    In what was an epic display of self control...

    My first 48 hours with the watch were like that - not sure if it was worth the money, was it just an unnecessary luxury etc. Then I flipped on the third day when I was at work: it helped me triage a barrage of mails and texts while in meetings. From then I was sold! And then the health stuff got...

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    Do you live in the States? I'm starting to wonder if they don't have different suppliers and one of these suppliers is pushing out defective bands? Quite a few people online have complained about it and the Apple Call Centre guy told me that it's a 'known' issue. I'm waiting for his call back...

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    Does the Space Grey look good with the other colour options? I'm sure it would work with a number of the leather bands, loops etc., but I'm not sure how it would look with a green, red, white or blue band. Been trying to check it out on mixyourwatch.com, but the site seems to be down. Anyone...

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    Thanks for the reply. At this point I'd be happy if they just replaced the band once! Still struggling to get a result from the Call Centre guys, although they're trying hard. And yep, I agree, Apple need to do something about this - especially because they're charging so much for the band. I'm...

    Thinking of an apple watch for recieveing messages while driving

    Yep, I'm that rider. It's really difficult to distinguish the taps with all the handlebar vibration, but what has happened a few times is that my phong has rung (in my front pocket) and I've felt that - prompting me to check the watch quick to see who's calling. So all's well that ends well, I...

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    Yep, Bamf is right. I reckon I was just unlucky. And if they swap the band for me, you'll have extra confidence. I'll let you guys know soon.

    At the risk of sounding ridiculous...

    I've only had it for around a month - hopefully I won't be throwing it away in a year!

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    UPDATE: The saga continues. It's a little bit trickier to resolve because I live in Singapore and we don't have official Apple stores here; which means I can't just walk into a store (or to the Genius Bar) and have them sort it out. I need to go through Authorized Resellers and they're not half...

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    Thanks for all the responses. I'm going to get hold of Apple to see if they'll exchange the band.

    Black Sport Band Wearing Quickly

    I've had my Watch just under a month and I've noticed quite a bit of wear on the band/strap in two areas: top of the 'short' band (the one with the pin) where the band slides into the watch; and under the 'short' band where the other strap tucks into the closure - terrible shots below. It looks...

    Buying an Apple watch from another country

    Word of warning: I live in Singapore and got my sister to buy me a watch in Australia and then ship it over to me in Asia. Lithium-Ion batteries are not your friend. You will have to use a courier (not regular mail) and couriers are not afraid of charging for Li-ion because the batteries require...

    What's the most efficient watch face?

    You're welcome mate.

    At the risk of sounding ridiculous...

    I was just wondering if there are any other WATCH owners on here that also ride a motorcycle? Have you encountered any problems with the watch and handlebar vibrations? (Can it damage the watch?) What about riding in the wet? Has the watch survived a good downpour? Are there any gloves/jackets...
