Show off your Apple Watch

Rok73 said:
Well, at least I posted several watch face/band combos, thumbed up posts I liked and asked and answered questions before which you, in fact, didn't. And now you seem to feel a bit offended? Want some salt on your fries? :rolleyes:

Looks sexy, doesn't it?

Oh yea, I love the way you arranged those hairs on your wrist!

But seriously, I hope you dont take my mocking personally. Its just that I see a thread called 'show off your apple watch' and it just reeks of self focused consumerism. Its not like you made the watch or the band, you picked it out pf a store. Be proud of things like - a project you spear-headed at work ... or the wonderful child you raised, but to be proud of a watch band you bought?

Surely if you took a half step back from this exercise in belly-button gazing you'd at least somewhat see why I think this thread is more than a little silly.

OK, you are not sharing other people's enthusiasm for a dead object like a watch. You are not understanding the buzz about it. I get it. Now let's move on with the agenda.

And yes, there are people discussing about the shades of blue their jeans have or which band to wear together with a watch and in addition which color their skirt, tie, t-shirt have. You're not a man of fashion. It's ok.

Yellow Sport Band came in. If I had known it was this shade, I would've bought it sooner.

I had asked somebody if it was more "banana yellow" or "bumble bee yellow". They said "banana yellow", and the picture they posted looked like this was right. However, I now have it in front of me, and, to me, it's richer than that.

The other thing I notice is that, for some reason, depending on lighting, it looks a bit paler in pictures. I tried to get it to look like it really looks in-person.

Wow, that looks nice! Love how the yellow face looks with the band and how great it looks with Mickey.

I was trying to get a good representation of how things look. I know it can be a little difficult to see off of just selecting the yellow color, because the complications and letters filled with that tone are very small.

It's just ever so slightly less richer than the yellow on Mickey's shoe. If you look at it for about 10 seconds, you will see that it's not the same exact color, but it's so close that it would take about 10 seconds of looking back and forth, comparing. I hope that makes sense :D

Not 100% sure if I'll keep this yet, but I quite like it so far. Very comfy. Metals clashing doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would, one hardly notices it a couple of feet away.

Silver Sport with Apple Milanese Loop.

Lol, right now, it's probably about 25.

All of the ones I've posted in the past two weeks or so have been straight from Apple.com

Haven't used mine in many weeks now since switching to an HTC 10. I bought a Moto 360 Sport on sale at BBuy to replace it and I'm pretty happy with it. BUT I've had my Apple Watch for over a year now (preorder) and I've been pretty happy with it and how well it's held up despite the things I put it through. Just a few scratches on the side and some hardline ones on the screen. No major dents or nicks out of the casing and the bands still look great. Now I just have to decide if it's worth selling or just keep it when I inevitably end up on iOS again, then switch back to Android after that. Haha. Might keep the Moto since it's cross platform.

The ones on Amazon seem to be very hit and miss quality wise. Have you tried any so far? I'm looking at getting nylon bands off amazon eventually.

I think it's worth it. I know for the sport bands, I bought a number of Moko Sport Bands and then I ended up buying an official Vintage Rose Sport Band and this Yellow Sport Band. The quality is immediately noticeable. It's nice to not have to wipe off the band every 10 minute because you see how it attracts dust.

As for the nylon bands, I've heard mixed things about the quality. Not as smooth and the fibers aren't as neatly woven as the Apple Nylon.

I have bought several bands from amazon, sport band, milanese and others but I have yet bought the nylon ones. The pearl and gold/royal blue nylon look good and the reviews are decent.

I bought my wife a pearl nylon off of Amazon, it came in yesterday. Absolute junk, the clasp for the buckle broke off when she put it on for the first time and it was extremely stiff. I sent it back today and went to the Apple Store and picked one up for her today. Much better quality, well worth the extra $25.

Very much worth it.
 
I'm trying to download os3 on my Apple Watch but can't. I've already got a developer account with my iPhone but still can't work out how to get on my watch. Is this the right link to download?
