Hi, so I’m thinking of getting the gold Apple Watch but it seems like it’s really limited to the 3 bands it comes with (gold milanese, stone sport band and pink sand sport loop).

Does anyone reckon it could be used with any other colours/bands?

Thanks

You can easily wear either a brown or black strap with the gold model.
I have a couple of gold finish standard watches and they have a brown leather on one whilst the other has a black leather straps.
Both look stunning.
 
Also considering it, but definitely need to see specific strap options paired with it first.
 
Gold or Silver? Been thinking a lot about it. I have an Apple bracelet that I really like. I just can't visualize how it would look with the gold. I think my best plan is to order the gold and if I don't like it, return it and get the silver. There is always the chance that the vapor deposited gold finish will rub off after a while.
 
The gold color is definitely a bit of a dilemma for me.

Although, this Apple gold appears to have a darker tint so it might not look so flash.
 
Ya I like the darker tinted gold.

Will get the sports band version of it and use it with the black sports band

I had gold series 1 and have plenty of different bands and some after market faux leather ones which look really nice,

Don’t get why it only comes with pink bands when in past it’s come with a grey and blue strap,

I just hope it’s the same shade of gold
 
Any of the leather loops or sport loops would look just fine with it. Same with the sport bands. Who is really looking at that tiny dot of silver or dark metal on the back of a sport band?
 
How to the silver lugs look up against the gold? Debating this myself, as I really like the gold. Coming from the ceramic (which looked bad, IMO, with the leather bands with silver lugs), I am a bit concerned. I think it could look really nice?
 
I’m hoping someone will sell SS gold lugs to replace the lugs I have for my SS AW. Especially the saddle brown classic buckle.

I have the aluminum series 3 gold, I have a ton of bands and to be honest no one notices the silver lugs. You will if ur staring at it but it’s fine
