not my favorite.

Do you have to change watch face for it to show up because it definitely is not there.

Under General I have;

About
Software Update
App Install
Airplane Mode
Do Not Disturb
Watch Orientation
Accessibility
Language & Region
Apple ID
Enable Handoff
Wrist Detection
Wake Screen
Night Stand Mode
Usage
Reset

That's it, that's all.

It's in the clock app

You can actually just copy paste this right into the spot.... No shortcut needed

You can actually copy paste in a lot more than just an apple. Check and try out more in the above link.

Finally took the plunge. Apple Watch Sport Gold. Ordered two bands as well. Will post back when I get them.

Gotcha! Sorry I guess I was misinterpreting your instructions.

Any particular reason you got the gold one?

 

[rawCpoppa]

I had a hard time choosing. Chose the gold after seeing it with the black link bracelet and midnight blue leather band with the ridges.

Chose it based on it not being a common colour that seemed not too subtle yet not flashy.

Ruled out stainless steel as well because of the price.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I never wanted to go through the headache of creating that shortcut to an Apple symbol and had no clue that I could just copy and paste it from a post here. I'm using the modular face right now because of complications but when I use one with monogram now I have it set. Plus that web site looks cool and has an associated app. Again, thanks for this tip!

The Monogrm Plus app, is that what you are referring to? I use that one and it is great for allowing multiple monograms on different watch faces. You can even use pictures instead of text.

No, nothing specific to the watch. I quoted the post which included the link that I was referring to but here it is again.

...wow, cheers for that app mention, I never knew you could do stuff like that!

Just received two third party bands from Amazon. Milanese loop in Gold and also Blue. I had previously bought a black one too that is fine but not up to Apple quality (thinner) from a different Amazon vendor in January. But these two new ones are nicer and thicker and fell closer to the Apple ML bracelet. The lugs also fit the watch very well. To be honest they fit better than the gold nylon Apple band the watch came with. The gold looks great with my sport gold watch. The blue one is nice but it's not quite as dark a blue as I'd hoped. I'll try it with my space grey sport later.

Here's the Gold Sport with Gold ML from Amazon.

[doublepost=1460661840][/doublepost]ETA: These bands are listed as sold and supplied by "Arbor Home" if you want to search them. The gold pictured above is their "Champaign Gloden" (SIC). They also have Golden which look much brighter. The one I got is a very good match to the Sport Gold Watch.
[doublepost=1460663670][/doublepost]A few more pics of various combos. SGS and Blue, SGS and Gold, than all 3 ML bands I have in profile. Not sure if you can see it or not but the gold and blue are definitely thicker than the black one I got previously.

I received my white leather cuff, two regular leather bands, and alligator patterned leather band. It looks stunning in person. Note that my watch face is white but the sun reflection made the watch face a hint of pink.
