Silver Aluminum Sport Watch With Other Bands

I believe you have two options. Keep the screen in the same orientation and have the crown on the right side or rotate the screen and have the crown on the left side. I think I read Apple recommends rotating the screen and putting the crown on the left side so you can use it with your left hand and not cross over the watch face.
Nice!

Wow, did you take a picture of the Silver Sport + Link Bracelet? Somehow I never thought about this possibility/combination.
I HATE WATCHES. Yet here I am, oogleing over the Apple Watch. Lol. Either they are design geniuses, I am a huge fanboi, or both.
I just went in straight from the off and the employee was totally cool with it. Had about three or four watches out at once, switching the bands around willy nilly. Unfortunately, they only had SG 42mm Sport watches, or I'd have taken some pictures with the leather loops. The blue looked fairly nice on the SG Sport, though I think it'd look better on the silver. I didn't like the clashing of SS/SG aluminium with the other bands though, and even the silver aluminium on a 38mm Sport didn't look great with the Milanese loop I tried. Much preferred the leather loops.
Considering buying a blue or black one, but £130 is quite steep!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that picture has been floating around since September, so I presume it was taken after the original event.
So I can get the sport watch and buy different bands? Like the brown leather one? Can someone explain please.
Yes, you can. All 38mm bands fit all 38mm watches. All 42mm bands fit all 42mm watches.
Nice! That's really cool. My store was the same as you. The only sport model they had was the SG. I wish they would have had the Silver Sport for us to try on!
Sorry, folks - they wouldn't let me swap bands in the store. They actually didn't have a 42mm Silver Sport model to demo either (only Space Gray, which does look great).
The woman that helped me probably would've let me swap, but the store was dead and a million employees were hovering around. I think she was feeling the pressure to go by the book. No big deal, I certainly didn't want to get her into trouble.
The flourolastemer bands are extremely nice for what they are. I was surprised how soft and supple they are.
I was able to check out a couple of Leather Loops on SS models. They are nice, but I'd have a hard time justifying the $150 given how nice the flourolastemer bands are. I agree with other posters that have said the leather seems cardboard-y. I assume that it would relax and get softer with wear.
Overall, still very happy with my choice of Sport + Black Flourolastemer band.

How easy will it be to do? I wonder how much the bands will be on eBay etc? Any clue on that?
Yeah and the only different between the sport and the watch is the stainless steel. Surely for the price differential it will be more of a difference. What the point of the premium otherwise. Now I'm even more excited about the watch.
How much do you think they will be on eBay (the straps not the watch obviously)
I have posted the same thoughts. The "rubber" bands by far are the best value and feel the best to me. I was surprised how fake feeling the leather loop band felt. All of the $150 bands don't feel worth it to me.
