Show off your Apple Watch

After seeing some of the recent pictures here, and hearing many good things about the Steel Link Bands, I got the SB and Silver versions this week. Here are a few shots of the Silver.

There is a mismatch between the band and the Silver SS watch. At times this bugs me a little (like seeing mismatched lugs/watch). Other times it looks just fine. I could polish the band to match the watch, but as some folks mentioned, that could look "too blingy". I agree that it could. The band is new to me so I will give it some time.

I completely understand what you mean, I feel the same way when I pair SS and Silver Link. To me the pairing isn’t as great as everyone else perceives it to be, again that’s my own opinion. I honestly think the best pairing for it is NaTi.

Thank you so much for this. In this photo it looks really green. I am just about to order the forrest green leather case and was looking at a band (have a £100 gift card burning a hole in my pocket) and they look like they could be a decent match

No problem. Keep in mind this was taken outdoors in very bright sunlight. It certainly isn't a light hue but far from forrest dark.

lol, fine you convinced me. Just picked up a NaTi on ebay. Gave my ss7 to a family member when I got an Ultra but sometimes I miss that nice sleek look. Figured I give the titanium model a try since they don't make them anymore

Ended up going for the midnight sport loop in the end. Really like the trail loop which came with my ultra so fancied something a little darker.

Ordered my midnight braided solo loop.

I have it in the regular solo loop, which contrasts well with my SS case.

I’ll share a photo when it arrives tomorrow.

Midnight BSL is nice. I do prefer Charcoal though

I watched (no pun intended) The Juan & Only’s review of the latest BSL, and he showed the difference between charcoal & midnight.

I actually prefer midnight.

But that’s the beauty of this device: The diverse combinations that we can come up with.

I have the midnight Apple wallet (card holder) too, and it’s such a nice colour. It’s a really deep navy, and looks different when in different environments.

Wishing you well, mate.

Haha and I’m the other way around I prefer Charcoal because it’s a deeper more saturated super dark blue that leans even closer to black. Midnight looks like a faded version of charcoal. They’re both very nice of course!
