Can we take a moment to admire @Juan Covarrubias' band wall?

Those braided solos are all over the place size-wise, yikes!

Have any of you guys resorted to shaving / manscaping your arm hair to avoid hideous situations such as this?

It’s especially evident with the brighter bands, such as OG Green shown here.

Please advise.

BTW: I noticed delivery dates of some sizes of the Bright Green and Flamingo BSL have been set end of May or early June (!) in my country.
At least you got a delivery date. Bright Green BSL has been showing as "Currently unavailable" in my size for weeks now.
OTOH I purchased a Flamingo BSL which, despite a delivery date for end of May, was delivered within a couple of days. Go figure...
 
I always think the straps look too narrow for the watch 🙈 In my opinion, the proportions are just not right. If they were wider, they would be my absolute favorites right after the sports bands.

I think it depends on the angle - on some of the above photos it does look too narrow, while on the upper right one, it looks just about OK.
I must review my judgement - wovens do look awful on anything beyond 44mm. Tried one of mine on the Ti 45mm and - ugh - how horrid. It felt like an elephant trying to wear a ballet tutu. Such a shame.

Wait until this supposed third bigger size Apple Watch comes out
 
Before they offer even more options, they should finally make it possible to pair more than five watches with one iPhone 🙄
yeah im a little disappointed that hasn't been raised any, because don't children's watches show up in there too? What happens if you have 5 kids and want to get them all a watch, but you already have one? Unlikely, sure, but still possible.
