Oh, I picked up the Natural Ti with the Natural Milanese Loop. My previous one was a Silver Aluminum AW 5.
Got a tip for us?

A classic combo and excellent choice! Also great upgrade from Series 5 to Series 10 and Aluminum to Titanium!
By any chance do you know what the grayish rectangular ring on the back of the slate titanium is. It separates the front part of the case with the back part of the watch? I’ve seen it with the natural and gold titanium as well. But the jet black doesn’t seem to have it. It’s all one piece to the back.
Jet Black is full body without that line “separator” to give it a special aesthetic look. I think Apple took a lot of Pride in this Jet Black version especially it being a come back that was very beloved in iPhone 7.
Also Jet Black is a deep true black that a “separator” doesn’t really make sense with it. As it would be a true black on black which would cancel each other out unless it would be a different type of material to create differential. All of that just doesn’t make sense design wise.
Natural, Gold and Slate Titanium having that line separator is as well pure aesthetics.
To me they both look nice in their own way.

I thought I read that the ring on the back had something to do with the antennas. Do we know that the jet black cellular version doesn’t have the ring on the back?
Yes, they are “antenna lines“ to let wireless signals pass. We need those now because the back is now metal, too (it was ceramic before). And the jet black needs to have them as well, they‘re probably just less visible.
Felt like going Rastafari ✌🏼.
Peace to all.
Just can’t take this new Ultra Milanese off. Easily my favourite Apple band yet. Comfortable and so light.
I agree it’s my favorite band as well for sure!
It's a shade darker than I thought it would be, but in my opinion, that's a good thing. I didn't really want something super bright. But I think it compliments the watch nicely. I do like very much it but for daily wear, I usually go with my old white Sport Band.
Jet Black with Dark Cherry Leather Link looks so good! Congrats! 😊
Actually what others are saying is correct they are antenna lines. Here is the Jet Black with cellular.
Well that’s a nice added touch of detail. It’s those things where it’s there for a reason. Who would have thought.
Nike Green/Grey Sport Loop on Slate Titanium
Are you talking about my post? Just making sure, don’t want to assume. If so, that’s weird I’m seeing both photos show up on my end.
I can see both. This band you shared looks great on Apple Watch Ultra in black titanium SS well- a tough looking band!
Gray glitter leather band- this classic buckle replica band looks better on Graphite, Slate or Jet Black!
The Jet Black color is stunning, but the Ion-X glass is weaker than sapphire crystal. Also, the DLC coating on the Space Black stainless steel from the original Apple Watch to the Series 5 and Hermes is tougher than the anodized jet black finish. Did you return your AW10 due to these statements?
