Space Black Stainless Steel 42mm with link bracelet. My wrist isn't that big, so I may return it for the 38mm.
Having gone back and forth, I just want to ease into my first smart watch and went with the 42 alum with white sport band. I will also order a black and green sport band. I really love the SS, but felt that the aluminum with bands provided the best style and fashion for my current tastes.

It was either that or the classic buckle.3 things convinced me on the ML over the Classic buckle:
1. I plan to run with the watch. Not sure how durable leather band is to sweat even if leather shoe sprayed.
2. For a $149 price tag I'd rather have a stainless steel band.
3. I hate how the end of the band you tuck comes loose on most standard bands. It drives me nuts. I'd rather have the magnets.

They should be. Another MR member noticed a notch at the magnet part of the band most likely designed to get a finger nail under to peel it loose from the band.
I've looked at all of the models and finally settled on the Space Grey Aluminium Case 42mm with Black Sports Band. Now, I just need to save a few more pennies.
Watch I want! SS with Black Sport Band
I'm going to have to try them on before I order as I'm still completely undecided.
If I get 38mm, it'll either be the Sport or the SS with a white Sport band.
If I get 42mm, probably Sport with white band and a leather loop (blue, brown or black) as I think that would look pretty nice. Shouldn't clash either as there aren't any metal connectors on it.

99 votes and I'm the first one to be getting the 42mm SS model with Light Brown leather loop! I will also be ordering a black Sport Band on launch day.
Still want to try on the Milanese Loop to see how it fits and feels before I drop another $150

Yeah I have changed my mind since that poll Wish there was a way to change it so it would be more accurate.
I would bet that I'm not the only one who has changed their mind since then. To me it looks like more people are opting for the SS model than originally planned.

Please refrain from pre-ordering exactly when pre-orders open. How about trying 12:05 AM PST?

You put Stainless Steel Case 38mm with White Sports Band twice and no 38mm Stainless Steel Case 38mm with Black Sports Band option.
I am getting the 38mm SS w/ classic buckle. I am surprised at the amount of people getting the black SS.
