What do you think of the new coloured & exclusive sport bands?

What form would you like, then?

Because...future add on sales equal bodies in stores and/or shopping online that may buy more Apple loot like iPads, the new MB Air, etc while shopping for new watch bands.
Other than the black and white, the colors Apple chose for release are very odd. Neon green, Coral, and Light blue?
I guarantee they will release many more colors, but I wasn't impressed with their out-of-the-gate decisions. Seriously, the red, yellow, and dark blue should have been standard.

Yeah you're right, maybe limited is the wrong word (english isn't my mother language) Maybe not limited, but definitely exclusive so far.
Changed the title, thanks.

Thank you. What an ugly picture. Reminds me of the days when I owned a Blackberry.
You must be great at parties.

They'd be burned at the stake if they did that. They may want to, but I think they have enough sense to stick with the current form factor for a few gens.
I agree the bands are exclusive to the Edition (due to the gold pins). They're not likely to offer the more exotic colors for the Sport collection if they want to maintain the exclusivity of the higher models.
I am thanks. Can I ask what that has to do with the Apple Watch?
Minimum of a weeks battery life.
A link bracelet that costs significantly less than the obscene £379 Apple charge.
Which would be extremely frustrating if true. Kinda ironic that the Edition model would have more than 3x Sport band choices than the SPORT model. I really hope at least some of these come without the gold pin!
Except it doesn't. Those were likely just test samples and they ultimately settled on just two colors (white and black) to be sold retail. Even so, they're not likely to make available the red Sport strap in order to maintain the exclusivity of the bright red Modern Buckle, which many people immediately recognize as the $17,000 Apple Watch.
"If true."
I agree we may not see any of these become available to the public, but I was just stating my hopefulness. It's clear lots of people like more color choices, and I think it's safe to assume Apple is bound to create more straps and colors down the road, even if they aren't these.
Are you so self-important that you think anyone else cares what you think? I mean, seriously. It's borderline narcissistic. Someone would lock you up in a mental institution if you walked in to a store and just yelled that out.
A better example would be if you would walk in to a Tesla dealership and announce "I'm not buying one of these until they have 1,000 mile range". The salespeople would look at you like you were insane. Which you are. You reek of someone trying to make themselves feel better about their choice to not get an Apple Watch. You have no constructive criticism, you just came in and said "I'm not getting one so I don't care." We don't care that you don't care. Leave this thread and don't come back.
If it's offered in later generations, I'm sure I'd opt for the space black stainless steel Apple Watch with the matching black Milanese loop.
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple announces a (PRODUCT) RED version of the sports band later this year.
Black and Gold? they already have this... unfortunately prices start at $10,000
Seen a black Milanese looking one on eBay.
It has to do with how miserable you come across as. I'm literally more depressed now from reading your posts.

Give this man a medal
I'd prep for a long wait unless battery tech becomes radically better and cheaper all of a sudden.
All these wearables with such long battery life run minimal programming on B&W screens. It's like comparing a B&W CRT monitor to color an LED monitor and wondering why the LED isn't cheaper than the CRT even through the LED is color and 1080p. Or asking why you cannot get standby battery power as good as you got on your old Nokia candy bar dumb phone in a smart phone...even though current smart phones are handheld computers that demand more battery power.
I'm not sure why a stainless steel band that is self adjusting without tools being 449 USD is so surprising. This is Apple, after all.
I'm sure there will be cheaper 3rd party link bracelets.
