So, just looking for someone else to confirm what I'm seeing. I'm planning on the $599 Black Aluminum Apple watch and class buckle strap. That combo is $749. Wouldn't it be better to buy the $599 and get the sport band and buy the other buckle separate? Still comes out to $749 but you would have an extra buckle. Am I missing something here.

I'm not sure I follow. The Black Aluminum model (Sport) is $399 with a sport band (black). The Classic buckle is $149.00 on it's own. So that's a total of $548.00 am I missing something? Where did you get the $599 price tag?

I thought I was missing something too, LOL.
 
The black stainless steel one comes with a black sport band for $599. Add the buckle for $150 and your at $749 for the watch, a sport band, and the classic buckle. They charge $749 for the watch with the buckle band included. Make sense?
 
Bands.....

Ya man but you said aluminum.

I was considering the stainless steel watch with the sport band and then purchasing the Milanese loop separately. The price works out the same I think

No, the only band+watch combo avaiable for the black stainless steel is with a black link bracelet.

There is a regular stainless steel watch with a black rubber band.

I don't know where you see this at? On Apple's site the SS Space Black case only comes with the Black SS Link bracelet for $1049 (38 mm) or $1099 (42 mm). There is no option for any other preconfigured setup.
