Good choice. Space black stainless is highly durable and yet looks really nice paired with a brown leather band as well.
Got a tip for us?

Two more days to my in store date. We will see. Kind of hope it doesn’t make it and I can get a gift card out of the deal. I guess I should have had it shipped to the house instead of in store pick up.
Picked up the brown modern leather strap from Nomad with the black hardware.
Actually very surprised how great this combo looks on the space black. Also very lightweight and looks great with my suits when wearing brown shoes/belt.
I don't see needing many other bands outside this one, my black milanese, and a sport.
May want to grab a link in the future but no rush.
The overblown "space black doesn't match with anything!!!!" comments are kind of overdone for someone like me who is a minimalist and won't be wearing a huge number of bands. But just my viewpoint.

Anyone who ordered from BBY - does "Preparing" mean it's getting ready to ship, or is that just a holding status? Mine says expected by Nov. 3, but it changed to "Preparing" last night.
Edit: Well, nevermind. Apparently "Preparing" means they are about to ship it, because it just shipped today. Seems Best Buy is way ahead of their estimates.

I had pre-ordered from B.B. with an expected delivery for in-store pickup of tomorrow. But last weekend I was checking the stock of B.B. stores within 1.5 hours of me and I found a Best Buy Mobile that had what I wanted (space gray aluminum 38mm LTE) so since I had Columbus Day off, I went and picked it up, and canceled my pre-order. It seemed like the Best Buy Mobile stores have more in-store stock, with the gold/pink combo being the easiest to find. At least geographically near me!
i placed my friday OCT 6 .store pick up said OCT 27. my order still says Order Received now if i check onlines says i can order and have it buy oct 14th lol. wonder when i’ll really get mine
I ordered my Space Black SS Series 3 on Monday, expected ship date was Nov. 3, it shipped today.
Well, I just ordered a Series 3 42mm Stainless Steel with an expected to ship by date of November 3rd. Let's see how long it will actually be before it ships from Best Buy.
REALLY? store pick up?
i called B.B. they said my order will stay received untill it is ready to pick up then they will run my card and i can get it. that’s dumb
Wow. Ordered the same on September 27th and have had zero progress...
I ordered on the 19th with in store pickup by Oct 13th. So far no movement so we will see. I guess if it doesn't come and I can get a gift card out of it then great. Otherwise had I ordered att I would have had it by now even with ordering a couple weeks after. I only did best buy since I had a gift card now I kinda regret it. Oh well. 38 ss sb att
I got an email this evening after I called this afternoon. I was supposed to receive it by today and now it says by nov 12 or they will just cancel it. Unbelievable. Looks like I’ll cancel and just go with att.
I doubt mine will come next week, but I used gift cards and reward certificates, so I have to wait it out. Hopefully they come through!
The mobile stores seem to get better stock. But the lte models are the ones tough to get. The sport ones not too difficult.
damn bestbuy gift cards/store credit. i have no choice but to wait it out. went from 10/13 to 11/12
