If you wear an Apple Watch, how do you wear it? I want to see your photos!
(I know we’ve talked about this before, but in light of Angie’s post today, it seemed a good time for a fresh thread.)

I’ve been pairing mine with natural stone bracelets and my original Milanese loop band. Recently, I’ve been using an album of travel photos (that’s me in that picture!), toned to match the watch, as my watch face.

What a great idea, Jenn. A beautiful composition of arm candy.

Beautiful, Jenn! I will try to snap pics later. I have a couple of standard ways of wearing it.

That’s a great idea ! I’m super basic with mine . Perforated black Nike band . No adornment and don’t wear bracelets very often these days .

Fun to see you in the pic!

It will be fun to see signature style come through in this thread.

For completeness sake......

I purchased a couple of inexpensive bands off of amazon that I switch out. One is white and the other is mixed metal. I change the face to a color that coordinates with what I am wearing and sometimes add a bracelet.

I have my Apple Watch about 3 years and wear it everyday. Love that it’s black as it goes with my predominantly black wardrobe.

Gorgeous styling Jen! I think I’ll be returning to this thread for inspiration!
I have several different colour straps, all basic silicone. Grey is the most frequently worn colour. Watch ‘face’ changes according to which grandchildren are around. Minnie is a fav, while my youngest GD (26 mos) is crazy for Buzz!

Great photo!
I am very basic with mine. Tried to add some bracelets but it didn’t feel like me. I also ordered new mixed metal band, but not sure if I would like it on me.

I have a red Apple watch and have a few bands -- all inexpensive. A rainbow stripped stretchy one is one of my favorites. I have a watch face set up that exactly matches the band stripes. Typically, I wear a red band. If I'm going to water aerobics and remember to put it on, I switch to silicon. Photos to come. It's on the charger because I forgot to charge it last night.

Love it with the stone bracelets! The butterfly watch is pretty too!

Don't have a picture but my watch looks very much like Pirouette's even though it is not Apple.

Mine has a tortoise band at the moment and I am looking for a new band especially for dressy occasions. This is how I wore it today. I almost always pair it with a bracelet or two. Usually pearls but not today.

@Jenn
I like those teal stones (of course, lol) & the tastefully matched watchface photo

@merwoman
How sweet you let your grandkids customise your watch face - a bonding moment!

@anchie
Nice & sleek Slight side note but your nail polish is also fab - is that a deep brown colour with purplish undertones? What's the shade, if you don't mind me asking?

I do not have an Apple Watch, but if I did I would pair it with bracelets of natural stone or black lava rock and a few friendship bracelets which are sentimental favorites.

Zaobi - it is a, I would say, more taupe color, it is Essie chinchilly.

As always late to implement trends as am still wearing (and loving:-)) my signature white chunky watch (updated the brand and strap to white silicone a few years ago) but loved this thread and the blog! Esp love the ability of personalising it not only to one’s true fashion style and persona but function (making it look like a part of a braceletÍ) & practicality (like pleasing kids:-))-how creative-I really didn’t think at that!:-)

Fun Apple Watch arm candy!

Definitely fun to see how everyone has personalized the same piece to be so unique!

Jenn, your watch is so harmonious with your style, I'm blown away. I'm inspired by all of the pics here. Thinking maybe I could make it work for me after all.

Firecracker, it blows my mind a little that Angie and Debbie and I are wearing basically the SAME watch, and arguably the same formula, but it's so different on each of us.

I will say that the newer "always on" watch screens make customization a bit easier because your chosen face is always visible. That's a lot more interesting visually than having a black box 90% of the time.

Jenn, I wear a lot of the stone bracelets with mine, too -- I have them in blue, green (jade) and grey. But tonight I'm wearing with a sterling silver bracelet that Mr. Suz got me years ago...

My watch, alas, is the less expensive version that is mostly black most of the time.

For bands, I have a fake Hermes wraparound, a bunch of silicone bands in different colours, a few of the stretch bands (all cheaper non-Apple versions) and a chain bracelet.

That's good info, Jenn!

And you're right! Same watch - three RADICALLY different looks. The joys of milking our signature styles

Thanks @anchie, it looks more grey in other photos. Amazing what a difference lighting makes - looks fab on you though!

This is my new Lagos watchband, a Christmas gift from family and my photos really don’t do it justice, as it’s a beautiful statement piece. I am experimenting wearing it with different bracelets because I’m hoping to do a mixed metals look of gold and silver, since I often wear both and like that look. I kind of like the subtle, not in your face gold finish of this Kendra Scott cuff, but I don’t think it’s quite right. I’ll probably look for something simpler. This also shows the watch with a shiny silver case, and my watch has a softer silver tone finish.

That is lovely, Kyle! Wow. Luxe!

Do you mean you have two watch cases -- shiny and softer?

Kyle

Sorry, Suz, I wasn’t clear. My original watch is aluminum and the finish is called Starlight. Then I have a shiny silver bumper, shown here.
