Hi, anyone who has the Leather Modern Buckle Aubergine? Does it look black indoors or under artificial light? In some photos, it's a nice plum color, but in others, it looks black. This is what happens to me with the Leather Link Dark Cherry.

It is darker than dark cherry , depending on lighting. Apologise that I don’t have that strap it’s quite hard to find it in my size.

Rifle Paper co. Third party silicone strap, blue garden party. Also has matching iPhone cases too!

It’s a matter of taste IMHO. I do believe that the Ocean bands are among the best bands from Apple. I would never buy 3rd party bands for my Watch. Everyone has different tastes 😉
Completely agree. I have a white, dark blue and black ocean band and they get absolutely the most amount of wrist time - just so versatile and looks amazing

How many of y’all like the orange ocean band? Yellow one? They stand out a lot.
Navi trail loop
Looks great! 👍

Today is unity rhythm sport loop. Took shots of it with the blood oxygen app on my watch for a magazine cover shot.

Hi there ! What Apple Watch and iPhone do you have? Thanks for the compliment!



YW and Oh don’t ask me this i could be here all day talking my apple history lol



Alright I’ll just keep it quick as best I can: so I’ve always been on Verizon w my family, cousins uncle etc. and so iPhone at first was AT/T for a while and I always knew I needed iPhone. Haha just the look is stunning the User Interface I was like that’s it, I need that. Then I’d see ppl with droid (not realizing then that Apple did the all screen touch first) and I would be like nah that droid stuff is ugly Apple is doing it right



So they eventually arrived on Verizon and ive had a few iPhones in my day and i must say they only get better. Ppl wax poetic about the old phones and they were great but they’re perfect now hah. I had my 8 plus for years and years and at the end the back internal boards were exposed no glass at all lmao



So upgraded to 12 pro but that was just eh…technically more screen but it was a slender screen unlike the 8 plus I just had. I shoulda got 12 pro max. Nevertheless, eventually got 14 pro max and only thing bad about it was the weight. Then 15 pro max I held in the store and that weight was truly heavenly. Like a feather from a. Dove or something ha



Or an angels wing!



Anyways, but waited it out and glad I did cuz now I have 16 pro max and it’s unbelievable. It’s not as light at 15 pro max unfortunately but it is noticeably from my last one 14 PM.

I really love the screen size is now bigger. Apple AI is cool imo. Ummm oh and I love how you can take spatial videos and pics now for Apple vision whenever that tech gets more

Portable and cheaper….





The watch at first got the 3 series small (lol) for real cheap back when like the 5 or 6 series was new then traded in my 3 (lol yes some shmuck gave me credit for my beat up old 3 I forget who I think amazon?) towards a series 7 large gps no cellular then traded that in on a good deal I found for a new series 9 large GPS silver. The silver goes great with this stainless steel no-frills band I found online and had for my 3 then bought again to fit my 7. I have def. gotten a few compliments. I love Apple Watch. Best fitness of my life. Hah

Each yr is new and improved stuff. My favorite upgrade from 3 to 7 was everything! lol that 3 was a struggle fest for real lmao it was new too not refurbished but Apple just killed it with their updates lol oh apple,,.you can do no wrong imo lmao

but especially I knew I needed AWLAYS ON DISPLAY in my life that’s main reason I traded in for the series 7. That’s the whole point of a watch. To see the time irregardless of the angle of the device! Say you’re holding bags in your hand etc and have to look from a funky angle….


I don’t know how ppl don’t need that. Ummm…but anyways I mostly keep it off when inside the apartment tho hah

But so then the upgrade from 7 to 9 included body temp sensing from the 8 and I really like that feature it’s even coming to AirPods Pro 3 according to rumors. It’s a definite assistance for possible upcoming illnesses or irregularities etc.

But the main reason I like watch 10 is because they introduced always on display but also now for the SECONDS hand and that’s crucial IMO. I always felt the always on display was missing the seconds hand. It’s always bugged me for real.

So That feature plus yourl can now finally listen to music/podcasts off the watch speaker itself not just AirPods. I would def wanna try running like that see how it goes so don’t have to have Bluetooth on. I’m a huge proponent of airplane mode also! I think everyone should use it more often. Both iPhone and Apple Watch.

I see why ppl love watch bands and it’s an addiction lol

I got a few but most are packed away as I’m moving again. So only now my silver one and my newer dark green alpine loop band and black solo loop and orange solo loop (I think specifically it’s the clementine color but not sure), only those ones are handy but I mostly use my forest green alpine loop anyways. It’s awesome. That and a black rubber case for the watch. I’m a simple guy. But i do appreciate like I said that stainless steel shiny look. At some point I want that mint color solo loop that’d go great with silver caseless or black rubber caseless!

I think maybe if I got the silver stainless steel cellular watch model that it would be TOO shiny for the type of stainless steel band I have that has an airbrushed quality to it and not that reflective silver type, ya know? Manynsilver bands i see if not all have that brushed look no reflective shiny look…

Anyways finally I guess, dark green is my favorite color (boston Celtics - we invented ballin and ball-sneakiz, baby!) so my favorite watch ever was the dark green from a few years back. Also the dark green iPhone 13 I think was last one in that shade? But past two phones for me have been white/silver

But if they were to do another forest green iPhone pro max I’d probably get that one. I’ve had a few different phone case brands by now but my most recents ones are an all black spigen no MagSafe, an all black wave (they’re from UK) no MagSafe and a peel case forest green no MagSafe.

Peel I recommend the most. It’s ultra thin but does offer some protection (dropped phone twice since I got it a couple Months ago). It’s also rather light so it hardly adds any bulk to my 16 pro max.

I see why ppl get a bunch of different cases and swap em out but this Peel case is so thin I’m not taking it off! Some ppl online have complained it stretches out and warps so I’m keeping it on haha

How about you what was your first iPhone or watch?

Didn’t you have a green Apple Watch Series 7 aluminum? Heard you liked green iPhones cos of Boston Celtics. I’m a GSW fan.

My first iPhone was an iPhone 5s, and I had an Apple Watch Series 1 both I space grey. Let’s talk more about it in PMs, mate. See you there!

Hmmm I’m curious. “Mate” is usually something British males say. Are you British? More to the point. Are you male? lol
