If I were him I would get baked and go through them and laugh my ass off at the stupid ones.
I've read about an AW owner having to take their Link Bracelet to a jeweler/watchsmith to get it shortened beyond what the stick links allowed.
Why would you care?
You hate the Apple Watch anyway..

I'm going to go ahead and answer your condescending question. Addiction runs hard in my family, and while most of my family members are addicted to booze or cigarettes I am addicted to food. Look it up. It's a medical condition.
If you don't want to be over-sized and pay for more materials in your stuff, then lose weight. Flip it - why should smaller people pay as much as you do for more? That would truly be a tax on being small - because in that case, you're getting LESS for your money. You're paying more for more. That's not a tax, it's basic economics.
Fat shaming = publicly calling you a fatty. Charging you more money for more materials = nope.
I'm sorry but there is no such thing as big boned.
No that opinion is not politically correct, but... claiming it is out of your control and there's nothing you can do and you're just "big" is a cop out. Until you accept that you're fat because of your lifestyle nothing will change.
(just lost about 8 kg to fit into the race suit i bought in my avatar a few months back. and replacing that if i CBF slimming down for it is a lot more than 50 bucks. a friend made lifestyle changes and dropped over 70 kg).

This is a bunch of crap. If you read the studies diet and exercise are actually next to useless. Genetics play a large part in everyone's body makeup including mine. I've tried exercising and cutting back on the food but it just doesn't do no good.
Do you have a genetic anomaly that prevents you from ever losing weight?
Less than 10% of all overweight people can actually blame genetics and for them they have my deepest sympathies. But have you actually been diagnosed with a genetic predisposition for being overweight or are you self-diagnosing and giving up because one attempt didn't work out for you? How long did you attempt this exercise and dieting? What type of dieting and exercise were you doing? Did you seek any advice from a health professional regarding your situation or did you try going at this all by yourself?
Okay so I missed this response. So it's not beyond your control, you just lack the willpower to take control of your own life. Don't use genetics as an excuse to sugarcoat your lack of willpower when people with real genetic disorders are suffering and don't have a choice. Don't masquerade pretending to have a genetic disorder while others truly suffer.

This post is a great example of the ignorant hate an persecution I face on a daily basis. This is unfounded rumors and pop science BS.
If only you could make watch band links out of entitlement and excuses....
Ok so question for you...
I have an Apple Watch and if it was £20 more to fund extra links in other devices because Apple has to make a profit is that fair on me?
Happened to see my Facebook feed show a "share your memories" post from six years ago when I celebrated a thirty-pound weight loss.
SIX YEARS AGO. I lost another 20 pounds after that, and it's stayed off.
DadBod630, lemme tell you, I was starting to convince myself of all sorts of reasons I would forever be overweight.
When I buckled down, started eating correctly, and followed an exercise plan, it all started to come together.
If you still want to believe it's impossible -- if you want to keep giving up on yourself and your family -- I have to end this discussion. But I think you feel, deep down, that it's worth giving another shot. I just hope you realize it'll take a year or two of steady progress.

Oh Gooood Looord. It's not "ignorant hate," it's general annoyance at you trying to force everyone to your pity party. For arguments sake, lets say it's scientifically impossible to you to lose weight. Deal with it yourself.
Look, I'm rather short statured for a guy. Would love to be taller but it's not what nature planned for me. I don't go bitch and moan with letters to CEO's accusing them of a "short guy tax" because the 36S suits they sell have half the fabric of their 48Ls yet cost the same. And I don't yell at store buyers for "short guy discrimination" because they don't stock many either." It's how the market is.
But no one want to hear you whine about being "persecuted" because of a $50 link when there are true horrors going on in parts of the world. If people hate you, as you say, maybe it's because of your attitude and not your physique. If you can't change your weight, try for a sunnier disposition, though a 2-5 mile daily walk will do wonders for both.
Wear the watch on your thumb instead of our wrists. If you are that large your thumb should be a good fit.
He would be poor if he actually took time to read them b/c he'd be out of a job. Feel bad for the intern who has to sift through them.
