This would drive me crazy. By far the deciding factor for me when I went for Stainless Steel and AppleCare. I tend to obsess over every scratch.

I relate to this more than I want to. I don’t like it.
You have to hit a certain number of messages, I think. I only just recently got it at 1,000 messages.
I wanted to share this comparison a the new Vitamin C band I got in yesterday
. Pictured left is Vitamin C Right is Spicy Orange.
Well that’s so restrictive as to be nearly useless. Of course we don’t want newbies spamming up the forum, but that just invites people to post junk to pad their post count to gain access. *shrugs* I guess I’ll just have to stick to under the table dealing then.
I actually think you unlock it earlier, but I only just got the notification!

I was on the phone with Apple for over an hour yesterday getting this worked out. They would not allow me to enter the purchase date without an original receipt. When I explained that I had no access to the original receipt, they said to contact the original owner of the watch to get it and they would not tell me the purchase date or warranty status because "privacy is embedded in Apple's DNA." I told them I am now the owner of the watch and it's activated on my account, so they are not violating anything by telling when my warranty expires. The conversation kept going around in circles.
Finally, I insisted on talking to a level 3 supervisor and that lady also would not give me warranty status or a purchase date to enter. She did finally tell me that the watch originally shipped in November and she could update the purchase date to within 3 months of that. So, I now have warranty coverage through February, 2022.
The original owner used UPS to pack and ship the watch. When it arrived, there was something in the packing material (like glue) that got all over the surface of the Digital Crown. It took me a while to carefully get it off without damaging the watch, but I finally did. Because of the activation lock snafu (he forgot to turn it off before shipping, resulting in a LOT of back and forth) and the UPS incident with the glue, he knocked another $100 off. He was very apologetic/embarrassed throughout the process, and a really nice guy.
Bottom line: I now have a $650 Series 5 White Ceramic on my wrist with original warranty through 2022!
I don’t have it though. So I think it’s 250 post + 6 months membership?
That would generally be the meaning of at least 250 posts and at least 180 days of membership
LOL. Oh I read it as “or”.That would generally be the meaning of at least 250 posts and at least 180 days of membership
Wore two bands for the first time today and I have to say I love them both.
Space black link bought NIB from 1to3
Flash sport band. Love how bright it is

That is amazing and I thought I got a great deal on mine! Looks like all the hassle paid off for you! Weird that Apple was that way, though. I called to see if I could add AppleCare+, they asked for the serial number and then they said they couldn’t add it because it was activated on September 25. I also don’t have the original receipt and they never asked for one.
The yellow and white combo looks great. Very summer-y, which obviously you agree with, ‘cause I can see you’re poolside again. Can’t fault you for the red bathing suit, but you should color coordinate with the watch, really 😜
Thanks! I love the yellow band as well with the ceramic. And this style of bathing suit I can’t find in yellow in my size, but always taking suggestions!
One of my favourite non-nike colours (Volt has it beat), but I don't think it suits my skin tone
The flash sport loop is a good compromise for me though.I think a volt + black nike sport band would rock though. I'd buy that in seconds.
Awesome awesome combos. Seriously seems like there’s no such thing as a bad combination with ceramic. Would love to see it with the pollen woven tomorrow!
Also, maybe call Apple back and try again? Might get lucky! Worst that can happen is they say no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like a black/volt reverse where Volt is the primary? Maybe. I still thing a darkish yellow/Black is more likely though.
Paging @athousandbands (again)
Think you can work on a mock up? Would be interested to see what this would look like.
