Anyone with a blue aluminum watch combined with Saddle Brown Leather Link? Curious to see if this combination works well
 
Yes! I think the braids are shorter, perhaps to allow for stretching. I noticed they were shorter than the solo loops but they’re also shorter than all my fall braids.
I’m glad about that! I’m in the smallest size 44 comes in (4), and it is fine for most things but too loose for working out.

Hmmm, well that's not good. I'm a size 2, though I could wear a size 3. If the size 2 is now smaller, it'll be too small for me! :rolleyes: Why can't they be consistent with this?

My Pistachio arrives tomorrow so I guess I'll see if I have to send it back.

Let us know. I don’t envy your position! It’s good that they did something after the sizing nightmare. Hopefully it‘s data-driven!

Chalk leather link came in today! 😍
Just picked my chalk link up at the local apple store along w Capri and the ironstone bands. Being a fan of leather bands, but not really the leather links since they came out, I have to say I’m liking this one…my first leather link is a keeper! 😀

All the braided loops... All are size 6 except for the charcoal which is a size 7

I love the braided loop design, they show off the colors better, but I just can't get over it in my head how I can't wipe it down or wash it, if I wear it constantly. I love the hot pink and the pistachio btw.
Sure you can… Why do you think you can’t wash it? It’s not leather or metal, it’s yarn.

Yeah you answered my question. So you like the amount of stripes. I just think of wearing my leather bands with the pattern and looking all the way down the tongue and enjoying the tapestry look.

Electric Orange def has a pink element; will get more daily wear than the previous colors I think:

Have you tried it on SBTi? Love it on the ceramic here!
 
But do you like the electric orange braided loop on your black titanium? I’m thinking about broadening my palette a little…
Yeah that’s what I mean I had it on SBTi and it looked great but then I had to update it. Pic tomorrow for sure. It’s my top braid for sure now. As nice as the fall ones are they’re so specific, if that makes sense. Other colors that would become more daily wears like Electric Orange…light blue, OG yellow/sunflower, cloud.

I’m still not sure I totally love the contrast in texture between braid and white ceramic.

That’s very interesting because both of your comments/photo indicate they’re shorter but in the Introverted Tech videos, it seems the bands are longer! Maybe there’s some inconsistency?

I’d love to see northern blue in a braid…
 
Looks awesome! How was the sizing for you?
Thank you, i am really trying to resist buying the Pistachio as well, because that one really does look really sweet too… I think both of the new Braided colours are great. As for the size, i got it perfectly fine on the first try!
