Show off your Apple Watch

Yeah I've found a lot of nice ones on Amazon and Etsy, but would just have liked some pictures of people wearing them with the Apple Watch (like the one above with a Panarei) just to get a feel for how it would look - The Apple Watch is a total different beast regarding look and feel, so would like to see some first.

I saw these articles quite a while back:

I sometimes wear mine with a bead bracelet or anchor bracelet. And my wife often wears a small bracelet as well.

Just upgraded from a Sport to a Stainless Steel with Apples Link Bracelet. Like it a lot!

Yeah, brand new 1st gen 38mm. A reseller emptied their stock of 1st gen apple watches and I got it for just over 300€.

It was a good price and that's the reason I bought it. A user here mentioned that he found them on eBay too, for around the same price, I haven't checked it out though.

Hell, that's worth it just to have the bracelet for whenever you get a Series 2 (or Series 3, or 4, or however far down the line the bracelet remains compatible). Good score.

Wow yeah that is a phenomenal price ! As said it's worth it just to snatch up the band and use later on as well

Congratulations with your new piece! What band is that?

Thanks! It is a SS band I got from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N9C6AWE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go SS or leather or...so I purchased a couple of different, inexpensive bands to start with. But honestly I really like this band. It has heft and looks very nice. I had to take out a few links of course but I'm very pleased, especially for the price. I assumed it would be a stand-in until I bought something nicer but I'm really liking it.

Hi all,

I am brand new to this forum, but have been following this thread quietly for some time. I want to upgrade to Series 2 and simply need help deciding which size to get! I can't decide!

I've had the 2015 AW in silver and want the rose gold now, but which size? Please help?! The bigger screen of the 42 is really nice, but it also feels much clunkier than the 38. But I could go either way!

I love the ceramic model, by the way! It looks really great! It indeed is a thing of beauty!

(Edit: I understand now what many of you have said about the watch looking bigger in pictures! Both look a bit bigger here!)

From the pictures the 38 wins the most stylish look - they always look bigger on wrist shots though, so it should be up to you and what you like best

.....I'm still loving this combo which I am still using (the belkin leather strap is by far my favourite band which I have. I keep changing it every now and then but I always find myself coming back to it):

......since these pics were originally taken, I have removed the black surrounding cover from the watch. This allows the Space Grey of the watch to be seen, which breaks up all the black - it actually looks nicer without the cover on it!

That's cool, how would you say the quality of this leather is? I was thinking about getting the gray or saddle one, glad to see they look awesome.

I bought it in late December and have been wearing it pretty much, 5 days a week since then.

The leather today still looks brand new - no scuffs, marks or anything - I really like it. You get the genuine leather smell from it as well, which is a bonus and the lugs fit the Apple Watch 100% perfectly, unlike some other third party lugs which don't sit flush with the watch. The leather was a little stiff at first but it has softened up over time.

There are plenty of holes to use as well (for small and large wrists) - I find my buckle uses the 3rd hole from the edge of the watch, as I have fairly small wrists.

I bought it primarily to wear in the colder months, here in the UK as I think it may cause me to sweat too much if I wear it in the summer time. I have the Apple Nylon band for summer wear anyway as I don't find any other band comfortable enough on my wrist in the heat (the Nylon band is the only one which doesn't cause any sweating for me!!).

The Belkin is definitely my fave watch strap at the moment.
