Show off your Apple Watch

So I recently upgraded from stainless steel series 3 to space black titanium series 6. not sure if i'm so used to the stainless steel one but find the SBTI a bit dull and kind of wish I went for natural titanium. I find going from a shiny stainless steel watch to a black titanium is a very different look.

I bought the watch from ebay it was brand new sealed so can't exactly return it would need to sell it back and would lose even more money. for anyone with this watch are you able to recommend any bands which go well with it? i'm trying my best to get on board with it, maybe i'll like it in time.

You can “build” an Apple Watch on their site/app and see how bands look on the SPTI. It’s a smaller selection as many bands have been discontinued over the seasons but you can get a better overall sense of what looks good on it.

I just tried and liked these three very much but your style may be much different.

thanks for posting, I like the saddle brown leather link. I think i may sell the watch and get titanium just not feeling it as much as I thought I would.

I totally understand! I’ve owned nothing but stainless steels, Space Black or regular. I got a series 5 in space black titanium last year and only kept it for a few months. It just didn’t do it for me either. Natural titanium is definitely a nice choice! Good luck with maneuvering everything to get your hands on it without having to come out too much out of pocket for the swap.

thank you, i've given it a chance and really wanted to like it, but it's too much of a change from stainless steel. I was originally going to go for space black stainless steel but they changed the color to Graphite which i'm not a fan of. So I thought space black titanium would be the next best choice but I find the watch looks too much like the space grey one. the natural titanium is more unique to me.

Yes I do love SBSS, it’s a great durable finish with a nice uniformed sheen to the watch. I have a Series 5 SBSS that was actually the watch I went to after selling my SBTi. In order to get SBSS in series 6 you have to opt for Hermès which makes it more of a unicorn especially if they continue with that route.

It’s a Nike Sport Loop so yes Apple release, great band for that army green look!

I really like the older, solid sport loops. I wish Apple would stop with the asymmetrical, two-tone bands. I mean, a few here and there is fine, but almost every sport loop now is asymmetric.

Space black looks true black, like a shiny black. The graphite almost looks like a dark silver colour now which I don’t like. Yeah the hermes one looks amazing but I can’t afford it. Not sure what to do, I keep telling myself it’s only colour and not to be stupid and just keep it 🙈

I actually think you being happy with the finish/color of your watch is important. It’s an accessory that you wear regularly, yes it is a utility being a smart watch but it is also a watch which is like a jewelry/fashion piece especially if you’re opting for SS and above.
