Also whilst you shop Hermes listings, be on the lookout for low-resolution photos. Often those are scam listings with stolen photos.

Generally be suspicious of photos of Apple Watches that are weirdly low-resolution/fuzzy/full of jaggies. Sometimes you see them where you least expect them…
Especially photoshopped ones. 😧 now we have AI 🤖 generated photos of straps too!
 
How different is Sage compared to Lake Green? Trying to figure out whether to get the Sage or hunt down a Lake Green from some other retailer
 
I hear bad things about DHL from our overseas friends. Wait Apple is using them in the US?

They def need some strange partners to meet Cali demand, even FedEx for me this time lol
Well I had to escalate that because it still said “shipping label created “ but it hasn’t budged. I got my son’s band delivered next day and this one just remained stuck. Didn’t wanna wait till the weekend to get a replacement so I basically insisted the package is lost because it doesn’t take four business days to deliver. Replacement is already been ordered. So frustrating.

So you have an ultra 1? Welcome to Mac rumours friend.
Thank you! Great to be here! 😁 I actually got an ultra 2 recently, but picked up some of the older bands since they were cheaper and I liked the colors — I especially had to have the orange because it feels like a perfect match for the ultra. Also I have a new titanium loop coming tomorrow from Apple so that’s exciting. More pics to come! Cheers.

Thanks man it’s been fun so far for sure! It actually came with a very worn ocean band in orange which I was not a huge fan of… all those tiny holes were filled with all kinds of gunk when you looked up close and it looked like way too much work to clean so I just tossed it 😂

Natural Titanium Ultra 2 with Titanium Milanese Loop… first impressions are this definitely has a luxury feel to it… I measured it to be 20 grams heavier than the Alpine Loop, but the weight is well balanced and still feels lightweight. I plan on not babying this thing but working with it and putting it through its paces, so we’ll see how it holds up!

@Bandoholic told me he used a camera cleaning tool to brush off nasty stuff off the ocean band holes. My third party one was a lint magnet too it’s a light pink colour one.

That natural titanium AWU2 strap looks great on your watch. What size did you get? I have to pull it almost all the way in the small size.

I got a leather link Ink with the I Am complication on the California face. My Apple Watch Series 10 pal, @The Cockney Rebel , recommended the app to me.
