Out of curiosity, anyone wearing silver SS with a sports band?

I currently have a space black Titanium (series 5) watch with the Edition grey sports band and I absolutely love the sports band.

Thinking of getting SS in silver and wondering if it would look odd/weird having a shiny silver SS with a dark grey sports band.

Any pics that people can share please?
 
I’ve had the silver SS for the past year and love the versatility that it affords. I’ve got a bunch of different sports bands so will be able to get some pics tomorrow (bed time here in the UK and just getting my MR forums fix in before sleep :) )
 
I had the original SS Apple Watch with a black sport band and have put other sports bands with it over the years. It looked fantastic with anything. It’s a versatile choice. My only issue with stainless steel is it’s a little heavier so the watch tends to sit low toward my wrist bone and so it gets wet when I wash my hands. My aluminum watch sits up higher and stays put and out of my way. My husband noticed the same when switching from stainless to aluminum.

This was a problem for me when I had the darker gold SS watch a couple of years ago. Soap residue discolored the case a bit. But that shouldn’t happen with silver stainless.

I’ve always preferred the look of sport bands when paired with SS. I started with the white sport band and have been rocking the Nike Pride band for at least a year. With so many color options, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
