rage-saq posted:The cheapish pandawell leather strap on amazon is actually decent. The lugs that were included are pretty much a flawless fit and match the finish of the stainless perfectly, and while the leather band is on the cheap side, its perfectly functional. I find it quite a bit more comfortable than the sport band for regular wear, but given my preference for leather straps thats not a surprise. Just ordered one of these, along with the HiRise stand. Will have 'em Tuesday, cannot wait. Though, to be honest, I like the Sport band a lot better than I expected to.

EVGA Longoria posted:Just ordered one of these, along with the HiRise stand. Will have 'em Tuesday, cannot wait. The sport band is ok. Its a little on the chunky side, which isn't a problem, but it really molds and sticks to your body and the rubbery texture leaves a little weird feeling on your arm after you take it off. I'm keeping mine around for any events where the sport band is appropriate but I'll be using a leather band for the rest of the time. Because I can't help it I ordered this deployant strap off amazon and I'll see how the 23mm fits on the lugs. If I measure out the existing band that I got its just a few hairs under 24mm, so a 24mm might fit better but I can't find one in the above style.

Whirlwind Jones posted:It's not really that different than having your most used apps on the home page of your phone. The only thing I truly dislike about the home screen on the watch is the app icons are too close together. I'm mostly used to it at this point, but I've definitely been slightly off a few times and opened the wrong app.

Did this include any kind of swappable option for those of us who ordered the aluminum space gray?

I've seen plenty of pictures out there people have taken of lugs that are too big/small/wrong finish/etc, this is was the first one I saw that had consistent recommendations for 'factory' fit.

Space Racist posted:Spigen makes an aluminum one that goes for $20 on Amazon. Haven't tried it myself it looks pretty decent. I can confirm it's pretty decent/I have no complaints. Having a stand in general is actually really worth it, though. After using a stand exclusively for a few weeks, I forgot how comparably awkward the charger was when it's loose.

Woke up to an Amex charge from Apple this morning, finally. I kind of feel like I am going to wind up being a little let down because I have hyped this thing up in my head for so long.

Black 42mm sport with black band, ordered roughly an hour after they went on sale. Originally my ship date was just "June" then changed to May 29-June 11 whenever they updated things a month or so ago. I have it being shipped to work, and I fly home on the 29th for my days off, so knowing my luck it'll probably show up on the 30th when I'm not here.

I feel like I should know more culturally specific epithets now that we live in a global village. Calling them a Paki seems effective in the three British commonwealth countries I've lived in. Same goes for calling a Kiwi an Aussie or a Canadian a Yank. We hate the tribe we're closest to. I'm married to a half Indian whose family is from Kenya, that gets tricky.

Just cover the screen with a palm slap and then tap the face to make the screen turn on. It's faster than pressing the crown once and works every time. Try it and love it. This too, works like a champ. Also Siri is the #1 interaction mode, who touches their watch. Got the 42 Black SS Link Friday and the sport band tugs arm hair much worse than the link. Also got the leather standard buckle planning to return because of mismatched lugs but drat the case is sexy and the leather band itself actually looks super hawt.

MarcusSA posted:I haven't noticed any hair tugging with the sport band. Its possibly the most comfortable band I've worn in a long time. Just painful to put on really: putting the sport band on once is worse than four days of link bracelet. I'm using the snap then slide method of attaching the sport band, for snug fit, natch. I think I pulled 5 links out to get a good fit, and frankly popping the fit links temporarily makes changing the band a breeze, otherwise sliding the lug out feels like it needs lube.

Cause that strap is dope; leather is so super primo my "real" watch buddy was like "this is super nice leather". Actually he had positive comments about all the straps, sport was soft and smooth, link was impressive for re-sizing, slimness, and the pure mechanics of it.

The bands are real leather. It's leather that has been sliced thin as hell and then formed by machine, though - as I suspect handmade straps would never meet the tolerances required to stuff tiny magnets into each segment in a timely manner.

The classic leather band is machine formed and the parts of the outer band is some kind of layer/coating that wears off as some users have already reported. For $150 it is not even remotely close to a good value, especially considering its practically fake leather. You can do a lot better with some watch lug adapters and a small amount of money spent on a quality off the shelf leather band, and there are plenty of crazy options out there for custom/exotic leathers that will come in at comparable costs. Been on vacation with my family the past few days and the watch has come in handy. 2 best uses so far (over straight iphone experience) 1: driving around an unfamiliar town to new destinations using apple map navigation integration. 2: dark sky notifying about upcoming rain

Charging on a stand is a lot nicer than just willy-nilly, and it's reminding me I want a HiRise for my phone too.
