In the Pros/cons section you say only available in larger size, then in the Review: Where to buy, you say available in small, medium and large size.

Even though Apple lists it as 49mm band, it technically fits any of the larger Apple Watch models.

That includes the 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, or the new 46mm Series 10. Apple's specificity to the Ultra line is likely due to the finish.

It's clear to me what AI was talking about.

Saklad's post above is not accurate. Apple's Private Relay does not work exactly the same as a VPN. In addition, a VPN encrypts all internet traffic and Apple's Private Relay only encrypts traffic when using Safari. There is no encryption when using Chrome or any other app unless the app has built in encryption. I use a VPN 100% of the time, even when on a trusted network. I do not use Apple's Private Relay because both a VPN and Private Relay slow internet speed because of encryption that they both use.

I have Private Relay turned on for my Macs and iPhone. However using a VPN causes Private Relay to be "Unavailable" for me, besides working only in Safari.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why on earth is this not aluminum instead of cheap plastic? It looks like molding I could get at Home Depot for $0.39 per linear foot.

Have you read how it works? No. That wouldn't work well or at all if made of metal. It would also cost much more.

 It does look cheap though. Being a Twelve South product I knew it would be pricey. But $30? Fno. Even the twofer price of $40 is too much.12S could have spent a little more money and gave a couple of color options. It would probably have been $40 a copy.

Because all candidates were jokers, and many citizens did not want to vote for either of them. We are brainwashed to think we have "freedoms" and one of those is the voting. We get vote for one candidate out of two, neither of which we chose and they are two cheeks of the same butt.

They are idiots who incredibly shortsighted as in HUA. Your cheeks of the same butt remark shows the same incredible idiocy that gave us Trump and Musk. You think we'd enduring any of this crap with Harris/Walz? That's rank stupidity. No, people incapable of critical thinking, thinking they're making some kind of statement could have made a difference, if they got off their lazy ignorant asses and voted for Harris. Now we have someone who thinks they  are king. We, the people didn't give him that authority. That was the Republican Party. And those who weren't smart enough to vote for Harris/Walz.

We have the freedom to vote, but that freedom must be used. All those who decided to 'sit this one out' deserve what they're getting and more. Those of us who voted to save Democracy have to suffer with your non-critical thinking. Thanks for nothing.

I spoke with Tim Cook of Apple.

Extort $1M out of a guy, and he finally uses his correct name. Right Whiners say: "Why are you all so focused on his crimes. Let's ignore those and all his grift and just move forward". So we can watch him do it all again, and pretend it didn't happen. Already a lot of his cult base is whining about the Melania crypto coin. You asked for the leopard to eat your face. it won't be the last time it happens.

It's going to be an ugly four years and probably at least another for clean up some of the MAGA stain.
