You saw it here first. This might be the exact first time that anyone did this and I predict a minor style trend: combining two different straps on the Apple Watch. (Obviously, both have to be Sport bands.) My life seems to have a color scheme of black and white: clothing, accessories; dishes, furniture. Even my glasses are black and white. For years I only worked in B&W photography, color is very distracting to me. That’s generally true; some people enjoy color but I don’t.

As a confirmed minimalist, I’d rather see my environment pared down to the essentials, and it is a relief from distraction to have a simple color scheme. Makes it easier to get dressed too, I don’t have to dig for things that match.

This half-and-half watch band came about when I started to swap my white band for a black one, and it looked so good like this that I decided to keep it.
