So I got the 40mm blue coming Saturday but feel I may have limited Myself in colour choice for bands... what sort of colour ways will you be getting for your blue?
this is also my first Apple Watch so pretty hyped for it.

I do like the look of the nike Blue mango strap and also the navy sport loop, do the straps/loops come loose easily? Or are they secure?

I thought that too, but then I was playing around on the Apple site where you can switch bands and felt that EVERY color looked good with it. Every one!!!

After playing around for a while in the Apple Watch Studio, I’ve found a few bands that look really good with it in my opinion. I personally really like the look of the (PRODUCT)RED bands with the blue watch.

However, simply because it’s not a neutral color, the blue watch isn’t going to look great with every band, and there’s some limitation to which bands don’t clash with it. It’s nice to think, though, that Apple probably picked each of the new fall colors to look at least okay, if not great, with the blue Watch.

Deep Navy Sport Band
Pink Citrus Sport Band
Cactus Sport Band
Surf Blue Sport Band
(PRODUCT)RED Sport Band
Inverness Green Sport Loop
Deep Navy Sport Loop
Charcoal Sport Loop
Neon Lime Sport Loop
California Poppy Leather Link
Deep Navy Solo Loop
Charcoal Braided Solo Loop
Atlantic Blue Braided Solo Loop
(PRODUCT)RED Braided Solo Loop

All of Apple's straps are very very secure with the exception of the Leather Loop / Leather Link which are secured by magnets. For the Leather Loop / Leather Link - day-to-day, 99% of scenarios they are fine... but if you are playing sports or have continuous aggressive arm motions, there is a slight chance they come loose.

I found the same thing you did. Most of the bands look great with the blue. My fav and the one I ordered was the silver Milanese. Looks super sharp with the blue.

I'm getting "unavailable" for 44mm blue. Any idea when it will be avail? Or could it be band choice (blue sport).?

Looks like the graphic Milanese. I went with the silver Milanese. Was torn between the two of them.
