Would you say it's more of a banana (paler) yellow or a bumble bee (richer) yellow?
Great comparison. Def more banana yellow on the spectrum than a richer Bumblebee. Obv images used on Apple.com aren't totally accurate.
Still..yellow is a gender neutral band color. I really want a military green color and some dark grey sport band colors next...
Damn. I was hoping it was more on the bumble bee side.
Not that I think certain colors shouldn't be worn. I'd wear a pink milanese loop.
Decided to take the plunge while in Best Buy last night since they are currently $100 off. I had a combination of an extra $100 off in rewards and gift cards. Now to take it for a test drive!
I've been debating for nearly a year and after no release this March, I finally made the plunge.
I'm falling in love with Sport and use it primarily for fitness and to stay on top of my day.
Also this is my first post as a longtime ('06), behind the scenes, lurker.

Sounds like a good deal...I made the mistake of letting my certificates expire. Could've grabbed a sport band for like $10.
Here's mine, Black 42, SS Black.
Got myself a Saddle Brown Classic Buckle for my Apple Watch Sport. The stainless steel on that aluminum case doesn't actually bother me as much as I thought it would. 
Anyway, really liking this one. Previously had the White Sport Band (included with the watch itself), but got quite bored at it. I think the Classic Buckle looks much more distinguished. The Sport Band made the watch look like a regular sport watch, but I don't even do sports that much. So I went for something more occasional and well... The Classic Buckle seemed like the best choice.

that looks very clean...especially with what looks like a denim shirt.
yeah I would of done the same, was it worth it? is it as slow as people say it is?
If by slow you're referring to apps loading, the issue is drastically overblown. I've had several Apple Watches, and while I've had my issues with them, slowness hasn't been one of them. Workouts have always been prompt, as have messages, music, mail, and similar.
I will say, however, that I've been far, far happier with the stainless model than with either of the sports I had. It works with a lot more bands, adapters are easy to find, and the feel is much, much more high end.
