Space Grey tends to be ok, since they are anodized. I have one that’s two years old from a Chinese Amazon supplier that still looks good.

Another good suggestion for a nice band cheap: check places like TJMaxx, Marshall’s, Winners, etc. I found a Monowear stainless steel dress band, which retails over $100 for $26 CDN last fall. Definitely a step up from the generic bootlegs.

I get dragged to TJM fairly often, what section are they usually in? That little electronic area over by the registers?

Either there or in Men’s Accessories. I found mine in the accessory section, but I have seen other bands in the electronics at times.

Still, this is the best watch and a good Wikipedia app

Works without phone, and finds nearby POI too if you’re not searching...

I thought the Watch automatically jump on WiFi if the phone wasn’t around, but I was noodling around in the Watch’s settings app and found that no WiFi network was selected. Once I tapped one and entered my password via finger drawing, it now joins wifi by itself and says it’ll work without the phone nearby.

You may want to check the Watch’s settings app and make sure you have a network selecting just in case.

I am going to see if it is possible for him to make a Discord rich notifications reply app because I’m sick of having to grab a phone or something and it would be very handy make it how slack does it.

Independent of the phone ideally but their API and stuff is developer / user hostile. :(

That’s true, but he failed to say what pub quiz cheaters are worse than. If they are worse than blowjobs, they could still be good. If they are worse than being stabbed with a rusty fireplace poker, that’s pretty bad.

Hey yo when you are doing a workout what does it mean when the active calories is in red? I haven’t been able to figure out why it does that.

Been wondering that too, and googling says you can cycle through the metrics using the crown and they’ll highlight accordingly.

II feel so silly, but I honestly didn’t know that you could change the orientation of your crown without changing wrists. To be fair, you couldn’t when I got my Series 2. This is going to make life a lot less annoying!

Are there any good milanese loop knockoffs? A lot on Amazon seem to be too cheap to be any good. I'd happily pay in the $30-50 range for something decent, but everything seems to be around $15 range (which is fine by me if there actually are any good)
I’m not sure but the straight knockoffs (with the same design as Apple's) don't seem to be common anymore on Amazon. Plenty of copies of other bands but not the Milanese for whatever reason.

Go to AliExpress, buy from a seller offering ePacket shipping. Plenty of Milanese loops on there these days.

Same thing going on there...I think. Looks like most of the listings just crop out showing the watch connection parts completely. Most of the ones that do show it are using different designs like the ones all over Amazon now.

(Talking about knockoffs of Apple's specific design here, not just Milanese loops for Apple Watch in general)
