@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’s a great tip, thanks! I wouldn’t mind it as much if it was my lint and gunk I guess but used from someone else I was like no thanks 👋🏻😂 I do like the black ocean tho, still got my eye on it 👀

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.
Oh really? What size is your wrist? Mine is 170mm and I went with the medium which was right at the edge of the range between M and Large, but it fits great with plenty of room to spare.

One of my AirPods cases, which I recently purchased from TJX for $4/3 quid 💷, came with a convenient crevice cleaning tool. It features a picker blade with a ball end that safely removes debris from AirPods, USB-C ports, lightning connectors, and other tight ends. A fine brush is positioned below the picker blade to remove dust and debris from the earpiece speaker, iPhone speaker meshes, and AirPods meshes. The tool also has a cylindrical brush that slides into the other side, allowing you to remove dust from the corners of iPhone cases and the lenses on Pro models of iPhone.

Yea my sweatshirts and blankets ruin the ocean bands with lint like that. Here’s how it looks when it’s all cleaned:

Wow, that looks so clean! 🤩 amazing, nice job! I love the complication too — I think I’m gonna have to go get it right now 😍
I have an iPhone 15 Pro blue titanium. What iPhone do you have? I absolutely love portrait mode!

Yes, that user I mentioned is a very popular Apple Watch band collector. He’s @The Cockney Rebel who collected almost all the latest releases of solo loops and sport bands this spring. He’s a nice bloke who wears a 42mm Series 10 natural titanium Apple Watch, and recommended me that awesome app. His first Apple Watch was the stainless steel Apple Watch Series 8. If you’re new to Apple Watch, you can always ask any questions you may have!

My wrist measures 5.4 to 5.5 inches. I’m a size 2 to 3 in solo loops. In all trail loops, I have to pull them all the way. The small ones aren’t too bad but still have to pull it almost all the way. that’s why I stayed on the 40mm watches. The Apple Watch Ultra is a brick 🧱 on my wrist. I like the siren feature, but I’d rather keep my band collection and not restart it. Even though ultras last a long time, it would still be a clunker on my wrist.


It’s a tough call for me, theyre both so good 😩 the thing about the black one to me is it kinda of looks like the aluminum model… but I’ve never seen one in person so idk for sure…

Oh nice, that’s a killer price! I’ll have to shop around — I always love all of my gear to be super clean so that would make me very happy! Lol

You’re so nice, thank you!! 🥹 I’m sure I will have many questions… It’s been a couple of years since I’ve worn one, but I actually had the original apple watch back in the day, then the 5, 7, now the ultra 2… so now I start my new strap collection in this size 😅

Ah, I see… well the 40mm looks great on you so good choice! I was actually just watching a John Mayer interview about watches where he said he wishes everything would be 36mm… smaller is elegant for sure, but for a smart watch, I am enjoying have the extra screen real estate… my number one favorite thing about the ultra though is battery life! I did a 4 hour workout the other day streaming music the whole time and my older watches could never make it that long… so I’m enoying it for sure! 🍻
 
Btw, how do you have all your replies on one post? When I try to reply to multiple things, it does this weird thing where it shows the reply within the reply, like picture in picture or something… idk how to describe it… I guess I’ll figure it out though 😅
