Do you plan to buy a lot of bands for your Watch?

[phreddyl]

I have ten colored sports bands: RED, ORANGE, MIDNIGHT BLUE, STONE, WALNUT, PINK, LT ORANGE, LT BLUE, YELLOW, AND PURPLE.
It's fun to change the colors to match your mood (or outfit). I'm using the RED now!!

I think we need a support group

I change mine to match my silicone case when using the sport bands

Has anyone purchased the scuba blue? I'm a bit bummed. It doesn't look like the pic at all. Seems way darker. I'll take a pic later.

I got the black nylon last week and I'm kind of iffy about it. Unlike the sports bands, you get two pieces, not three, and since I have a small wrist, it wraps further around than I would like. I'm pondering a return. Had I been able to see/try one in the store, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I was going to buy the scuba blue because I really wanted a blue band. I wound up with the pearl and black bands.

so I just purchased this leather band from Amazon and am pretty impressed with the quality honestly. It's the first leather band I've found at this price that actually feels like real leather, fits well, and looks very good. Take a look if you're looking for something similar
Amazon.com: Apple Watch Band, LoHi 42mm iWatch [100% Genuine Leather] Replacement Watch Strap Wrist Band with Metal Clasp for Apple Watch & Sport & Edition (42mm-Brown): Cell Phones & Accessories

did you try the apple leather band at any point? I have the SBSS 42 and I just don't know how any band with silver buckles will look. But for $17.99, it's worth trying it. Does it seem sturdy to you and durable? Do the lugs fit well or is there any excess that sticks out, etc... ?

Got a SSSB for my birthday with SS Milanese. I'm thinking about a leather band and a sportband. I may go Apple on the leather classic as I have a gift card too. But I wish that came with SB lugs/hardware. Will need to see it in store to decide.

For working out, I'll prob grab a red sport for working out. Love the black/red combo....

You may be able to switch out the lugs.

I have a saddle brown leather band. It's by far my favorite Apple Watch band and takes the design to a whole new level IMO.

I didn't want to spend the money on the apple one honestly. The band I got seems very sturdy and the lugs fit flush and clean looking. I'd definitely buy again. My only gripe is the lugs are SS which clashes a bit w/ my SG Sport, but it's not something that is too noticeable.

That will depend on the prices.

Well.... Not really

Nice. Do the OEM Apple lugs screw apart similarly? Otherwise these sure of no benefit if you wanted to replace the lugs on an apple band

I like the band. I will consider the apple band as I have a decent gift card balance. Just not sure how the non space black lugs will look with my SB watch? But as above, looks like I may be able to replace my lugs.....but then I guess why bother if the rest of the hardware on the band isn't SB either

Yeah that's a tough decision. I'm not sure how it would look with mismatched lugs.

I'm going to look at an Apple Store. I may consider buying g the Pad and Quill leather band and then use my gift card on a sport band and other accessories

Pad and Quill makes really nice leather bands. I almost bought one but then got sucked up by this Apple leather band.

I'm still kind of leaning apple given I have the gift card. As I said before I at least need to go see it in store.

Well, if I want something soon, perhaps my decision has been made for me....the Whiskey color with black hardware is out of stock right now for the 42mm
