This one is Space Grey 42mm with a 3rd party link bracelet. Doesn't look too shabby now, does it?

I've got 3 bands for my 42mm Apple Watch. A black sportband to work out with which serves its purpose but also looks nice. Then I have the Apple Milanese Loop and Apple Blue Leather Loop. I really like how both the Milanese and Leather Loop look! I especially like the Milanese Loop and the fit and feel of it.
So here's my one issue, tell me if any of you notice the same. The Leather Loop just doesn't seem to feel right. I don't know what it is but I constantly feel like I getting notifications an find myself checking it. Maybe it's not snug or something. Is anybody else experiencing this with any bands. I really like the Leather Loop look, but have stopped wearing it because of the constant feeling it is "tapping" me.
So after seeing all your photos, and finally seeing an Apple Watch in person yesterday I believe I'm gonna bite. Just not sure if I want the Space Grey or Silver Sport. The stainless are a little out of my price range. I never liked the look of the silver in pics, but in person they look pretty nice. Conversely, I think the Space Grey looks nicer in pics than in person. I'll probably get the SG though because I always get SG iPhones.
It comes from China so be patient about the shipping mine took a good 3 weeks. I also paid about 10 bucks less on Amazon Prime day.

look what arrived today! It looks and feels premium and after I shortened the bracelet I'm happy to report that it also sits very comfortable and snug. Nice one. The difference in their shades is somewhat noticeable but marginal enough not to bother me. Definitely a good combination.
Maybe the changed the shade a bit? But mine is almost a dead on match for my space grey watch! Your band DOES look a bit lighter than mine in the picture and this IS possible when you are dealing with China. lol Still though this is a great alternative to the 450 dollar Apple OEM link bracelet!
