A modern interpretation of a design developed in Milan at the end of the 19th century. Woven on specialized Italian machines, the smooth stainless steel mesh wraps fluidly around your wrist. And because it’s fully magnetic, the Milanese Loop is infinitely adjustable, ensuring a perfect fit.

they really should do a docking station made out of matching aluminum. or at least make more skus and have these adapters available in matching aluminum finishes.

but a docking station would make a lot of sense imo.

No one talks about this.
can you trade out the bands for the sport watch or are you forced into the plastic ones if you buy the economy version of the watch? it looks on the site like you cant replace the apple watch sport bands with the others.

Apple (R) Band For Sure (tm) helps ensure only Apple(C) brand bands can be used
