Just wondering if they feel in any way like the iPhone 6/6+ silicone cases material wise?

Anyone think the white one will get dirty pretty fast?

I felt really great on the wrist. Very smooth and light material.

I really liked it.
 
I will also add, the Sports band felt great. Was not expecting the material to feel rather soft and not so 'plasticky'.
 
I walked in expecting it to be same as my Fitbit's synthetic rubber. It's much softer and smoother than any other watch bands I tried.

It felt like rubber... lol. I ordered a space gray sport and tried them on yesterday. It felt fine on your wrist but one thing I noticed is that when you clip it in and off it sometimes like sticks to a hair on your arm so you feel an unpleasant pinch. Also, it was a bit difficult to take the band off.

This was not my experience at all...and I have pretty hairy arms. #sasquatch
 
I expected to hate it but I really like it. It's really comfortable.

My favorite watch ever was a dive watch that had a band like this...not sure if it was the same material but very similar. Metal bands - link at least - drive me crazy...though I could easily live with the Milanese loop.
 
And it does feel a bit like rubber, but strangely in a good way, not bad. If it didn't have that elasticity (or at least flexibility) to it, it would feel like plastic, I suppose.

It's much smoother. I wouldn't call it luxurious but it feels fine. Putting one on takes some getting used to, but taking it off is easy.
 
Impressive

Did my Try On, Friday.

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, knowing the quality of Apple products but . . .
I was pleasantly surprised when I slipped on the Sport Watch. The band had a nice "thickness", was sturdy yet extremely comfortable. It may take some getting used to (in fastening the band) but it seems really secure to me. I don't expect to have problems with it falling off of my wrist. I'm 100% convinced that I made the right choice, for me, in my selection.
 
Sport band feels excellent, much better than other sport watches like g shock.

Definitely best "bang for buck" band from Apple
