Glad we are all different as I am keeping BOTH the Ceramic Grey and Hermes Series 3
Remember my words, one day you all regret returning the grey
PS glad to see Matt happy again too as he finally found what he was looking for

Woah! Calm down there! This is me we’re talking about!
The orange sports strap has a manufacturing defect. I’ve just spent an hour in an online chat with an Apple representative to try to get a replacement. The deal is that I have to pay for a new one, I send the old defective one back, they refund the payment when they receive it.
However, their online payment system wouldn’t work. I tried three times.
So now they have to call me to get my credit card details. Which they can’t do till tomorrow. They refused to use the credit card I bought the watch with, or the one they have on file for iTunes etc.

It’s about £60. But it’s an odd amount. Not a round figure.
It’s relatively trivial. But when I’m spending over £1,000 I expect perfection.
Apple is happy enough to send a replacement.

It’s that black dot. It’s not a mark on the surface. It’s embedded in the strap.

Strange. is the mark sat under the colour or on top? can you try a and remove it with a bit of alcohol?
It’s not a mark. It’s in the plastic.
[doublepost=1511437698][/doublepost]Wow. Apple Customer Service is literally the worst in the world. Bar none.
I am on my second phone call (having had two web chats of total length over one hour) and I’m currently talking to the sixth person to deal with this.
All I want is a replacement strap. This morning they got confused and agreed to send out a strap. Which they then charged me in full for because they thought I was buying a new one.
Now they’ve cancelled that. So I’m currently out £60 for a strap I’m no longer getting, and I’m still no closer to getting a replacement.
[doublepost=1511438104][/doublepost]That phone call took 15 minutes. Still no resolution. He’s going to call back.
Seriously — how is this so complicated?
back to the watch: do you like it
Honestly? I don’t know. I like the strap. I like the watch. I just don’t know if I like them together.
You returned the gray ceramic.
Now you have the Hermès (stainless silver) with the defective orange band?
I have the series 0 SS. (Silver). I never really found a sports band I liked with it.
However I do like the Orange Hermès and think it would look great with the white ceramic.
I think the orange Hermès with the space black stainless steel would be great. It’s pretty great with the silver stainless steel.
I sold my S0 SS and bought a SBSS S3. I missed the SS so I bought the SS S3 and now have both so I understand the dilemma. I’m keeping both.
Sure for the case, but what about the Hermès bands
They are burnt in a big Hermès bonfire and sacrificed to the gods...
Either that or sewn back on the cows bum
If I were you, I would wait until next year to reclaim the ceramic or Apple edition due to the high possibility of design change and more advanced technology with longer battery life for LTE.
I was thinking that too, will decide if/when I sell my current watches lol
The problem is now Apple Watch becoming a yearly update Watch. This results a yearly obsolescence to the watch, which is similar to an iPhone.
