Indeed! I use my Milanese loop for everything. But if my local store gets the sport bands I will pick up a white one. But not in a hurry so I will wait. It is a good idea! And the same goes with regards to the case. Just don't like the appearance. I dread to think what would happen to the Space Black SS or Aluminium BSB version...

I've seen some pics of scratches and damage on those. They definitely need a case for rugged use. As you said, though, the cases aren't attractive.
 
First of all, never once has anyone put on a case for a watch before this product, and on watches 1000x more expensive


Second, I have yet to see a case that didn't look hideous

I ordered this case and love it! It's so thin you can't even tell its on and is protecting my
Watch. I ordered the PC hard clear. It snaps on the front and covers the screen and sides. A little extra protection isn't bad for peace of mind for the cost of my watch.

Order placed. Thanks for the recommendation. I have a Spigen tough armor case on my watch now but wanted something to protect but not take the beauty away.

IF i could afford the Stainless Steel model, I wouldn't get a case.

Because I have the aluminum model with the glass (plasticky) screen, I want to protect it.

I have apple care+, it's still $75-80 to get a new watch on it, (Canadian) and u only get 2 replacements at that price.

I have a $600 silver bracelet I wear on my other wrist and don't worry at all if it gets scratched up - adds to the character/look of the piece.

But getting scratched on your watch screen takes away the functionality of the thing, having to turn it certain ways to read it properly etc.

Having a purely fashion piece, I wouldn't care. But I'm protecting mine for the functionality.

Wow! You just brought back some memories when I used to have a Swatch fetish. Good times.
