Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Stupid question, but can you use the leather band in shower ?It exceeded my expectations. Cant go wrong with that combo as a starter.

My desire to buy new toys really makes me want to snag an 8 just to have something to play with this week, and then sell it in a month and a half when the X comes out. Stupid, I know... but doesn't mean I want to do it any less.
I went Note 8 to iPhone 8+ and will go X. So yeah, youve got company.Ill echo something I told you in different context about the ceramic watch: do it so Im not the only person who did it
The ceramic model seems like a superfluous waste of cash. It doesn't change the experience in any way that justifies its cost.
I'm not knocking anyone who buys it. I don't get it. But if it's what you want, go for it.

The steel model at least gets the sapphire glass and is a little more scratch resistant, the difference in durability between ceramic and steel seems negligible. Theyre both going to hold up better than the aluminum models over time.Sometimes people just want to have nice things. The steel Series 3 isn't any more functional than the aluminum, but hell if I'm buying an aluminum watchor a watch with a giant red fuckin dot on it

Thats exactly what I mean. It doesnt make sense to me for someone to pay so much for a tech accessory that will be obsolete in a handful of years. Its a cool device, but it wont retain value the same way actual jewelry does.It seems extra silly considering the watch, like an iPhone, is tech youll probably want to replace in a year or two.

Quality and craftsmanship are worth something. I suggest you do a little research on how they make the ceramic watch. It takes them hours per watch just to polish it. All from a single block of ceramic.The ceramic model seems like a superfluous waste of cash. It doesnt change the experience in any way that justifies its cost.

And then complrtely fucks it up
With a giant red dot
I also love how some like Gurman are trying to downplay it. No shit, people care quite a bit about how their multiple hundred dollar watch looks? Really really hope they go back to the previous colors with the next series.The red dot is honestly like in the top ten most baffling Apple aesthetic choices of the past fifteen years

It's also very, very fascinating how Apple has done a pretty much 180 degree pivot on what the Apple Watch is. The very first introduction presented their new product as a fashion product, through and through; this was most demonstrably their goal when they put the 5-figure "Edition" up against things like Rolex, IWC, Omega, etc; with a focus on celebrities wearing the device alongside high-end suits and shoes on the red carpet. This was a "ultra-lux" product that scaled alongside prestigious watch-makers and their classic pieces, complications, and overall designs.
And now, just three years later, the Apple Watch is almost 100% marketed as a sports/fitness/health device with a "techy spin" in that it complements an iPhone. Even their highest-end models don't break ~$1,500, and that's with a partnership with Hermes.
Would really love to have an inside ear on what changed. What internal dialgoues were had. If this was always the plan or if it unraveled organically.
In any case - what you say is 100% right and it's utterly hilarious that certain people are down-playing the red-dot. For a device that was supposedly all about design and character - especially from the tech company that most prides itself on its design, the red-dot is just ridiculous. It has no place being on the Watch, and its truly remarkable that they've somehow thought it was "okay." For a time piece, it's utterly baffling - and if I'm going to wear a ~$500 device on my wrist, I sure as hell want it to look good.

I've been watching a few drop tests and pieces of the back literally fly off the 8, showing the internals. Holy shit.

Apparently its a knock on the iPhone that a small piece broke off after dropping it from a tall ladder onto concrete. Meus posts in Apple threads always feel like really lazy troll posts.So they should have kept the aluminum back.
If it retains its value after five years, I will wholeheartedly endorse that view.Quality and craftsmanship are worth something. I suggest you do a little research on how they make the ceramic watch. It takes them hours per watch just to polish it. All from a single block of ceramic.
Im not sure buying stickers make most people feel better after spending $300+

Im not that crazy. T-Mobiles jump on demand lets me upgrade as much I want.Wait you literally bought an $800+ iPhone to use for 5 weeks?
So I tried on my mothers 38mm Series 1 Apple Watch. I have tiny wrist and it fits me nice especially with the small band in it. My stupid ass ordered the 42mm Series 3 thinking the bigger screen would be needed. I fucked up, its probably going to be ridiculously huge on me, and look corny as hell.
Oh well I reap what I sow, gonna have to deal with it until I upgrade to the Series 4 if that one is a big jump.

Starting to regret getting the 8 Plus. The size upgrade is nice, always getting the smaller before, but now with extended use its clear I am incapable of handling the device with one hand. I suppose in time I will just acclimate, but getting bummed at not waiting for the form fitting X.
Its going to be worth a cool $200 two years from now. You are not buying a fucking Rolex.
What's one of the most amazing looking cases for an 8?
I am wary of Spigen going forward as the last one has wrecked the back of my 6S.
