True. For some reason it looked like the underdog that doesn't belong when the Watch was introduced, lol, which is what made me interested in it. But it looks like they'll be everywhere...

Watch Stainless steel, 42mm, black sports band for me 
Wow no takers on the 42mm SS white sport band. I actually expected that one to do pretty well.

I'm cool with it being every where as long as I look down at my wrist and see the watch I like. What I'm concerned about is people taking my pre-order...
Your poll is excellent.
Although I have absolutely zero desire for the Watch, I voted so as to view the voters picks. It's very interesting.
I always get nervous when pre-ordering online especially after the brain fart apple.com had for the iPhone 6 launch. And now I'm even more nervous seeing the majority of people want the same exact watch as I do 
Sport / Silver Aluminum / Blue Sport Band / 42mm initially, but will be buying the Milanese Loop loop to swap it with immediately.
i wish to buy the SS black.
hoping that the black will not be the same material as the Space Black iPhone5
if there is a scuff gate i go for the SS silver one - but i really like this 449 Dollar Band

why is the modern buckle only available on the 42mm?
i'm torn. i like the milanese loop, but it looks a tad blingy for everyday use. i'm not a fan of the ribbed leather loop; i really like the modern buckle, but it isn't available on the 42mm. and then i really almost convince myself the black stainless steel with link bracelet is the way to go, but that's just too much to spend on a first gen product. and i'm back to square one not knowing which model to buy.

Great idea, thanks for taking the time to do this!

I'm on the space gray sport/SS with black sport strap fence myself. What made you decide on SS? While I like the space gray aluminum, I just think SS looks (and will likely feel) nicer. I also worry about scratches and dents on the case and face of the aluminum. But, is the sports band with the SS going to look like a mismatch? Decisions, decisions...

I can't make up my mind :/ I keep jumping between Sport and Stainless Steel.
I like the Sport because I'll be able to change Color of bands every once in a while depending on which band I feel like using. Also I'll be able to put the Milanese which is my most wanted band on the Sport. But I tend to scratch watches very easily (I'm 16) and I think this one will really scratch.
But then again the Stainless Steel just looks marvellous! It's beautiful and shiny! But i think Color bands like the green one will look very bad on it. Very ugly in other words. I'll only be able to put a white or black band on it in order for it to look alright. On the bright side I'll also be able to put the Milanese band which will look a bit better than it will on the Sport.
What do you guys think will be a better fit for me? I'm a 16 year old male, and play basketball. I will be using sport bands to school and then fancy Milanese one when I go out. Thanks.

Awesome.
Tough decision for me. I will pre-order one with my ultimate choice before pre-order time. Then go for another one plus more bands at the stores.
Interesting poll... I was in agreement with the majority - space black sport however having considered it more I'm going to get a sport with blue band. My reason is I think the space black is really limited in which straps it goes with. I'll buy a sport with blue band and get an extra black one to go with it.
Surprised the leather loop isn't more popular, especially in stone, blue and brown. They look really good and versatile.
Been looking to the forums for recommendations, and I think I have gotten myself more confused as to what I want ... Just wish I knew for sure what the release cycle was going to be ... I have a pebble watch and a Sony Smartwatch 2 when I was sporting android, as well as a gear fit band. Of all 3 I enjoyed the gear fit band the best because of the clean look as well as practicality. I have a Skagen stainless steel watch with a milanese style band that I wear when im all suited up ...
I want the Stainless Watch with the link band, but think $1100 is too much for a gen 1 device, so bumping myself down to the Stainless with milanese loop. However, if a new watch is coming out next year, would want to consider the aluminum in the meantime to see any big advances in battery life and style.
Ugh! Best suggestion ive seen so far is to order the one I want and then while trying on in the store, if I feel like a change can do so then ... dont know i'd be any more clear at that point though ...

So many people are undecided which watch they want b.c of the various straps. I do not think enough people are asking themselves, "will I really change the strap that often?" At a starting price of $50 per band, it can become expensive very fast.
