Gold stainless steel case with gold milanese loop

This is a question that many people have asked, and the answer is yes, it tarnishes. The material used to make the Milanese loop is stainless steel, which can quickly tarnish. The tarnishing process can happen when the band gets wet or when it comes in contact with sweat or lotions.

A: I have the series 5 and it matches. A: Actually yes, it does. I've owned now two of these bands, genuine Apple product. There are spots where the color has worn off with daily wear.

On the other hand, the stainless steel Apple Watch is much harder. Still, stainless steel does have a drawback: scratches are more noticeable than the aluminum version. These so-called microabrasions can appear on polished stainless steel soon after you start wearing one, especially on the silver version.

Woven on specialized Italian machines, the smooth stainless steel mesh wraps fluidly around your wrist. And because it's fully magnetic, the Milanese Loop is infinitely adjustable, ensuring a perfect fit. An additional physical vapor deposition (PVD) layer gives the gold stainless steel its distinctive finish.
