    These claim to be XL and sized to fit 8+ inch wrists. I do not have direct experience with these bands. Amazon takes stuff back with no issues though. Indeed, with something this light and small, they may just tell you to keep it if it does not work out.

    @BaiHu I’ve bought from https://www.crownandbuckle.com/ before and still wear the leather strap occasionally, although I’m a swapper, admittedly. Quality is very good for the prices.

    Guy in front of me at the grocery checkout last night had a Seamaster300 on his left wrist and an apple watch on his right. I don't think I could ever get to that stage, as I'm already surgically attached to my phone

    Thank you! I have a few other cheap ones on the way that will get returned if they don’t work.

    Anybody have experience with ruggedized straps/covers for the apple watch? We got our son an SE model for Christmas, but I know he's gonna break it without some sort of Gshock-like covering

    Check out MobileReviewsEh on YouTube. He’s one of the more no-nonsense tech reviewers out there. In this video, he covers slip-on cases and screen protectors: http://https://youtu.be/dnirP90Qtu0. While researching the same topic, I also happened across this video showing options from Spigen and SUPCASE: http://https://youtu.be/IpJWogE-IjU.

    I just got on the Apple Watch bandwagon after listening to a close friend rant and rave about how much she liked hers. Series 7 in Space Black titanium, 45mm. Really didn’t care for the aluminum colors this year—the closest color they had to black, Midnight, had too much blue in it.

    Mixed feelings about it so far. I’m coming from a Fenix 5 Sapphire which I’ve been wearing daily since early 2017. Things I loved about that watch: durable as hell, great battery life, always on display (including seconds!), ANT+ compatibility for pairing with an HRM chest strap, and just enough “smart” capability to tell me if I needed to pull my phone out of my pocket to answer a call or text. Also, while a niche need for me, the Fenix does not have a microphone, so I could wear it into sensitive work meetings where we don’t allow devices with audio recording/transmitting capability. So far, I am digging the much smarter features of the Apple Watch, but it feels tiny after wearing the chunky Fenix for four years. I’m not thrilled about having to charge it daily. I like doing sleep tracking, so charging overnight isn’t an option. I appreciate how it handles notifications—it knows if I’m actively using my phone that I don’t need to get the same notifications on the phone and the watch at the same time, a minor annoyance with the Fenix. I’m interested to see how the fitness tracking works, as I’ve got a ton of historical data saved in Garmin Connect at this point and I don’t like the idea of losing all that. Also have a Garmin scale, which automatically syncs with Connect, but it seems that has been uploading to Apple Health all along, too.

    Anyway, I figure I’ll stick with the Apple for a couple weeks, then switch back to the Garmin for a day or two, and see how much I miss the smart features before making a decision to keep or return the Apple.

    Because there's just too many nice straps out there. This one is from Blu Shark.
