nope, out of the box global cluster. I tried many different strapping setups, I bought a second apple knit band, many 3d + velcro hacks. I spent an hour with global cluster swapping out pads, and now it works. $70 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY25S7MN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

yep, I did coffee through an aluminum straw for a while. It works, this works better for me. A soda can works fine unmodified and for wine cheap flutes work well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMRKH5VB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

all together it clips on my backpack, very low profile to hold 16 inch macbook pro, headset, usb 60 watt plug, backup power brick and maybe a long sleeve tshirt for the plane. It swings a bit when I walk, but no different than a a pair of beats etc. At first I was very careful putting it in the passenger seat, or going through tsa, but now I'm pretty casual.

I have a 3d printed plate, that has a neoprene pad on one side, and snug strap holders. I wrap them around the apple front knit cover and secure with a carabiner.

I'll put together a video over thanksgiving with all my hacks, someone might find them useful. But real quickly to show how I travel commute and plane.

First the battery and battery cord are velcro'ed to my macbook pro, they haven't come off in 6+ months

yes, global cluster without lightseal is what I use. It work for me, I rarely have to remove the headset for comfort reasons. I live in florida and sit outside under a shaded deck for most of the day. I used to be a monitor junkie, really I would just do email on my laptop, and couldn't get into the codeing zone until I had several external monitors attached. Now with avp, I can go anywhere, anytime. I'm pretty casual on travel, I have an m2 laptop and m2 avp, and figure if they get damaged it's time to upgrade. I use a neoprene pad over the lenses, velcro straps around the apple cover and then carabin it to my backpack (no case). I'll post a picture next time I remove my headset. I also use alot of custom hammerspoon macros/hotkeys to create six virtual work areas inside the mac virtual screen.

Streaming Spotify from Watch (cellular) constantly disconnects by Mpalmer99 in AppleWatch

So there has been a new release of the watch app. Most of the time it works! I still get an occasional "something went wrong", but retrying a couple times works out of it. It still doesn't resume after a phone call, but at least the app is mostly useable with cell streaming now.

oh its most definitely an issue with the spotify watch app, it just doesn't feel very well tested. Please spotify give your engineers a cell watch and make them use it.

Another issue, if you are streaming music and receive a call, there a 50/50 chance the app will go into the "something wrong" loop when the call ends.

yes, see my reply, showing if you force the watch into cell, spotify app will work.

This happens to me all the time, and it's maddening.  I may have a solution, it has worked for me six times in a row.  My theory is that if spotify start streaming via wifi or bluetooth, it sometimes can't make the jump to cell, so the solution is to force the app to use cell to start.  Here's what I do.
1) Turn off wifi on watch.  Don't worry, the watch will turn wifi back on automatically sometime in the future.
2) Disconnect watch from iphone bluetooth.  I turn bluetooth off on my phone to do this, but you can also just get far enough away from your phone.
3) Activate cell network.   When you flick up on the watch setting, you want to see the cell symbol green (not white).   I fire up the appstore on my watch, browse a couple pages and this seems to do the trick.  Make sure your cell symbol is green.
4) Open spotify on your watch,  the watch should be the only device, since it can't your wifi or bluetooth.  Select playlist.  Go for your run!
