Difference between the Sports Band and the Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band?

[kat.hayes]

I have a series 4 black with the plain black sports band. I want to try to replicate this look with the new one for the lowest price possible. I'm also getting the cellular option.

1. What is the difference between the plain black Sports Band and the Anthracite/Black Nike Sports Band? is it just improved breathability?
2. Instead of black, am I ordering Space Grey this time around for the watch and a black band if I want the black look?
3. Is aluminum the least expensive case option? I think I spent around $420 new for my current series 4 when it was new, so I'm guessing it was the least expensive case option?

Thanks!

Never liked the standard sport bands, they are a bit sweaty & overweight in my opinion. One of the reasons I went to Nike watch was of course extra watch faces, but also the bands seem a lot more comfortable & lighter on the wrist when you sweat or get wet swimming or in the shower. Also they seem to able to be more creative with colours. ?

1 - The perforated nike bands let your skin breath better than the non-perforated sports bands. This has the greatest benefit with sweaty workouts.

2 - Space Gray is the nearest to black for the aluminum case watches

3 - yes, Aluminum is the least expensive case option.
