Here is my new series 7 in abyss blue, with my favourite strap that I used to use with my series 1. I picked up the strap in the Apple Store on Regent street, London, back in 2017

Posting graphite Milanese loop that came with the watch just to share the real life look for people comparing this with the Space black combo.

In my effort to ensure everyone knows how great the Titanium Edition watch is (along with my hairy arm), here is my S7 with Marine Green. Also, just because (in my observation) there arent as many shots of Natural Ti with all sorts of bands :)

Really nice.

I have that same watch on order (different band). Wasn't sure about the Ti until I went to my closest Apple Store (2.5 hours away) and took a look at it; unfortunately, none in stock (they directed me to another store another 2 hours away for one in store, but chose to practice patience and order online). Coming from SSSB wanted something different this time.

Any charging issues as reported in other threads? Sorry, don't mean to jinx anything for you. 😕

I love that strap, too. I saw Marques Brownlee wearing it in one of his videos, years ago and thought it looked pretty cool, so I found a new/unopened one on eBay and paid about $100 for it. Still better than the $200 I paid for my Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue, though. 🤣

Two of my favorite straps though, for working out and in the summer.

How resistant to pulling are the magnets in the Milanese? And, if anyone can speak for the magnets in Leather Link?

Unfortunately I must consider that there may be times that the magnet end in Milanese or the lip on the leather link would get stuck in my own clothing or maybe something else, taking the watch off..

I am trying to figure out the resistance/ strengths of the magnets, consequently, without having to visit the Store (70 km away).


I would think the sport loop and sport band are rather difficult to come undone this way, and are, therefore, becoming a safer, preferred choice at the moment. But I love the look of those two mentioned above, so if I can get some idea I can make a purchase.

All help is appreciated.

Casual lifting of forearm over the scalp gets the hair entangled in the Milanese loop as it is full of micro holes. And yes, with the weight of the stainless steel, sometimes the magnet slowly slips and loosens the grip. But it is very elegant.

I meant to know about the strength of the magnetic hold for cases when someone tries to pull the watch off your wrist or instances when loop gets in somewhere and the risk of watch falling off as opposed to straps such as sport band or the sport loop that would not be so easily undone.

I understand the idea of static ... but the Milanese is a looker, can't quite resist it. Purchased it a short while ago. Did I say it? I meant it-s. Cos not 1 but 4. I purchased 4 bands. Somebody pinch me. I am still not believing I bought 4 watch bands in one go..

And @athousandbands is making me think about the Mystic Navy Nike.. Glad that I usually wear blue jeans, and my car is blue, some of my summer tees comprise blue, so I would avoid adding another blue to my wrist as well cos sitting in the car I wonder if people will look at me and sing "I'm Blue da ba dee daba da.."

Otherwise, this Mystic Navy is quite a looker and would have purchased it as well. 🤯😫

On another note, while mentioning @athousandbands I found a smart one with @athousandandonebands. Didn't think username rivalries existed. 🤣

The artist formerly known as mikedop claims innocence on that one, but certainly someone wanted to ruin my forum search experience
