Recent additions include the Fall 2024 Nike Blue/Red and Nike Grey/Blue sport loops on the bottom right of my collection. I just keep the straps in some small wood boxes, but want to find something better that's more fit for purpose :)

Mind if I share a F360 link to an Apple Watch band tray you can 3D print? I took it from inspiration of Apple Store band trays in the Apple Watch Studio.

You can easily see your bands on it as well as organizing your drawer or box.

Passed through the Apple store quickly today to see the 'new' plum. Here is a quick shot with Plum gen1 in apples absolutely horrible lighting. It was too crowded to take many pictures. Now that I know the connector isnt changing Ill resume collecting bands etc.

Has anyone bought the Light Blush band? It looks off-white in the photos and YouTube videos I’ve seen, but the word “blush” makes me think there must be a hint of pink….

I have it. It’s definitely more on the white side… when compared to my white band, it has a pink tint but alone it’s hard to see the pink. That being said, I still like it because it’s not a “shocking” white with my Slate Titanium watch. I will try to post pics in a bit.

Visited the Apple Store last Saturday but was kinda disappointed about the new titanium finish. In my opinion it looks the same as the previous stainless steel, so I wonder why they changed from steel to titanium. I like the previous brushed titanium finish on the S7 and was hoping to see some of that finish in the titanium S10. I‘m curious if the new titanium is as durable as the previous stainless steel. The titanium S7 was more vulnerable to scratches then the stainless steel ones.

They produced a long video event with a little of their rationale:

Just picked up a Series 10 with the Volt Splash band. It seems slightly less yellow than photos on Apple's website makes it out to be and the color around the holes seems greener to me. But I like it.

I just got this band too and I like it so much more in person than in photos. The band itself is more bright/fluorescent in person. It photographs a kind of pale blah yellow but it’s really not!

I had seen that already of course 😉. I do hope though that the new titanium finish will prove to be just as scratch resistant as the previous stainless steel finish. Up till now Apple Watch history has proven otherwise unfortunately.
I don’t think any of the series watches have scratch resistance now. Maybe Jet Black will be contained to microabrasions but that era is over. 🫗

I agree. I wasn't sure about it when I first saw it online but went ahead and ordered it with the watch. I half expected to end up exchanging it when I picked it up in the store but I really liked it after I saw it in person.

Volt Splash was the first of the new bands I bought, partly because I love Nike Sports Bands (& Loops!), and it’s a nice new colour of that, and partly because a few weeks ago I got new Nike running shoes in Volt… View attachment 2425704
Barely Volt/Volt shirt and shoes are a great fit over here. Ordered these kicks after the keynote at 25% off and now they’re 50% 🤦‍♂️

Y’all just went to the Apple Store again one week after taking a last look at the S9. Still action packed on Sunday after launch day. Here’s a comparison of the gold titanium vs my gold stainless steel S6:

Modern buckle on 42mm S10 jet black. Looks like space black but at least new size change does not look like that the newest Apple Watch is turning into a brick 🧱…


IMG_3731.jpeg IMG_3730.jpeg

But the titanium Milanese loops, and the stainless steel updated ones ain’t bad at all. No magnets on the titanium ultra ones.
