When I tried on watches back in April, I knew eventually I would want a new band instead of the sports band. It's great for being the workhorse band, but there are nicer bands out there. I especially like the blue leather band. I'd LOVE it if it were red, but you know Apple and its colors.
I've almost bought one twice, but I get cold feet about it. I mean it's $150 for a watch band not a few months after I dropped $600 on the darn watch. I also just had to drop $160 on a new monitor for my iMac after destroying the video connection inside while upgrading a hard drive. I think it's just at a price point where damn I'd love a new band, but it's hard to justify it no matter how much I like it. I had the same issue with the watch, especially waiting a month for it, but knew how much better the materials were and how much better I liked the look.
The third-party bands comparatively look like junk. None of them seem to have the magnetic clasps like the Apple leather loop. That feature on the leather and Milanese models is one of my favorite things about them. I'm often torn between whether I like three or for notches in for my sport band, so the added adjustability is nice.
Anybody got opinions on the same conundrum? I may end up waiting until they hit Best Buy so maybe I could at least rack up some points.
