I walked into the Apple Store to buy a watch but couldn't decide on the SS link bracelet or the Black SS link bracelet. So I bought both!
Now one needs to go back, I have another week to make my decision.

I really like the link bracelet band but not really a fan of the black link bracelet, however my problem is I think the stainless steel watch face goes better with the standard link bracelet, but I don't think the stainless steel watch face goes as well with other bands as much as the black stainless watch face does.

So I'm thinking I may return both watches, buy the black stainless steel with black sports band, then buy the normal link bracelet. But I'm not sure?

What do you guys think?

i returned my Sport for the Space Black S/S 42mm with the Black Sport Band. Just picked up the Black leather loop band and absolutely love it.
 
Im really leaning towards buying the link bracelet and the Apple Watch SS Black. I think the band doesn't look out of place with the black watch face (although the SS watch face looks better with this band), but I think the black face goes better with other band choices.

But Im struggling to make a D
 
'Wasting' a watch on indecision seems to be an excessive abuse of material and financial resources.
 
I like the black SS the most, but to be honest I think the price Apple is charging is exorbitant and so I think the regular SS may be better money wise - at least for me.

If you damage the DLC coating you're screwed. If you scratch the SS you can buff it out yourself

I've only found a few reports of people scratching the DLC, is it really a problem or is it only happening few and far between?
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one who buys both when I can't decide lol

I really like the SS with that silver link band. Very nice. Then again, the black on black looks cool too....guess I'm not much help!!

You can't go wrong either way, both are very nice.
 
SS with SS link band. I don't like the mix and match metals, and I think the regular SS is more versatile.
