I very slightly caught the material with my nail, whilst putting on my new modern buckle, and it left a feint scratch.

This material does not seem very durable.

Would you keep it, or return it?

I wouldn’t get another one, I’d just get a refund.

That color also seems high maintenance in that material since it’s so light, it could easily pick up dirt. And not sure how easy it is to clean the fine woven. Also the scratches from what I’ve seen become permanent.

Honestly $149 for that band is too steep! The leather Modern Buckle was nicer in my opinion.

My last photo of this (particular) white ceramic series 5 and original white band.

Battery life has gone from 79% to 77% this year, so thanks to AppleCare+, I went ahead with the express replacement service.

Expected, of course, but nevertheless very cool to exercise the monthly warranty years later. Well worth it!
