All original.
I went into the Apple Store, but I’m not into purple, so left without it.
It’s amazing how Apple has this grip on us.

How often do you stop by the Apple Store? I usually do it once every 1-2 weeks. Only twenty minutes from home.
It’s not near to me, but I will always go in there when I visit Bromley.
It’s an addiction.
I usually snag Apple bands from Amazon or department stores, keeping away from those full Apple Store prices. Still, I hit up the Apple Store every week, holidays included. It's a habit I picked up last summer and plan to keep up this new year, even when traveling—Cupertino is a favorite with family up there and the Apple Park Visitor Center is my go-to for purchases. My Apple collection of souvenirs sits proudly with my NFL and NBA gear. I dream of getting into WWDC, stepping inside Apple Park, and beyond the Visitor Center tours. They don’t push out the next WWDC until the month of March, hopefully i can reserve a spot for the ticket lottery.
About the bands for my business trip, mate—hoping our company sends us somewhere lively so I can explore a new Apple Store near the venue. Heard there are some big ones nearby in town! Wishing you an awesome week!
What’s the color name of the flux watch face? I can’t seem to find that combination.
Thank you! Apple Park Visitor Center is one unique type of Apple Store- you can collect souvenirs in addition to your bands. There are tshirts, sometimes reusable bags, playing cards, and all sorts of things that you can buy and collect. Every iPhone release like with Apple Watch bands- the shirts and merchandise around. I collected three of the shirts there, and one of them from Apple Infinite Loop which was the former campus’s store from the 90s until it closed down last January in 2024. Definitely get some tix to SFO during the summer time and fly out… there are a plenty of places to check out in the Bay Area alongside Cupertino.
Today’s band: Lake Green Sport Band
I don’t remember right now - if it comes to mind I’ll let you know.

Just wondering if you use your watch for anything more than fashion shows?
The problem with most third-party straps is that they are a magnet for dust. Maybe Nomad are an exception because they are of high quality. But be careful with this £20 strapsStorm

Depends where you buy from, I've got some good 3rd party straps.
These look exactly the same, just without Nomad on the titanium part.
Not yet! He reduced the price to £8 but I still think ,because I’m not sure that will look good on watch Ultra 🤪
Ah, mine is a 42mm S10.
I don’t know if he does them in the bigger size?
For 8 quid, you can’t go wrong 👍🏼.
Really cool band. Wished they had it for 41mm. They are very high quality silicone bands and there are also other brands that create these kinds of bands, too.Storm

Anyone still has a leather loop?
Just looked at the Apple Store app, was going to order a modern buckle, but delivery is long.
Do you think they are/will phase the material used out?

I'm going to need some classes to learn about this new toy. Just realized this should be part of the sticky thread. This is my first post here. Perhaps it can be moved?
I changed my storage method, so that it is easier to see all of my straps.

I recommend you to use a storage box made for bands. If you have metal bands and they are thrown in the drawer like that, it can get scratched. Especially classic buckles and other stuff like FineWoven bands.
Here’s one that you can check out:

I only have the one metal strap, so should be good.
I just lined the box (it’s not a drawer) so that no ink can mark up the straps.
I keep buying straps, because my current ones have all been tucked away in two small cases. This new way, I can see all of my straps, which will lead to me wearing more of a selection.
