Anyone else thinks the watch is too pretty to use for the gym?

Um no. And it's very sweat resistant. I wash mine in the sink so what ever sweat you work up will be fine.
I used it at the gym tonight. Lots of banging around on the treadmill and on some other equipment, but nothing too major. The sapphire screen held up nicely.
I also sweat a lot, so I usually switch out my Milanese loop for a WSB. The sports bands are very comfortable and sweat resistant.

I have the Stainless Steel and feel it looks just fine. But I will switch to my Black Sports Band (from an Apple Leather Loop and a third party leather band) because I do sweat a lot - as my wife keeps reminding me - and in my eyes the material of the Sports Band should hold up better.
I do the same thing with mine. I wear my white sports band at the gym and use my milanese when I'm done.
This is why I decided to paint my Edition to the space grey type color.
Exactly the same boat here. You shouldn't get leather wet, anyway. I swap out my black leather loop for a black sports bands at the gym. Actually worse the sports band to Disneyland earlier this week, too. I find it to be a much more comfortable fit for extended use (I was awake for nearly 20 hours, and had the watch one for almost the entire time), or uses where sweat is likely.
It is water proof to begin with. And I've worn Stainless Steel watches to workout in for years and never seen any indication of usage.
Sports bands seem to be in stock in Apple stores now. You can walk in and buy one on the spot. The Waterloo, ON store had stock on Saturday.
Moving my arms going from different positions on the floor. I'm assuming that's how it happened.
Doing side planks on one elbow puts a lot of stress on your elbow and wrist. I'd be cautious too.
In general, I would not wear the AW anywhere that I would not wear a dress watch. The AW is not a rugged device-- it is somewhat delicate at the edges where the screen is exposed, and it is only IPX7 water resistant. If you would ordinarily wear a rugged, plastic watch for an activity, then leave the AW behind.
My exceptions are for safer activities like cycling and running. A dress watch would be useless anyway. But the AW gives you cool data, and there is low risk of impact or wear that would negatively affect the Apple Watch.
