That said, has anyone come across a metal band with this type of clasp (42mm if it matters)? I loved this when I used to have a Skagen watch - easy to close, secure, and continuously adjustable.



I feel like I'm turning into a monowear shill but the mesh loop is very similar http://amzn.to/2yw2MDi

Goes great with my SS and it's now my favorite band.

Maybe if you make goofy poo poo hipsters and nerds like such as a strip of bacon or cats or some other dumb poo poo on it.

I upgraded phones and it seems like I'm missing half of the apps I used to have on my watch when I switch the watch to the new phone. It's been 24 hours since I upgraded.

Edit: just checked here on day three, they’re all back now. I guess it just takes a long time to restore.

Now that I'm a couple months in, I'd figure I'd check in and offer my opinion on the usefulness of LTE. For me, so far, I've yet to be in a situation where I needed it, or rather there was a time when I couldn't carry my phone. It's really no burden to carry the phone. When I leave my phone behind, I feel like I'm going to need it and I eventually do. I thought maybe it'll help me disconnect when I'm out and about, but I don't think it's a problem I have. I do use my phone a lot, but rarely when I'm spending quality time with someone else or out at night. I got enough discipline.

Considering the X is now pretty compact, I don't run outside of a gym, and I'm not really engaged in watery activities, it's not worth the $10 a month. Now if I were outdoor runner or still lived in FL where I'd go to the beach/pools/waterparks all the time, I would probably keep it.

With that said, I will say the SS is totally worth it. My last watch was a sport S0 and I got scratched the gently caress up weeks in and eventually had a tiny crack. My SS still looks as new as the day I bought it.

I don’t really like navigation on my watch. I’d rather glance over at my phone in its mount for a second than try to focus on a tiny screen on my wrist. It’s less time I have to take my eyes off the road. I also drive a stick shift, so raising my wrist takes my hand off the shifter. The buzzes in the watch are fine though.

Yeah I feel like it's safer to just use your phone on the car mount. It's alright if you're in a rental or someone else car that doesn't have a mount. Watch navigation is awesome for walking though.
