Amazon has tons of bands for around $8-10
I never buy watch bands from Apple for Samsung. They are over priced IMHO....
Got a tip for us?

Nice line up you got there.....My OnePlus Watch 3 in the house
, my goal is one watch per phone 
I'm sure I can find the answer online elsewhere but what functionality does the crown have on the OnePlus?Thanks, my goal is one watch per phone
both the crown and the lower button can both be set to a single tap or a hold function which takes you to whichever app or action you wish
Keeping it simple for first watch face

Jelous!
Was expecting an April delivery, Started my work trip and got notification that it will be delivered on Friday!!
Fighting FedEx usual **** system to have them hold it at a local location. Request has not yet been granted so I am worried it will be sent back to One+ before I am back home next Friday.
Had I known they use FedSux, I would have waited to order the watch when they were in stock....
I know what 2 are. What is the 3rd watch @Bkdodger?
I placed the order on March 21 so I thought that was really fast. The order shipped from New Jersey so that’s probably why I got it so fast ..I didn’t think I was gonna get it till April., I have the Apple Watch Ultra and Samsung Ultra
I tell you OnePlus is just killing it, I'm about 27 hours off the charger I think maybe a little bit more and my battery is at 80%, I don't use it to sleep track as all my watches I take off before going to bed. Watch has been excellent so far with notifications no drain on the OnePlus 13. Early results are excellent 
My first watch band came in today from Amazon this one will be for a little more dress up. I hate taking these pins out to fix the links SMH I'm so bad at it my sight so crappy from up close LMAO
Do you have a link for that band? How is it on the arm, and how is it with the "arm hair removal" department. Love the way link bracelets look, but arm hair removal is an annoying "feature" with some of them lol.My first watch band came in today from Amazon this one will be for a little more dress up.

I was going to run stock for a bit to see if I liked it at all. I don't get to see my new watch until Friday

It's a very light feeling band, I've not worn it yet while working from home and gym only using the original. I don't have arm hair so not the best opinion.Do you have a link for that band?

Thanks for the links!
I too hardly have ANY arm hair, but one of the link bracelets I got for my AWU made it feel like I was getting micro wax treatments multiple times a day lol.

Haha that's funny, I think it won't be an issue with mine but I will update once I wear it a full day.
Curious - how do you use AI for that? I assume you are talking about some Android specific functionality and not just Copilot?
I tried to use Copilot to speed up some calculations and while the formulas were correct, it ended up hallucinating like crazy and spewing out hilariously wrong results - “2+2=7.83” level of wrong. Luckily it was so ridiculously off that it was easy to spot, but otherwise I would have no idea. Really soured me on the entire thing.
I still actually "booked" it all manually, but the amazing job that Gemini did in finding 4+ star hotels in specific areas was really impressive. Probably the best thing it did was circle to search. Both the Booking and Expedia apps suck when it comes to copy and paste. We were running a bit late the first night and I needed to call the hotel to tell them we'd be past midnight and I couldn't just copy the phone number from the app, but I was able to circle the phone number and call them. On iOS, it would have been a much more painful process.
I think AI is still a ways off from fully being able to book a trip successfully. Plus, there are some things I'll always want to do myself, but Gemini really became a good sidekick in a couple areas.
I have a few 3rd party bands and a couple non-smart watches with rubberized bands and they all give me slight irritation after wearing them for a few hours.
Apple bands are super comfortable.

Decided to turn off "Night Mode" on my Galaxy Watch Ultra. It felt way too aggressive and was coming on too much inside even with lights on. I felt the same way about the Apple Watch Ultra too. Night mode (the all red) is cool but just too aggressive. Wish there was just a quick setting toggle for it so when I go to bed, I could turn it on.
I received the silicone bands today perfect for changing up the colors though I would prefer black on the buckle
