@JBlass421 Did you upgrade this year?
I never saw anything worth upgrading for, so stuck with my SS S8.

Lol obviously my 14 ½ year old best friend.
Thanks! Space Black stainless steel.
No upgrade for me this year. The S9 isn’t compelling enough.
All my watches are S7. Next year the Series X will be the big upgrade to look out for but for now I’m totally satisfied and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.
I am in full agreement with you because that will make me stay away from the rumored redesign.
Wow, didn't know the watch was that old. Time flies!
I rock it like this too, I'm left handed. Feels way better than having the crown on the opposite side of the watch or putting it on my left wrist. It's just the most intuitive position.
I, too, am left handed. I will have to try that… though after 8+ years of using the Apple Watch I have gotten used to it the other way.
Apple Watch Ultra with new blue ocean band. One of the "dressier" combos Apple has released with this watch. Honestly I am seeing a lot more AWU out there, even in business meetings.
lol, like $12 on AliExpress? Just ordered that one too along with tons of other ones just to try out.
I like my Alpine loop a lot more than I thought I would, but wanted to see if any other styles/colors floated my boat enough to get an Apple version.
Initially, I got tons of Apple bands for my S4 back in the day and even later a magnetic leather link in Dark Cherry packed away somewhere that I need to find... Also got tons of AliExpress bands. Milanese, metal link, etc.
At the end of the day, I wore 1 single sport loop 99.9% of the time for the past 5 years. Maybe I will change things out more often on the AW Ultra 2, but I'm guessing the "newness" will wear off again and I stick with the same daily driver unless I do different activities.
going as Natty Ti / beige as possible currently...
Not loving the case, instead prefer naked or with the PopSocket:

I got my first Apple watch about three months ago. I purchased a Sports Band and a Sports Loop. The loop is fantastic. Very comfortable and so easy to get a perfect fit with the velcro rather than having to choose a pre-made hole, which will be a bit too lo0se or a bit too tight.
It took me about 5 minutes of owning the AW Ultra 2 to clean up and install my trusty sport loop. The color just didn't jive and the fit was a bit different because of the face size difference(and just how long I wore the dang thing...)
So I reluctantly went back to the alpine loop. Didn't take me too long to change my mind though. It is surprisingly comfortable and with a bit of stretch you can get a pretty comparable fit.
Nothing beats the infinite adjustability of the sport and trail loops though, like you say.
Got the hibiscus sport loop in the post yesterday, quite like the splash of colour. It looks less massive in real life than in pictures, thankfully!
