Folks. I've ordered the graphite watch twice. Out of the box without any contact with any band I saw micro scratches. Also how is the band coming in to contract with the apple watch sides?

I’m curious as well. Had a Milanese Loop for my Gold SS S4 & never had any issues with it scratching the watch.
 
I've used a Milanese loop for three years and never scratched a watch it was attached to. I’m aware of the scratch potential and exercise a little caution when handling the watch.

Ti milanese band comes with a sport band as well. I plan to use the dark grey sport band for now. Craziness how the milanese band will scratch the DLC coating of a SBTi. Apple needs to get their act together if they claim their higher end watches are scratch resistant, otherwise, I will avoid buying. False sense of security.
 
I can confirm the graphite Milanese loop scratchs the screen as hell.

Pay attention!


I’m really really disappointed. I'm still the timeframe to return but I’m shocked about how it is easy to scratch the sapphire glass.

If the loop touch the screen, you’re done.

I’m afraid the loop may scratch the graphite iphone frame as well.

Damn!!!!!
 
Yes, the Milanese Loop WILL scratch the puck. I think it’ll also scratch the heart rate monitor on the back.

Just to be safe, when you take your watch off, be careful to rest the watch on its side. Don’t lay the watch so that the heart monitor is resting on the Milanese Loop.
