I have no desire to wear dead animal skins on my wrist so rubber is for me.
Rubber shoes too?
I don't think they are using such weak magnets.
But it depends on your training. If you are just running, or stationary, it might be okay... but can I jump rope? Can I play sports like squash or soccer? Don't think so. I do HIT (high-intensity interval training) and I don't think that a milanese will work with that.
Note for people who want leather bands:

Quality leather doesn't comer waterproof, because that hides the beauty and softness of the leather.
If you want to trade that for waterproofness, you have to buy waxes like that, either in cream, or soap bars, or even in spray and apply it yourself. It's easy.
No, the rubber bands are actually heavier than the SS bands except the link bracelet. Don't believe me? Look it up.
Already looked it up way before posting my post. According to iMore the 42mm Milanese Loop is 41g and the Link is 75g. The black rubber band I referred to is 37g.
It's actually 40g for the 42mm black Sport band, just 1g lighter than the Milanese loop counterpart. In the 37mm size, the Milanese loop (as well as the leather bands) is lighter than the black Sport band.
Again, I'm going by what iMore is reporting. They have been a reliable source in the past. They are reporting 37g for the 42mm blank band so I'm going with that. You believe whatever other site you want to believe.
Well. I'm buying the Apple Watch Sport primarily for exercise, so yes indeed!
How about a more reliable source straight from the horse's mouth?
I hope they really do come with two bands in the box. I'm gonna snag my husband's smaller black band.
They don't come with two bands... please be serious.

1 band with buckle and 2 bands with the hole
Only problem there is that they'll fit oddly on the wrists of some people (where they close) if everyone has the same length buckle band.
Its so hard to tell in this picture, but is the model wearing the Space Black SS or the SS?
1 band with buckle and 2 bands with the hole
Obviously, at a value of $49 a pop... they're not including two with every single of the very cheapest Watch available! Hate to resort to such an overused phrase but... that is DEFINITELY not "Apple-like".
Bet you the rubber band costs less than $2 to make.
This is the strongest argument suggesting the existence of two full bands. However, the strongest evidence arguing against the existence of two full bands is that the fastener has only 38mm or 42mm stamped on it. Nobody to date has uncovered evidence that it has S/M or M/L stamped on it.
We'll find out sooner or later.

Space Black.
This. The manufacturing cost of the sport band has got to be dirt cheap. It wouldn't add that much to the overall cost to add another full band in the packaging.
It took me a moment to realize there was a watch in that picture!
