Space Black owners thread.

Got my JETech Milanese loop in today. I am liking it! I find myself wondering if I want a red or midnight blue sport band or midnight blue leather loop now. Decisions decisions.

Looks great! I just ordered a distressed leather blue band from Clockwork Synergy with PVD adapters and buckle. I'll post pics when I get it. They were having a sale and it was only $34.95.

Thanks! Oh nice, I'll check it out. Does it come with the adapter?
 
Yes it does, I think without the adapter it would've been $24.95. That's the cool thing with their straps too. In the future I can just buy the straps sans adapter for less.
[doublepost=1462141240][/doublepost]Anyone have any pictures of a SBSS with the lilac band?
 
AAPL replaced mine on the spot with a brand new retail band new in box. I had very similar wear and was one of the first shipped. They said the defective band will go back to engineering and this was a known issue with early SBSS units. New one has not had the same issues at all, and it's been quite some time.

I noticed that my Space Black Stainless Steel band was wearing along the edges around January and stopped wearing it. I have at last count 5 other bands so I can't say it has had heavy wear. I actually got to the Apple Store today to see what they would do about it.

I'm sad to say the answer is nothing!!

They say that wear on a watch should be expected. I am somewhat surprised!! This watch was priced at ~ £1100 including Applecare... I've not used the band in three months, I got the watch in the middle on June 15 so it has had about 7 months wear but during that time I used other bands too. I'd don't think I've used it more than 4 months of actual use.

My previous Tissot watch cost £300 and I handed it down to my son. After 15+ years, it looked worn in not worn out!

I can't see how this watch is fit for purpose!? It is an expensive version of the watch sold as a fashion statement - eg. it's purpose is too look good. I am embarrassed to wear it the silver shining through makes the watch look cheap.

I know my watch was one of the first to come out maybe later ones don't suffer from this?

I would not recommend this band to anyone currently.

Anyone had their watch replaced due to wear?

Always nice to see these bands with the Space Black. Looks nicer than I thought it might.

Yeh I was pleasantly surprised. It's a keeper for me. I think the gold goes well with the more understated black. On the SS, it clashes more IMO.

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.

Good to know. the nylon band certainly looks very good and Apple marketing did a bad job. Now that I have seen how it looks in your photos, I will definitely get one!
 
Just got my Clockwork Synergy distressed blue leather band with PVD adapters and buckle. Quality is AWESOME. Real leather and the fit is perfect. I will definitely be buying more bands from this company. I highly recommend this. I almost went with the black but I am glad I got the blue. Adds a different touch. Also, the band is super comfortable.

Any pictures of the SBSS with lilac or turquoise bands? I know I can use mixyourwatch but it's nice to see non-stock images.

The red looks amazing! I dig it! I got the white sports band and I like the contrast but that looks dope.

I'm still on the fence about the stone. I wanted something a little muted. I already ordered the fog now and I'll compare the two and just keep one.
