Cool watch face. May have to try that one.Here is my new AW. Just finished setting it up.
Love my gold sport. Never wanted any other color. Do people really think it's feminine?
Black and gold has always been one of my favorite looks, just for how classy it looks. I don't think the aluminum looks cheap at all, but I guess some people just live a more luxurious life. I just ordered a leather band from Monowear with brushed gold adapters & a gold buckle. Will post pics when it arrives.
Has anyone seen any 3rd party sport bands with a gold stainless steel pin? All the ones I've seen are silver stainless steel.

It looks like there's a dent on the top left corner.Here is my new AW. Just finished setting it up.
No thankfully it's just a trick of the light
No, that's definitely a huge dent!
Joking aside, it looks nice, I like it.
Got my Monowear leather band yesterday. The gold adapters are a shade darker than the aluminum gold watch (almost like a bronze in comparison) but you can only tell if you're really looking for it. The buckle is more of a shiny gold and doesn't match the watch, but this actually brings out the gold in the watch more & gives a classier look. The band feels strong, but if you're looking for a textured leather that's very obviously leather, you may want to look elsewhere. The texture of the band however goes very well with the matte finish of the watch.
I also have to mention the adapters fit perfectly. Almost...too perfectly. It's a little difficult to slide the adapters in since it's so snug. Actually got a tiny dent around the slot trying to insert them but it's no big deal.
Overall pleased with this purchase. I had the the Benuo black leather band which was great, but I will be returning it since the Monowear matches this particular watch so well. Almost double the price of the Benuo, but the specificity and quality is worth it in my opinion.

I'm a big fan of Monowear! They are a great company and almost necessary with the gold watch as you can get the adapters correct and have much more of a selection. You are correct that the adapters are slightly off. They blend in, after time you will not notice and most other people never will. The company has a low mid price point with good quality and tons of options. Quick delivery as well. Clockwork Synergy is another source. Totally different looks but similar in the way they do business. Apple makes so little to work with the gold.
I was looking at Clockwork Synergy too, but all the options on their website were hurting my indecisive brain
Apple doesn't show much love to the Gold Sport, which I'm okay with because I don't really want to spend Apple prices on my watch heh...
I do wish they offered more sport bands with the gold SS pin like the one the watch comes with though. It's such a minute detail that I don't think it'll ever be available. Haven't found any third party's with it either.
I've bought two actually, first i bought one for my wife, a 38mm 24k rose Gold Plated for about $600 ..... after all the compliments she got, i bought a 42mm 24k Gold Plated for myself (about same price) at debillasgoldplating about 3 months ago.... I just saw Walmart is now selling a few models of the 24k plated apple watch too.... I would recommend you get at least 2 bands, one for daily use, and one for special ocassions. Also, get a 2 year squaretrade protection plan which covers every single thing that could happen to the watch (even if gold plated)... i'm very happy about my purchase.
I'm curious to know how the gold plating has lasted for you? Any issues with the plating separating or fading? I heard some doing this in the past, with the plating slowly vanishing off the casing.
No fading so far, both watches still look as good as new... Anyway, the store offers a free 5 year warranty against gold fading, So my mind is in peace....
I just want to know why they can't make the cocoa band to fit the 38mm watches. That just annoys me. I would LOVE that color!
They have the cocoa sport for 38mm at my Apple store..... try calling them.
It's a great color!379 Stanford Shopping Center Palo Alto CA 943041-650-798 6180
Another dude with a gold aluminum Watch here. I started this thread about it in the Accessories forum:

I think if I ever get another Watch down the road, I miiiiight get the Space Gray, but I think the Gold is cool overall.

His name is Richard Simmons. He was a fitness instructor. Very flamboyant.
Ah right, looks like the Gold Apple Watch suits him then. You have to be pretty cool like myself to pull it off!
