I have two and they alternate. That said I didn’t buy two for that purpose, I just didn’t get rid of my old one when I upgraded.

I can close it fine (I have to force it open, it’s just way too easy to) so it’s not of major concern rn (at least, it can wait until after Christmas when I’m not broke while still using it normally). At least it did open up before it became impossible to close up without crushing the battery, so I have a bit of a warning signal.

S6? That’s rather new, and I don’t have warranty on mine anymore.

I used to have this band, and I gave up cleaning it in 2 weeks. I got one of the Nike+ bands and I haven’t looked back. Fabric bands on a watch which is going to be tanking a lot of sweat was never going to be a good idea, probably the best way to clean out as much sweat/salt (mostly the salt) as possible would be to soak the band in soapy water but idk how well that would work.

I used to do this, but since I always want the battery % and the date somewhere on the watch face I kinda limit myself.

Maybe it was 0.01 calories vs 0 calories before?

 

I know this happens if the battery swells up, but I do not see a spicy pillow in there. That battery is flush with the Digital Crown reader, and it only pops out if I shift the screen away from the Digital Crown (towards the connector). It’s an S1 circa mid-2017, at one point I replaced the screen on it (myself, not got a refurb watch from Apple) which is probably related. It’s also no longer my primary watch, it’s a sleep tracker and a backup in case I forget to charge up my S6 overnight. Lucky bonus, if I do need to replace the battery, the Force Touch sensor is still good so I can reuse that.
