Yup, but I just got the basic stainless steel one.

It can give my wrist a dark “shadow,” if I am sweating a lot, but otherwise, it’s been fine.

I have a ton of straps. Some of the non-metal ones are total garbage, and peel and crack.

If they had an “interim” variant, for around $100, I would consider that. I have a Junghans Apollo, that I got their full-fat strap for, and that was $150. That watch cost more than any of the (current) Apple Watches, and I haven’t worn it in years.

Yeah, I've meant "stainless steel" when I mentioned dirty wrists.

Would not be at all surprised, if the Apple band did the same (my Junghans one does).

Not gonna drop $350, to find out.

It’s no big deal, and only happens occasionally.

I had few Amazon SS bands, and they all were leaving dark marks. Apple's Silver Milanese Loop is stain free. Also price difference is not that bad compared to knockoffs.
