Just picked up the Royal Pulse/Lava Glow Nike Sport Loop. Looks really good with the Stainless Steel, I think it would look great with the Space Black as well. I saw videos and reviews that mentioned the colors get washed out a little in this particular color way and it is true they are pretty subtle but I actually like the understatement of this band. I also love the black borders. I’m happy with it.

Finally upgraded from a cheap aluminum Series 1 to a luxurious Titanium Series 5 Edition. Also bought a titanium link bank from Nomad to match.

My MacBook Pro in the background, with my other bands sitting on it ("Saddle Brown Leather Loop," supplied gray sport, and (PRODUCT)RED sport loop.) Yes, I'm a sucker for titanium things - my wedding band is titanium, I have a set of titanium-frame glasses, I have two titanium analog watches I owned long before smartwatches were a thing, and many other titanium objects. I knew the moment Apple announced the titanium Watch Edition, I would have to get one. Finally got around to it. (Got my annual bonus at work.)

Also helped that it's only $100 more than the steel model.

And yes, I change bands frequently. This is the first time I've bought non-stock Apple bands, though (the leather loop and the sport loop.) Just as with phone cases, I tend to buy cheap generics. The Nomad Titanium was the first actually expensive band I've bought. But just as with the watch coming out in titanium, I knew I'd have to get the Nomad Titanium when it was announced. (I have a cheapo black anodized aluminum link band for my previous black aluminum Apple Watch, and the Nomad is just so much better. The clasp on the cheap aluminum one bends if you look at it wrong, and the edges don't line up properly.)

I like that setup a lot. Only thing I don’t like about Nomad bands is the lugs have that extra piece on them. To me it changes the shape of the watch too much. I had one for a while but couldn’t get past those lugs. Glad you are liking yours.

Any chance anybody can post some space black SS?

I’d love to see the California Watch face with Roman numerals. I had the Series 0 but I’d love to see that face on the redesign

That’s a nice looking watch. Please describe.

Thank you. Well, it’s a stainless steel series 5, 44 MM. Band is a woven nylon strap from a few years ago. Came out in 2016. Then it’s the California watch-face with purple color.

Series 5 44mm stainless steel with Apple link bracelet and new Alaskan blue sport band. Loving the always on display much more than I thought. My choice watch faces are the California, solar dial and gradient.

Current set up on my 44mm S4

So glad I took the plunge and quickly went from an S3 to an S4. The S3 faces look so dated compared to what is available on my S4

Knock off all black sport loop

SG metal band for my series 5 SG aluminum.

What color is the watch face? It looks like it is black with white numbers but blue date and hands. What color setting do you have to choose to get that look? (I can get blue numbers and white date and hands, but that seems to be backwards from what you have) Thanks!

I really like that band. The colors could pop a bit more. It’s washed out enough to look gray and can go with anything imo
