![]() I was originally sent a band for the smaller (38-40mm) watch model. (Charging an Apple Watch with any type of continuous bracelet without a stand is touchy, at best.) The Milanese mesh band I usually wear is more fluid and “drapes” better, so it doesn’t tend to influence this as much. The one thing I found that was irritating is that the weight of the band makes it balance oddly on some charging stands, so care needs to be taken to ensure it is charging. I was pleased that this band has not changed from what I remember as a kid – it doesn’t pinch or pull on hair or skin. While not an overly hirsute fella, I do have a good bit of arm hair. With metal bands, many folks are (rightly) concerned about whether or not it pinches or pulls the hair on your arm. (I wear my watch all the time, except when showering or charging it, so it has to come off once a day, at least.) Not sure if this is polished or matte.) The inner surface is polished, which makes it feel cool to your wrist when first put on. (It is also available in a black matte version and a finished called silver. The outside of the band I was sent is a brushed, satin-finish metal (aluminum?) that blends with my silver aluminum Apple Watch perfectly. When it’s the work of 10 seconds to switch out your watchband, you tend to get a lot of different bands, because – why not? See elsewhere on the web for in-depth discussions of this feature, which has become one of those “obvious” design features of Apple innovation. The extra benefit of this model is that, rather than those maddening spring-loaded band bars all watch lovers hate, this one has attachment bars for the Apple Watch. ![]() I’m happy to report that the current generation is just as much fun and looks just as nice on the arm as the models of yore. ![]() Several of my friends had one, and I envied their ability to have the equivalent to a fidget spinner that the teacher couldn’t take away because it was just a wristwatch. When I was in what is now called Middle School, I was given a watch for some occasion and saved up my money in order to buy a Speidel Twist-O-Flex bracelet for it. They now make it for many of the most popular wearables, from Apple Watches to FitBit devices. Back in the day, it came in many different finishes and styles and was promoted in newsreels and on TV by famous actors. During this time, I believe it’s safe to say that the Twist-O-Flex style, which was introduced in 1959, has become their most well-known product. The Speidel Company has been making watch bands since 1904.
