I feel like the Ultra lugs must really be brutal on a thinner series watch no?
True. It’s definitely an out of the box pairing but intrigued on seeing it. Not sure if I’d do it though. Even Ultra bands paired with regular Series Watches look slightly off to me.
The new Lake Green Sports band. Like many of the sports bands, it appears blueish in daylight, and greener under warm interior lighting. The middle photo is Cactus (top), Lake Green (middle), Pine Green (bottom). It definitely compliments these well, and I'm pretty happy with it.
These are literally the exact shots I was waiting for to pull the trigger. On Graphite Stainless and compared to Cactus, one of my favorites. And Pine Green is a bonus. 🔥🔥🔥
🔥, Try it out on your series 10 as well! It will look even bolder!
Throwback Thursday!
I’ve been checking every day, hoping to get lucky and find the natural titanium link bracelet instead of ordering one online, seems like they realllly didn’t make many of them…..
I love that you broke this back out!!
Also great idea to try the Khaki on Jet Black!
😂 it was a past picture of my Apple Watch Series 1 with the pink sand sport loop. Now all the sport loops are on the Apple Watch Series 6 i primarily use. That time the series 1 screen did not separate from the aluminum case so I am grateful that I got a few pics from my archives for the throwback Thursdays.
🔥 the OG bands from the Apple Watch series 0-2 era.
They sent the steel iteration to Japan to be brushed by hand, I imagine these are even more involved than the silver steel one was.
Be patient, they surely can’t be much more popular than the sales dog that came before.
For sure, I believe we’ll see more of them next month in stores.
And that’s an interesting detail about the steel iteration, I wasn’t aware they were brushed by hand.
(5!) new face color options for the ultra! Only did indigo last year. And yes that’s a new “green” available right next to 2022 “green” (trail v alpine)

My Ultra2 has arrived with the Titanium Milanese band and that image looks correct BUT I find the buckle very difficult to fasten, has to be level and exactly positioned. Worst of all Apple bands I've had. Anyone else?What're we thinking on that titanium milanese? real or fake? doesnt look very apple like but if the rumor of titanium only cases holds true...

haha and to think just a few watches ago titanium was an upcharge!
Volt Splash nike sport band on starlight alum
Nike Volt Splash sport band S/M.
I was really bothered by the uncertainty around the different sizes of these bands, so I decided to get all three sizes for comparison—and I’m glad I did. It definitely satisfied my curiosity. The 40mm is indeed slightly smaller than the ‘new 42mm’ by about half a millimeter. As for the 46mm, we all know by now that it fits the older S0-3 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, and 49mm models. However, I’m not sure how the new 40mm and 42mm bands work with smaller watches, since I only own the larger models.

what timing, I just ordered this band for my Starlight series 9! What size is your watch? I have the 41mm so I ordered the 40 band.
Thanks for this, I was wondering. I tried a 42 band in my 41 watch, and didn’t like the little bit sticking out. But to me my 41 band in a 42 watch was ok, just slightly small. I wonder if the band now selling as 40 is the same as those that were sold up till now for the 41mm watch. For instance last year’s Pride rainbow sprinkle band is still sold only as a 41. Sadly I have no calipers to check my band.
S8 41mm here with S10 42mm band
Yep I guess this is where that half-millimeter difference is.
Probably a result of the new squarer design more than the size increase; the other way around, with a 38/40/41mm strap on the S10, there is a very small gap..but it's really not too noticeable.
