    So, yesterday I was trying to rush and place my order before delivery dates started to slip that I picked a band color I’m now not too crazy about. Do you all know if we are able to exchange the Apple Watch band only without having to return the Apple Watch?

    Best Bands for SSG?

    I’m trying to figure out which bands will look nice with the stainless steel gold. A lot of the bands available still only have stainless steel and black lugs which makes me uncertain if it would pair well with gold. The only colors I’m sure about are the horizon blue and red sports band from...

    Stuck in Europe with "American" supposedly factory-unlocked iPhone..different LTE bands??

    I thought I was buying a factory-unlocked iPhone for a reason: To use it on different carriers around the world utilizing each country's LTE bands. Apple brags each year "wow, and this year, we've added even more LTE bands..." According to one Vodafone shop employee in Germany, there are three...

    Saddle Brown CB Falling Apart

    I've had the Saddle Brown Classic buckle since it was introduced and it quickly became my favourite watch strap. But recently it has just started falling apart. Leather is splitting and literally falling apart. I wouldn't say I'm overly rough on it, just normal everyday use. I have a sport...

    Watch Band for Typing on MBP

    Well, I'm a new Apple Watch wearer. In general, it's been a positive move. However, typing on my MBP has become painful at times since the sport band's "tuck point" is right where my wrist rests on the MBP. Any recommendations for a strap that would be smooth at that point? I'm also considering...
