Classic cyprus sport band today...

For me the comfort from having a slight air gap instead of the sport band steel clasp under the wrist has stopped me from buying sport bands ever again.

I too mostly am only buying solo loops recently, and as much as I love them, the biggest downside I'm noticing is that the band can become so comfortable that I sometimes forget I'm actually wearing the watch

Team Solo Loop here as well. But it will take a looong time to get all the nice Sport Band colours we already have (or close-enough Doppelgänger) as Solo Loops. I have only replaced 2 so far (Canary —> Ginger and Papaya —> Kumquat).

I am just not at all interested in solo loops. The sizing seems goofy to me, I’ve seen a lot of pictures of people getting rashes, plus I run over 40 miles a week sometimes and often have to adjust my band for swelling and whatnot. I hope they don’t become the standard.

To each his or her own, but the sizing is a one-time problem. Once you know your size, you have the best fitting, most comfortable band Apple makes. The number of people getting rashes is surely minimal relative to the huge amount of bands around, and I have seen rashes from „regular“ Sport Bands as well. For the swelling, well the Solo Loops are extremely flexible and will just adapt to the slightly larger wrist size. Maybe you can get one for cheap on ebay and try for yourself sometime, you‘d be surprised just how comfortable they really are.
 
The first pic, Kaleidoscope face? Really likin' the look! Your ceramic with that band is such a clean look; simple yet stands out.
Yep, one of the many kaleidoscope faces on the Buddywatch app. Note that Buddywatch is not like Clockology, where you have to have the app running all the time. Buddywatch allows you to download pre-made/designed faces directly to the faces colloection in the watch app on your phone, and even gives you the option to auto download any apps with complications included on that face if you don't already have it. Awesome little app.

Ah, that's one thing that threw me: the complications. I had read that Clockology faces don't support complications, but as I saw them on your AW face, I did not suspect an alternate watch face app. Thanks for the info. Any funky side-effects of Buddywatch to be aware of?
