Got the Series 1 Gold/Concrete 42MM from Target with their sale. Does anyone have any good sites or recommendations for Bands? Apple's are insanely expensive and Amazon seems to have just a bunch of junk ones. Ideally I'd like a brown leather band to match my iPhone case, but I'm also open to a good Nylon one as well, as it fits my style.
Check out the nomad leather Watch bands. I ordered the brown leather modern build for my space grey series 1 that I scored on Black Friday.
 
You're absolutely right! I pulled the trigger. I'll use this one until the series 3 comes out hopefully with a redesign and more compelling features. Stainless steel does look really great so that sold me too

These are my exact thoughts. Love my Apple Stainless Watch. But until a complete redesign for version 3 of the Watch is released, there is no telling the Apple Watch Gen 1 Watch physically apart from the Series 1/Series 2.

Actually, Series 1 42mm gold has a brown band. 38mm series 1 is the one with the gray band.

Yeah, I bought the Series 1 42mm gold sport with the cocoa (brown) band from Target online on Friday, it was too good to pass up. Now looking on Amazon, it looks like most of the aftermarket bands come with either the black or silver connector. I'm hoping the gold doesn't mess me up. The one leather band I saw with a gold connector was a very light colored leather, I was hoping for a darker brown leather.
 
I finally caved and bought two Series 1s for my wife and myself at the Target sale. The Target near us had plenty of stock even on Saturday night, when we bought them.

Clockwork synergy adapters (they call it brushed gold) match my Gold Series 1. They also have black adapters that look good with black leather bands.
