a product is putting it through the paces for as much time as you can give it. Well I installed the Lululook titanium band over 30 days ago and haven’t swapped it out once. And given my usual behavior, I absolutely would have swapped it out if it wasn’t up to par or if something annoyed me. Never happened. It’s been great. I think part of it is that it reminded me of how I felt about watches before the Apple Watch. This feels like the metal band that was on your favorite watch, except lighter. Titanium in general always seems to feel a bit warmer than other metals too which just adds to the comfort level. You can see that the color is pretty spot on. The watch interface links are touch more silver than the rest of the band and have polished sides which you’ll notice occasionally in bright lighting. The only thing of note to call out is that occasionally, when my watch rotates to the outside edge of my wrist (like when typing), the center link right next to the watch body turns almost 90º to the watch face. The exposed edge feels more prominent than it looks and I noticed it once or twice with the fingers from my other hand when interacting with the watch. It’s not sharp per se, but not a soft rounded edge either.
