Space grey with blue leather band looks awesome

Also you won't believe how small these watches are. They are so much smaller than they look in pictures. So glad I ordered 42 and not 38. 38 is tiny

Went in for a second appointment today and this time it went very well. I didn't feel rushed like I did on the 10th and they let me swap bands out and compare different models at the same time. A few options with the space grey sport that look absolutely amazing are the blue and black leather loops. Am definitely going to pick one of them up as a daily driver and swap to the sport band for active use. Best combo in my opinion (was never a fan of the glossy finger print magnet).

Wow love that Space Grey Sport on the black leather... great combo!
 
SG and the black loop look really good. I thought would be against it. But the iPhone SG and black leather case go well together. Now my only issue is to keep the SG or SS. :confused:
 
Has anyone got any pictures of the silver Sport with blue, black or brown leather loops? It's only the SG which seems to be getting any extra-band love!
 
I don't think it makes sense to put a $150 watch band on a $350 watch haha ($50 of the $399 asking price is the original band)

Don't think the actual watch price should be a factor. It should be how the end result is. But the real issue, why is apple charging soo much for the leather bands when an iPad leather case is half the price for twice the leather. :rolleyes:
 
The Apple Store guy told me the stainless steel bands would corrode the aluminium watch, and the blue leather band with space grey would look bad, as would the white sports band. Don't know if I believe him though.

Ha, the guy I spoke to at the Apple Store (employee) said he had ordered the Space Gray and intends to pair it with the blue leather strap. I agree and think that combo is killer. Just dang expensive for that leathers strap - $150?
 
Great thread by the way. Looking forward to either a blue or black leather loop with my 42 SG. Can't decide which one to get.
 
Any real life pics of Space Grey with the pink sports band? I've had the band sitting in my cart forever but can't force myself to pull the trigger##

I actually just finished a try on with my Space Grey Sport with all sorts of bands. The Blue Leather Loop looks great and also was shocked at the Milanese and Tan Leather Loops and how classy they looked with it. I have them both on order as I cant decide yet which one I like better.
 
Already looked there. Hoping to see a real life pic##

Edited : the band looks almost reddish on that site at least on my phone it does.

If I go by the Apple store again I'll ask if I can do it.The Apple Store employee who was helping me was very helpful so we switched a bunch of bands around.

The specialist who helped me also mentioned something about the different metals corroding eachother if you swap them too much, but I'm not sure I believe that. He mentioned that Apple says non-sport bands aren't "officially" compatible with the sport models, but he's getting a black leather loop for his own grey sport watch.
 
After a try-on I'm liking the black leather loop a lot more than I expected based on photos. I have a SG Sport on preorder and will likely follow up with a leather loop shortly after receiving the watch. It's a really nice pairing.
 
im split in half over loop or classic Buckle. For men
