After much anticipation and Internet trawling, avidly following the lead up to the launch of the Apple watch I originally pre ordered the SS + Milanese loop on April 10th but cancelled my order shortly after launch day because I read several hyped up internet tales of it not working with tattooed people (I'm very heavily tattooed) and I thought £600 for a smart watch that wouldn't work due to my tats was to say at the least very disappointing but after lots more internet research and a visit to my local Apple Store where I had a very long chat/try on session with a heavily tattooed Apple worker who let me try out his watch rather than the store watches which are in demo mode, it quickly became apparent to me that the only restrictions I faced due to my tats was the hr monitor wouldn't work correctly (which I was already aware) meaning some of the fitness aspects won't work very well and the wrist detection would need to be disabled rendering Apple pay useless for me (which I have no interest in) other than that all other functions seemed to work ok, all notifications etc came through and all seemed well so I re ordered, but after spending time looking at all the options I decided to go for the space grey sport and added the black leather loop as imo that combination is
So after having to endure what seemed like an eternity waiting I've finally got my dispatch notification and should get my new toy in the next day or so and I can't wait
If it's something that appeals to you then go for it (I'm a big Apple fan, a watch fan and a gadget fan so it ticks plenty of boxes for me)
It's a gen 1 product that will undoubtedly be improved over time but imo it's totally worth it, but as others have stated try it and if you're not completely satisfied you have 14 days to return it
