I have owned Apple Watches since Series 1 but they have always been aluminium. Before the first Apple Watch was even released I saw pics of the SS with SS link bracelet and thought "that's the one for me!" - Until the prices were revealed and I sulked away into the shadows to order my aluminium watch with black band.

Ever since then it has always been my ultimate Apple Watch and this year I decided to go half way and order a Silver SS with milanese loop. Anyway it came and its gorgeous but I find the band a bit fiddly and floppy and I am worried it will eventually scratch the watch body.

I also have a saddle brown leather loop (pictured below) which I think is a really nice combo and can see me wearing this a lot:

But tomorrow my SS link bracelet arrives from Apple, and my ultimate Apple Watch will be complete :)

EDIT: Now with pics (hopefully). I will follow up with a few more once the SS link bracelet arrives.

EDIT 2: Now with official Apple SS link bracelet:

I had the S0 SS since 2016 and it still makes me smile when I see it on my son's wrist. There is something just so special about shiny new objects that make humans stop and stare. Beautiful bands to boot I might add. I always wanted to get the Apple link bracelet but thought it was a bit pricey. But I know the quality is out of this world, especially with the tool free adjustment of the individual links.
