![]() ![]() ![]() It's really nice to know the Apple bracelet holds up so well. No matter how good the tolerances are, worn coatings make the band look older than bracelet stretch. It may be a decent value for the money, depending on how well the black coating adheres to the Ti. The Nomad band looks nice from the video. Thank you for the information on the Apple band. Let’s come back in a year, and see how this one did. Apple’s bracelet has proven to be a top notch performer, and highly reliable. Yes, it’s about double, but it still isn’t that much. $180 compared to $350 isn’t really that much of a leap. I’d like to have one of these in my hands to examine, though I’m likely not willing to buy one just for that purpose. That’s it’s made from titanium is nice, but it doesn’t mean much as far as quality goes. That means that the black can, and therefor will, wear off. The fact that there was already some silver showing, despite that they called it a factory defect, is worrying. I doubt that this Nomad will hold up nearly as well as the Apple. Long term, it really isn’t that expensive. When I buy the next one, whether it will be the 5, or a later model, I will keep it. HODINKEE, which is the premiere watch site, has stated that high end watch makers would have a hard time making the bracelet for $3,000. Depending on which direction you’re looking at pricing. Even though I have shops, which include a fair amount of grinding both with fixed grinders and handheld angle grinders, using very hard substances which get in the air, and on horizontal surfaces, I’ve never gotten one tiny scratch, or even a rubbed area. They then coat it with a DLC (diamond like Carbon). As those who have been here for a while know, because I’ve posted on this several times in Watch discussions, this bracelet is just about perfect.Īpple uses a high grade of 316L alloy they’ve modified themselves in their own alloy R&D department. So I’ve had the bracelet for several years. I bought Apple’s black bracelet when I bought the Watch series 2 when it first came out. ![]()
