What do you think about this combination? Still thinking about getting one of the new black hermes leather bands with the black lugs (cause the SS doesn‘t look great at all).

Here’s the original yellow strap! Looks super nice~ almost like a pikachu yellow
Can someone with some knowledge of the material science figure out how in the world the ceramic pin got scratched like this? Pretty sure it happened while sitting snug in a tupperware with other bands, nowhere near its black DLC cousin (I don’t think). Definitely han’t worn it on my wrist for more than an hour.
Not exactly heartbroken because I don’t know how much I was gonna wear it, more just curious. Perhaps the ceramic is just very thin on the pin?

Ceramic coated steel is not immune from chipping. Not sure if the watch casing itself is ceramic dipped or machined ceramic? It would make sense for the strap popper to be though.
I still have my band from my S3 ceramic and it’s mint. I wear it several times a week. Perhaps it was just a production issue. The occasional lemon does come off the production line
yup because of this look, I ordered the Meyer lemon loop too! Unfortunately it arrives in end November... sigh...
I have lemon color band as well and as shown on the picture, it looks beautiful. I wore this band with yellow polo shirt yesterday and got compliments from my friends.
I experienced what you felt when I got it on Thursday this week. I was on the same boat. I have been in love with it since the moment the first time I wore it 😍 and now, I am always looking forward to wear it whenever it is being charged.
The white ceramic is fine for a man wearing sports clothing, but how would it look with a dark suit or jacket?
Yeah I feel like I’m always paying the price for having the early batches. Poor Apple Support, how in the world would they source a replacement anytime soon.
For me, it looks sporty with dark color bands. People will notice you are wearing an Apple Watch right away since the white color makes the AW screen stand out and they will understand. The current AW shape is unique. However, everybody has different preference and I only can speak for myself.
Blue Horizon Sport Band
Please excuse the lint on the band - it won’t happen again 😂

My own preference is to avoid leather straps with the white ceramic - the lugs just stand out too much. I find the Sport Bands, Sport Loops and Leather Loops to be much more complimentary
I’ve been wearing the Ti to the office all week and for me it is the perfect office watch. I much prefer its look to the SS and it doesn’t scream “premium” unless you look at it close. I won’t wear my ceramic to the office for the same reason I don’t drive a luxury car, in my field I don’t want to give off the appearance of luxury.
I understand your preference is. Everyone has a unique preference. For me, ceramic does fit on every occasion beside I only want to have 1 watch especially for a smart watch because I like to upgrade it every year. After all, a smart watch is a technological watch which keeps advancing. I plan to get another ceramic next year if it is offered again since next year, we expect major improvements in the watch in addition to the phone. (major upgrade year)
Still loving my ceramic... this is by far the most I’ve enjoyed an Apple product for aesthetic reasons. I’m trying to decide what band to get next. The only bands I have that kind of match are the white sport band it came with, the khaki sport loop, and a black sport band.
Can’t decide whether to get the SB Milanese loop or a leather loop (and if a leather loop, which color) next... or even another sport band...
Edit: Just ordered SB Milanese and Product Red sport band. My next purchase will be the Forest Green leather loop (eBay)... that should do me for awhile lol...

I love the Ceramic watch, but I hate the band situation. I wish they had a ceramic pin bracelet. I don’t really like any of the pics in this thread. I feel like it only looks good with the sport band (in muted colors) and does not work at all with any leather bands.
Im having second thoughts about keeping the Ceramic now, because I am so used to wearing a nice Hermès band And the sport band at the gym. I’m just super disappointed with the Hermès options for Series 5.
Decisions, decisions...

I’m starting to come around to leather loops on the Apple Watch Ceramic instead of leather bands. The loop lugs are full coloured with the strap and don’t have the ugly stainless steel lugs..
grabbed a screenshot for a friend previously, but couldn’t find the thread again, so here’s the screenshot I saw:

Here’s my plan:
White/Red sport band - workout/casual
Forest green leather loop OR Khaki sport loop - business casual
SB Milanese loop - business professional

The Apple Milanese is a lighter shade of black the the Amazon mock version.
This is one band I would recommend third party.
Finally out of customs. Delivery is now Thursday boooooooo
You would be surprised how many people wouldn’t even notice.
walk into an Apple store and I am better not one employee would notice. Only those in the know would spot it.
I like the Ti I just don’t love it.
I would sit be sitting on the fence and the finger on the trigger
