I’m so excited for Apple Watch Studio

It’s about time Apple allows customers to pick and choose what watch band they want with their Apple Watch. I bet this is a deciding factory for a lot of people. Can’t wait to experience this in future iterations of the Apple Watch (not upgrading this time). Are you excited about this...why or why not?

It's past time. They should have done this long ago.

I will be upgrading from my S2 (keeping the S2 to use as my sleeping watch), and I can't say that I am excited by Apple Watch Studio, but I am happy that I will be able to chose the band that I want, rather than get it with Apple's choice and then have to potentially purchase a replacement.

Love that I can now get the watch band I want and don't have to settle. Makes this upgrade even better for me.

The online studio is definitely making it easier to get a glimpse of how a band will match up with the color of your watch. Bravo to Apple for finally doing this!

I very much like the change. I've got plenty of bands without being "forced" into buying something I already have!

Trying different bands with different watches has been available for a while. I think since the Series 3, but it was kinda hidden on Apple's site. It is nice that you can actually buy it like that now instead of using it to buy additional bands.

No I’m not excited about, but I’m sure allot of people are. It’s a good thing to be able to personalize your tech.

It has been available for awhile, but I don’t think many people knew about it. I’m also glad you can pick and choose the band that comes with the watch.

I'm not sure how much it helped me though. I ordered 2 extra bands to go with my Series 5. Damn those new Sport Loop colors!!!!

I haven’t been able to use Apple Studio on the web to design a watch. Only on the Apple Store App on my phone. Can anyone else design on watch through the web?

Agreed. This will definitely benefit both Apple and consumers.

Thanks, I was finally able to get it to come up on my laptop using Chrome. I get an employee discount so if I go to order anything I need it to buy using my laptop. It's not much of a discount. It says 2% to 10% off products but it's usually only 2% on products and 10% on Apple Care.
