I'm not really a band changing guy. I only want one band. I'll pick up black sport band as soon as possible.
Understandable. I wasn't really into bands myself, then it became a slippery slope when I was hooked on customization.

I purchased the black SS after having the silver. I definitely like it more. I only have Nike watch bands from apple though. I bought NOMAD leather strap and a more casual rubber one. These had hardware options for black and white. The SS is awesome, certain colors I feel may look better with it.. But without using the SS link bracelet I always would get annoyed by the silver on the side , as dumb as that sounds. The black just flows in nicely and doesn't stand out as much. Heres the two bands I got that offered black hardware

Nomad makes a nice Watch band. The leather one you have pictured looks similar to the Hermes Fauve Barenia Leather band, except without the Hermes price tag.
Erm, not so much...
Hermes is very nice. But Nomad makes a similar band, perhaps not in quality of leather, but style wise was what I was indicating.
I can't see the resemblance to be honest apart from the different colour stitching. The Hermès band is much thinner, hasn't got the padding and is lighter in colour (even though it'll get a patina). Then again the Nomad you can't see in person, so may be different.
I can't tell from the thickness from looking at one another, but the stitching is fairly obvious between the two. I actually prefer a more robust, thicker leather band. Nomad makes a decent band, but eventually I would like to own an Hermes band and compare the differences.

and I think the Nomad looks like a pillow, don't like it
The Saddle Brown Classic Buckle is a nice compromise

Good choice. I know you mentioned the white band annoyed you on how it was the only option, but that's one of my favorite sports bands. It's clean looking and accents the stainless nicely. It's a good starter band once you add to the collection, which can be a slippery slope.
same issue here...
i want the official apple classic buckle... but they dont look good with my SBSS watch...
im still looking for alternative... i saw the nomad.. i find it too thick ...
