Show off your Apple Watch

Weirdly think my Ultra wears very similar to my BB58.

Naw, it’s nice, but it looks way bigger on the wrist than your bb58. When it comes to watch proportions, dial size is one of the most important dimensions, so, with smartwatches, it’s about going with the smallest screen size. Plus, the band of the smaller 41mm AW is 22mm, which is already on the large size for mechanical watches.

The 41mm AW is the only one that might actually be mistaken for a regular mechanical watch from a distance. The Ultra is all wrist computer, which is fine, btw. It’s not like these things need to look like mechanical watches. It was just something I was pointing out 🍻

I'm perfectly aware that my Ultra doesn't look anything like a mechanical watch and that the dial of a mechanical is the main thing you would see, but if you include the lugs of my BB58 it doesn't take up that much more space on my wrist.

Do you find that the straps are wide enough relative to the size of the apple watch ultra's wide body?

Yeah looks good on the ultra. Band dosent look thin.

I have both an Explorer 214270 (39 mm.) and a 3861 Speedy (42 mm.) and I actually agree. Maybe the Explorer feels smaller (and thinner!!) but the Speedy has (even though it's thinner) a similar wrist presence to me

So apparently there were plans to release a black/dark grey ceramic S4/5 Watch … 😲

Played around with the diving feature while in Curaçao. Pretty cool for recreation.

It may not take up much more space, technically, but it looks relatively huge. I’m not saying that’s bad or anything, but it’s a giant looking watch in comparison to a 39-42mm diver.

It may not take up much more space

This is the point I was making. 😆

Time to try an Apple Watch. Later today I will receive a new SE GPS + Cellular, 44mm. Silver colour with two bands: Storm Blue sports loop; and Bright Orange sports band. I was disappointed to find that there is no bright blue strap being offered.

Poor photography but here it is...

Strange thing happened today… went into a shop to check out an AW Ultra and now I own one😅
I have to admit that I like it a lot more than I had thought👌🏻

Can’t remember the name of this blue. Got it on clearance at the end of 2021. S7 Midnight

Looks like either Capri or Surf. My guess is Capri.

I think it's Capri.

bright Orange is a new addition to my collection, finally adding a recent (2023) band to the pile. This one plays tricks on the eye, because it sometimes looks like Hermes Orange, maybe just a shade lighter.

Nice, now you got the best of both AW worlds. 😊 Have you reached the 5-Watches-limit yet?

In fact the Ultra is No. 5 😅

But I‘m going to sell my S6 SSG and since I really enjoy the Ultra a lot I‘m thinking of maybe also selling the S7 NaTi because I have a feeling that it won’t get a lot of wrist time from now on

Is that the Apple Orange sport band? Or a 3rd party. If the latter, link, please. It looks good.

That’s the Apple one from 2015.
I generally don’t wear knockoffs, that seriously spoils the fun of wearing and collecting them 🙂

Online the current one does not look as vibrant. Yours looks good. I wonder if it changed. Might order one and see. 👍

The current one is different, Apple releases new colors regularly and discontinues the others.
