I'm still rocking the 7, I really do hope that Apple give me a proper reason to upgrade this year, I'm going to buy something at some point, I've gone as far as to start running my Series 7 without any sort of case on it since I've been spending less time in the desert, on the off chance I break it, and have to buy something new...

Happy with it. Got my data plan on it. Though I wish Apple/Facebook would sort it out and make a proper WhatsApp client on the watch. I've downloaded 'WatchChat' which seems good enough but it doesn't work without a mobile phone being connected. Seeing as most people who want to talk to me, talk through Whatsapp it's a bit annoying that sometimes I'd still need a phone with me.
I think there’s £100 off these (thinking of one myself, not sure).

Yeah I got that deal on Amazon which is why I jumped on it.
Mines coming today - 46 Mm black £329! Not from Amazon though as wanted today delivery (Argos).
Re strap :
The strap I’m getting is bisikor (tomorrow) https://amzn.eu/d/6O3SkqV
(And some screen protectors - just in case)

Can anyone recommend a good watch strap?
I got my ultra 2 last week with the ocean band. I wash it every day with water. And the bit where the metal loops stick out of the band, and touch my skin I’m having a reaction. From googling it’s quite common and likely nickel in the metal.
The alpine loop also has a metal clasp, but by its design it doesn’t look like it should ever touch the skin.
The trail loop has no metal at all and looks the best bet.
The Milanese seems like a no go because it’s all metal and I’ll likely react to it.
Just wondering if anyone else went through this and could recommend? Even if they’re third party straps?
I sleep in the watch, and use it for exercise. Cheers.

I ordered a trail loop last night. Put it on today and I’ve only worn it for a few hours and it seems so much nicer and comfortable than the ocean. Fingers crossed I have no reaction to this.
Hey All
I'm looking at changing my Apple Watch Series 10 46mm band but I'm struggling to find any that are suitable at a reasonable cost? Looked on Amazon for bright colours but even though they have series 10 there isn't many/any in 46mm?
Any other recommendations?

You’re allowed to say Amazon.
My app isn’t working at the moment but I’ll link the one I bought when it’s back on.
It sure if correct thread… Does anyone know how to use Now Playing on the Apple Watch (mine is an SE) when using Spotify? I much prefer the look of it when listening to podcasts where you get album covers etc. Does it do that for Spotify?
The Spotify screen on Apple Watch is terrible.

The Spotify app on Apple Watch is beyond terrible.
The only way I can get it to work is turning my iPhone off. The moment the phone is off, the watch will download playlists for offline listening and start playing through the actual watch and not for some reason trying to connect to the phone. For some reason if the phone is on and connected to Spotify, the Apple Watch one just does not work at all and is incredibly buggy.
Not sure whose fault it is but look like awful software development from Spotify.
So... you download to your watch, to listen via your phone, to your headphones.. that are presumably linked to your phone? I mean I can understand why that's confusing for all the connections going on 
I'm guessing it's like most thing on Apple and is totally hamstrung by Apple themselves to push others into their own apps. Much like Google Maps compared to Apple Maps. Nobody wants to use Apple Maps generally, but navigating with your watch is a million times better with Apple Maps compared to Google Maps

Don't wear a case on my 7 but it's battery health is at 72% so torn between £95 to get a new battery in it, or sell on for the series 11 (probably £400). The series 10 is a whole 2g lighter (32g vs 30gb) while being 1mm bigger!! Wonder if the 11 will follow...
