One should only ever wear a watch behind the wrist bone away from the had - it's the proper and classier way to wear a watch. None of the bands slip when worn in this position.
Got a tip for us?

Well, I certainly agree that wearing the watch this way will prevent slipping, but I find it difficult to get used to.
Try it for a while and you will. It feels good when your wrist has total movement not obscured by the watch. NB: notice all the models (even C. Turlington) on Apples site wear the watch behind the wrist bone.
Yep that's the best way
I may get white and blue sports bands at some point so I mix it up
I have the blue sports band and it stands out and looks nice. I will probably grab the green sports band next. I have some shoes and gear it would go with nicely.
I've stuck with my 42mm SG with Black SB. Comfortable and I think it looks good eough to go anywhere.
Some of the new colors are nice too.

I bought a milanese loop to replace the black sport that came with my steel watch, and I'm having second thoughts now. While I love the design, it becomes super shiny and glittery under sunshine or bright light, so shiny I feel like I'm wearing a diamond bracelet, lol..
I find it now a bit too feminine for my taste. That much glitter and shininess might look better on woman wearing an evening dress than on a man's black&white suit. I'm thinking of returning it to the Apple Store for... what ? The link bracelet is way too expensive, the leather on the classic loop and the other one look almost like plastic instead of leather...
Maybe I'll just wait until a decent third party steel bracelet becomes available..

While I don't agree with you on the Milanese Loop looking feminine, I do understand that everyone has their own opinion. With that said, you can hop on Amazon and find some link bracelets that look similar to the Apple version at 1/4 the cost. I'd check the reviews thoroughly first. It has been said, you get what you pay for.
Yeah, that's what makes me hesitate. I browsed some third-party bracelets on the web, but unlike tech equipment, these are the kind of things I need to see upclose before buying ( just like clothes, shoes, etc.). At least with Apple's bracelets, I could see them in my local Apple Stores and I could see the level of build quality...
The main issue I have read about regarding third party bands has been the fact that the bands magnetic strips aren't very good and can slide right off the watch causing the watch to fall to the ground.
Me personally, I'd just pay extra and get what you want versus worrying about it. Especially if you are planning on keeping the watch several years.
