That sticking out lug bottom left…..🫣
The leather looks good though.
I believe they're using a Series 0-3 lug attachment, which is a shame; the same thing happens when you use a classic buckle (gens 1-3) on a series 7 or later, those earlier Apple Watches had a tighter corner radius, in real life it isn't a big deal though. Looks worse in photos.
 
Been looking for a nice third party leather band since Apple discontinued theirs in favor of FineWoven. 🤮

I came upon the Andar Leather Band and love how it looks. It’s made of high quality leather and is super comfortable. The off tone stiching adds a nice touch.
Does your tattoo cause issues with your watch??
 
Yeah and it doesn't make economical sense for makers to make multiple shaped lugs.

Incidentally my wife's S0 38mm Modern buckle fits seamlessly on her S10 42mm. 🤷🏻

Anyone have the 10 Ti with the new Nike red sport loop? Pix?

I have had the % level show since it was available. I was glad when Apple added it to the iPad with iPad OS 16. Makes me feel better seeing how much battery is left at the end of the day. My watch is a series 6 44mm, and as you can see, it still has 58% at the end of the day. Its battery health is 89%. My iPhone 13PM battery health is 88% and usually still has 30 to 60% at the end of the day. Makes me feel good to see the batteries of my 3 and 4 year old devices still lasting so long.:cool:
That Apple Watch Series 6 is still holding up well! I have one as well, still 100% battery health.

Yes. It’s the 1st gen Ultra.
Looks great… but isn’t it a brick 🧱 on your wrist? I have small wrists as well and most of the bands I have to pull all the way up or use the second hole of the ocean band. These newer Nike bands use recycled rubber which looks great.

The Modular Ultra face is my favorite; you can even show your training load around the complications!
 
Nice! 👍 how come when you had the Apple Watch Series 5, you did not collect bands until you bought the S10?

Good morning to my Apple Watch wearers in the states! Here’s a red classic buckle replica band. View attachment 2437170

Good morning!

You know, it's funny. I'm not sure why. But I think the White Sport Band matched the Silver Aluminum of my AW5 so much that I didn't really need another one. The white really looks good but it does get dirty easily. I've cleaned it a few times but it's always a hassle. The Milanese Loop on my AW10 is stunning but it seems like it's too much for my daily use so I definitely want alternatives!

I like your red leather band! And that doughnut... bet it was delicious!

Thanks 😊 man. It’s a Halloween 🎃 themed Krispy Kreme doughnut 🍩 and the band I have on my Apple Watch is a gen2 classic buckle replica. You can get it here: (41mm/40mm/42mm new link): https://www.amazon.com/SWEES-Compat...5&sprefix=swees+app,aps,243&sr=8-7&th=1&psc=1

I do have a vintage rose, white and various different kinds of light colored bands and they never got discolored. I typically wipe down and switch bands daily after workouts.
Is that a magnetic band? Looks great. How’d you get the Action Button black colored?

Not magnetic. It’s a wrap from dot crown on Etsy.
