Jet Black s10 with Black Leather Loop

Silver SS & polished natural titanium goes with anything.

I actually don’t like the colour black, but the strap is not a “jet” black.

I love midnight, and have various versions of it.

Get yourself the black sport band.
I have the black band and really like it. I also really like the Midnight watch.

Yep I have that as it came with it :)

I also have the Jet Black Sports from 2015...I can't tell the difference lol, so I should have got the JB with another band...
From what I understand, the original Black sports band (from Series 0-2) was Jet Black. The current Black Sports band which which Apple sell now is the same one that has been available from the Series 3 onwards - it is a lighter black - like a very dark grey or a matte black.

I have that band. I used to wear a space gray Apple Watch Series 1 which came with a truly black band. Glad I still have it.

tell me more about your Apple Watch collection… since you had the original one! I only had two so far.
S0 SS 38mm with black sport band, launch day delivery
S4 SS 40mm gold with gold Milanese loop, launch day delivery (and this was the point when I started wanting Apple to make a gold link bracelet!)
And finally this S10 Ti 42mm gold with gold link bracelet.

Since I’m always getting the SS/Ti model (and the sapphire crystal is a big part of that decision) and they’re pretty pricy I’m only upgrading once Apple drops OS support, so the new one is always a nice jump in performance and features.

Same case I kept my Apple Watch Series 1 for seven years, I upgrade only if the Apple Watch breaks down or loses watchOS compatibility. With my iPhones i do the same.

It’s a great band. I got one of EBay earlier this year but unfortunately, it started peeling
??? How would it deteriorate within a year? My Apple Watch Sport bands do not break down that early. Only my midnight blue one has some sort of corrosion on the pin so I don’t wear it as much, and also it is super shiny around. And I had to dismantle lugs off a cheaply made flower leather band after it ripped but I owned it a couple of years already.
 
The Kilim Single Tour is a great and comfortable deployment buckle band. If your Apple Watch series 10 is a 42 you can use the bands from your old Apple Watch Series 4 40mm, vice versa with a 46 and a 44. How are you liking it?
hi and thank you very much. My old Apple Watch four series is a 44 millimeter My new Apple Watch is a series 10 46 mm. I love this series watch, it’s very comfortable. I’m planning to use this while I work out At the sports club. that’s why I picked Killim Hermes watch band. It looks and feels awesome.
 
Ultra 2 with Apple's OG leather links, my favorite bands.

Ranking my preference of the real-life appearance of these colours from best to worst:
1. Baltic Blue - looks more impressive than on the photos and videos I've seen
2. Golden Brown - surprised by how well this looks, given a lot of comments I've read about people not liking it because it's orange
3. Midnight - looks nice, I like how it can appear black and dark blue depending on the lighting
4. Saddle Brown - thought this would be my favorite, but it ends up being my least favorite.

Of the colours I wanted to buy, I've only got Umber left, but can't find it in stock (in the EU).

Glad you like it.

Storm blue strap?
It is a denim color sport band. It comes with the series 10 silver.

Just bought. Simply stunning.

The ultra titanium Milanese loop for Apple Watch Ultra looks amazing on you. It is a tough looking piece and has a more secure clasp than the original Milanese loop.
Nice stand, does it have an integrated Apple Watch charger on it?
 
I ‘finally’ scored a Leather Link in the Californian Poppy colour on EBay! (It’s very dark here during the December days, so the band is even more orange on this photo than it will be in proper daylight, I think?)

it’s paired with my 42mm Jet Black series 10 🧡

Thank you very much! I could only agree with you about the more secure clasp: I find it more comfortable compared to the original ML. And it’s also lighter. A bit overpriced, maybe 😅

I heard that the old straps(44,45 mm) don't fit well on the 10 series. is this true?

They fit just fine. My wife has the 42mm 10, old 38-41 bands fit well, the difference is just a very slight gap between the inserted edge of the band and the edge of the band cutout in the casing, but it isn't noticeable unless you're very anal about it. I saw this discussed somewhere and only then looked more closely and saw the tiny gap, but it looks perfectly fine to me, non-issue.

I agree, I only have a 42mm S10 and I only have one sport band that is also 42mm. All my other bands are old ones and they fit fine.

You can maybe see it on my photo I posted earlier today :)
