I ordered the Classic Band, mostly to stay within the initial delivery window. But I also ordered the Milanese Loop and Link bands, though after trying it on today, I'm not sure I'll keep the Link band since it's heavy. Who else ordered multiple bands, and which ones?
 
I ordered the white sport band and a black leather loop with the 42mm SS. If I get another band in the future it will be the Milanese loop.
 
I ordered my watch with the Milanese band, but I ordered a white sport band for exercise. I also want a leather band at some point, probably the modern buckle, but right now it won't 't be available until July.
 
Sticking with the link bracelet until they come out with a better selection of bands, like an elegant mocha band that you find on many luxury watches. The current selection is a little boring and on the safe side.
 
I'm probably going to order a Link Bracelet to go along with my Classic Buckle. Anyone know if Apple Retail Stores will be selling bands on April 24, or is that online-only, too?
 
Along with the SS blue leather loop I also ordered 2 sport bands, one white and one black. If I like the blue leather loop I may order the brown one at a later date.
 
Ordered a link bracelet, milanese loop and a black sport band in addition to the white sport band that is coming with my watch. I like all of them but have to choose between the link and loop; can't afford both.

My guess is online only for now.
 
I ordered the watch with a black sport band, and then after seeing it in the store, I ordered the Milanese loop.

Or later. Right now you can't even place a pre-order for a Modern Buckle separately, though you can place an order for a Watch with Modern Buckle for June or July (pink) delivery. It's the opposite of the link band in which you can order a different Apple Watch (sport band) for 4-6 week delivery and a link band, and get both before the link band Watch.
 
My watch will come with the white band, my partner's with a milanese band. I also ordered a couple other sport bands using a gift card I had been saving. So we'll have multiple bands to use.
 
I ordered the Space Black SS, but will not be using the link bracelet much.

Ordered a black sport band to go with it.
 
I ordered a sport black, then decided the blue might be kind of cool for the summer. Looks like the bands will be here before the watch!
 
I didn't, but I am getting ready to to order the black and green sport bands. Was seriously impressed with them in the store.
 
I preordered the watch with a black sport band. I've also preordered additionally the blue leather loop and Milanese loop bands although I'm not sure if I will keep both. I like them both but not sure if I can justify the cost.
 
Didn't really want to, but had to to get the combo I wanted.
SS w/ Link was 4-6 weeks.
SS w/sport was 4/24-5-8, and ordering Link separately was 4/29-5/12

So I am getting an extra band...
 
Nope. Going to wait for 3rd party straps if anything as despite being accusto,ed to paying the Apple tax, £130 for a leather loop is taking the p!$$.
 
I ordered a green 38 mm Sport and added a pink sport band and milanese loop. I figure it will take a bit for the really interesting 3rd party bands to come out, so this will keep me occupied for now until 3rd party reviews start rolling in.
 
Yupp! I got the 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch Sport (with 4/24-5/8 delivery)and I ordered the Milanese loop (ships 2-4 weeks) in a separate order like two seconds later. Well I was just checking my orders today, and apparently I accidentally ordered the 38mm Milanese Loop instead of the 42mm band. I just checked and the 42mm Milanese Loop will now not ship until June :(
