How did you get the coloured circles of the Health icon, in the top right? I don't have options to change this to mutlicoloured like it is in your photo (the circles are all the same colour on my watchfaces)?!
Sounds like you use the Minimal watch face - this is Practical which has colors on all complications

I am using the 'Simple' watch face which does not give the option to have multicoloured circles (only all one colour). I have just checked on my Apple Watch (latest OS version) and no other watch face allows this either, other than the 'Mutlicolour Modular' watch face.

What do you mean by "Practical"??? There is no watch face called 'Practical'??
:confused:

He's not using Simple. He's using Utility.

I mimicked that configuration here, only I changed the color of the second hand to light orange. Controlling the color of the second hand also controls the color of the date, on the middle-right.

My watch arrived yesterday evening. I have had a bit of time to figure stuff out, but have more to sort. I was nervous about going with 42mm. I am pretty sure this is what I prefer. My first thought is that it was smaller than I expected (even though I've seen in in real life). I don't think going to 38mm would make AW that much less of a statement. Either way, it's an AW and will be noticed. I had already bought a second band. It's easier to put on watch with this band vs the sports band it came with. I guess I need more practice. I am having slight issue with the watch slipping a bit with the gold band. I have to keep it quite tight. But I do love the gold band with gold watch. And of course I had to do the obligatory St. Paddy's Face.

I’ve had my 42 Sports since May, its handy for what it does, but it still sucks for opening app’s, for notifications is okay sending prefixed replies, using the remote function for changing songs whilst driving and Apple Tv etc

I really enjoy changing the bands(straps) I’ve got about 8 in total, 5(blue,white,black, orange,red) rubber, Milanese, SS, and leather loop. I'm amazed at how BIG and UGLY ALL watches look when posted online, the look okay in the real world

This is such a true statement. So many posts of the watches here look like the watch is enormous sitting high on a wrist. In person, the same watches look like all other watches I have. Some/many pictures posted here do look good in pictures though. It seems like those who wear the watch really loose keeps the rounded bottom up on the skin while others wear it tight enough that the rounded bottom presses down to make the watch look flush on the wrist. Some maybe would have looked better with the smaller version but if you like it, doesn't matter what others think.
 
Space Gray Sport with a 3rd party Black Milanese Loop (that was C$50 on Amazon)

Is that a 3rd party band? I've never seen a gold Milanese Loop.

Does the top right piece if the adapter stick out?
The adapter is slightly loose. So if I push from the right it sticks out on the left and vice versa. I'd say it's tolerable. Depends on individual OCD level of course.
 
I'm currently using a case by Ozaki (http://store.ozakiverse.com/apple-watch/288-ocoat-wardrobe-apple-watch-case-42mm.html):

The steel bracelet band is a copy, from Trop Saint:

I've also got a case by JETech (off Amazon):

You know I was not a fan of cases before but that might reduce the number of screen shots of my watch that end up in my photo stream when I am golfing.
 
Can't reserve in-store here! :( Did you just walk in or you reserved?
I just walked in and asked if I could see any of the new straps and he said I was in luck and they had just received them! Had to cancel my online order as there was a 2 week wait.
