Looks great! Ordered the same along with the black. Tired of sport bands with the Natural Ti.
Yeah I wish the brown was a little darker, but I think it'll develop a patina like the brown leather case.. I just hope it'll be even
Can always throw a leather conditioner on it. I did that in the past with some leather phone cases and it worked well. Apply, let it sit, wipe excess and let it dry.
I like it. I have the black and the brown is on the way. I've never worn the leather loop with the short end at top. I like to wrap the band towards the back so I can't see it overlapping with the band. Maybe I'm just weird.
I love this. Ordered one myself but comes later than my TI (on it’s way, after two days of order instead of 4 weeks!).
I will rock it with the forest green or Black leather loop until then.
edit: I just realized I got the old brown as well. Maybe that looks great also.
still find it a little sad that I cannot use al my leather buckles With the TI. Looks really bad the SS links with TI if you ask me.
I'm not sure how I feel about it either. There's something about that shade of brown that is throwing me off but it doesn't look bad. I ended up ordering the black leather loop because it's safe.
This brown leather loop gives me mixed feelings.
With Halloween around the corner I thought I’d try the SBTi with the Hermes sport band. Liking it!
That looks really sharp. I like the Orange with the natural Ti as well.
With my past brown leather loop, I found that the oils from your hands will actually give it a nice patina the more you wear it over the course of time. Leather conditioners will likely darken it quite a bit, Also, I would make sure what type of leather conditioner you’re using specifically.
Any chance a few people with the SBTi can post a few pictures comparing inside and outside lighting? I’m on the fence about a SSSB and SBTi. I am afraid the SBTi will look too light in outdoors (not my style). I like how the SSSB is consistently black but am more of a fan to the matte finish of the SBTi
I kinda think its silly paying for the extra sports band that Im not using so I contacted apple and asked about swapping the band. 4 weeks later and they are still confused about that process.
So they suggested I return the perfectly good 44mm SB Ti with that band and re-order the new one with the black leather loop.
Funny thing is
The black leather loop is overnight now in Australia
The SB Ti with any band except leather is available for pick up immediately from Apple Store
The combo is shipping early December?!?
So this week my Apple Watch combo goes back to Apple. And I've placed an order for the new combo and I will have to try daily to see if the stores get any of that particular combo in...
And it comes down to chance and timing...
No one I know personally has upgraded to S5 yet there's a shortage?!?

Why did you not sell the sport band and buy the one you wanted separately from the Apple Store?
I did earlier, this is about as light as it will get in direct bright sunlight. Probably not for you if you are looking for pure matte black. I felt similarly but it’s really grown on me. Two pics below showing the color range based on lighting.
I think this looks fantastic. I am on the fence about ordering this band for my S5SS. My worry is that it will patina over time which I don't want. I love the way the band looks out of the box.
This is confusing. Titanium drills SS&MS why do you think it is no 'stronger' than both of them. Tensil/shear/concussive??
Appreciate the thinking behind this just to clear this old head🥴👍🏻
Is anyone seeing any shipment movement on the Space Black Titanium? Usually Apple under promises and over delivers on their deliveries, but it's odd to me the shipment dates have not eased up. In the past I've ordered items with 4-6 weeks delivery and had shipment within a few weeks, which is what it appears is occurring with the Regular Titanium. I guess Space Black Titanium is the HOT material for the S5 this year.
Thanks for the tip! I've used the Leather Honey Leather Conditioner with great success on my phone cases to speed up the process. Works well on my boots, too.
Of the 10 Apple stores near me three of them have had both titanium watches in stock For a week now.
Come on apple ship already. Wednesday prepare for shipping, Thursday morning “shipping info received“ status at dhl and tracking. Saturday now and nothing happend
