Dark Titanium Grey band - came with my Space Black Titanium Series 7 and it still looks great
 
Regrettably, it seems that I may have to stop wearing my apple watch for a while. Developed a particularly itchy rash on my left wrist (where the metal pin of my nike band would normally come in contact with), and it just became too uncomfortable to bear with. I have tried switching to my right hand, but it just doesn't feel the same (being right handed and all).

Took a break for 3 days, itching stopped, went back to wearing my Series 10 watch and the rash came back. I won't post any pics here because I don't wish to spoil the overall mood of this thread. Am already missing Apple Pay and not knowing what my incoming notifications are at a glance. 😛

That’s a shame. Have you washed watch and band? Sometimes it helps

Quite regularly (as I did a fair bit of running in December), until I wonder if it’s the washing that’s contributing to the allergic reaction somehow.
I had the same issue when I started running a lot last year.

Can you try to wear non silicone straps like sport loops ?
 
It was my daily when I first got it with my AW10 but now I wear it when I need to be a little dressed up. If I need to be more dressed, I have a couple Victorinox analog watches I can choose from. No Rolex though. :)
Still making use of the mechanical watches.

Would you wear both your series 10 and one of the analogue watches at the same time?

Could I? Possibly. If I needed a few more steps on the day. But probably not. What about you? Do you have any mechanical watches?
Before I got my first Apple Watch I wore these cheaply made Casio knockoffs from the DDs stores. Which I set alarms on it to wake up for school

I did also wear a hello kitty mechanical watch which was too heavy imo.

Once I got my Apple Watch I stopped wearing them.
