This pretty much makes the sport watch the worst possible choice. I don't want to be stuck with a rubber band. If I got one it would be the stainless steel.
Got a tip for us?

"Has the widest range of bands available." when speaking about the stainless steel one.
Not once did he talk about customizing with different bands or buying more for different occasions. You would think someone would have mentioned all the different customizations you could do with different bands as this was one way for 
to make a lot of money.
to make a lot of money.Considering the range of prices on the Watch model, who is going to get a Sport and then drop $500 on a band?

Yes he did. When that lady Christy came on stage, she said she used rubber for her training, and the blue modern buckle as her fashionista.
I'm pissed I still don't know how much the one I want specifically is (Milanese loop)

Christy Turlington Burns had at least two bands for her Watch. I would assume she has the sport watch seeing as how it was exercise focused, but the pictures weren't exactly clear. But it does suggest that you can buy the bands separately.
How is that possible, considering the WOMAN THEY HAD UP ON STAGE talked about how she switches between bands based on what she's doing?

Prices are in accessories on Apple store, Milanese Loop is 199$ in Canada

So they are interchangeable. I saw the release buttons on the back of the watch on the Apple site just a few minutes ago, so it makes sense.
This makes me feel a lot better. If I'm on the fence about the fancier bands, I could start with a stainless steel with a sport band, and then buy a nicer band later on (maybe as a birthday gift for myself the following year).

Nothing on the website mentions compatibility. I guess when he spoke in my quoted comment he was talking out of the box most bands available.
Seems like they are interchangeable
