So strange my AW7H took literally 5 mins, my 'normal' Space Black S10 took about 30 mins, but my AWU3H took over 1 ½ hours. All over Wifi as I was wearing a non updating watch
Got a tip for us?

yeah it took hours to update on AWU3 and I had to update iPhone as well
It’s the one glaring issue that Apple needs to rethink with the Apple Watch. ⌚️
Would love to understand the differences in time and how Apple runs the update packages and understand the what the bottlenecks are.

It is definitely quicker if you turn off bluetooth and force Wifi, but the fact that I had 3 different watches and completely different updates times proves it is so random! The AW7 is the oldest and updated the quickest!
The orange en mer is so damn 🔥

I am so glad I got my Orange with my HU3 - I never thought they would drop it so quickly and thought it was going to be a staple.

I can confirm this - which raises the question why small wristed men always have to drill additional holes at Hermès...
I find no issues with en mer as a small wrister. But the scub h on the other hand….
I also ended up getting the 42mm orange sport band from Korea. Even though it doesn’t perfectly fit the HU3 it’s still secure and far better fitting than the 44mm M/L band

I‘m in the same boat and really happy I got the HU3 with the orange En Mer. A keeper for sure!

Hermes bands don't have enough holes coming from the factory. I wear my Hermes bands on the last or second to last hole, while my older Apple leather bands have at least a few more holes beyond that. Fortunately I don't need to add extra holes to my Hermes bands, but it is a phenomenon that I've noticed.
Agreed. I did need to add extra holes for one of the leather straps. Some stores have in-store hole punching, others have to farm it out.

That’s why I bought 2 of them!
Interesting that the date code for the Clou Medor Rock was K, which implies 2025.
Out running errands and stopped by Apple Tysons to complete the spring Scuba’H collection.
I had mixed feelings on Neon Bleu color from online pics, but it’s so vibrantly gorgeous in person
Ugh the blue is so gorgeous!!!! I wish they would come out with something in that color for those of us with small wrists.
I would think it would be too “colourful” ifs it anything like the orange neon released.
Black would likely be safest bet

In this day and age I don’t think there are hard fast rules. I personally love the the neon blue and orange and wear them regardless of where I am as long as they match my clothes. Watches and watch bands are now “statement pieces” and to me if anything they show you don’t “go with the flow” and aren’t afraid to be bold.
Decided to bust out my rarest band in celebration of world earth day.
Haven’t worn it in a few years as it was developing very fine cracks, which I assume is expected for being 10 years old.
Anyone else have older bands that are aging?

What a beautiful band.
Leather is a natural product, which is drying in time and develops cracks. You might want to carefully use some special leather grease to add the lost "greasing". I do it that way with my 8 year old Barenia leather strap. This adds some patina and avoids further cracks.
Hello can anyone explain chargerstore on eBay to me? Is it legit? Authentic? I am little skeptical of some of the sellers as they don’t appear to answer questions and sometimes the descriptions are confusing to put it nicely.
Thanks
Thanks
