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)!View attachment 1875543
.Yes Ti is noticeably lighter, though SS weight is only noticeable for a moment or two. Sorta hoped I’d prefer graphite SS as it works with more bands and just has a stunning finish. But, SBTi is simply so well designed and is such a unique and evocative expression of apple’s design and engineering, that I had to select it over graphite. I see why they consider it their edition watch. But both watches offer beautiful implementations of each metal. I’ll add, haptics on the Ti (and Al) are noticeably more prominent than on the ss, to me anyway. You chose well, I think you’ll love the SBTi. I hear you about the wait but the weeks are ticking by, and soon you’ll have worn it longer than you’ve waited for it. Post pics!
Yeah good point. Do you know, would I just take it into an apple store or should I contact apple over the phone first?
Actually part of my concern is that they’ll consider it damage. But this was the condition right out of the box. I’ll need to make it clear to them.
Do this and have them replace it. Definitely unacceptable!
ahh right then yeah totally not acceptable.
If you are within 14 days of you receiving the item, you should be able to return it without any hassle, even with damage. You may have to schedule an appointment with the store if they are not taking walk ins. If it is over 14 days, I would contact apple first.
I must say that I was surprised myself. Buying Ti had the inconvenience of "not being able" to use the old classic buckle or the SS silver link bracelet. But my surprise is that the classic buckle looks great, barely noticeable difference, and I'm telling you this from a person who is very fussy about such details. And the funny thing is that, in the case of the link bracelet, I like it better with Ti than with SS! The strap, for some reason, has a more matte tone than the watch, and I see it even better with the Ti case.
Yeah I got it just days ago from eBay, half price and unopened box. Apple doesn't sell it anymore, however they've stopped selling product red solo loop as well but I was able to buy it directly in the Apple Store two weeks ago. Perhaps they have black in stock as well, have a look if you are close to one.
Yep, that’s my concern, though I’d prefer to be transparent about it. Correct, I can barely notice it even while knowing it’s there, so I don’t think it’ll be an issue. I may have to wait about 6-8 weeks for another one to be available 🤷🏻♂️.

I have returned watches with out of box damage and just told them about it. It did not affect the return at all.
Thanks, good tip. Luckily I still have a couple days before my 14 days window ends. Which is probably why it’s bothering me more now lol.
Love the Titanium look (and not just because that‘s the combo I ordered)!
I am really loving the rainbow braided band! I was thinking of getting one for my upcoming SS Silver 45mm (which won’t arrive for another month!—but I will wait), but I was worried about how the colors and material will show dirt/sweat. Same with the lavender color, which I think is lovely. Also…will the braided material acquire an odor from wearing during workouts?
