Who actually loves it?

I do!

42mm ss Milanese
Green sports strap
White sports strap (on order)
Classic buckle (on order)

That's exactly my list as well. I really love my AW42ML, but I love Green Sport Band equally. I think the green band perfectly suits to my running cloths...

And as you, I am waiting for White Band and Classic Buckle, which I want to use only on special occasions like theatre or so.

So if you are speaking to someone about work you don't get distracted by your phone displaying notifications. It just sits there silently why your watch taps you in a discrete manner. Haptic is very subtle, and you don't hear the taptic engine like you do with normal vibrate motors in phones.

That's a big selling point for me too. Not just the fact that I don't miss notifications anymore, but also that when I get them, they are much less jarring and intrusive. I'm a busy guy, I run an office and I have a family. I have text messages coming in, calls, alarms and reminders, you name it. Seems like my phone is always buzzing or ringing. Now, with the watch, notifications are a gentle and completely silent tap, which I can review by a simple twist of the rest. It's so nice, and I feel like it's probably lowered my blood pressure a notch or two.

Fantastic taste then! Lol

Guilty as charged. I've had mine since release day and I couldn't be without it already. No regrets at all with my purchase. Well, one, I should have got the Milanese to begin with but that's easily rectified.

I absolutely love my Silver 42mm Sport, only apple could design something with this crazy level of attention to detail.

The display is amazingly crisp, the battery life is great and the taptic engine is so much nicer that an out of balance motor.

I really think they nailed this product, well worth the money.

I am also really noticing the attention to detail in the software. First off, that pairing animation looks straight out of Iron Man, seriously. Kudos to Apple for giving us a wow moment right out of the gate. I'd love to know how that spinning ball of dots is conveying data to the phone. Beyond that, I am very impressed with how everything looks and works, the little animation details in the watch faces, etc. Also discovered yesterday that you can receive and play a video clip sent in iMessage. Nice surprise.

Yes, I love the watch and am particularly glad I went with the SS Black Classic Buckle, ordered the Green Sports band at the same time AppleCare+ and have an extra charger now.

The Black Classic Buckle doesn't seem to have the quirks or the loop that I was originally going to get, it looks smart and it's comfy.

The Green Sports strap is a great alternative for sweaty or wet stuff and it looks a completely different watch with that strap and a different face.

The functionality is great, I hope they evolve it slowly to do more of the same rather than making it do stupid stuff like watching movies or doing video conferences. A screen that small? It's bad enough doing that stuff on a phone. Let's focus on the good decisions they made and appreciate them.

Lovin' it

No regrets. I was afraid I may not like it.

I was using the UP24 fitness tracker and this is by far superior. Except, I do miss the sleep tracking, and UP gives better motivation by explaining why you need to do whatever... However, for over all fitness the watch pushes more because it is based on calories versus steps.

Most people don't notice the watch, but some I thought would jibe me for the purchase have been in awe. It is also nice not to dig out the phone for apple pay.
It is a beautiful first generation device.
