Got my 44mm SB SS with Milanese Loop yesterday. Loving it!
I got the sport band but I might go with the milanese after the fact, just scared since it has the same DLC on the band and can scratch the watch.
Here is mine with black Milanese loop from amazon. What do you guys think?
I've been haunting ebay, and I found a space gray link bracelet last night to go with my 40mm gold SS. I'm so excited!
I had a similar band for my pre-Apple Watch, and I was thinking about that band a few days ago and wondering where I could find something similar for my AW. I'm so glad you posted this! I'm going to look into it.
ETA: I've found a variety of possibilities on Amazon. Is that a 20mm strap?

Good for you to admit that lmao, so many people I see with watch models that are way too big for them
What size wrists do you have? I'm in a similar situation, can't decide on what size to go for.
What’s the link to this band? Thanks! Looks great btw!Here is mine with black Milanese loop from amazon. What do you guys think?
Here you go. Had it on for a day now. Not bad for the price

I love my SB but there's something about the Silver SS and the mirror like end on the crown that do it for me.. Damit
Series 4 Stainless Steel 44mm with Milanese Loop from my Series 0.
I'll have to post some shots of my new Blue Horizon Sport Band and Storm Gray Sport Loop later. Taking close up shots of the Watch makes it look bigger on my wrist than it actually is. That being said, I had spoken before about Apple making it even bigger to 46-48mm, but looking at this new display I think 44mm with a further bezel reduction would probably be fine, and at most 46mm is the biggest case size I would buy and I would probably want to try it on first to make sure.

Same problem - can't decide on SBSS or SS . SBSS looks really cool, but SS has better band compatibility (not concerned about durability in my decision making). Many bands I have are paired with silver lugs which look weird against the SBSS... However, SBSS is different from all of my non-smart watches that are SS so its nice to have something different. Torn...
Anyone else notice a difference in the black bands? I finally got around to setting up my S4 space black SS watch and comparing the two. First thing I noticed is that the bands are different. The new one is more gray and not pure black.
Yeah mine is a 20mm watch! DM me and I'll link you to the one I got

It's called monogram, allows you upload your own photos
LOL! I did not like the Milanese band AT ALL when it was first released—I really thought it looked cheap and insubstantial. This year I went ahead and bought the band with my watch and I have to say it is really beautiful in person and very comfortable! I have a Link Band in stainless for my series 2 watch—and while that is pretty and impressive looking in its simplicity, it is not really comfortable to wear for a long time. And I typically wear my watch for a full 18-24 hours before I recharge.
For leather bands, I am not crazy about the Apple offerings for men, and I don't want to pay $150 for a 'deployant' band. Honestly, that hardware costs like $2.
I am buying leather bands from Monowear. I think they're well-made, though this will be my first purchase from them—but I have emailed them a few times and they're very responsive and they get great reviews from actual buyers. Their prices are also wallet-friendly.

I don't think the Alum looks bad or cheap with dress clothes—I've seen many people wearing them—but I do think that the Steel looks much nicer. Though of all the Aluminum models, I think the space grey looks the most refined.
But, this is a luxury problem. There is a premium cost for the nicer metal and glass/sapphire face (which of course is not the actual tiny increase in raw materials costs which Apple pays!), and just like a nice pair of dress shoes...sure, cheaper shoes will do the trick, but nicer shoes will look and (probably) feel better.

Wow...that Milanese Loop is very grey in tone. It really doesn't match the polished stainless well. I never paid attention previously, were the bands more silvery in the past?
It still looks good, just not what I expected at all.
I have been thinking the exact same thing. Looks bigger on my wrist shots than in real life. Quite weird considering the slim shape and profile the watch has
By the way it’s now even great for golf. My old S2 was just too slow

It very much picks up the environment it’s in. I think here it’s picking up the gray table. It inherently has some shadow to it between the links which also has a sort of halftone shading effect. But it might also need some kind of chemical bath since it’s three and a half years old, lol. I’m open to suggestions from the group on what to clean it with.

Yeah, I’m also a photographer and I thought about it and think I know what’s going on. I always see photos on here and think “wow everyone has tiny wrists” and now that I see my own looking kinda that way, I think it’s because of the lens and focal distance to the watch being closer. Because of diverging sight lines, the closer you are to something the more it obscures what is behind it. Put your eye a couple inches above your watch and note how huge it looks compared to your wrist which disappears behind the edges. Now pull away and see it go back to normal. The camera is a different focal length than the human eye so it changes things even more. It’s the same reason why you have some photos of earth where North America is taking up the whole view and others where you can see several continents. Some people cry flat earth conspiracy but really it’s just a matter of how close the craft is taking the photo combined with the focal length of each camera. If you’re closer you use a wide angle and the earth’s horizon is closer which obscured itself and further away you use telephoto. It’s also why photographers prefer 70-85mm for portraits: lower focal lengths mean you have to get closer which rounds faces and enlarges the nose which is less flattering to clients.
Anyone know where I can get the new black color sport band that comes with the SBSS and SG other than from Apple (knock off version)? Thanks.
