Beautiful watch! I wish I would have gone “classy” like you.
Where is the band from? Is it lined underneath?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks! the inside of the band is leather-ish, the outside is a felt/suede feel. It's by Platinum I found it at Best buy on sale so I picked it up as my interim rugged band until the other two I ordered show up. They call it a "Fabric" band

What is the top left complication please?
I just tried Battery Life. I think it’s BatteryPhone.

No, it looks like it updates every 30min or if done manually.
I got this leather strap in today. Comes with two loose keepers and a space grey tang buckle. They are made specifically for the AW4 and the space grey or stainless steel/silver watches. The adapter fits really well to the watch and matches the space grey well but it is polished. That buckle is not though.
I have these clasps made to be used with leather straps that are the same type you would see on watch bracelets.

Great looking band at a competitive price but for me, I just don't like how stiff new leather bands actually are - it makes the watch sit up from your wrist as the leather band doesn't touch your wrists properly because the leather is so stiff.
I know leather needs a 'wearing in' period but I just don't like this initial period!!

Surprisingly (for the price) the leather on this band is very supple.
My Brown leather band with SS Gold adapters came in, the adapters look realllly close to the Gold SS watch, buckle is more bronze but I'm happy with it. I got this from Arrow and Board and I'm impressed. I have one more Black leather band coming from someone else so I can update with those too but I'm happy with this look too. This is the Simple band Espresso color from Arrow and Board. https://arrowandboard.com/collections/essential-collection

I'm eyeing up the tobacco color one!

I sold my 40 mm Apple Watch aluminum and bought a Stainless Steel instead.
Main reason why I didn’t go with SS before is because they don’t sell it in The Netherlands. However, I ordered one from German webshop Gravis.
I am fully in love with that polished Space Black and that amazing sapphire screen. I don’t want to sound like a rich kid, but the Aluminum version looks kind of matte compared to the SS.

Do you have a link for the strap clasp you are using? Thanks

24mm panerai leather band using clockwork synergy adapters. I’ll see how it goes. Edit: the sport loop is back on same day it came off for the leather. The adapter felt like it had way too much play and I was became concerned with the integrity of the connection. I also realize with the way I use this watch a sport loop or band will be the better way to go.

I’ve had the silver stainless since series 0, so made the switch up. Space black with authentic Milanese. It’s a beauty.

Nice photo! Hey, what band is that? A mesh? What brand?
It’s Apples Milanese loop. The telltale sign of an authentic Apple Milanese loop is that it fills up the whole of the lug. Unlike the third party ones, which are normally a mm narrower.
Oh and they state in the post that it’s an authentic Milanese loop.
