Just upgraded to the Ultra 2 last night, coming from a S7 41mm.
Best Buy clearance Pride band. I’m a die-hard sport loop person but I really liked the look (in photos) of the current Nike Pure Platinum sport band with sprinkles, so I ordered one. Sadly, it was too gray for my tastes, and didn’t really seem to have many sprinkles, so it’s on its way back. To console myself I ordered this one instead, to see if I can learn to tolerate a sport band. I know this funfetti band doesn’t have a lot of admirers, but I like it. I only wish there were a few more red and pink sprinkles.
1st gen white SB on 5th gen white AW 😉
Today Apple sent me the Light Grey sport band that exclusively comes with the natural titanium watch edition. I sold my AW S5 Ti with this band and I regret for selling it. I went to Apple store and asked if they can sell me one, but this band is not separately retailing. So I had go to Apple Support, provided them with some information of my old S5 Ti and its serial number. They set up a payment, I paid and the band comes in sealed today. I love this shade of grey a lot and it matches perfectly with snoopy paperwhite face.
That is awesome to know.
Like a crazy fool I decided to order a S7 titanium despite just getting the Ultra 2. I love the watch, but spending too much time on this site makes me want to collect something else…
I love the pairing of my Ultra 2 and 15 ProMax, and while I have some good bands to dress up the watch, when wearing it with a suit, it was a bit tight under the cuffs of some of my dress shirts, even if I think it looked pretty great. I did not have that issue with my S4.
Enter an S7 edition titanium arriving on Thursday.
Am I dumb for ordering a “lesser” watch to have more matching titanium accessories???
If I keep the S7 I will definitely try and get one of these bands.
Yeah too bad Apple discontinued the watch titanium edition, it looks really elegant.
Just to share, you can also order an hermes orange sport band at $49 if you have the information of an hermes watch (like serial number), they don't ask for the invoice.
I've been searching for an S7 titanium brandnew but seems they were nowhere to be sold. Then I bought an Ultra (Gen1). After a week I felt it was not for me, so a SS S8 was my choice.
Eh.
You can get the accessories without the watch. Not as much fun, though. I'm an avid "multi-watcher" having over 15 watches, though most of them remain unpaired. I only use the Series 7 watches I have now. Everything else feels too old. #SmallBezelsOrDie
The Ultra is on my radar, though having seen one in person and tried it on, I think it's too big for me. If I'm honest, I think even the 45mm is too big for me, but with over 200 bands, im much too invested in the bigger watch size to start over at 41mm.
That's why now I use both.
I'm actually calling the S7 watch itself an "accessory," lol.
When I get into a color scheme or palette I like, I kinda go nuts. Whether it's bags/packs/slings, EDC gear, outdoor gear, clothes, etc. Most of my EDC load out/gear is black but I did have some titanium prior to the 15 PM and Ultra 2. The Apple golden tint raw titanium is well, more golden than most my titanium stuff that is either polished, a more grey matte/ beadblast finish or black DLC.
So now I kinda want a variety of titanium items that are closer to the new 15 Pros which the S7 edition watch seems to be...
Before ordering the S7, I was mostly a 1 "good" mechanical and 1 "good" smart watch person. This may be the start of my watch collecting journey now...
Finally traded in my series 4 and got a series 9. Love it so far
