finally! cant wait...

I wonder will there be anyone buying this watch going to put case and screen protection ?
This thing is so rugged, right. 🤭

why everyone in utube reviewing mostly alpine orange loop? or sometimes ocean band.. but rarely the trail loop?? i want the trail loop but nowhere to be seen in utube review videos..izit super limited?

Now there is a look that screams insecurity.

How about a flexible film that's barely visible?

I think at the end of the day, it's a personal device so people should just do what makes them feel comfortable. I understand some may not feel secure if they don't add another layer for peace of mind.

Personally, I don't use caes or screen protectors on my current iPhone nor my watch as I think it takes away from the experience. No point having a device look pristine at the end of it's product life. Your mileage will vary.

Somehow this is also true. 😁

will add a layer of SP/TG just to fulfill OCD requirement …

as for the case, since it is meant to be titanium - let it scuff and build memories haha.

Ya, I somewhat agree with that too. But at the same time, I'd like to try keeping my device in as good condition as I can so that it can later be passed to someone else if the need arises. Like now that 3G is history and when I come across someone who can't afford to get another phone, or something along the line.

Ya. OCD is also another factor. 😅

I think for Watch to add a case it will seriously do not look nice. But I do agree that Watch is very easily to get knocked here and there so scratches are really unavoidable.

I think if there is TG to cover the screen should be the max to go.

Ayam currently using rhinoshield on my aw6 since it has curved screen. The rhinoshield gives the aw a raised lip around the screen to protect it from knocked into wall/gate or fall.

The awu titanium casing already have a slight raised lip around the flat screen so i think for me i dont need any case for it.

Also, i hate screen protectors on touch screens. It makes tje experience worse, but cases for me is a must on phones or curved screens

So ayam kenot wait for tje AWU it will be my first apple device without any case and it looks awesome!

Ayam kenot wait to put all the miles in it!

Btw, u gais are clocking how many miles/kms per week on your current aw?

I do hv tpu case perviously on my aw6, but seriously it look awful. Now i hv the case with tempered glass which match the watch color it looks much better and clearer screen. Lesson learnt here.
If for AWU, I think better go for naked style. It is a rugged watch anyway. 😊

not a fan of casing and protectors, but maybe TG for the ultra this time quite good coz of the flat surface…might get. TG if it fits like our phone…

Yes. I think so too. It totally ruins the look by putting a case. It is the same like ppl who wears a Rolex also will not put a case even its much higher price.

I usually pass on my old device to someone else to use after I'm done with it too.
But one day, I realized that the person I gave it to got a pristine device while I had a subpar ownership experience because of the lengths I went through to keep the device that way. In a sense, I was going through the pain of looking after the device for the next owner down the line rather than enjoying it as the original owner.

So now I tell myself the device serves me rather than the next owner. I use all my devices without cases or screen protectors and am enjoying the ownership experience. Sure in a few years the device will have wear and tear when I pass it to the next person, that's the way I want it to be.

Back to the AWU, can't wait to get my hands on one. Even have the extra bands I want to buy for mixing & matching.
Alpine loop, trail loop, solo loop, silver link and the braided solo loop.

you guys getting the AWU from apple website or walk in to machines / switch to buy?

i'm planning to get the green alpine loop

I currently broke after buy ip14pm. 😔

Case for the AWU will definitely be more glaring, given its size. And TG is out for me too, since it'd more or less affect the touch sensitivity. I use only those thin flexible film, and it works well.

AW7's my first AW so I've a bumper, had to because it took me a few months to learn to be more careful to avoid hitting my wrist on anything. But... even a transparent bumper can spoil the AW-look...
