Thanks for the compliment. What strap are you wearing on your AW rn?
Do you ever use dark mode?Yes but nothing changed… Anyway,thanks
Do you use dark mode 24/7?
Lovely. I am eyeballing for a deal on it.
I am rocking my Nike again, and then after I workout today I will go by Bandbriete's suggestion for my sunset modern buckle.
Mate, there are also iPad and Mac versions of the app.
Try them?
They sync all your straps.
By the way, how many do you have? I know you buy a lot of non Apple straps, so maybe that’s why?
I have 20 Apple straps. And this isn’t a big problem! Just need to know why
I’m curious to know, also?I have 20 Apple straps. And this isn’t a big problem! Just need to know why
I love the feature, as I tend to wear the same straps.
This is getting me to enjoy my full collection.
I change my straps everyday so I enjoy my collection too

So, I find myself a bit lost here . . .
I've sampled a few, and I have formed Opinions. I have found that the Sprot Loop varieties feel best on-my-wrist.
I guess I've settled-upon what works for me.
I'm just not in-sync with the urge to rotate-through the vagaries of such selection!
I guess I mean: I can barely manage one strap...
Finally got rid of my Apple watch 7 to improve battery life so I got the ultra 2. 3 1/2 days for my usage. Very happy with it.
Wait didn’t you have a natural titanium ultra 2 when it first launched in 2023 September?
Yep, I certainly did. I returned it and kept my 7. Now have the black color.
Ohhh so you preferred a black Apple Watch Ultra right? Or you initially thought it would be a brick 🧱 on your wrist?
What size was the Apple Watch Series 7 you had?
I had the Apple Watch 7 size 45 mm. Ultra 2 (49 mm) wouldn’t be heavy or large at all. It was just that I’d decided against it at the time. Tossed the idea waiting for the ultra 3 or get the 2 in black. All the rumors of the 3 would be minor for me and my battery life on the 7 was draining down to where I had to put it on the battery charger almost twice a day.
When you upgraded from the Apple Watch Series 7 to the black Apple Watch Ultra 2, did you notice any changes in battery health?
One cool thing about the Ultra’s battery life is that you don’t have to worry about charging it every day. You can go 2-3 days without charging it, depending on whether you use cellular or work out a lot.
I really like the new band for the watch ultra 2 and for the last few days I’ve been getting over 3 1/2 days with my usage. at the moment, I don’t use cellular at all, but may go to it later. Then I’ll see what the mileage is for my battery.
Oh really? That’s fantastic!
👍
The bands you used with the Apple Watch Series 7 can be reused with the Apple Watch Ultra. The possibilities are endless! A 45mm/46mm strap can fit perfectly with an Apple Watch Ultra.
The black titanium ultra Milanese loop is the best of all ultra straps. Have you considered the trail loop? It’s also a great band for your Apple Watch Ultra!
Me too! I only use dark mode on my laptop. Windows 11 doesn’t have auto dark mode, which is a bummer. I may need to figure out how to do that systemwide.
Have you sorted out the Bandbriete issue on your iPhone 16PM and iPad Pro? Do you still see recommendations or random sets of straps that it picks from your collection?
If it picks the same band(s) as yesterday, you can ask Siri to pick a random color. If it’s a different color than the Bandbriete app suggested, grab a strap of your choice from that color category. For example, if Siri says crimson, I get my gym red/bright crimson Nike sport band. If Siri says green, I get lake green.
Today, I used Bandbriete’s random mix. I got the ink leather link.
That’s how I like to see these black watches match this colour combo of Nike sport loops! I seen a jet black S10 friend wear this same strap with his Apple Watch. It looks great on SBSS, too!
