Sports Bands, how do they feel?

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 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.
 
The sports band was really soft and felt much better than I thought it would. It was very comfortable.
 
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
