    After a chunky, thicker style mens band/case for Ultra Series

    Hey forum fam. I'm looking for a mens band / case that is on the thicker / chunkier side. I have relatively normal sized wrists, but prefer a thicker style. I've found Amband's range to be awesome, but they don't have stainless steel or anything for the Ultra series...

    Which Apple Watch would you buy given the discounts?

    Looking to buy an Apple Watch. Generally I wait til the new one is released, but it just doesn’t sound like the series 8 will have many updates and I was thinking I’d rather have the available discounts. Plus, my series 4 broke and I don’t want to wait the month+ to upgrade. I thought it would...

    iPhone 13 I’m thinking of upgrading from the X to 13 due to bad battery life, but I’m worried about that build quality won’t be the same.

    The battery life on my X is very disappointing. I’m often left with just 50% battery by the time I get to work. It gets very warm as well, so I’m thinking of upgrading to a 13. However, I’m worried about the build quality wont live up to my X. I absolutely love the stainless steel on my X. It’s...

    Hi gang, A public service announcement: I sadly dinged my 11 month old Apple Watch, did not buy AppleCare this time 😫 thinking I’ve never had to use it on my other SS ones - why pay even more than the hefty price? Sent it from the UK to the Apple EU service centre in the Cezch Republic and...

    iPhone 13 mini Do the iPhone & Case Magnets Attract Everyday Magnetic Items?

    I'm trying to decide if I should get a Magsafe case or not. I'm wondering if iPhone 13's magnets are specialized enough to not attract everyday magnetic items, or if it can stick to the fridge, stainless steel, various metals in the garage, attract paper clips, etc. What about the Magsafe...

    Other Anyone else want aluminium sides on the iPhone 13 Pro/Max?

    Firstly, aluminium is actually three times more expensive than steel, so it's ironic stainless steel is reserved for the premium models. Aluminium is also lighter, which as iPhones grow bigger and thicker would keep the weight down. Perhaps Apple feel the shiny stainless steel looks more...

    Used cellular SS S5 vs New GPS only aluminum S6? (don’t care for health features)

    As the title says, I’m on the market for an Apple Watch after years ago gave up on series 0 and going back to my mechanicals. I was thinking to get the cheapest I could since I only care about the ability to unlock my iPhone while wearing a mask on the next iOS 14.5 updates. But the AW3 older...

    Does the normal silver Milanese loop scratch the silver stainless steel watch?

    I’ve read about the graphite Milanese loop scratching things because of its DLC coating. I ordered the silver stainless steel Apple Watch 6 with the normal silver Milanese loop. Seeing the gloom and doom about the graphite Milanese loop has me concerned. Is this also an issue with the...

    Polish Apple Watch SS: Cape Cod vs Autosol

    I recently purchased a Series 2 stainless steel Apple Watch. I read lots online about remove scratches and gave Cape Cod a try. Using Cape Cod, it removed fine scratches and marks but nothing else. Autosol works on deeper scratches better, and it feels thicker, so it must be more coarse. So...

    S3 sports owner, downgraded to S2 Staineless steel and loving it!

    Well, I was always under the impression the latest updates are better, but Apple are proving me wrong. IOS14 has been a stinker so far (battery drain) and WatchOS7 wasn't that much of an upgrade from WatchOS6. I took the plunge and downgraded from an S3 LTE sports model to an S2 stainless steel...

    iPhone 12 Pro Anyone else undecided between Silver and Gold for iPhone 12 Pro?

    My heart says gold, but my brain says silver - anyone else feel the same? Why Silver? It is the ONLY Pro color to seemingly have a polished stainless steel without PVD coating - in my thinking, it means it will be easily polishable with Cape Cod polishing cloths, especially if I intend to have...

    Which scratches more easily and more visibly? Stainless steel gold or stainless steel silver?

    I can’t decide between the two if I purchase the Apple Watch series 6. I have a SS gold series 5 and so far it’s not showing any scratches. However, I am quite opting for the SS silver this time and I’ve never had one before, so I’m just wondering between the two which one scratches more easily...

    How do you keep the sport bands from getting stuck?

    Hey guys, So I recently bought an OEM Rose Red sport band from someone and I just love the color, but the band is quite difficult to put on and take off.
