That's beautiful! I pre-ordered the starlight as well, but when I went to the store on launch day I fell in love with the graphite SS & canceled my order! I've also had the watch since the first one and this is my favorite one yet! I also love the pride bands and was bummed that Apple no longer has the Nike pride band available. However, I was able to order one from Best Buy today!
I went more than a little crazy with bands this time. I am obsessed with dressing up my favorite Apple watch of all time! I added eight new ones to my collection - braided solo in Abyss Blue & pride, Solo in dark cherry, leather link in chalk and midnight, and sport in red. I also just ordered the Nike pride sport from Best Buy (I have issues). This one is my favorite (today at least ![;)]( "Wink ;)")

Wow, that’s a touch too busy for my liking.
One of my top favorites. Both in terms of look and feelI went more than a little crazy with bands this time. I am obsessed with dressing up my favorite Apple watch of all time!

Please don’t judge my editing skill…here are some pix with a few bands with a new Black Ti model. Quite happy move from Gold SS5 model. Gold SS is beautiful and pretty while Black Ti is more mannish, but I actually love it. (During this pandemic, I grew my hair up to just above my hip and I just got my hair cut super short and made a donation! So, going a little mannish is my style these days.)
I am only going to keep just few bands now, so it would be streamlined and become an easier selection everyday. Frankly i owe so many bands and I am a bit overwhelmed. Though I chose Starlight in my package, out of all other bands, Chalk Pink is now growing on me unexpectedly, though I don’t much like hassles putting it on(I have some bleeding scratch marks from my own nail…). I also like Nike Midnight one. What’s fav bands with your SB Ti model???
I apologize for two pics with Starlight. Fyi, the last pinkish orange band is Cantaloupe.

Just learned some of you had not gotten Ti yet, so I will post a few more pix with other bands.
(Btw, I reside in Japan, so the inventory is different from other countries, but just fyi, the order started to take from 9PM here, I placed an order at 9:02PM with the customized Starlight band and the delivery date was Oct. 20. I received it on the exact date. The first log of the shipment was Oct. 15. The China cargo departure date was Oct. 17th.)
The orangey band is Merigold, the new band.
The red one is my old Raspberry that went well with my Gold SS5. Note this does not go well with my new Ti model at all….:-(
The grey one is the band that came with in a box.
The Blue braided one is the new one, Abyss Blue. You can see some brass parts coming out from the edge now, so I will be returning this for sure. Frankly, I had tried the very first batch/group of the Black Model(called Charcoal?) when it came out…that used to fit perfectly with the watch. But from the following month with the later shipments, after I got the re-seized one(size 6 to size 4), the manufacturing had gotten so poor and the brass length did not match and shorter by around 0.3-0.5mm in each corner(the length-wise). With these this time, the brass part around 0.1-0.3MM can be seen. Sure, mine is a black watch, so it stands out, but is it too hard to make the brass that is holding the braided bands by 0.1-0.2mm?
I am taking these photos in the living room but with the white study desk light on the table, so when you see the default grey band, they look lighter than the actual…just for your reference. Thus, I think the last picture at 23:41 best represents the watch color in-person in house. Cheers.

I'm not digging the graphite with the silver stainless steel link ... I think I'm going to return it, and stick with my series 6 for another year. Also, I had the 16th post in this thread, and now the 17,744th. That's kinda cool!

The black link bracelet goes better with graphite.
Is that a reflection, or a wallpaper? If the latter, what is the name of it, please?
It‘s the watch face corresponding to the band (plus some reflections), here’s how to download them all: https://9to5mac.com/2021/07/01/download-international-apple-watch-faces/
Indeed. But there's no way I'm spending $500 on another link bracelet (which is how much I paid for the silver one, years ago) when it can't even be touched up or refinished, when it gets scratched. The silver one is easy to restore to a 'like new' condition, but the black one - once it's scratched, it's scratched forever. 😓

I’ve had the black link bracelet for about 3 years and it’s never scratched. It’s as good as it was on day one.
S7 SS with northern blue solo loop and Sierra Blue iPhone 13 PM
There’s also some speculation that the new Fall colors that released after the 7 announcement are slightly shorter than the previous bands to make up the 1mm difference between watch sizes.
Can confirm all my fall21 silicone loops appear to be shorter by usually 1mm.
