Looks orangy gold to me but I like it. The quality of it is pretty good considering the price I paid for it.

Edit : After taking a closer look, the color of the buckle is rose gold.

What's the website?
Click to expand...

Here it is : http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?spm=a1z5f.7632060.0.0&id=44968624248

BUT! It's all in chinese so it's gonna be a challenge to communicate with the seller unless you can read. I couldn't read so I engaged an agency to help me buy and ship it to me for a fee of $6.

Cool!

Do you think you could make and include a second piece that just covers the opening for the other strap - you know, so it's not left open, and also makes the Watch a better feel in your hand as one smooth piece?

One thing to remember is that the AW depends on being on your wrist. if you used it as a pocketwatch, every time you turned it on, it'd need a passcode, and every time you shift position in your hand, it'll turn back off. Using the AW not-on-my-wrist was always really frustrating.

Unless Apple enables "Pocketwatch Mode", this is going to be more annoying than cool.

Well you could turn off the passcode if you don't want to use Apple Pay. Even so, I personally don't think the Apple Watch is suited to handheld use at all.

Yes. Sure. We are working on it. That one is just a first try.

We want to try two variants for the second peace: ether like you said, just covering the adapter hole. Or using the extra space to put some more design there.

I'm glad you like it!:D

If I am going to reach for the watch that's in my pocket, why not just grab my phone???

Pocket smart watch...pointless.

I got this. Yes it comes with the adaptor. The band it comes with is crap - too skinny and made me itch.
After 3 days now the adaptor mechanism still kicking.

Thanks to you and ukchris

I've gone ahead and ordered it only for the adaptor, I've got some decent bands lying about the house. Arrives next week.

I've just bought myself one of these third party Milanese loops..

They've got them in rose gold and champagne too! Think they'd look good with a gold plated watch!

It'll take a couple of weeks to arrive mind
