Matt Zerella posted:One week with this "OEM" stainless link bracelet and loving it so far. Quality is very good, and it hasn't unclasped once. I went with he regular stainless, not the black so I can't speak to the quality of the paint on that one. The stainless ones are good enough. I had a top4cus SS link band for my SS S0 and was fine with it, but I was dissatisfied with the SBSS for my s2. The paint never looked right and the tiny flaws seemed to be magnified by it. Eventually I got an authentic SBSS link band for 180 off eBay and it’s been on my wrist for like a year, totally worth it. Not $450 worth it though. The real SBSS link band has the same impervious, silky tDLC finish the watch does, and the actual Apple link band has better fit and tolerances in the links and clasp. Everything snaps together solidly and moves effortlessly.

Xenomorph posted:So I scratched my sapphire display already. Can these be buffed out? Give it some time, it might not be a scratch. A lot of people have thought they've scratched their sapphire when it turned out to be material transfer from something the sapphire scratched. It can wear off or be removed.

Duckman2008 posted:I used my watch without my phone for 3 days (so LTE only) and got home with 40% left each day. Granted, I honestly didn’t use it much, just for a bit of messaging and such, no Apple Music, but it did decently well. You must have been hitting a lot of WiFi. I did a no-WiFi test on my SBSS S3 and saw my watch eat 10% an hour without really doing anything.

It’s not pictured. The picture he showed was to highlight how loving good the real space black is, it really is amazing. I have a real SBSS link band (eBay deal) and can confirm it makes the knockoffs look like utter poo poo, no comparison by miles. The fit and finish is also a lot better, the knockoffs aren’t BAD but the real thing really shows off how Apple is one of the greatest in the world with precision metal design, polishing and now also at the tDLC coating.

RoboCop 3 posted:Last question before I make a purchase: any issues with the space black stainless steel finish? Is it any more prone to scratches or blemishes than the other SS case types? I know SS is heavier than aluminum, but I like the look better and the sapphire screen is nice, too. Much much less prone, the tDLC coating is actually harder than the sapphire screen. It’s the best Apple Watch you can get. It is also the same color as the sapphire screen, so it all just blends in and looks awesome.

AdmiralViscen posted:Is it expected that the black stainless will be more scratch proof than the other two colors? In terms of the body. Yes. The space black stainless has been around since s0 and is time tested for it’s indestructibility. My s3 looks brand new as does my s2. Like, if I cleaned it real quick and put the original plastic back on you would 100% not be able to tell it’s not brand new. Space black stainless is the best Apple Watch. Looks the best and is impervious to scratches. My s4 I ordered is also SBSS, I’ll never stray.

My 44m SBSS S4 just arrived, my SBSS link band from an S2 still matches up flawlessly in both color and form which is great since I guess they aren’t making it anymore. Apple isn’t joking about the 42 and 44 sizes being almost identical. Setting just the cases next to each other really shows how they are so close you might as well consider them the same, though the thinness of the S4 is notable. The bottom dome of the watch is much shorter so it feels like it’s a lot closer to your wrist too. As is no surprise to anyone the new screen is stunning and I’m still messing around with complications.

Some dumb segregation poo poo going on. The new Infographic Modular face, which is the new higher information density made-for-S4 face does not have a Messages complication. Wtf I just want to see if I have any messages and clip on it if I want to reply, this is like my 2nd most used feature. In order to use it I have to use the old modular face which doesn’t have the rich complications.

Bum the Sad posted:I wonder if the got rid of the link in anticipation of the AirPower since it can't lay flat... Then those stupid fuckers failed to engineer it. The slightly taller and thinner nature of the S4 made my link fit even better. Before I would wish for one link to go in they was slightly bigger than the others so I could get it to fit a little looser. The S4 is pure win. Except for the messages Rich Complications bullshit

I kept seeing reviewers saying the S4 is the iPhone 4S of the watches but I disagree. It’s the XS of watched with the 44 being the Max and the 40 being the regular. The edge to edge nature and very high speeds make this thing so effortless to use and it all just looks so loving good. I’m running my obligatory “run the watch from full charge until it dies” test I do with every new watch I get. Going off memory: My 42mm S0 My 42mm S2 SBSS got 2 days and 20 hours and was at like 4% battery life. My 42mm S3 SBSS LTE got 3 days and 8 hours and was at like 9% Let’s see what the 44mm S4 SBSS LTE gets.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:So I’m weak willed and switched from a 42mm S3 to a 40mm S4 while checking them out since they had 1 left in stock. The bigger display on a smaller frame is really loving awesome, the dumb rear end watch face with 8 complications is cool and everything is even faster compared to the already fast S3. Basically yeah, it opens a new line even if you say “transfer cellular” in the watch pairing. It’s easy to cancel with your carrier though, the backend infrastructure probably isn’t there yet like it is for mobile.

I think this is the version where everything has been figured out and they’ve been able to execute what they envisioned for the Watch all along. I’m glad I kept my S0 plastic box. The package for new SS watches is nice, I like the little foam sweater they made for it; but, the older style jewelry boxes were better.

Because for some reason Apple didn't make GLORIOUS RICH COMPLICATIONS for these mundane applications that were WORTHY OF FITTING ON THE GREATEST WATCH FACES KNOWN TO MAN. Like seriously I am still rocking regular modular because I use messages all the loving time and I am more than a little grumpy that I can't use it on infographic modular.

eames posted:Sizing question: I�m looking to buy my first Apple Watch and am pretty close to ordering a 40mm stainless blind because I really dislike the look of large watches, smart or not. My wrist is 180mm. Did anybody order the smaller one blind and actually hate it? The 44mm is not a big watch by modern standards. Watches are huge these days, the 44mm is pretty small in comparison, it’s extremely streamlined and smooth and has the appearance of being a much sleeker watch than normal watches in similar sizes. Go down to Best Buy or an Apple store and try one on, and keep in mind that your initial feelings will be that any watch of notable size is “big” but really it’s something you will get used to very quickly and realize the 44mm is a perfect size with how it is really able to use that stretched screen.

stirlo posted:If you want the watch protected from gym weights and other similar things; search amazon for “Apple Watch bicep” or armband… a friend uses this and apparently gets even better heart rate measurements than at their wrist. There’s even one that looks like a very long Nike strap from Tefeca that looks like it won’t get too gross. I use a chest strap w/my PC for doing my HRM + kcals on Beat Saber streams along with Apple watch for workout tracking and they are very very close. After 2 hours there is only a 2-3% discrepancy in kcals and generally when I glance at the heart rate they are within 5% unless my heart rate is up at 180ish, then the watch goes over by a bit more. Seriously for wrist hrm tracking accuracy the Apple Watch is amazing.
