I have been wearing a Fitbit Flex for a couple of years and I was looking forward to switching to a band that was not rubber, so I pre-ordered the Watch with Milanese band. When I went in for my try on appointment, I was really surprised at how much I loved the sport band. It's soft, smooth, and quite comfortable; much more than the hard fitbit band. I almost prefer it to the Milanese and I'm glad I pre-ordered a white sport band as my "second" band, but I can see that I may be wearing that one more. Now I wish it came in more colors!
