Did you get the white woven nylon Apple Watch band from eBay or Amazon? It is a classic Apple Watch band that had a buckle before it got discontinued in the Apple Watch Series 4.
Also y’all, happy Friday and good morning to my Apple Watch wearers in the states.
Nice, need to grab one for my gold SS.
Another sunlit shot of my Apple Watch with my favorite sunglasses.

That looks great! I thought I had all the checked bands but must have missed that one. I just went to eBay and now it will be here next week. 🤣
Thanks man. I used the Infograph Modular watch face in the starlight color, and a gold Milanese loop. It’s a third party Milanese loop so the gold is matted for the aluminum Apple Watch Series 4-6 and OG Apple Watch SE; but the gold is the right color. I just happened to save it alongside my other gold bands before I upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 6 in goldNot a 'wearer', exactly... but good morning!
Nice color coordination there.
The app in use for the middle complication is the Peaks app, it is also developed by two young indie developers based in Austria. 🇦🇹

How often do you swap?? Is it an everyday fit/feeling when you decide what you're wearing that day?
Bands are swapped once daily after I workout 🏋️. My Apple Watch gets its daily wipe down by cleaning all the sticky sweat and dust off from the screen and most importantly, the underside where it sits on your wrist. It’s a very nice stainless steel Apple Watch that I longed for since the color came out in 2018 with the Series 4, and I am trying to keep it long like my series 1 so I have to maintain it very well. I use the lens cloth that is like the one used to polish Pro Display XDR or Vision Pro; a premium glasses cloth for polishing both my iPhone and Apple Watch.
I use the band appropriate with the outfit and/or activity i will be doing for the day and the only time I would change more than once a day is if I wear my link bracelet and/or Modern Buckle; the link bracelet is heavy and can be hard to sleep track and work out with it. The modern buckle has easy on/off buttons and a magnet that you set a size on which can unclamp easily if I do pushups/yoga poses.
Enjoyed Labor Day at the Apple Store again, happened to be in the area again for errands. Chilled out posing my Apple Watch on the leather Vision Pro couches while waiting for the demo.
feeling a little dark cherry* today with my new Graphite SS S8 (upgraded from Sport S7)

The Apple Watch Series 8 graphite 41mm is now here, finally! Looks nice. 👍 If my gold S6 breaks down I will get one in gold again, I cannot stop loving it.
What color is your old Apple Watch Series 7? Dark green like the green iPhone 13?
Nah I had the abyss blue actually. didn't go well with everything, Graphite will be much more universal but I had fun with it at the time (and was a little bored of the space grey s4 I had previously which then turned sorta blueish black with whatever theyre calling current black sports watch models)
The blue Apple Watch only existed in the Apple Watch Series 6 and 7 when multicolored aluminum models started out alongside product red. It was meant to match the blue colors of both the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro respectively, or any iPhone that is in blue color. A blue Apple Watch Series 7 matches up with its lighter blue color scheme with the blue iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue and the blue iPhone 13. It can also match the blue iPhone XR if you still have it, as it is a sky blue. The blue Apple Watch Series 6 was a flagship color and is darker, perfectly balanced with darker blue iPhones like the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max Pacific Blue, and the iPhone 13.
Any Product Red aluminum Apple Watch Series 6 and later can match any red color iPhone 7 and later. The dark green aluminum Apple Watch Series 7 only exists in one generation of Apple Watch, yet it is a strong color that matches perfectly with the dark army green iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, as well as the iPhone 11 Pro.
The latest multicolored Apple Watch released is the Apple Watch series 9 in pink aluminum, it matches the faint pink iPhone 13 and the light pink iPhone 15. It also replaced the orange-tinted gold colored aluminum Apple Watch which was on the Apple Watch Series 3 to the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE.
goldmac2006 youre like an encyclopedia of Apple Watch knowledge.
🔥. I totally am the human Apple intelligence person… if one asks Siri about their Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad and iPod. Especially their Mac. 🖥️
Now on to the stainless steel and titanium ones. A gold Apple Watch existed originally as the Apple Watch Edition that was overrated and overpriced at $10K+, for an 18 karat real gold Apple Watch. It got phased out when the Apple Watch series 2 came out and ceramic made it reduced to the price a tad bit above stainless steel. Only thing is that though more people bought it, the Apple Watch Edition in ceramic lasted until the last iteration of original Apple Watch design as the Apple Watch Series 3 with a gray ceramic option, which the white ceramic is the only Apple Watch Edition in ceramic that used the modern era casings, which is the Apple Watch Series 5 that simultaneously introduced the second titanium Apple products, Apple Card being the first. The Apple Watch Edition in titanium S5-7 was the longest running of the premium material lineup besides stainless steel, with the Space Black titanium matching the present-day iPhone 15 Pro black titanium. The silver titanium matches the iPhone 15 Pro in natural and silver titanium, which once it got phased out after Apple Watch Series 7, it became the more rugged and tactical version of the Apple Watch Ultra, in line with the Apple Watch Series 8.
The gold stainless steel had two tones of gold, which can also be a sign of what series it is. If it resembles nearly a rose gold that matches an iPhone XS or iPhone 11 Pro, it is an Apple Watch Series 4 and 5. If it is the same size as these two but as a yellow gold like the iPhone 14 Pro to 12 Pro, it is a S6; more obvious physical signs are visible in S7-9 include a fuller screen, single cutout of the speaker.
Graphite and space black is obvious signs of series, as well. Space black can be harder to distinguish as it is still existent as a Hermes exclusive, but graphite is not part of Hermès Apple Watch. A graphite Apple Watch uses a space gray-like tone of stainless steel plating and is an Apple Watch Series 6 or later, following any visible changes to the speaker slots and screen sizes.
Good morning Apple Watch wearers, I hope you are having a wonderful day y’all. I got my gray glittery leather band on the gold SS… this is highly preferable for those who have the graphite or space black; the color is the right tone for it.
