Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4

It’s October 5, 2018 and this means Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4 is released.

The packaging of Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4 is different than its Series 3 counterpart. I will add the comparison photo later, if when I find the box.

I ordered Space Gray Apple Watch Nike+ with Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band. The use of word “Anthracite” reminds me of the band Anthrax, not the bacteria.

There are boxes inside the packaging, the Watch and the charging cable+adapter.

The Apple Watch itself has its own packing sleeve.

The Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band has its own packaging.

I bought Blue Horizon Sport Band to use with the Space Gray Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4. The combination looks nice.

110,479 7-Workout Week

This must be a record with the Activity Awards on the iPhone.

Let’s do the math here:

110,479 week
110,479 x 7 days
773,353 days

1,461  days in 4 years – including February 29 on the fourth year.

(773,353 / 1,461) x 4 = 2,177.325 years

Trouble with D’Addario EXL120

Sometimes in March 2018, I started using D’Addario strings on my electric guitars per recommendations from two expert guitar technicians. Previously I have been exclusively using Ernie Ball Regular Slinky. It was the first brand of guitar strings that I used on my first electric guitar, a used Gibson SG that I purchased for $150 some years ago.

Personally I do not hear or feel major differences between D’Addario and Ernie Ball strings. All I care the most, the guitar is set-up properly to my likings.

For some reasons I have had three occasions when the EXL120 high E string keeps unravelling at the bridge.

I contacted my go-to guitar expert regarding the issue. He said this issue happened to 9-gauge string but not to 10-gauge ones. He recommend me to contact D’Addario.
