I'm addicted to bands!

After having multiple bands on order with apple (blue leather loop & milanese loop & BSB) I decided to cancel all 3 and take the plunge and get the link bracelet. It's the band I wanted originally and IMO all third party bands at the moment are hideous. I have a black classic buckle and a green sport band already. I can't wait to get my link.
Me too !! I have the modern buckle in black, the Milinease loop and a white sports band. I like the white sports more than I thought I would.
I have a 38 Sport in Europe, so I'm very limited in what bands I can get right now. 
That's really been the only negative of the early adopter experience for me so far!
I can't wait until third party bands become widely available. Mine came with the white Sport band, and I'm considering a black one to tide me over until I can find an all-metal one which properly matches the finish of the Watch and which I can have shipped to me without doing a song and dance over customs.
The ability to easily swap bands is one of the big selling points of the Watch for me --probably the only one I haven't been able to avail of yet-- so I have no doubt I'll become a band addict as soon as it's feasible for me to do so.

Unfortunately I returned the Milanese Loop. I thought it looked too grey against the stainless steel and was not a good contrast. I have ordered the Milanese Loop from MonoWear though. That at least seems to be more consistent with the SS finish. I've also ordered a link from Amazon with SS finish as well. Can't wait for them to arrive. I ordered my 38mm SS with the classic leather buckle.
My black sport band has been charged! But it's still processing
Mine took a couple of days.
here's some more for you to choose from

EDIT: I see Esoom mentioned monowear above. My brother ordered the brown leather to go with his space gray 42mm. We'll see how it looks and how the quality is when it arrives!
I personally will get the black metal once my 42mm Space Gray gets here in June! And I'm curious how the leather will look, as I'd want a leather one too
I like that red leather Monowear one a lot - thank you both for mentioning them.
My experience is almost the same as yours. I love the link bracelet but was turned away by the price at first. I got my classic buckle on day one and I love it but I just miss the feel of stainless steel bands on my wrist. Finally placed the order yesterday and can't wait to get mine.
The price is the only thing that has deterred me this long. £379 sure is a spicy meatball
When did you order yours? I ordered the band by itself this afternoon and am very anxious for it to arrive. I have a black classic buckle, which I really like, but it's the opposite of durable, so I'd like to put it away and save it for when I wear a button-down.
I'm still waiting for my extra Milanese loop and pink spots band to ship. I'm sure I'll be addicted to bands once they arrive.
I tried on the pink modern buckle last weekend and loved it. Normally I find metal on the underside of my wrist is annoying for typing at a desk but trying it out for the small period in the Apple Store I couldn't feel it at all. I think the colour is just right. A purchase for later in the year, assuming my SS turns up and I don't return it...

check out the monowear bands! I ordered a leather one for my 38mm. I'ts coming mid June though so in the meantime I bought a cheap £10 band off amazon
I ordered a WSB on 4/16 and a GSB on 4/27. They both arrived yesterday. Looks like the orders have sped up for them, though.

Wow, nice link! I have been hoping for a brown band, and the monowear looks really tempting.
I'd really like to see an Apple Watch "Station" where you can keep your watch together with all of your bands. Grab the band you want, pick up your watch body off the charger install and go.
Maybe even a band travel case.

very tempted! I definitely want to try the black metal link band when my 42mm Space Gray arrives in over a month! I just want to see what it looks like in person first. Price sure beats Apples'. Quality? We'll see I guess.
EDIT: my brother ordered the brown leather one for his SG 42mm watch. When it arrives, I might try to snag a few pics and post them up here.
I did the absurd and ordered the SS Link Bracelet. Also bought an extra Hue Light bulb for 50 bucks. I'm poor now.
