And the numbers disappear when the AOD comes on for the white face, which is quite a cool look.

I have this one in Space Black. Never used any other band ever again. Love it!Yup, had to do it. Official link.
Amazing bracelet. Love mine as well. Could use a brush up though as it has been scratched a bit over the last couple of yearsYup, had to do it. Official link.
My brand new 40mm Series 5 Nike after the launch version decided to break a few weeks back. Still can’t believe I managed to get a new sealed midnight blue strap for just £7 on eBay.

Yeah, there's not much reason to change once you got that one.
I thought about that. I think I'll just leave mine. Let the character stay, know what I mean?
Yeah I haven’t done anything about it either but think it’s okay to do on a bracelet. Would never polish the watch though
I don't know - just that every time you polish it, you remove metal, so just not to ruin it
Love my Apple Watch SB & iPhone 11 Pro Max

Yeah, I figure you do that when you polish the band too so I just leave it. I get your point though.
I remember when I got my first stainless steel WATCH, I thought it would scratch like hell within two weeks and instantly look like a classic iPod with the mirrored finish losing a fight to a sand blaster. What I later discovered is it will definitely gather micro-scratches, but not to the point it would give my inner OCD a stroke. I know it's cliche, but it is definitely true IMO that it gathers character over time. I decided a polish every six months or so works well for me to get that new watch look and feel.
With the link band, on the other hand, I have not and never will polish that. Using a brushed refinishing pad will restore the brushed metal look on the link band quite well, and there are some how-to videos on YouTube.
As always, YMMV.
Ok folks the cabin fever has set in and he’s a beast. Playing Hermes dress-up with all my cheaply acquired modern buckles is all I can do to not freak out over the zoomers partying shirtless in front of the Airbnb across the street. I give you (blue jay/marigold), (raspberry/sunset), (aubergine/cornflower):
Also couldnt resist the Neptune/crimson Ekiden (Japanese marathon) pack Nikes to go with my sport loop. There’s also a shoe that matches the midnight turquoise/aurora green sport band. And a shoe that matches all four colors!

My Stainless Steel Series 2 (38mm) turns 3 years old today so I decided to give it a nice polish and retire the Milanese Loop.
I purchased the Apple Link Bracelet at a massive discount, i got it for 145€.
The original price was 475€ but there’s a huge sale going on at iStyle (apple premium reseller). BTW iStyle operates in multiple countries in Europe and the sale is live in other countries
After the polish and with the new Link Bracelet it looks brand new again. And because I turn it off every night the battery life is still great !
I will use this watch until it stars falling apart lol

Did you get it polished by a jeweler or did you do it yourself? Looks good!
I’ve done it myself ! It took about 30 minutes.
I take it off the case at home sometimes to clean it. The back of the iPhone 11 Pro looks stunning!!
I love this year’s Apple black leather case. It isn’t as dark as the XS, It reminds me of the charcoal grey colour from the 8 Plus/X.
