Hello Apple Watch peeps! Looking for info on whether the "new" black milanaise band is colored all the way through or if it is just painted as the 3rd party ones are. I recently just bought a 3rd party but I know it will not look good for long. Hoping the Apple version is... You get what you pay for.
 
Does anyone have any photos of the new light pink sports band? I saw it in one of the new ads & seriously thinking about adding it to my collections!!

Also for those who purchased the new nylon bands, are they easy to switch out? I was on the fence, but after seeing some photos in this thread, they look pretty cool. Just curious because I've heard some rumors they are harder to attach / detach.

Had some issues early but they seem OK now. I have a gold and black nylon. They are nice and light. Very secure feeling.
 
Just ordered the Space Black Milanese from JETech. Will post pics when I get it.
Please do so. What I am really interested in is if the JEtech Milanese bands' thickness is comparable to the Apple ones. I ordered a black Milanese band from a different [unknown] manufacturer a couple months ago and I feel that it is just too thin to look good.

If and just if you remember it feel free to tag me (@Rok73) in your future post with pics so I get a notification.

need to find a band thats not giving me a rash on my wrist, both the classic leather and sports band have given me an allergy rash, I've ordered a third parts ceramic one, so hopefully that'll be ok

Which version of the watch is this? That is gorgeous!
 
How can you insist a sport band is lighter than the watch when these figures compiled from apples official specs show different...

I have both a sport and SS. Are you telling me I shouldn't be able to feel the difference? The difference in case weight is 15G.
Not 100% sure, but Apple's figures could include both S/M and M/L sizes, obviously only one of which would be worn.

That would both make sense, and make no sense at all!

You have a good point. Perhaps this is why they don't release those figures anymore.

I've only had an AW for a little over a week now but I went for the Gold Sport 42mm with the midnight blue sport band. I think it looks great and I've only added this leather strap to it in the past few days. It's the vintage leather Jisoncase band from Amazon for £15.99 so was a great price and I think it looks nice. My only gripe is that the strap connectors are silver and I can only cinch it to the 2nd or 3rd holes at best (I'm a big guy) and the bands to hold the strap don't stay very well with that little of the strap past the buckle.

Also, after seeing the pics you guys have posted here I think I want that black Milanese loop for it too now... And maybe the matching gold :)
 
Haha :p I find using the crown more comfortable that way. :) I'm actually left handed however wearing the watch on my right arm feels uncomfortable so it's all a little off I suppose :p

I read somewhere the mic is more responsive wearing it that way….especially when wearing long sleeves.

Admittedly I haven't used the mic much, if I get a call through on my watch I tend to answer by phone as I'm usually in a public environment :) I may try it at home to see if I notice a difference as the one time I did use it I wasn't impressed by the mic.
 
My new Midnight Blue Classic Buckle. Sadly seems more black than blue in pictures but in person it definitely looks a dark navy/midnight blue. I love the quality and feel of the leather. :D

Looks great. I want one too, but this fall apple watch 2 should be presented. . . but I can not wait ... omg, what should I do?
 
Space Gray Sport with 3rd party SS Black Link band (the gap you see on the right top link is exagerated in this photo by the angle and the lighting outside) and then a Gold Sport with 3rd party Midnight Blue Sport band. The MBS band feels a touch softer than my Apple Black Sport band but certainly does the job.

Just an update on the Yesoo SB link bracelet. I have large wrists. The band when I received it was too tight. Not alot but enough to be uncomfortable in a short period of time. I looked all over Amazon for "extra links" to order for the band. Could not find them. Contacted the seller. They advised that they don't actually sell extra links but would try to help me.

They sent me a complete second bracelet for my watch. I pulled a link out of that one and inserted it in my original band and it is now a nice and comfortable fit. Huge kudos to Yesoo for going to this much effort to satisfy a customer. I can say with pretty good comfort that if you buy a band from them (or anything else for that matter) they will make sure you are happy!
