Series 6 owner & been in 2 minds whether to take the plunge. Looked on app yesterday morning & local store had 45mm Midnight Aluminium Nike edition in stock. Collected by 16:00 & set up by 17:00. Love the larger screen & certainly noticeable. Pleased I took the plunge until series 8 next year. Love the simplicity & moodiness of the black sport band with it.

I must admit I am impressed with both the Starlight & Midnight this year. IMO looks more premium than the Silver and Space Grey.

How did you get all the numbers in the clock on that watch face to be standard size and not half of them bold, depending on the time?

Couldn’t agree more. I love the fact it’s darker than the space grey. Always gone for the black, space grey & whatever they’ve called it & have to say that in my opinion they have got the dark aluminium colour spot on this year.

Nice! thanks to daylight savings starting here, games start at crazy times now, we're playing man united at 2:30am Monday. 🤦‍♂️😂
Lol the best part of the Sunday 4:30pm in the UK is that I can make the Sunday roast whilst watching the football and my other half doesnt bother me. :)

I can see you totally doing them on Sunday - they are really quite poor this year IMO.

To get back on topic, I haven't seen any Premier League players sporting any Apple Watches, though Phil Neville did when he was Manager of the Women's England team

I have no idea m8. I just selected the rounded option & voila. Maybe that’s the reason. Rounded & not squared.

Just noticed they revert to standard size when screen dims. Bold when wrist raised. Is that what you mean ?

Mate I need to start saving for my car mods. 🤦‍♂️ these watch bands add up 💰💰💰 my cold air intake, headers, high flow cats and tune ain't going to pay for itself. 😕😂 already broke thinking about it.
Ah. I remember those days. Now I don’t have anything to mod besides aesthetics.

But it wouldn’t have been that bad if you were on the fake band-wagon like I have this entire time. Just saying lol

Was your photo with the AOD then? I think I see that now when it’s on AOD vs raising my wrist to full brightness/regular watch face screen if that makes sense.

Edit: Too bad we can’t make that face all standard size numbers when wrist is raised.

Absolutely. AOD set for me. Think you’ve hit that nail on that head.

Sunday roast 😋

Hope you’re right, it’s normally a tight, boring contest between us and United.

Can see it being 0-0 or 0-1.

Don’t mention that name on here please, can’t stand him with a passion lol.

The way apple products are selling these days, they don’t even need the extra marketing lol.

Not a bad thing really, you’ve got reliability, no fuel cost, don’t even have to think about servicing, no sudden urge to drop crazy money on mods lol. 🤦‍♂️

😐

I’m a sucker for the apple store app, it’s so easy to blow money there, the app looks awesome as well lol. 🤦‍♂️

Hey mate, good news, apple care + is $99 AUD 😁👌

Got the stupid thing activated FINALLY!!!

Had to do it via the apple support app.
Told ya to wait and it’s automatically update.

The dates on Apple’s systems are not always in sync with each other. My 7 day free AC+ ends on 25 Oct in the watch app but 26 Oct in the Apple support app.

It didn’t automatically update, had to try 3 times before it worked, first time couldn’t connect, second time my coverage expired in 2020 apparently 🙄🤦‍♂️😂 3rd time was the charm. 🤦‍♂️

It’s nice that apple care + is getting cheaper, it’s $30 cheaper for iPhone and Apple Watch. 👌

There’s no option for theft and loss coverage right?

Yes I love the colour! But not sure if it’s one size too small. I get indents on my wrist after wearing it for a few hours and my wrist gets sweaty after the gym wearing it haha
If it’s leaving indents on your wrist it’s definitely too small, had the same problem last year.

Come on mate, you were at the gym lol.

It would be a shame sending that watch band back, it was made for the silver SS Watch 👌

TITANIUM APPLE WATCH WITH MILANESE STEEL BAND IS HERE!!!

My new precious titanium ⌚️ is finally here! 😈 It is so premium and exclusive. It feels very expensive. I really can’t stress this enough. It is hard to explain. You have to experience it yourself.

I know I’m late… I’m sorry if it was a little delayed… Yes, it was a little delayed. However, I did everything I could under my power to have my watch as soon as possible. Rest assured the Apple Watch ⌚️ was promised a delivery date of October 26th. However, it has finally arrived today. I do want to thank all of you for sticking around here and especially for all the people who waited with me with the Apple Watch. I know who you are. Enjoy the pictures :)

If you are still waiting for your Apple Watch to arrive. Hang in there. As days are passing by, it will be here soon. You will be amazed. Good luck and safe travels 🙏
Looks great! I have a SB ti Series 6 but thinking of ordering a series 7.
Is that the natural titanium with the graphite or the standard silver Milanese loop?

Cheers!
