So is it two bands of the same color just different sizes?
Yeah, same color but 2 sizes. I'm sure you could find people to swap with at the Apple store on day 1 or after on this forum, friends etc.
 
The bands have considerable overlap in compatible wrist sizes between band sizes. Most of us will be able to use both.
 
Yes. It will apparently come with two bands in the box.

Two straps in the box

On the apple website under 'What's in the box', it says the :apple:watch sport comes with two straps. Is this actually two separate straps for the watch or just the two parts of the strap?

I read that it will be 2 separate straps, different sizes to ensure a proper fit.
 
The sizing guide states a band of 130mm with the 38mm Apple Watch! Who has a wrist that small? Are Apple expecting dogs to wear these?!?

I do, actually (pretty petite woman), and I am super happy I will be able to wear the Apple Watch. Usually I am not so fortunate with bracelets and the like :)

My wrists are small but 130mm is ridiculous! But yes, I am also glad that it'll fit my wrist!

Myeah, I agree :( Sometimes I think my wrists are not far off from a skeleton's wrists, LOL.

I think it's a wise choice from Apple, anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if kids/teenagers eventually end up wearing these as well.
 
Click on any Sport edition in the store and it says:
What’s in the box
Apple Watch
Magnetic charging cable
USB power adapter
Two bands
Quick start guide

So, two of the same color band? Can I trade one band in for a different color? Does this mean the rubber bands aren't very durable?

Yes I noticed that and it was something worth talking about! I do wonder if we will have two free picks between bands. Or would it be that one band connects as two? I’m not sure lol.
 
All it says is that it comes with 2 bands, no other details. So how do we know if it comes with bands only of the same color, or if you can pick between 2 different colors, or if they automatically come with 2 different sized-bands of the same color?
 
So if you decide to get the Sport edition. Can we change the bands out? I know Apple is not making any of the other straps for the sport, but will we at least be able to get 3rd party ones?

I really don't want to spend the $600 for the Steel on, but I am not that big of a fan of the sport strap. I could deal with it if we could get different ones down the road.

Yes I just got confirmation from an Apple Specialist via Online Store.
 
Oh that we will be able to change the strap. Will we be able to use any of the other Apple straps?

Yes, we will be able to select and Apple band and apply it to any watch. Meaning if you have a Sport, you can have any Stainless Steel band on it.

Well then I will be getting the 48mm sport. Thanks for the info. Now I think I am totally on board. The Stainless steel looks the best to me, but not practical at all. $600 for a watch that will be out of date in a year.

38 or 42? lol. Anyway yes you are right. It will probably be out for a year. But then what we can do is sell it before version 2.0 comes out and get that second watch when it comes out.

Sorry yes 42mm. The sport just seems to make the most sense for a first gen Apple wearable.
 
Kind of lame how we'll end up with one in the box we won't even use. Would be nice if we could order it with two of the ones that we know will fit us, that way we actually get two usable bands :rolleyes:
 
Well it looks like we are on the same page. Can't wait, and I hope you get the one you are after. Pre ordering is always a toss up. Can't wait though.

Hey thank you. Hope you get the one you are after too! I can't decide between Sport or SS in 42 mm because of pricing lol. I also don't know how I will see it in stores on April 10th and then Pre order quickly after wards because chances are they will be delayed on the same day :/

Yeah it's always a mess. I am going with the 42mm sport. I am not even going to try look at it first. Just going to go with the sport, and try to get a leather strap for it.
 
Two Bands?!?!

According to the Apple Store "What's in the box" the Apple Watch will come with 'Two bands'. Do you think this means that it will come with the two band pieces or an actual spare band?!?!
