Show off your Apple Watch

The screen will only get as bright as its lowest setting. The middle of the screen is darker than the sides. The tech said he has seen it a few times and it’s typically the screen.

I know stepping down to the aluminum frame is a downgrade in ways but we are both happy with it.

The wife got a pink one with the pink sport loop. She fought breast cancer this last year so she wanted to have something to symbolize her fight.

Good morning, based on these details of your Apple Watch Series 6, that is screen burn in. Is the screen being replaced on your Apple Watch at an Apple Store or at an Apple authorized service provider? I believe it is normal wear and tear on the LEDs.
Also great color choices you and your wife selected for your Apple Watch, the pink aluminum is perfect and matches the pink color on the iPhone 15, or the iPhone 13. That color replaced the pinkish gold after it was introduced in the Apple Watch Series 3 to replace the rose gold and merge the yellow gold together, and discontinued after the Apple Watch Series 7 came out.

It’s the first time I’m wearing it,
I ordered my Hermes Watch in May, but didn’t receive it till August 1, so I spent those 2 months hunting down classic Hermes Bands from many different sources, based on many hours on the forums researching opinions and reviews on the Hermes Bands. Ended up with
5 single jumping tours
3 circuit H leather
2 H Diagonal leather
7 single tours leather
3 Kilim’s, and a couple more leathers for a total of 22 bands.
It was a fun but expensive experience.
As not all of the bands are suitable for the space black, I’ll wear them with my Series 9 SS with a Hermes face, downloaded
From Facer.

Now you have a huge collection of Hermes genuine bands as well! 🤯 I understand a lot of them have silver lugs, so putting them on a plain stainless steel Apple Watch is still nicely worn. Most Hermes Apple Watch models are in plain stainless steel as well; but some Apple Watch wearers get a stainless steel regular Apple Watch and get the bands separately or as third party ones to not shell out a couple thousand bucks. I heard of Facer before… is it free? Does it work on watchOS beta versions as well?

Storm Blue Combo. Pictured is the matching Sport Band and iPhone 15 Pro silicone cases in daylight.

Watch is a Series 6 Titanium still going strong. We shall see if Series X finally gives a good reason to upgrade.

Nice 👍 another Apple Watch Series 6 user like me. That titanium case Apple used to have in the Apple Watch Series 5 in leiu of the Apple Watch Edition in ceramic, all the way to the Apple Watch Series 7 is a better watch if your wrist is not big enough for the Apple Watch Ultra or are not the type that you would wear it.

Amazingly it still looks flawless! If you got space black titanium that would closely match the dark blue titanium iPhone 15 Pro. There is a black titanium 15 Pro that matches the black titanium Apple Watch Series 5 to S7.

Here’s a past photo of the S5 in black titanium I tried on, in 40mm:

Today’s band is the Deep Navy Sport Band. This one came with my S6. Been planning for my next upgrade to either an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro, and get a case to match it.

I don’t know if it works on beta versions, the one I use is the face, top right i don’t have the paid version, it’s based on meridian face simple black face that’s got the Hermes logo but no complication's. And it stores in the face gallery no problems. I bought my SS a while back on a super deal from Amazons, maybe down the road I’ll look for a deal on SS Hermes.

I'd like to understand this too. The app shows all sorts of in-app purchases. Is that a one time thing after you download a face or do you have to keep renewing the subscription to keep a face you got originally? @Bandoholic

Sorry missed this question, I haven’t tried the paid version of Facer yet so don’t know pricing.

Just installed it, man… but when I downloaded it the face had NO HERMES logo on it. Do I need to wait for the app to sync with my Apple Watch?
 
The one that I downloaded says Hermes free. And I had no problems. It downloaded right away with the logo. I would recommend deleting it and try to reinstall it and perhaps it has something to do with what series watch you have. I have a series 9.

I’ll try it again later when my watch is charged up. I have a gold stainless S6 on watchOS 11 beta 5.

🔥 that’s the same Apple Watch like mines. Is it a gold stainless S6 44mm? The speaker cut outs are like an Apple Watch Series 5 or earlier but if the gold is a true yellow gold instead of rose gold it is a S6.

That’s too bad, you can try again when OS11 releases and if that’s not the case, then it’s for series 7 and up.

Yea I will have to wait until final release of watchOS 11 ☹️ as I even left a feedback on the Siri Apple Watch face being deleted out of the new update. Only Facer faces I can get are the ones that use the Photos face.

Are you running watchOS 11 on any of your Apple Watch models?

No, I’m not the adventurous type to try beta versions, because if there’s any bugs in it, it would drive me crazy.

Exactly, I typically contemplate betas for the new features and Watch faces. This beta I went for the vitals app which was introduced to summarize how well my health metrics were going, and the Training Load which checks to make sure that you are on track with your workouts and training plan, based on rating your workouts after each one on Apple Watch.

And yes, there are bugs in betas. Prepare to charge your Apple Watch a little more often as well.
