EXACTLY. The SS Packaging looks very nice and I love the Case in the box for travel and such when you remove it. They made another nice ass paper box.
I love it! An official Apple jewelry box, so happy with my purchase

Now THAT is packaging that looks to belong to a $1,000 watch and I personally think we shouldn't have to pay $10,000 for it. Hopefully Apple listens to feedback and ups the packaging next year or so.
First time posting. I've been reading along for awhile, but this box debate has got me intrigued.
The post about the SS with sport bands being defaulted to 38 S/M and 42 M/L seems to be true. On the Apple Store app the 38 is listed as fitting 130-200mm wrists and the 42 is listed as fitting 140-210mm wrists. So they should come in the square box as well.
As for the sport box pictured... I think it may be real. Design seems to match, it's just slightly different enough to be modeled for a different product line.

That box is so fancy! I hope that it really does come in that one! I don't see why it wouldn't since it wouldn't make sense for Apple to make different boxes for different watches. No matter what specific watch it is it is still an Apple Watch. Just like no matter which phone you get you still get the same box
It's leather wrapped and includes a charger. Considering how strict Apple is about their margins we will never see such sophisticated package for the non-gold versions of the watch.
Maybe they will make some version of it like an accessory

It's confirmed that they do.
One thing that does seem strange is that one picture looks like a square box and the other looks very rectangular...
I'm guessing that inside the box it's dual layered. The watch sits in the plastic tube packaging on top while the charger and other Apple goodies sits below that.
It's the only reason I can figure you need a box that deep and long.
Or, since this is a reseller this is a "pack" of watches. Impossible to tell without seeing the other end and if it includes the bar codes and serials.

Oh I see now. I was picturing the square one being similar to the SS box... My bad...
Apparently someone on the r/applewatch subreddit got billed, he also posted a picture for confirmation.

I don't want to get too excited though, this is just one person, and no one else has piped up saying they've been charged as well, yet.

I remember reading somewhere (either MacRumors or The Verge) that the box doubles as a charging stand. That could explain the large size.
Exactly. The edition has a fancy charging case, but who the heck cares about the packaging of the SS or sport model? CNET has a detailed unboxing on youtube and it's pretty standard, no frills
