Yeah it was wonderful at Manhattan Village too. Last time I tried to get a titanium model in store I had to do a lot of chatting, and they wanted to help me set it up and stuff. This time, just hand me the thing through the window, and off I go 😂
Got a tip for us?

I just sold my Series 5 Titanium for $470. Came out to just under $450 after fees. Sold in 1 day. Swappa.com. Not great but adequate and it sold fast which might mean I could have sold it for more.
Not bad. I’ve always been one where I don’t need top dollar for some products, especially if you want to sell it fast, I’m totally fine with taking a $40-$60 price cut for the sake of selling it, when everybody else needs to price theres at ‘max value‘.
For those in the Los Angeles area: They still show stock for 44mm SBTi at Cerritos, Victoria Gardens, and The Grove as of 08:10 PM PDT
Any chance you can post pics of the S6 SB Ti? Showing the finish? I hear it’s more brushed this year. The S5 was pretty matte only showing brushing in sunlight really

I sold my SBTi in June for $680 btw
How did you rationalize or what inspired you to get the Titanium AW? I’ve had 3 stainless steels and 1 aluminum and felt it was time for change. I also felt titanium was one of the classic watch materials besides gold and stainless steel, and saw the S6 as a good time to try out titanium before it’s too late. It’s unlikely, but Apple may discontinue titanium like they discontinued ceramic. It seems this year titanium is selling, but it seems last year when titanium first came out (I think S5 was the first titanium) there was more interest in the ceramics than titanium.
I don't notice it.
Though before AW I wore Garmin running watches, and Polar before that. AW ain't nothin' compared to a Fenix3.
It’s held up great. I wear my AW daily and for swimming, running, biking, yard work, etc. The only blemish is where the lower part of the sport loop connects (by far my favorite band, so I’m always wearing some variant). I think the plastic end of the band rubs there when I expand the loop to take it off.
I‘m just a sucker for Titanium, haha!! Since S0, I’ve never had an interest in any AW material other than SGAL. As soon as I saw they had Ti last year I knew I was in trouble, haha!! I went natural for S5 just for a change from SGAL. This year, I’m going with SBTi.
Aren't mechanical sports watches generally thicker? I tried on the super serious Rolex diver Sea Dweller and that's was very thick. Also tried on Milgauss and Submariner, but can't remember how thick or thin. It didn't make an impression on me, so I guess they were average. Sea Master is probably the same thickness as Submariner?
S0 was thinner, but the subsequent AW had a more dome shape underneath so while thicker it was more comfortable to wear. The dome elevated the AW off the wrist providing more airflow is my guess as to why it feels more comfortable to me.
I have an S3 in stainless steel that I love, but always thought was a *wee* bit too shiny. Almost pulled the trigger last year when titanium was offered, but didn't. When ceramic got discontinued this year, I decided I needed to get the titanium before it goes away.
I don't know what Seamaster you have, but the SMPc is 12.8mm thick, and the new Diver 300M is 13.7mm thick. Both of them are thicker than the Apple Watch.
For what it’s worth, I’ve worn watches pretty much forever and I’m a huge techy. For the at least the last decade I had been waiting for a smart watch, but the first few that came out years and years ago were way too big and bulky for me. The pebble and later the pebble steel were the only ones that I found acceptable size wise. They had a lot of other limitations and drawbacks, but at least the size wasn’t too bad. When Apple came out with their watch I couldn’t give them my money fast enough. I got my Series 0 on launch day and I’ve worn an Apple Watch every day since then. It was definitely thicker than I preferred. It was even thicker than the pebble steel I switched from, but technology wise it was way ahead of the pebble, so I went with it.
5 years and 5 apple watches later I still wish it was a bit thinner, but it doesn’t bother me at all anymore. I don’t really even think about it until a thread like this comes up. But if apple offered a thinner watch option I would be first in line to buy it.
TLDR: yes, you’ll get used to the thickness
When somebody comments on the thickness of the Apple Watch, I tell them, “Have you looked at the competition?” (That’s rhetorical by the way). The Apple Watch is actually one of the smaller smart watches available on the market, compared to Garmin and other android watches.
For me, the Apple Watch is impressively not that large and bulky compared to other smart watches, not when they keep improving/supplementing health technology and barely have increased the battery size over the last four years.
Semi-joking question here, but just in case - you *do* have the bands attached so the pin faces out, yes?
Beyond that, maybe try covering the back of the pin metal with some gaffer tape (or duct tape) to see if perhaps there's some sort of skin irritation from the metal?
🤣🤣 yes it’s on the right way .....however I’m still warring it but it’s turned off and the ‘odd’ pain is now easing .....Semi-joking question here, but just in case - you *do* have the bands attached so the pin faces out, yes?
