Sport Watch Box [MERGED]

Is it just me or does the Sport box look rather cheap in comparison to both the watch itself and and the cube style watch box?

The white sports model looks gorgeous. Hopefully I should be getting this later on today!
Really awful and low-end packaging. The long skinny box is not particularly unlike the boxes $9.99 throw away watches come in. Disappointing.
Eh, While I do like the flat design I don't think you can fit the watch with the longer band attached in there...making it pretty much useless after you unbox the watch.
Would be nice if the lid was attached making travel with it easier.. guess a rubber band will do

I ordered one of each a SG sport and a Milanese. I have to say that sport box is like they are spanking you for not getting the standard watch. I expect so see that hanging from one of those metal hooks at a big box store. And sigh probably will.
I wonder - with all the craziness of mass rush packaging and handling - if someone is accidentally going to receive an WATCH or even an WATCH Edition instead of an WATCH Sport in the box. That would be a killer surprise. Apple has screwed up in the past, putting prototypes in a retail box (not sure if anyone received a wrong iPhone color or capacity, though).
Are you serious? After you get it out of the box, are you ever going to even look at the box again. Jeez
Turns out that the truth was somewhere in the middle. The long oval box houses the watch itself, while a larger box holds the rest. Interesting packaging choices.
I think the sports box is better than the SS box....

Yes , when you own multiple watches, you use the box when travelling to protect the watch.
You never put two watches together , even when they have sapphire glass, cause two sapphire watch faces will scratch each other.

I don't really get how a plain white box can be 'seriously disgusting', but hey ho.
It's just a stretched out box similar to the one they use for the SS watches. I quite like it, understated and it presents the product nicely.
Anyway, it's mostly a moot point as it's the actual watch I'm more interested in!
On the other hand, you paid a lot less for the Sport than people paid for their SSes, you can't expect the same splendour.
I concur! It's also smaller making it possible to use the plastic box as a carrying case if need be. The SS model's box is too big.
Yeah there have been some pictures from when people went to their try on appointments. The box is the same shape as the SS model box but is leather with color matching microfiber on the inside, much like an iPhone case. Case is color matched to the ordered band from what I have seen (cannot confirm for the red modern buckle). The case doubles as a charger and has a Lightning Cable connector at the back for plugging it in.
You can see it in this video. The outer white box has the text and profile of the Watch in gold foil. Nice touch IMO.
Rose gold looks so pretty with the white band. I wish they would come out with rose gold color aluminum for the sport. I read iPhone 7 may come in rose gold in Sept as well as the the colors.

It comes pre attached with m/large bands and you have s/medium band alone by its self. So it's cut out for large size band.
