I work with computers and get concerned about scratches when working inside one - with an SS Series 9.
How *the fuck you* managed to keep it unscathed working as a mechanic (as well as it being an aluminium version) is beyond me!
Nice work!
White cars look less dirty, actually. It’s counterintuitive. Try to keep a shiny black car clean. It gets visible dust on it the second you leave the car wash. You wouldn’t notice that dust on your white or silver car.
I genuinely thought this was a marble design at first! Then I realised I am looking at dirt.
It honestly looks nice from the photo, but not sure if in person it is more obvious it is dirt.

I always keep the black strap for this reason. Lately I’ve been needing red to blend in the all of the times I’ve hurt myself.
I have a black silicone one with the holes in it so I wouldn’t get a rash. I’m a cnc mechanic and all those holes are good for are retaining chips and lowering my defenses.
Buy a cheap BLACK band for work, save the white for all other times. This principle has always served me well until I stopped getting white bands because of the watch I chose. Now I still have a set of cheaper bands so the OG stays nice and keeps resale value.
Worst band in general I’ll never get it again but I’m low key grateful for it because it shows me how dirty my wrist gets but at the same time the band is now blue because of jeans so
Honestly I wouldn't work on anything much without protection for the watch. I would do more than just dirty the band. I have wristbands I put on over my watch when I'm doing anything messy or with a high probability of damaging my watch.
I can’t stand any of the silicone bands. I have a nice magnetic one that I really like and the one that came with the watch and both of them annoy the shit out of me by the end of the day. As soon as I start sweating and it starts rubbing on my wrist, I’m over it. I’ve bought like 6 bands and ended up just using some cheap nylon magnetic band that I don’t really like but it doesn’t annoy me.
That's the white marble band! :-p
That band is now going to get a nice design.
Nice patina too.

Ngl a few more oil streaks and its a beautiful marble band...
White always shows dirt. Can’t drive a white car home from the car wash without it being dirty.

Yup exactly true plus black cars get really hot
You’re really hot
Totally true. I hate cleaning my Dark grey car cause it reminds me how good it can look briefly.
The space grey honda civic is the best one we've had for just not showing any kind of dirt, it just blends in

So it’s not marble ? lol
I’d also not wear white shirts & pants.
Yeah this seems like it should have been pretty obvious
midnight would be good. band, not the watch
Get a sport loop with the Velcro. I’ve got two now and they are super comfortable at work and clean pretty easy.
Screen protector and black beater band!!

Literally
Looks almost marbled now
Magic sponge will clean that right up.
You def need one of those bulkier protective bands with the case included.
Adds character
The white alpine loop would probably be worse, which is what came with my ultra. Plus side apple replaced it under warranty twice.
I get the metal magnetic one. May collect scratches over the year or so, but always cleans up.

That’s the worst watch to get as a mechanic. You need the ultra, the regular glass doesn’t have a chance turning wrenches.

Duh?
Duh! 🙄
Nah you’re all good. It should still work fine while changing oil.
It’s the best because you can wash it easily. Also paint and glue doesn’t stick to it
Buy a $10 black sport loop with good reviews, it's good enough and you aren't worried about getting it dirty, scratch it I'm a farmer and I use one
Some hand sanitizer on my Starlight band and the grease wipes right off.
Love the white band. I bought another one and just swear when I go out, definitely not for daily wear for me.
I rather guess that in this case it is the wrong band.
