Show off your Apple Watch

I was saying it eight years ago, and I still feel it today: if you’re a mechanical watch lover who is worried about the transition to a smartwatch, get the smallest Apple Watch on the link bracelet (even if you’re big. I’m 6’2”.) It wears like a 40mm mechanical, and the link bracelet is one of the better steel bracelets ever made.

Already have an AWU, but picked up a used Graphite SS S7 for $375 this thing is in great condition, and has 96% battery health and it came with this black sport band 👌🏻

Congrats! I know you’ve wanted Graphite for a while. How do you like it?

Thanks bro! I've wanted a SS since I saw your posts, and really realized how beautiful of a watch it really is. I'm loving it so far! I just picked it up last night, but I forgot how nice the smaller form factor of the regular Apple watches is. I'm going to wear it at work, and while relaxing at home, and when I go out and about, sleep, etc.
I'm going to swap it out for my Ultra when I go to the gym in the mornings, can't be risking scratching the SS on the dumbbells

Congrats! The SS models are awesome compliments to the Ultra. I love having the ability to swap out based on the activities of the day.

Thank you! The beauty of the SS models can't be beat, that's for sure! And you're exactly right, I'm going to be wearing the SS while I sleep, relax at home, work, etc. and I'm going to swap to my Ultra when I go to the gym!

Why you say that 41 mm is better for mechanical watch lover?
