Hi, I’m a new member here 👋

About a month ago, I purchased WATCH Series 6 Space Grey Aluminium Case 44mm with black sport band, with a rationale “I need to be able to unlock my iPhone when wearing a mask without entering the passcode”.

But then I made a mistake by spending too much time in this forum and specifically this thread 😁

Since then, I decided to buy Space Black Milanese Loop, Black Sport Loop, and traded my watch to Graphite Stainless Steel with Black Sport Band 🤦‍♂️. The stainless steel version is not officially being sold by Apple Authorized Reseller in my country, so I had to pay premium price for this watch.

I don’t know if I’ve made the right decision, I kinda like the matt colour of the Space Grey, but the stainless steel feels much more premium and I need the sapphire crystal screen. I tried to take several photos with the new watch below.

Now, I already ordered Black Leather Link and really consider to buy Sunflower Sport Loop. Please advice how to stop..

Welcome to the addiction!

My favorite bands are the Nike Sport Bands because I work outside and they breathe really well and allow sweat to escape. Because of the bands I’ve seen in this thread, I’ve purchased 6 or 7 new bands in just the past couple of months (with more I’m interested in). It helps that I’ve only paid list price for 2 of them (the new Hasta/Light Silver and the older Obsidian/Black). Every other band I’ve been able to get at really good discounts just by being patient and hunting them down in different places.

I really like the look of the graphite SS watch, so I think you made the right choice in switching out to it. Enjoy!

Yes, I also like to search patiently in different places. Unfortunately (or fortunately) yesterday I found a stainless steel link bracelet with a very reasonable price, but I can’t justify the urge to buy it.. 😅 Thanks to you now I’m thinking to look for the Nike Sport Band..

Anybody use graphite stainless steel case with silver link bracelet? I tried to do this combination in Apple website through their Apple Watch Studio but I'm still not sure how it will look in real life.

no need to be sorry ;)
yep, that is correct: all stainless steel apple watches (starting from series 3, if i remember correctly) will have cellular connectivity.

edit ... i was too slow i guess =)

Tks, Bricktop!
Tks, schlupps! The important thing is that you helped me!
