Quite simply is the S/S going to be any good in the gym or while working out? Will it look out of place?

I'm sure that it will be fine. One of the reasons I got the sport model is because I found it to be much lighter than the stainless steel version, and when I run being as light weight as possible is important to me. Some may not notice much of a difference between the two watches, but for me it was a factor.

i would just grab a sports band it's only $49 use that for working out. fitness watch straps are solid for a reason so sweat and dirt doesn't get trapped into between links. A lot easier the sanitize the sports band. As for looking out of place yes, it would

Apple disagrees that it looks out of place.

Even with a sport band on the S/S i was worried it would look out of place in a gym

look at some of the fitness watch designs... zero are pretty / elegant looking. it just performs a task. the rubber sport band fit perfect in a gym/workout arena. link, leather, etc. band are more for everyday/business/dinner wear in my opinion. Apple gives us the easy option to swap out bands for a reason. why not use it.
