I’ve ordered my first Apple Watch - gold, stainless steel - with gold Milanese and dark cherry bands. What are some other good color and style choices for the gold ss?
 
I have ordered it with midnight leather link, and i like that combo
Have the dark cherry too, and the chalk white.

Older bands i have are black sport band 1st gen and red sport band 3rd gen, and the black sport loop, blue nylon, black nylon, and a coffee nylon. All look good.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. It sounds like the gold ss is maybe more versatile than I thought and will work with several band colors and styles. It’s supposed to be delivered today so I’ll find out soon.
 
marigold solo loop, abyss blue braided solo loop, midnight leather link
 
I use the mdnight leather link and it fits nicely with the subtle gold of the watch. My watch face is black, and with the black band, the gold watch part is a nice accent, very subtle.

I also have a gold Milanese loop, but...that's a little too much gold :)
 
Couple of pics to give you some examples :)

The gold watch with the Apple space black stainless steel link bracelet looks killer. I’ve seen several pictures of this combo.
I had this combo but not sure I think with S4 gold tone it suited better: in certain lighting it looks great. Some opinions I heard are either they love it or think it’s tacky .. I’m not sure why though as the classic watch market has lots of black / gold combos?

So many good suggestions already, and I am sure you're overwhelmed, but let me put in a strong vote for Plum and Mallard sport bands. Dark cherry is great, imho, but plum is sublime. And mallard is so underrated by everyone who assumes it's a dark teal variant. With Gold SS, Mallard is killer!
