Lol, i just did this about an hour or so ago. Had on my black sports band and decided to change it up. Put on my classic buckle for a couple minutes and decided heck, I want to wear my blue leather loop. Which I currently am rocking right now. Was about to switch it up again about 15 minutes ago just because it was on my mind! My leather loop and black sports band get the most usage, but also have the previously mentioned classic buckle, as well as a blue sports band- which is what I initially purchased. Love 'em all!
Got a tip for us?

I'm the same. I usually work out with the wsb even thought I have the black one too. I normally wear my milanese or a leather band to work. Now that I have a HOCO, that is one if my go to's. I have two leather loops but haven't worn those like I thought I would :/.
Most of the time I use the milanese loop band, but I put the black sport band on probably 4 times a week, when I work out. So I swap pretty often. I kind of want a leather band as well, so that would only increase the swapping in the future, we'll see.
I only have two bands and they are both sport bands, one black and the other white. The black band is my go-to band and ill occasionally switch to the white one. I really want to get a metal one or a leather one but I've been waiting for some more variety in third party bands because Apple's are quite pricey.
I think you have the exact same bands as me; wsb, bsb, milanese, black leather loop and Hoco. I also have 2 from clockwork synergy and a red Italian leather band (random).
I can literally swap bands up to 3 times a day depending on outfit, activity or mood.
I have the SBSS version with matching link bracelet, and a BSB that I find myself rarely using. The Link bracelet handles sweat much better than I thought it would; I find that (ironically) I take the watch off completely while we're in the field doing PT. Home workouts, I keep the link bracelet on.
Would buy a SB Milanese Loop if they offered one.

My wife does that with shoes and handbags. Not watch bands, though. At least not yet!
Personally, I don't swap bands. I'm a steel link band guy, so I replaced the black sport band with a black steel link from Hoco, and will stay with that.
It's a sickness! I have milanese loop, HOCO 5 bead, monowear red leather, monowear black leather, leather loop red, leather loop blue, wsb, bsb and trying to get my hands on a modern buckle

. Sheesh!
I have only had my second band (a brown leather band from Clockwork Synergy) since Saturday. It's Summer and I commute by bicycle. I don't mind sweating a bit in a leather band... it help soften it up, but I don't want to sweat so much in it that it gets trashed. I'm pretty surprised at how easy it is to swap straps, so if I'm going on a long sweaty bike ride I will switch to the blue Sport band. Otherwise I will just bike in whatever band I'm already wearing. The leather band is my default, although I do think the sport band looks good so I am sure at times I will just leave it on. I also have a knockoff of the black leather-loop on order.
I think I will treat the bands a bit like shoes. Sometimes you put on the right shoes for your activity or to go with your clothes, but much of the time it just doesn't matter so you wear what happens to be convenient (the shoes I wore yesterday that are still out, or the watch band that is already attached).
