41mm Midnight Nike edition and Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band
This is a whole new experience for me. I have always opted for Stainless Steel/Titanium finishes since Series 0 and also always went with the larger face. This year after trying out the 45mm Watch, to me it is starting to look like a giant screen on the wrist and the 41mm is that perfect sweet spot to compliment my wrist. Let me just say being a huge band collector selling all my bands, especially super exclusive ones was tough but out with the old in with the new. This new Midnight finish is so nice in my opinion, I honestly never cared much for Space Gray and also the screen quality has really improved on the Aluminum finish, that was another one of my issues with the Aluminum watches. The screen now feels a lot denser giving it more of a glass feel compared to the previous Ion-X that just felt like a thin plasticky layer. I also have always said if I go Aluminum I will go Nike! Very happy with my choice!

Wow! Can’t believe you pulled the trigger and switched sizes! Looks great though. Good news is that rarer bands can usually be found more easily/cheaply in the smaller size.41mm Midnight Nike edition and Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band

Nike starlight on cornflower sport loop (knockoff)
I have noticed that! Got a few on the way already to restart the collection. The bulk of my collection was Sport Loops which I will not be getting at all as I don’t like how short on my wrist they are with the smaller watch. So Nike Sport Bands, Braided Solos and Leather Links are my go to bands now.

Nice to see someone getting a watch that compliments their wrist. Seeing a huge watch on a wrist that clearly doesn't work is cringeworthy hahaha...looks great!
Looking good! I‘m sure you‘ll find the smaller size bands you‘re after. I (like others noted too) have noticed that the rarer ones are often more easily found in the smaller configuration, so enjoy hunting them down41mm Midnight Nike edition and Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band

That’s so true. I was able to get some that took me so long to find in the larger size right away and also for much better prices. Pics coming soon!
First Apple Watch.
Bought 4 bands already. I have to say, to each their own, but to me, ALL of these are great, fit-wise, magnetic/ clasp strength-wise. I do love them all. Sport Loop, for obvious reasons, is the easiest to put on. Leather Link I struggle with to get a snug fit, it is almost always too loose. It takes me 2-3 attempts to get that. Any feedback is welcome on how to stop wasting time on leather link fit (no, won't sell it, I love it!)
Also have the Golden Brown case for the iPhone mini. The two go well together, not that I color-matched. I bought this Golden Brown because I like this color. It was tough picking this over Dark Cherry and I should not dream to buy that, too. Let's keep room for the summer.
Golden Brown Leather Link, 45mm Series 7 Starlight
Graphite Milanese Loop, 45mm Series 7 Starlight
Olive Grey/ Cargo Khaki Nike Sport Band, 45mm Series 7 Starlight
Tornado/ Grey Sport Loop, 45mm Series 7 Starlight
Do not have the editing prowess of @athousandbands so colors could be, and most likely would be off.

Picked up a Ti S7 yesterday, loving AOD and everything else, and I will keep my SBSS S4
So this i my new midnight leather link after being worn for one day at the office.
It’s like a layer of coating coming of on a few ”pills”
Are they this delicate or something wrong with mine? Still within return window o no problem really. Just a bit disapointed, any of you have similar experience?
I don’t see the issue in the picture clearly. Mine hasn’t shown any wear yet, though mine is golden brown. I’ve had it for almost a month.

This is my current setup of Apple Watch 6.
Having two watches, do you have to pair and re-pair each time or can two watches be linked to the iPhone?
No. I changed my mind. As soon as I received my Hermes SS 7 (fell totally head over heels), I went straight to my local Apple store and traded in the 6. I see no point in owning two AWs.
One can have multiple watches paired to a single phone and switch between them at will. Works great.
