Do you (or anyone else) know why the black sport band and white sport band are different weights? According to this article, (in 38mm size) the white is 47g and the black is 37g.

The theory is the lighter the color, the more dense (heavier) the material must be in order not to pick up dirt. Black sport bands don't show dirt as easily so it can be less dense/lighter than colored and white sport bands.

Where do you get the weights for the sport bands? I looked on Apple.com and couldn't find the info.

It's right there on apple.com Watch landing page under See all models > click on one of the Sport models > scroll to all the way down to the bottom.

Photoshop has been my friend these last couple weeks.

Black SS with Black Sports Band might be my favorite combo yet!
