I had to quote this because it is very true. I thought the same thing today when I first got to see mine in the daylight. It's been cold the last few days, so a jacket has been covering it up! It's my favorite band as it's so easy to adjust and it shines beautifully.By the way, I was out in the sun today and the SB Milanese loop shined beautifully

Those nylon bands really look great! How's it feel compared to, the sports bands?

I mean what are they supposed to do? A good DLC coating is diamond like. If they go cheap, then the band rubs off easier. Put a good coating and it can be as strong as diamond which means it can cut sapphire.
Now this is just from my reasoning and I could be wrong. But if it's even close to being hard as diamond then it makes sense.
This isn't a problem with the link bracelet because it's too stiff to get close to the screen. The Milanese loop is much different and has the potential to touch the screen.

Maybe not DLC-coating the thing if it's going to easily scratch what it's supposed to be an accessory to? I saw another post where the thing scratched the body of the watch as well.
I've always thought the sports band was the most comfortable, but now the nylon band has surpassed it. It's light, soft, smooth to the touch, and breathable. I was very skeptical at first about them, but my opinion changed once I put one on.
The lighting under the display casing at the retail stores doesn't do it justice either. Apple did a fantastic job with the material. They've actually made nylon not look cheap.
That's the Utility face. Just turn off the complications and dial numbers you don't want to see.
It's kind of crazy since a new watch is probably going to be unveiled in June and coming out in July, but I'm having a hard time holding back on buying a space black stainless steel with link bracelet. I already have a standard stainless steel with like bracelet, which I bought on day one. But the call of something new is growing strong... I managed to get a few scratches on the bottom class of my watch, but can be easily buffed out on the stainless steel model. I think I get the scratches from simply laying my wrist down on my desk as I type. Having read through the various pages of this thread, I'm sure I will wind up with similar scratches that cannot be buffed out on my space black link bracelet. Nevertheless, it looks so cool.
Well of course it will have very minor scratches BUT I will say my Space Black has aged very very very nicely. Really almost looks like new to this day (from September)It's kind of crazy since a new watch is probably going to be unveiled in June and coming out in July, but I'm having a hard time holding back on buying a space black stainless steel with link bracelet.

I think you are over-thinking this. My wife has a SS ML bracelet on a Silver Sport watch. No problem. If Apple had a concern for that they would not have made the fit universal.
I just received a lack nylon band with a new Space Gray Sport – I previously has a SS with Black Sport band – and I think the nylon bands are a nice alternative. Mine feels slightly less comfortable than my sport, but that may just be an issue of breaking it in. I had the sport band for 11 months
But I think the nylon bands look much nicer than the sport bands do. I'd have no hesitation about wearing this to a nicer event.
Great thing about space black is it makes any lighter band instantly pop out. Really liking the royal blue nylon with it.

I was looking far and wide for a picture of the Space Black and the Royal Blue. My nearby Apple Stores still don't have any of the nylon bands, so I'm forced to either wait or order. I was trying to decide between the Black, Royal Blue, or pearl. Now, I'm leaning towards the Royal Blue. Just gotta find a picture of the Space Black and Pearl
Returning the black Milanese loop. It looks nice, but it's not worth the $200. I already had a link bracelet and it's more comfortable. I'll save the $200.

I hear ya. I've thought about those 3 colors too. While the black is nice too, I already have a black LL and would rather wear that if I'm going for the stealth look. Will probably return my black nylon, would rather keep the redundancy to a minimum. The pearl could look nice too, but I'm not sure if the sheen of the nylon would make it look too much like it's trying to be the Milanese loop. I like my fog sport band too much to get another similar color like it.
Looks awesome - thanks for sharing... I might jump on a blue and black nylon as well for my Space Black
Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. Black would be safe if you can't see the other ones on the watch, but I already have 5 black bands, lol.
It's all personal opinion, naturally. I find the SB ML to be even more comfortable than the Link and just as classy in a different way. I'm glad to have both.
I sold my Space Black SS with BSB about a month ago. My reasoning was lack of black bands. Even the classic buckle leather band has a silver buckle. Very annoying.
I'm going to re buy the AW soon. Just not sure which version though.

I know what you mean and feel about the lack of bands. The 3rd party options and the link is enough to keep me very satisfied with my SB though. Love the look and feel
Yoo guys, i'm watching this thread for a while now without an account.
This thread made me buy the SBSS
Went for the blacksport band and dark blue leatherloop.
Tried the new grey and white leatherloop also but liked the blue one the best.
Here it is!

At some point they will have to offer them with SB clasps and connectors. Even if it's online only. Would love some of the leather loops
A leather loop with SB connectors? I don't see that ever happening. Why would they do that if they don't even do those with SS connectors? We can't even get classic leather buckles with Space Black connectors, lol.
I don't get it... Is it the clear loop we are talking about? Looks awesome as it is the loop on Space Blacks. The classic buckle though
