I purchased mine through Amazon. Fits very nicely, feels great and looks very close to the real one unless you get really close. You can see some minimal flash molding lines on the edge, and the metal post material is less polished. Other than that, it's pretty spot-on.

What brand did you purchase from on amazon?
 
You just totally killed it with that combo...looks amazing. I'm going to hopefully pick up a marine blue CB this weekend, I wonder how the 2 blues compare to each other.

I never got the chance to check out the Marine Blue in person. Might pick up a used one. The patina on my Sea Blue leather case is amazing. Hoping my band gets to the color of my case in the future.

I have this band too, don't wear it very much for some reason. I love the color combinations with this one

I just don't have a lot of things that go with it. But I have a daughter now, so pink things remind me of her.

So I wear it when I do get the chance.

Thanks



Thanks a lot - I actually quite like the look and feel of pairing my Apple Watch with a bracelet. Can't find any pictures of people pairing the Apple Watch with either rope or leather bracelets though
I actually saw your post in the calf leather thread on this subject, and I'm positive I've seen a website that sells bracelets meant to go with the Watch. They sell bands as well, I'm trying to find it again...will let you know!

One of the places I do know off hand is Minardi bands. They make bracelets to go with their bands...I'm a fan of the eccentric look although you may not be. Anyway, here's the link:

Since the rumours of new Watch straps continues as an apparent March event looms, I really hope Apple finally put some space black adapters/buckle on at least one of the classic buckle straps. Preferably the black one. Or add a space black, gold or rose gold pin to some of the sport band colours. Finally, release a 38mm leather loop too. I don't see the reason there is not one yet.

That would be awesome. I can deal with clashing metals but I would be really nice to have some gold aluminum hardware.

I quite like the idea but those might be a bit big and much for me - maybe I'm searching a bit more for this kind of style (either rope like this or leather) - simple but adding a bit to the equation

Ultimate first world problem: Silver aluminium or SS for my first Apple Watch?!

Depends on what type you are and if you are used to wearing steel watches. I have been wearing mechanical watches for years, and chose the SS because of the increased feel of a premium product. Simply feels more like a "real watch" to me.

My first apple watch was an Aluminum sport and it was cool but.... i grabbed a SS on sale from B&H on black friday and I couldn't be happier... I will never go back to the aluminum. the SS just looks so much better with the metal and leather bands which I prefer, and I feel like I could wear it with a suit or to a fancy event whereas the aluminum kind of looked too sporty and out of place. So in my opinion definitely get the SS if you can swing the extra $$
 
Yeah I've found a lot of nice ones on Amazon and Etsy, but would just have liked some pictures of people wearing them with the Apple Watch (like the one above with a Panarei) just to get a feel for how it would look - The Apple Watch is a total different beast regarding look and feel, so would like to see some first.

Thank you! How long do you generally plan to keep an AW for? I do really prefer the look of the SS but it's harder to justify the extra cost when I know it's something I'll need to upgrade down the road. As I said above, my current watch is a Swiss one and when I bought it, it was an "I'll wear it for life" type thing, which is obviously not the case with technology. But if it'll run well for a good 3 years, the cost is much more justifiable to me vs if it were a one or two generation thing.

I plan to keep this watch until there is a complete design change, and I don't mean apple just making it thinner. So you figure about 2 or 3 years at least.
