Absolutely. AppleCare doesn't cover cosmetic damage, and since this is a purely cosmetic change, it's irrelevant. Also, it would take about ten minutes to restore the brushed finish, so I could always just do that before having it serviced.

With this and other watch faces alike, it makes the hour and minute hands look like they're physically there, rather than digital
Metro is just such a gamechanger, how did it take this long?With this and other watch faces alike, it makes the hour and minute hands look like they're physically there, rather than digital
Even changing the length and shape of the numerals really makes me feel like I’m making a custom watch face.
I’m just never gonna know the date ever again. Worth it
I would be interested to see your restored brush finish
Just add a date complication
I like it, but I don't like how it doesn't show the numbers on AOD. The way my brain works, it always takes a second to figure out the time without numbers.
Yeah, that's probably not going to happen for a very long time. I just got the watch looking the way I want it! 😅
I could give up Mindfulness since I mostly do them on Fitness+ these days but having it there is still…aspirational?Just add a date complication

A little midnight-graphite-midnight action... and yes I wiped the M2 down with the Apple polishing cloth to get rid of all the nasty fingerprints before I took the shot 🤣

It’s just my curiosity honestly because I don’t believe it can be restored after being polished and I’d love to see the result of trying to restore it back to original. One can only wonder, what matters is that it is how you like it!
Well I'm pretty sure it can be done - I polished my stainless steel link band a few years ago to a mirror shine (didn't do a perfect job but it was decent) and then went back to a brushed finish using the scouring pad from a dollar store kitchen sponge (and later, a graphite eraser for touch-ups):
Polished (2019):
Back to brushed (2022):
I'll probably re-brush this watch when I get the battery serviced, though. Since the battery health is still at 100% (can't be accurate, lol!) it will likely be a while.
I believe it, the s7 got a boost for the indoor AOD brightness. And did you install the beta? That adds 4% in my experience
Ah, that must be it. Yes, I'm running watchOS 9 ... Couldn't wait for the new watch faces. 🤣
I agree with you completelyThem braided solo loops look gorgeous but there's no way I'm paying £99 for one from Apple.......

I was on holiday, forgot to bring my grey sport loop that came with the Ti. My leather strap was quite sweaty in the heat so went to apple shop and bought the braided. Yes pricey, but I only own 4 straps so I don't feel too extravagantThem braided solo loops look gorgeous but there's no way I'm paying £99 for one from Apple.......
