I went with what Apple recommended. Probably could have gone one size down with the stretch over the last month. Doesn't feel too large and really is comfy being slightly loose.
Got a tip for us?

Ha.... I wear a size 7 in the regular solo loop. I got this as a "gift" from Apple after I told them I couldn't wear my navy solo loop because it was causing burn-like rashes on my wrist, which was a real shame because it's just so darn comfortable.
They were trying to get me to return the whole shebang, titanium watch and all, to get a different band and I told them I'd rather not go through the trouble and I'll just use an old sport band I had given to a buddy along with the S4 watch I sold him that he never wore. Guess I got at their heart strings with that part.
Anyway, back to my original point. Size 7 solo loop, I recalled trying on these braided ones at the store when they were still allowing it and the 6 was the smallest they had and that was too loose by far (or so I thought). So I asked them for a 4 thinking I'd just trade up if need be. Turns out Apple doesn't exchange stuff if you didn't actually purchase it. I guess it makes sense because there's no receipt for them to look up but back in the day I'd walk into a store and ask to swap out a case color/material and they'd just pull one out of the little drawer and swap it on the spot, no computer involvement.
Very nice. Honest question: how long did it take to shine it up perfectly like that? When I had my graphite S6 before the titanium arrived, I was constantly polishing it with my shirt sleeve.
Honestly the trick is I grab an old shirt or a small towel and wet it and clean the watch with it and it cleans super easily and dries clean on its own, it’s super quick. The polished finishes in my opinion are easier to clean than the Ti. The Ti would leave dry streaks easily when cleaning with a wet cloth.

Beautiful!! a great match to a certain Navy Blue iPhone case...... 😇Nike World Indigo/Lime Blast
what combination is this? I know it's natural Titanium but what colour is the band? it looks grey or black to me not sure?
thats not the point of spending money on a apple watch to baby it. you want to admire it in it's full beauty.It will look beautiful when I take it off after workout without a ding
Same - I usually sell my watches but I may need to keep this around if there isn't a SB Series 7. Such a great/durable finish

Can I please get a link to that seller? I’ve been looking for a real Gamma Blue but I’d rather buy a new one. A little hard to come by.
Here you go, but it's coming up as "unavailable". I bought it back in October 2018, according to Amazon.
