I never knew about this and got excited...yet just tested it and it still doesn't work!
[doublepost=1506366496][/doublepost]Tried again 3 times and worked this time.

Finicky :) thanks!

Finally opened the box this morning on my 42SBSS and I am still internally struggling if I want to exchange for the silver.

Also not a big fan of the black Milanese. Not so comfy and pinches a lot.

The gloss black does blend in nicely and feels great with my professional attire.

I am right there with you!

I often dress in business cloths, which is why I have always purchased SS Watches. I've always purchased the regular 42SS, but this time I went with the 42SBSS and while I like it, I'm just not sure I love it - for all the same reasons you noted. (Minus the Milanese band, I love that band)

I think internally I'm trying to will myself into liking it more because frankly, I just want change. In the end I may just go with the 42SS. Time will tell.....

Glad someone else is in this boat!!

I do love how sleek and stealth it looks as the glossy black is very classy but I really love how the SS pops and the added band variety.

I am leaning 60/40 on returning it for the SS but it has really grown on me as it was 80/20 probably this weekend.

I am suited and booted for work and have always had the SS and it goes so nicely as a dress watch I did try the Ceramic Series 2 but felt it didn't go with work clothes. However I am giving the white Ceramic Series 3 a try with a different mind set. Very happy so far :)
 
Yeah, it's not like you have to feed them through a loop or anything. They literally snap on and off with a release button.

I currently have an SS S0 but looking to upgrade to an S3 cause this thing is so slow and buggy now. I know I don't want another SS because I don't wear it for fashion anymore, only fitness, but can't decide whether to get Space Grey or Silver. My fiance had a SG S0 and she said she'd never get SG again because it, "Doesn't go with any outfits, or with any of the bands...very well." But I have seen it work nicely with some pairings, I definitely think the Silver offers a little more customisation potential. But then, having had an SS I quite like the idea of switching to a darker Watch.
[doublepost=1506109275][/doublepost]Anyone got a photo of a Space Grey Watch with the new white Nike+ band?

I'm still torn between the Series 3 space gray aluminum case or space black SS. Your fiancé is right in that the SG wouldn't go with many outfits and the SS is more polished look since I work in a professional environment.

I have the S0 SS, so I'm leaning toward the SB SS. I'm sure I'll change my mind, haha.

I bought both the SG aluminum and SBSS, and I'm keeping the SBSS. It's just a gorgeous watch and you can feel the upgrade in quality the second you look at it, and then put it on your wrist. Don't get me wrong the SG is great looking too, but the SBSS is more versatile to me because it's understated enough to wear it to the gym without looking flashy, but also works well in dressier situations with different bands. Could not be happier with it!
 
Haha, suuuuch an enabler! :p I love it. I was a little nervous the ML might be a little too much when I'm dressed casually (since it's polished steel) but from what I've read it looks fine with casual wear too? (I'm talking fitted skinnies and a tee or casual dress at most, not like... full on sweats, lol.)

Right now my classic buckle has been my go-to "dressing up the watch" band but I kinda want something different too and the ML is looking mighty tempting!

Yeah but the bands are easy enough to switch out and I particularly prefer the thicker 3rd party bands over Apple’s minimalistic flat silicone. I have no issues using them, I just like bumping up my style meter everyday!!!! Lol

I just ordered one like this in deep green. I can’t wait to see it. Green is my fave color!

Got my first 3rd party leather band from Amazon today. It's supposedly leather (and it does smell like leather, but who knows) and I'm pretty happy with the look and apparent quality. The connectors went in with ease and fit well and it's really comfy. I have an OEM classic buckle (saddle brown) which is still like new after tons of wear. I have no idea what the durability of this one will be having only had it for the evening, but for $24 (CAD) I'm not complaining!

Hey Lil Wrist!, I like it, never thought of using a Black leather band as I love and prefer some color. It does look classy!

Thank you! And I think that's the first time someone's called me Lil Wrist! I've always thought of myself as having large wrists

I love colour too. I needed something neutral though. Now that I know I like these particular third-party bands I might pick up some colourful ones too!

looks lil’ to me. I like making my own statements where Apple tries to make us all look the same down to app buttons. That just kills me, why on earth won’t they allow us more freedom with customization

But anyway, have a good night All

Post more pics!!!

Who knows? Unless it says, "genuine cowhide leather" or something along those lines, it could be goat, dog, etc! (just kidding, but who knows?!) ;)

Joking aside, I love third-party bands. Here's a good review on some of the more popular ones...

Todays new ceramic with Midnight blue woven strap
What watch face is this? I can’t find it on mine. Thanks!

That's the new LTE-only face. It'll show a set of signal strength dots in the middle of the face, just above the midpoint, like the one shown below...
