Is this your watch “daily driver”?

I also have the Dark Cherry leather link.

BTW, I find the leather link bands leave an impression on the underside of my wrist. Goes away when I remove the watch. Is that to be expected? Thanks.
 
Will get one, eventually when Apple has some available ?

The marks just means you closed it tightly I guess. Braided loop could have the same effect for example
 
I am wondering to get it myself the Milanese loop for my upcoming 45mm ss graphite but not as a daily driver but still I don't wanna scratch the watch with the loop.
 
Bought the S7 with the Milanese loop but only because that was all they had. If I keep the S7 I'll ask for a no-receipt return of the Milanese loop. I think you're probably wearing your watch too tight, though. I almost always wear the Nike bands and don't get imprints of the holes in the band.
 
Purchased the SS with Milanese and it’s typically my day-to-day, but I also switch out with other SS bands and the leather links.

I only get imprints with the leather link bands, and IIRC the leather loop as well. I think it's because the leather is so supple, you end up wearing it tighter than the other bands. I never get imprints with my stainless steel link or any of the sport bands.
 
I am glad to say that it will be, starting tomorrow. I had it with my AW 4, so will be a re-DEIS overly since I didn’t wear any Watch for 2 years :)

Enjoy the new watch.

I got mine from ATT and it's coming tomorrow. I like the Milanese loop but I'd rather have a leather strap. I wonder if I can do a no receipt return to apple even though I didn't get it there.

I don’t think so. I have heard only for Apple Watch purchases from Apple. Even then, I have heard conflicting things.

When I picked up my watch with the ML, at the Apple Store, I just purchased a leather link band, as an added item. I use both. The ML is my primary band.
 
I'm getting my first Milanese tomorrow (45mm Graphite SS) so I'll report back how it goes. I've been a Link Bracelet owner since Series 0 so I'm used to metal straps but this will be a different feel. My wife loves her Milanese. The only issue is it does slightly loosen during the day at times (you just have to readjust it). I think I will be happy to have the infinite adjustability and can live with the need to occasionally re-adjust.

I also own the original Leather Loop which always felt a tad uncomfortable and I never use it anymore. I don't know how the new ones differ but those magnet bumps are bound to put some pressure on the skin.

BTW my delivery estimate was Nov 1-8, so I was pleasantly surprised today to get a notice that it was en-route for delivery tomorrow!

Regarding the leather link, I get bump marks on the underside of my wrist, unless it is very loose and then the watch slides up and down. I still like the leather link as an alternative band.

Since I charge the watch over night, my wrist is back to normal within an hour or two.

I got my 45mm Graphite SS w/ Milanese loop yesterday, but haven't opened the band yet (and don't really have any desire to use it), just using my braided solo loop from my previous S6.. its a great combo! Loving the larger screen, the difference is much more significant than I'd expected. This is my daily driver.

The screen really makes a difference for those with vision issues.
 
I love the look of the Milanese loop but it keeps coming loose throughout the day depending on what I'm doing. Even putting on my seatbelt haha. I'll probably go back to the sport loop band since it's velcro and stays on.
