Always had a SS and loved the classic buckles Apple used to do. I liked the photos of the gold this year so decided to try it; I’m not sure it will match my bands well.. might just stick with the silver.

My new series 6. I’m still torn on how I feel about the color, love the blue at times and at other times it feels a bit too much. Also having a hard time finding bands to match the blue.
I love my blue. I am using a rose red band now and it’s a gorgeous combo. What I did notice though are the brighter colors like Spearmint are a tad too bright but white, black, and muted and darker colors are perfect.

Certainly the blue won't be a perfect fit with every band, but then again, no watch will be a perfect fit to every band. Maybe the blue will look good with even less bands, but I find it looks great/good with lots of bands, and not only dark or blue ones.

Here is mine with the band of the week (Nike, gray perhaps?).

PS: I just noticed on the pics a big scratch in my watch... 😋

Yap. Again, this looks good because it looks dark enough to be space gray unless in direct light. The red doesn’t work as well in those situations.

Braided solo loop (finally). It’s a wee tight at the moment so I look forward to it stretching a little but overall I like it quite a bit. Not quite as comfortable as the regular solo loop but I’ll give it time. One thing I did notice is how hefty the lugs feel. They seat into the watch way more snug than any of my other bands, including the metal ones.

Canary Yellow Sport Loop (I would not mind at all if Mango joined Cream as another convert from the colored faces to real band color. Could be a great successor to the Kumquat SpLo)

Ugh, I wish I had the chance to get this color for my Apple Watch 44mm. I would love to use this color for walks in the evening. Plus the color itself gives me the motivation and pep to workout. It's such a fun color!

I've been a sucker for the Apple Sport loop bands. They were so much more comfortable than the silicone bands. The silicone bands felt uncomfortable on my skin and sweaty when I wear them. But my favorite band that I'm wearing right now is the braided loop. I've been waiting to get the braided loop bands for awhile since they were out of stock for a good few months but I finally nagged one at the nearest apple store at my parents house during Christmas week via courier delivery. I'm Deaf so I rely on my watch constantly for text notifications, the alarms, and being able to find my iPhone where the watch can actually turn on the flash on the phone so I can find it instead of relying on sound. It's super comfortable to wear the watch to sleep with the braided band and it also feels extremely nice when I'm working on the computer as a graphic designer + photographer. I don't have to worry about scratching my Apple Macbook pro when I'm working.

Mine all come from the Clockology Fans Facebook group and I use the brilliant Clockology app on my watch.
Love the app, I should go in and clean out some faces, I've synced a LOT to the watch since I discovered it - only 2-3 weeks ago. (The Rolex face is kind of silly for an Apple Watch)

I'll export the PNG faces - very easy through the app, I may make a few changes to it, clean /sharpen up the logo, sometimes the alignment of the date is a tad off by a few pixels (noticed that on a few Hermes faces I have). Fun little time killer.

*Not shocking - the Apple watch battery life, at least on mine - takes a slightly hard hit.
