I’m loving all the red dots. Too bad I’ll never need a cellular watch

You can buy red dot stickers for a few $ - I've never seen one in real life, but if the material is thin enough no one will spot the difference ;)

Ceramic Grey and Aluminum

I'm curious how well the ceramic grey version is selling. For me, this color option is not very attractive and doesn't match with most band colors. Of course, color choices are always a personal thing, but compared to the white ceramic watch, where almost everything looks great to match, this brown-grey one would never be my choice. Anyone going for the grey ceramic version, different opinions?

Dark Aubergine Classic Buckle with my SS Series 3. Not nearly as sharp as I was hoping. I find it pretty muted. The Dark Aubergine phone case I saw in store was much nicer. I'm probably going to return this.

That looks dark blue but the Apple store pics seem to show that it’s dark purple
 
Thanks for posting the Aubergine, I really wanted that one at first and I don’t like it at all in real pictures. You saved me $149!

Ended up picking up the last of the Apple’s older black woven nylon design in stock at a local Best Buy. I’m not a fan of the new woven nylon black checkered and black striped designs, so I figured It would be best to pick up the older style while I still can. Never know when/if Apple will rerelease solid-ish colored woven nylon bands in the future...

Nothing really special about the combo, but I like the look nonetheless

I did the exact same thing, bought last years band as i don't like the new version. Luckily found one in Argos in the UK.

I love my combo. I bought the black woven nylon band for my S3 Space Gray 42mm at a fraction of Apple's price. This looks like the traditional black color of Apple's same band.

Definitely considered getting a cheaper nylon band on Amazon. My gut swayed me to go with Apple's own band instead.

I view the Apple Watch bands as I view any other fashion item. There are always going to be great quality copycat/counterfeit versions of popular clothes/accessories brands, but there's still something special/satisfying knowing you bought/use the real thing.
