I do wear it but these are inexpensive bracelets. The nice ones stay home.



🔥 looks great! 👍 would you get an Apple Watch Ultra 2 or 3 one day?

It’s common for the images taken on newer iPhones to have this issue, try using an image compression plugin. It also is in proraw, try to disable it

Will try and remember to turn off raw next time, thanks. And noooo…no ultras for me. I don’t like how big and bulky they are, BUT, I do like that battery they’ve got inside…ah well, trade-offs…

No wonder. You do have small wrists like mine, that’s why the Apple Watch Ultra is a brick 🧱 on the wrist. They do last long enough because it’s designed for adventure.

Next strap pic coming soon when I’m in the gym 💪.

What app/screen is this?!?….oh. Is this that Apple band app? It’s like a third party app right??…
Bandbreite. Unfortunately the Apple Watch app temporarily went away due to a major update, but it’ll come back once the dev updates it.

It’s a very cool app that you can keep track of your straps (Apple genuine bands) and also learn the history behind them and the Apple Watch, including tracking them daily.

Didn’t even know there was one 😮.

Yup! It’s the guy I quoted @vded he posted a pic of the app on his watch and it looks very clean.

I just started at page 1000 and I’m starting to go through some of the old posts…I’m stilll a lil sick so I gotta do something and all my books are still packed away : (

Hello 👋🏻 😊
 
For some reason this band reminds me of salt water taffy. It looks good enough to eat!
Yep it’s a third party nautical blue and white strip sport band. It’s from the brand MVMT, not sure if they sell a 46mm/45mm one for larger watches. It’s at TJ MAXX or Marshall’s where you can get it from

The same brand sells iPhone cases for the 12PM, 13PM, 14 and 15PM and iPhone 16

Nice 👍 they even do OEM Apple bands deals too.

The striped third party band it would come with a case for a 45mm watch in case you need it (comes included, I used it a few times) but the strap should fit your watch if they have a 45/46mm one. Mostly they sell it for 41mm but haven’t seen any for the larger watch, perhaps it may be different elsewhere.

the matching iPhone case they have looks nice too.

Hope it's nothing serious, mate.

Get well soon 👍🏼.
 
Just thinking on possible colours when the Series 11 and Ultra 3 are unveiled Tuesday.

Pretty sure I’ll be choosing an Ultra 3 in black and would be very happy if the added dark burgundy or similar to the options, especially for the Alpine Loop. A Trail Loop and Ocean Band would also look good too in this colour with black hardware (lugs/buckle).

I just wish the black Apple Watch Ultra users would see a black alpine loop added too; the only all black bands were the ocean band and trail loop with black colour and black lugs.

Ooo yeah, all black Alpine would be in my rotation for sure.👍🏻

I have a black alpine loop, obviously not an official Apple version but its nice.

heard that some black Apple Watch Ultra users get third party ones like that too. Even if they wanted black titanium lugs on the original and 2023 strap colours
