Show off your Apple Watch

Nice face, what’s the name of it?

It is the Unity Lights face. You can either add complications on it as a circle dial or enjoy it full screen, it is a neon analog Apple Watch face. Available on watchOS 9 and later.

Today’s band is one of the greatest bands deals I snagged from TJX, a third party flower pattern Sport band that is semi-translucent with gray, green and pink flowers.

Part of a 2-pack for $4 Sport Band set, MVMT branded. Y’all can guess what color the other band will be; it’ll be revealed in the next photo.

What’s up and good morning man, many of us who are showcasing our Apple Watches wear a stainless steel or titanium Apple Watch Ultra, and I am one of them with a gold SS S6. I do not do yard work or gardening all the time but I do wear my Apple Watch everyday and even to do chores. The stainless steel Apple Watch and all other watches that come in more expensive materials like titanium/ceramic Apple Watch Editions and the Apple Watch Ultra use a sapphire crystal screen that does not scratch as easily as a aluminum case would.

I had my SS Apple Watch for about two months to replace my worn out space gray Apple Watch Series 1 of seven years, so far there are ZERO SCRATCHES on my Apple Watch through this time. My previous Apple Watch Series 1 already got scratched on the screen at that same time when I got it in 2017, so that proves how the stainless steel versions have special coating and a more premium screen than the aluminum ones present in the Apple Watch SE and the mainline Apple Watch models. BTW I never use a case on my Apple Watch unless if I have to use heavy machinery like a lathe or CNC, or to hide away screen separation which my Apple Watch Series 1 ended up after going through wear and tear for many years, including reduced battery life.

A standard stainless steel Apple Watch that is NOT GOLD, GRAPHITE OR SPACE BLACK can be repolished back to its original shiny color with stainless steel polishing cloths like Cape Cod, or at a local jewelry store. I keep a Crizal glasses polishing cloth to wipe down my Apple Watch and my iPhone regularly, and it helps remove smudges on the stainless.

I use a hydrogel screen protector on my series 9 which is totally unnoticeable, as you can see from some of the pictures I posted, there is no touch sensitivity loss and it’s been on there for months and I haven’t had to replace it yet.
As far as scratches on the body, you’re correct in saying that scratches can be removed with the Cape Cod cloth at least on the stainless steel.

Fair enough, sir. I used to have these hydrogel wet screen protectors for my previous Apple Watch Series 1 38mm space grey, but it collected bubbles and gunk from dusty surfaces so easily that I could not stand it, so I stopped using them. I do not use cases on my SS Apple Watch as it defeats the purpose of showcasing its shine and glory, and after workouts and going in the pool, it turns very crusty on the clear cases. I also seen curved screen protectors that are in tempered glass that can serve as a similar effect but without the worries that film can collect so much more dust.

I only use a third party gold Milanese band from Amazon so mines already had a few micro scratches, mainly on the clasp as I lay my wrist down on the laptop and I use a metal laptop stand. They do not scratch if I put my wrist on my desk or on a soft surface like a blanket, or on a leather couch. 🛋️ Surprisingly I had that gold stainless Milanese loop since I had my previous Apple Watch, as I thought to myself OG I could snag a gold stainless steel one when the color first came out with the Apple Watch Series 4. But it looks great on space gray, without a clash!

Other colors of the Apple branded one besides plain stainless steel has a DLC or PVD coating, respectively with the case of the Apple Watch it goes with. So gold and graphite would not scratch easily even if you lay your wrist against a MacBook Pro or the Magic Keyboard.

Nike Blue/Black sport loop on Ultra. Forgive me, case haters I don’t like cases myself, but with the ultra as I posted, there’s a reason why I need to use it.

I might be in the minority, but I like the look of some cases, especially the Spigen ones. I don't have one myself and most of the time my watch is naked, but when I do a workout that I know has hight chances of damaging the watch if I bump it into something (for example, rock climbing), I usually wear this huge ugly band/case:
