As others have commented, I swap the watch band for a more formal one. Usually leather or titanium band. I also tend to change the watch face to a more formal one as well just for aesthetics.

Wearing all the time. Use different bands.

I’ve seen those mad man wearing both on each wrist

Always the Watch. If I’m wearing a suit or leather shoes with something else, I’ll just match the band to the shoes (and belt).

I have my previous watch’s Nike Nylon band and I bought Blue Alpine Loop band for my Apple Watch Ultra so when I do workout I switch to Nike Band and when I go to work I use Blue Alpine Loop Band

I got the dark grey Milanese band with the watch. Have worn it every day. I don’t concern myself with what others think of my look.

I’m too far gone

for my AWU, I do swap to the titanium band if wearing a formal attire.

I know someone who wear their Apple Watch for their wedding… by itself nothing wrong but she used the standard silicone band and if I were here I would have gotten a different band because in my eyes it destroyed her outfit.

Yes, Apple Watch always. I change my band depending on where I’m going. I have a Sport Band for the gym, a Milanese band that I typically wear and a Pride band that I wear when I remember to change into it, but it’s typically for casual things where I’d be more active than normal and don’t want to fuss with my Milanese band (which can require constant adjustment).

My AWU is actually suited to any circumstance.

For office and formal ones, I swap the band to a titanium one and the watch face to a simple California

Going to get downvoted, but a gadget tied to your wrist is never a classy look, even if the band is fancier. Wouldn’t wear my AW to a wedding, but so many people do, it’s no longer a real faux pas. Just a personal preference. People wear dirty, unmatching shoes with suits as well.

Apple Watch today, Apple Watch tomorrow, Apple Watch forever.

You definitely can make an Apple Watch look a lot more “dressed up” with a nice choice of band and face.

(Well, maybe not the ultra… 😅)

I change the band if need be. My Apple Watch is in my daughter’s wedding photos, the band matches my dress.
