I'm thinking of refusing the delivery, as I've been reading how the Milanese loop scratches the watch, and MacBooks.

Do you have any experience/advice on this?
I got my Milanese with my launch Apple Watch in 2015. I still wear it today on my S7 stainless. The best part of the stainless is that IF you get scratches you can buff them out with a Cape Cod cloth with no issues and the watch looks like new again. In fact I do this to mine every 2-3 months. I have never noticed any scratches from the silver Milanese - I also have a space black Milanese and am really careful adding and removing that as I know it can scratch.

Does anyone have any tips for putting on, and removing the Milanese loop from your wrist, without scratching the watch?

The magnet is very strong.
 
Just slide to the right place without touching the frame,that’s it:)
Not an issue with me, the magnetic buckle is almost all the way around to the top of my Apple Watch and does not face the bottom towards where I lay my wrists on the keyboard.

Today’s band is the Flash Sport Loop. I matched the Palette face with it.

I have that color woven nylon band. They're so under-rated. I really like them still to this day. I kind of want them to bring them back, especially since Fine Woven turned out to be a dud.
Totally agree, woven nylon bands are are one of the best styles Apple has produced, super comfortable, and a great range of colors.

Yes indeed, the magnet never demagnetized after I owned a gold one for about 4 years. Only minor micro scratches on the buckle and that’s it.

I wore it to workout a few times and the magnet stays on. Only downside is that is snags wrist hairs- so make sure to shave it out every 2 weeks!

Another thread on here got me thinking of my old straps so I dug them out last night. Forgot I had the Hasta and how nice it is. (I’ve been using a Nomad Lunar for the last 8 months). Decided to throw the Hasta back on.

Yes, I have a ghost armor on the screen.... probably don't need it on the Ultra but better safe than sorry.

Now that I have my new storage case, I’m wearing some of my earlier straps.
Same! I kept all the bands I had with my 38mm Apple Watch Series 1 as well, and reuse them on the 40mm SS.

This band I had for a few years as well… third party Flash and Black silicone band. I keep my nice bands in a tin case and use plastic caddies in my nightstand for my sport bands and Sport Loops.
