It's happened to very few people. If you want to be sure, a search and see for yourself. I was concerned about that too when I was thinking about buying this. There are people who've done things like play sports, and bang theirs on a ladder (the ladder actually got bruised in that case).
If you're extra paranoid like me, just get AppleCare. I seriously doubt I'd have to use it though.
Will you have some nice pictures for your friends in this thread?
Space Black next to Stainless Steel Milanese. Will have more pictures once it's on my wrist. It is a stainless steel watch, not space black
I ordered the black and royal band but I also ordered a complete Sport Gold watch with the gold/royal. Both are now officially at my local UPS terminal for delivery tomorrow!
I have a scratch on my the space grey sport bezel . It got caught somewhere somehow. Maybe from a door? I don't know, wonder if Apple Care is any use.It's happened to very few people.

I'd like to see how that combo looks!
Whilst I don't have a physical job I wear my SB and Apple SB link every day. It is 100% perfect on the watch body and I've accumulated a small number of very light scratches around the clasp of the strap:
You have to look super hard to see them under any conditions and they don't show bright metal, more a light grey effect.
I was a little disappointed about the scratches, but got over it very quickly. After about 9 months of daily wear it's still in amazing condition. Especially when compared with some pictures you see of the Sport Watch or non-SB steel watch.
About 6 months ago, I would have been more noncommittal about choosing SB again in future. Now, I am 100% a fan.
I actually was disappointed with the color of the OEM SB milanese loop. The SB watch is so much darker in comparison and I'm returning mine today. To my eyes it's more grey than black and I like the seamless all black look of the sport band better. For $211 I needed to love it but didn't.

Yes, different color. Mix and match to suit an ocassion. One for dressier use, one for workout use. Mix and match bands and watches. Also planning to wear one while I sleep now to get sleep data.

I don't blame you. With how good the 3rd party black milanese are, I really can't bring myself to even consider something just because it came from Apple. They've got other bands that are worth paying full price. I just don't think their milanese is one.
Plus, the 3rd party black milanese are darker.

I wasn't questioning your purchase, lol. I just wasn't sure if you had said you already had a watch or not, because I've read a few of your posts and couldn't remember if you said you had one.
I've been thinking about getting a second one too. Maybe a regular SS or gold aluminum.
Got my Milanese and I really like it. Really comfortable and it does pop a bit in light which I like. I really liked this band when they came out so really happy they finally came out with a black version.
Just picked mine up 5 minutes ago! Looked sweet in person. Bad thing, I forgot my watch at home like a dummy today.
Like a power ranger without their morpher...
Just remodeled our bedroom and haven't gotten a dock or a bedside table to house the charger so it was in a remote corner by a wall outlet and the poor thing is all alone today.
I even got the weird look from the Apple guy when I asked to see the black nylon on a space black wondering where my watch was.
I did educate him about the storm gray leather buckle that he wasn't aware was out. They didn't have it in store as I wanted to see that one in person wth the space black.
I don't think it really matters, but I believe the band goes the opposite way. I know I don't have to say anything, but you might like it better too. Then you won't see the "clasp" bc it will be on the other side.
Joined the black nylon club. Super lightweight and the adapters look fantastic with the space black.
Curious to see how it ages or options to clean it if need be but right now it feels slick and has a very nice quality build to it.
Great alternative to the sports band for the summer for me here in Texas and lightweight feeling.

Actually I'm glad you did say something didn't realize that. The sad thing is I was looking at the instructions and still got it wrong lol. Thanks for the info!
I had the same idea, but didn't see an app that seemed to be very good. Which one are you looking at?
I looked around for a little, but I've been using Sleep Pulse 2. I can post some screens if you'd like.
