I was looking at straps but it confused me. Are straps model specific or universal?
Three want an extra £5 for LTE

The Mrs bought one of those the other week as she’s started at the gym with me. I was a bit pissy as I’ve been trying to get her on to iPhone for ages but she won’t convert. I have the Apple Watch 10 and she’s always been impressed with it and I told her the Pixel 3 would be a massive step down. Ok it may not directly compare with the series 10 but it’s certainly damn good android watch.

EBay will be full of replacement straps. The fabric/velcro ones tend to be the most comfortable but not very practical if you go swimming or get your wrists wet.
£5 for LTE isn’t bad actually. I’m with EE and I pay £7. Definitely useful if you out outdoors a lot, running, cycling, hiking etc. Call quality won’t be comparable to using your phone but still very workable.

And given the incredible weight-loss journey you've been on, recommendations don't get much better than this.

Re: What have you just bought?
Yeah those nylon straps tend to be more comfortable on your skin plus it's easier to get the tightness right. With the original straps you're limited to the spaces between the holes.
On a side note, have I ever made such a post with so many double entendres before?

I love this. It's nice and beefy. My mum said when buying Amazon informed her that this item had been returned a lot. Well mine isn't getting returned unless it breaks which I doubt will happen, it kind of defeats the purpose of it if it breaks.

Re: What have you just bought?
That does look like a good strap that but I do not like the buckle I can feel it. Not worn a watch for years before this and with the elastic strap I often forget it is there with straps like this I can always feel it

1.4 kg beef brisket joint for £13.99 at Lidl this morning. I'll pot roast this for melt in the mouth tender meat.
