Anybody with a sport watch buying a more expensive band?

Im getting this one for my 42mm Space Gray Sport.

I love my blue leather loop on the space grey sport!

See! This is sharp! I work at a body shop, and what not. I want to use the black sports band at work, and get another band for dress. I like the look of this blue band! It compliments the watch nicely. Can you post a picture of the watch in this band but off your wrist?

I know that the more expensive bands are only really beneficial to the stainless steel watches, but is anybody who has a sport watch, going to buy a more expensive band? I got the 42 mm space gray, and I'm thinking about buying a leather loop. What do you guys think

I bought my SS with the black classic buckle and promptly purchased both a blue and white sports band. I like them all and it's nice to switch things up. I plan on getting a metal band at some point but for now, I've got my bases covered.

Yes, but not sure from Apple.

I have SG Sport and don't really like the sport band. I like the leather bands, but the obscene cost, silver trim, and somewhat inconsistent feedback, have me holding off till I get some adapters and get some quality watch bands.

i want the black leather one but i am an idiot who didnt check the prices before ordering my SS with a sport band so i didnt tealize it would have been cheaper to order that one to begin with # so now i am not getting it out of principal lol would have saved me 60 bucks

I got a SG 42mm sport and my black leather loop was delivered today! (Ordered on 24 April when the watch was delivered.
It looks great!

I can't attach more than 1 pic to a post apparently.

I would consider buying the SB SS link bracelet if you could order it as a stand alone item. Hopefully they change this in the future.

Glad you like it. It is from Monoweardesign and costs $119.99.

I was originally going to get the stainless steel with the link bracelet but then the prices came out and I was like forget that and then I tried on the Space Gray and actually loved it and finding this band is great because it gives me an alternative on the link bracelet for a dressier version of the Space Gray.

I think they are sold out now, but I am sure they will catch up with demand. Here is the link: http://www.monoweardesign.com/shop/black-metal

Yes, this is very sharp. I will most likely be getting this as well for my dress up. I also would like to get a white sports band.

Also, is the watch waterproof? I mean can you wear it when it rains?

Just be aware that the adaptor/lug looks nothing like that in real life. It doesn't curve to the shape of the casing like it shows in the photo but instead protrudes out quite a bit. There are quite a few photos in the accessories subforum. Some people don't mind that look but I personally cancelled my order because of that.

Here's the link to the thread.

In the Apple Watch video, when they showed the Leather Loop spinning around really slowly, he did say something about "We've used traditional leather, but in a new sports context..."

Could someone post pics of the space grey sport with the black leather loop please, preferably in bright outdoor lighting. Im trying to decide if I should pick one up myself.

Thanks

Thank you Honey Badger! I really appreciate it.

Got the silver sport. And bought the Milanese loop. Looks great IMO. And love the band.

 

[BravoRomeoHotel]

I ordered the Milanese for my SG Sport a couple days ago. Should be here June 5-12. I actually like the two-tone look, despite other opinions. I'll use the Milanese for dinners/social events/etc and my black sports band for everything else
