love my watch but

There are some things with notifications and so forth that I'm still figuring out. Is there a thread on here where people have trouble-shot some common issues?

Also, I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing a sort of "ghost" afterburn of the watch face on notifications or glances screen when there is no content... It is quite noticeable in dim light, clearly a burned-in image of the watch face. I want to know if this is a normal, uh, "feature" or possibly a defect that warrants a call to Apple? I love the Watch too much to give it up, but I might go in for a trade-in later if the stores actually get them and this is a bug.

But it could be I'm just nuts and I don't want this to turn into a freaking news story somewhere.
 
How are you all measuring your wrists, by the way? Take a sheet of paper, wrap it around your wrist, mark it (without squeezing your skin too much, if at all) and then use a metric ruler??

Yes this is one method.
You can also use a special measurement band which is normaly used to measure
Your body for clothing.
 
Just picked this baby up from the post office as I purchased off swappa. I'm loving it one hour into owning!!

Still loving my 42mm White Sport. Really goes perfect with all my clothes. Have a black sports band on order but thinking I may cancel...

Looks awesome!!

So happy with this! Finally it came yesterday!

Just now realizing the SS models come with a more cube-like box, and not the long submarine boxes that the Sports come in.

I have a question regarding the possible, *suggested* problem with using non-sport bands on the sport watch... the suggested problem being that the non-sports band will wear down the aluminum, essentially widening out the slot, making the subsequent use of *any* band a problem... which was discussed earlier this week. Well... in this photo I noticed that the band on the sport model has a "Stainless Steel Pin." Since this is the case, why would it be an issue to use a non-sports band on the sports watch??

That's referring to the pin that holds the two bands together at the bottom of the wrist.
 
Luckily my tattoo artist 12 years ago told me to not go past a certain point in the wrist. They saved me from the Tattoogate grief.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1430500106.753054.jpg

I used a tape measure (the kind you use for sewing ) - I'm surprised Apple didn't have some kind of a wrist size chart you could print out for measuring, similar to the watch size images.

Just use a piece of string or a shoe lace or something. Then measure that along a rule. You can even get one on your iPhone that you move along in increments.
 
Is it just your camera, or filter? Because on my Chronograph face, bright blue for the background color is not an option---just a very muted/faded blue.

Its more like a navy blue in reality. I used my iPhone 6 to take that picture, i wish the colour was more like this though.
 
i already posted a picture earlier, but i thought it looked kind of snazzy in the car earlier today so i snapped another. (it's a 42mm stainless.) the white is growing on me, although i might get a black band as well at some point to switch things up.

werewolf alert!!!
 
Finally got it delivered a little before noon - Used Apple Pay on it twice already
