Man, I bought the 42mm and had a tattoo of a huge arrow done down my arm pointing at the watch just to make sure everyone notices how freaking rich I am! I also get the added bonus of people thinking "Wow, that tattoo must of also cost a lot, so he must be super rich! I want his children!"

If I could do that it woukd solve a lot of my problems Lmao

I totally agree with the comments above. 38mm size is the best size in any wrist size as it does give a very decent and exceptionally elegant look. The 38mm just looks and seems more symmetrical and fits better.

Unfortunately, people jump to the 42mm quickly thinking that will be better size. Majority people with small wrists, unfortunately, do not look good at all with the size 42mm. Please be honest, the size 42 mm on the small wrist look so like sore thumb, sticking out and screaming: "look at me, I have and wear Apple Watch, the more expensive one, I am rich and have a lot of money" and to me, it is a pity look and make me feel sorry for these people trying to get complement and attention so hard, while not caring much how they look.

I've tried a 38mm in the store and it was small. I just prefer the larger screen. My wrist can fit the 38mm and it's a fine watch for people who want it but honestly I would prefer the 42 to be slightly bigger.


Also how does this matter in this thread?

Ah, you must be rich then!

I bought the Black leather loop to go with my SG AW Sport originally. Now, that I have the SB SS, the black leather loop is my favorite band. I also have the black nylon, a black/gray Nike knock-off and the original black sport. The little bit of chrome on the back of the leather loop is hardly noticeable and in fact, I never even see it until I take the band off. It rests on the far side of my wrist, so all I see is the black leather.

The black leather loop is my favourite band and I'm wondering how much better it would look with a SB SS or SG compared with my current SS.

Any chance of a picture :)

Here are a couple of my SB with the black leather loop. I was not planning to buy the leather loop, but when BB had their 25% off Apple Accessories sale, I grabbed it for $112.50. It is my now my favorite band!

Thanks for that. It looks great -- better, I think, than having a silver bezel like mine. I wonder what the space grey aluminium looks like.

The leather loop is my favourite band, too. For a while it was the link, but the adjustability of the leather loop (and the look, actually) make it the better choice for me.
 
Well, since this is the SB SS owners thread, I am not sure if I will be banned for posting pictures of my SG AW Sport with the Black Leather Loop. Here it goes anyway: :p

The Loop has been my favorite from the beginning. My worry is that it looks like our selection has been greatly reduced. My daily favorite is the Storm Grey loop with the Black stainless. :)

Do you not find you have to keep adjusting the loop throughout the day? I've never had one, just got that impression after the Apple Store appointment.

The Space Black is better, but it's food for thought. Can't really justify buying a new watch now, but when my current one dies I might go in that direction.

I've reported your post for breaking the rules and I look forward to you being banned for life.

:p

I've had zero problems with mine. Nothing like that.
 
I personally haven't with my Brown leather loop. Although, perhaps it's based on wrist size as well.

Cool thank! Tempted by the midnight blue

Good to hear, thanks for the replies guys, that's gonna cost me now! lol

No, not at all. Unless I get it caught on something it stays the size I put it at until I change it. What I like best is my ability to quickly change the size as my wrist changes size during the day. I tried the black stainless link band but it lacked a quick way to change sizes that I wanted. Did not want to take out a link or add one in the middle of the day.

Awesome thanks! Looks like my lunch is planned now! lol
 
Doesn't Apple only sell the blue one now and no longer the black one??

If this is the case, I would be very surprised. I thought the Black was the most popular color. Either way, I bought mine about a month ago from BB, not Apple.

You wouldn't be banned for this. Anyways, I like the combination. My Space black pairs with More bands than I thought. But the Space Gray looks nice paired with the black leather loop.

I was joking, which is why I stuck my tongue out. :D

I have not had this problem. It stays right where I put it.
 
So they both look similar looking at them head on, only difference is from the side. The Sport version I definitely like the feel of the band but I'm going to stick with this shinier premium model. The weight difference doesn't bother me. From the sides you can tell it's a different watch. I hope it's worth it. I've already had a Sport model so why not upgrade. I do think I'd like the all stainless model but I've seen them get super scratched and I actually think you can pull off more sporty bands with the black model. Plus the Stainless comes with a white and, so that'll be more money out of pocket just to get the first color band I would want. Although I think all Stainless and a black leather and would be stunning.

I used the same logic when I finally bought my SBSS. I have owned an SG Watch Sport for a year, so I decided to go for the SS model this time around. If AW3 has some stunning new feature I can't live without, I can rotate back to the SG Aluminum model again to save a little money. :D

The Black Leather loop and SB SS does look stunning! My pictures do not do it justice.

Where can we buy a black leather loop now???
