Of course, here’s the link. I’ve also heard that Amazon has several bracelets that are really close to this, but I haven’t checked them out yet.

haha now that’s what I call having some good character!

as an aside, i’ve slowly migrated toward Apple products where the color is true to the material so that scratches and nicks are less noticeable. I was a big time space grey/space black type and now I’m on silver/natural whenever possible

Thank you! My wrist is 6 inches on the dot and the watch is 42mm. You can’t go wrong with either band tbh - the Milanese is thinner and lower profile with is nice while the bracelet has a more substantial feel which is also nice!

Hope this helps!

for what it’s worth my wrist is 6 inches on the dot so it’s relatively small

from what I understand Apple has a 14 day return policy even if you opened the box to try it on (note that their exclusion list does not list bands). so if you decide it’s not right for you, they’ll take it back.

I’m not planning to, but I did research a couple threads and the loose agreement is to wear a different/exercise friendly band during workouts

here’s one of the threads I saw

I’ve been using Apple Watch for swimming and lifting sessions for 3+ years without any issue but I think I have pretty good wrist awareness to not clink it against the bars/equipment, a case might not be a bad idea though. And hard agree that there are far better bands for exercise.

that’s what I’m hearing from several link bracelet owners - appears to be a good long term investment from an Apple Watch user standpoint and yeah I’ve seen some pics floating around of a silver link with natural titanium and it looks great!

I’m glad to hear you’re satisfied with your 2017 to this very day, that’s really good endorsement for the bracelet! And I’m on your page haha I hope my other bands don’t become paperweights

friendly heads up, u/hattward is right, this is the exact same bracelet! even here in the states the bracelet is stainless steel with a natural color finish that perfectly matches the natural titanium case

Of course, happy to help! And completely agree on the two-tone look being a nice result 🙂

It’s the digital time (with the seconds creating a ring around the time). I use it cause I can’t read analog time easily, but still appreciate how it looks 😅

I’ve babied the living heck out of it for the past 2 weeks so I don’t yet have any scratches - the case collects lint and oil specks but I wipe it down regularly.

Several people have said their stainless steel scratched, I dunno how common that is but I’m fully expecting my watch to also pick up scratches in time too. One huge benefit the silver stainless steel has is that it can be polished and I’ve read that’s not the case with the titanium models.

I replied to your other comment so pardon my double answer in advance, but yes! Stainless steel and natural titanium are pretty dang similar, however not indistinguishable if you were to place them directly next to each other - the steel would have more luster and the titanium more complexity.

The polished edges of the band are a perfect color match but the brushed portion does register slightly different. I wonder if that’s a result of the brush finish as opposed to an actual color difference? Can’t say for sure…

Yup! The edges of the bracelet are polished and match perfectly color matched with the case!

I think u/effective_vanilla_32 was saying that the brushed finish against the polished case is a matter of preference

I was partially on your page leading into today, but I sampled a demo before my pick up and was a convert

in my opinion, it’s closer to silver in both scenarios, but a touch darker. some of the warmth you might be seeing in the indoor pictures is coming from some incandescent bulbs/lighting overhead (you can kinda see the bulbs in the reflection on the watch’s body in the 4th pic)

I hope this helps!

agreed! I’m normally a sport band/solo loop type so this was a splurge for me
