So is the Space Gray on the Watch the same shade as iPhone's Space Gray or darker as it seems to appear in your photos?
It's way darker. Honestly, it's exactly how the iPhone 5's black option was.
Hope the anodization holds up this time, because the 5 was beautiful but ripped itself apart in weeks.
Those leather loops are really the only bands (other than the sport bands obviously) from this first wave that would work well with the Sport. I'm just not sure they're really worth $150. I think I'll wait to see what some of the third party options are.
Then they should have called it Slate. Giving it the same name as Space Gray is misleading.
i mean you really only need a sports band and a dressier band. I personally think its just fashionable more urban look. Even if i was getting the stainless steal i would probably get the leather loop. I will probably grab a white sport band though. I am not a fan of the black one.
I was originally going for the SS with black leather loop but decided I couldn't justify the cost. On a whim I tried this combo as a mock up and thought it looked great! Therefore, at 8:03 (UK time), after getting the SG sport, I went back on the store and ordered a black loop as an extra strap. So pleased as, from your pic, it looks as good, if not better than the mockup!
I got in on the first delivery window and the loop is due 28th April so I can slum it with the sport strap for a few days!
i think it's the length and type of hair you have.
if you have really thick hair, it might not get caught. but short, thin hair is the worse.
I've preordered the 42mm stainless steel model with the sport band but I also preorder right after the blue leather loop as a secondary band option although i was on the fence about it. Yesterday when I went for my try out appointment I tried on the 42mm SS with the blue leather loop and thought it looked great. I'm glad I preordered it. The black one looks nice too but as I got the black sport band with the watch I wanted to get a different colour for the second band. I also like the fact the loop is unusual and very different from a normal watch strap.
I think this is going to be the "new" Space Gray. The new MacBook is the same color. I checked it out in the store and its not quite as dark as Slate was but its much darker than the iPhone/iPad SG. Personally I wish it was the same as the current color. I think the contrast between that and the black bands would be great. I ordered a silver sport instead, but Im gonna pick up a black band for it like this.

Interesting that they've changed the Space Gray color for the third time. Darker on the original SG iPad, lighter on the newer SG iPad to match iPhone's Space Gray, then it became much darker on the SG Watch.
I'd love it if the iPhone 6s switches to the darker SG. I've never liked the lighter SG and always wished it was darker like the original SG iPad.
