Oh, my goodness! But now with the scratches on the graphite, will you get another one again? Do you have AppleCare+? If so, try express replacement. Use a case when doing extreme sports or stunts and when using machinery and equipment.

Yes I'm using express replacement with AppleCare, so new watch with pristine case. On a related note, last night I accidentally sat on my iPad Air 5th gen and cracked the screen, and I'm using express replacement for that as well. I was surprised that they are sending me a new iPad as opposed to just replacing the screen. I will certainly welcome having a new battery! And I will continue to live dangerously and take my chances with naked iPad and watches; no cases for me! 😀

Wow you just purposely ordered a replacement iPad just for better battery health?! Has the graphite replacement Apple Watch came yet?
 
Just received the Ultra Milanese loop in large size. Approx 185-190mm wrist. Do you think I should've went for the medium?

That’s interesting! I’ve got a 205mm wrist and stopped by the Apple Store a couple of weeks ago to try on the large size for my Ultra 2. After moving the “clasp“ to fit my wrist….the “clasp” surprisingly sat directly on the underside of my wrist….perfect. Interesting…the difference between 205mm and 185mm is just about .8 inch. However, it looks like you‘d need more Than .8 inch for the clasp to sit directly under your wrist.

I’d say stop by the Apple Store and try on a Medium size. You’re kind of in the same situation as me where my wrist size sits just near the top of the range for the large (210mm) and yours sits near the top of the range for the medium (185mm)

Pollen sport band in fall! 💛
I saw this band for 20 euros and I had to have it. And I love it, it’s so dark and dull outside the whole day (probably until March next year!) and every time I look at this band it makes me smile! 🥰

Oh and I love the look with the big black bezels surrounding the lighter watch faces. Am I the only one who actually loves how the bezel looks? I think it’s very fashionable! I’m so happy we have the jet black option this year.

That cupcake is really cool 🎃

The pollen yellow is super nice! 100% recommend! (This is coming from someone who mostly chooses dark colours to wear! I’m way outside of my comfort zone right now 😄)

Thanks friend, that’s a nightmare before Christmas Jack skellington cupcake 🧁 i ate during a Halloween 🎃 party. 🎈 I also have a mix of both dark and light colored Apple Watch bands in my collection… too much to list them all but here is one of them! Guess the color!

That was one of my favourite watch faces.
Utility is a great OG analog Apple Watch face, glad it wasn’t pulled off in this year’s watchOS 11 update 🙌

Is that lavender gray?

So cool! We don’t celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands, not like in the US. When I was little I only knew it from movies 😄

I have another new sport band! Dark Cherry! In the sun (yes we have sun today!) it looks a lot like my plum 2024 band though. It’s a little bit more muted.

I noticed something strange, my mulberry sport band is a little bit too big, I’m in between two holes on the band. While this dark Cherry band fits perfectly. Like all the other colours I have. It was very noticeable when I changed watch bands today. The mulberry is more supple than the other ones, so maybe that’s the reason?

It’s the Fog sport band, friend. Indeed Dark Cherry looks similar to this year’s Plum band but plum is darker in tone. No way a different Apple sport Band color cannot be a different size if it’s made for the same size Apple Watch ⌚️! The only difference is that the lug widths are contoured differently for 40/41mm and the new 42mm. The material remains the same every year; I still fit the third hole of the small/medium sport band.

It looks nice!

yes that’s so weird then, I checked the size and I bought the correct size. The material feels much softer and flexible, don’t know how to describe it. The pollen band also feels soft, more like the mulberry. Less stiff? As far as I can tell they’re genuine, they were all sealed in an Apple box and the seal looks the same as the one that came from the Apple Store.

maybe I got another dud, the first mulberry one I got, had connectors that didn’t connect to the watch, so you could slide it right trough 🙈

Agreeable. The material did not change in any way from the original. I have a gen1 black and a newer deep navy band and only the black one felt a lot thicker despite i wore it for a long time, seven years of my Apple Watch Series 1.

Broke out the green band again. IMG_3998.jpeg
