White sports band for men ?

I am guessing I should not drive my wife's white car, no more white sock for me, no more white underwear, no more white tennis shoes, no more white dress shirts, and no more white t-shirt.
Don't want to get caught with not manly white on anywhere on my body and even worst, sit in it, let along an approx. 1" by 4" watch band. Any of above white item will be larger and look significantly less manly than that tiny 1" by 4" band.

Edit: Forgot to mention, no more white toilet for me also. Sitting in white toilet doing my business definitely not manly at all. :)

You just made my morning!!
 
The white is amazing. Impatiently waiting for my white band to get here already. Had a white 38 and I liked the look much more than my current black one (especially on the SS....oooh) I'm Mexican with medium dark skin.
 
If you like something, wear it. Who cares what others think. I have a white strap and it looks great!

This^^. I have a WSB 42 on the way. I tried it on in store and fell in love with it. Cancelled my BSB. The colored bands look very different in person. My original choice was the blue band, but passed. After seeing it in person, I kind of wish I had stuck with it. As above said, wear what you want and love it! If people judge you by your watch band, then they are the ones with the issue, not you.
 
After I first got it, I wondered about the white band as well (I am fairly pale and do not tan) and considered ordering a black band as well.

But now that I've worn it for 3 days, I find that it matches well with the work shirts I wear (dark, usually blue or black) as a good contrast.

Now I just think I am thinking about this waaaaay too much...:cool:

It's cool, it's part of what makes our little Apple club fun. I would say by the number of responses that people understand.

If you're sitting whilst on the toilet all your manlyhood have already disappeared so... yeah white band is okay.

By the way when I unboxed my white-band-watch yesterday my balls just left. Without even saying goodbye or thanking me for the fun times we've had together.
 
I'm rocking the white band. Don't care what anyone thinks. I was going to order a black but now i may stick with the white full time.
 
I ordered white rubber for casual style , and black for running.
formal style should be classic buckle , milanese loop and link bracelet .
 
White sports band is pretty neutral when it comes to gender, so I think it's obvious that men can rock it. I personally don't care for it and it may be my least favorite of the sports bands, but that has nothing to do with me perceiving it as feminine. I actually may purchase a pink band in the future. Currently rocking a blue sports band and have a black band on order. If I decide I'd like a 3rd (sports band), pink would probably be it.
 
I can't wait for MINE to get here, and I'm guy! Hell, I've even worn white shirts, and white tennis shoes -- a rebel, I know! Edgy.
 
It'll look fine for jeans and casual clothing. Black sport band, although not exactly formal either, will be fine even wearing suits.
 
The white sports band is actually only approved for men who are also comfortable wearing pink...

So pics and opinions are sometimes inaccurate, but yet you come here asking everyone for their opinion.

Wear what you want and stop caring about other's opinions.
 
Looks fine on me. Get a ton of compliments and the random douchebag who thinks insulting someone's watch is something a normal grown adult would do.
 
Got a white Sport model and ordered a black band extra. I like the look of the silver aluminum and black band. Figured I would keep the white as a back up. Been wearing it almost two weeks waiting for the black band and am actually surprised how much I do like the white also.
 
i have the 42MM SS with the WSB along with my white/silver 6+.

White has a much cleaner look with the SS compared to the black. There is nothing feminine or masculine about the color. It's a gender neutral color that goes with everything.

Personally I am happy with my selection. I'd much rather have the SS WSB than the BSB or the space black.

The only other appealing color would be the rose gold edition with the WSB.
