Apple Watch bands + Suit and Tie

I only have to wear a suit twice a week but the brown and black leather loops do just fine. Heck, those two days that I wear a suit are the only days I can not see my watch because of the long sleeves!

I just really am not that much into getting my accessories to match, never have been.

I'm generally in brown shoes/belt combo (I wear a suit every day as well). This has been my go to for work along with the milanese loop I was just gifted (pic with sleeves rolled up to show the band).

I just ordered a darker band, link: http://www.amazon.com/PANERAI-24mm-Brown-Watchband-Original/dp/B004XX6D2Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1435683207&sr=1-1&keywords=PANERAI+Style+24mm+Brown+Watchband+with+Heavy+Original+Design+S/S+Buckle&pebp=1435683287048&perid=1P58XW8TM30PC3HNSWJ1

Where did you get the lugs?

The Milanese Loop is the only band needed. Works for all occasions and exercise, as well!

Yes, I have worn this daily since I got it in April and I love it. Easiest to take on and off, infinite size, snug fit, rugged, yet attractive. Doesn't pull my hair and I don't have the slightest desire to have a second band.
 
I'm swapping between the classic buckle and link bracelet depending on the day. Buckle for suit/formal occasions and link for casual.
 
I went and picked up the leather loop as I needed something a bit nicer than the sports band for my SGS. It'll definitely look better now than it did before. I think the leather loop takes the Sport from being a sports watch to more like an actual watch.
 
I actually wanted to get a monowear black stainless steel band for my sport, but they were sold out, so I went with this one, and am actually super happy. This is one of the only 3rd party bands besides monowear that has the nicer looking adapters without the big gap that I have found. Plus it is less than half the price and was prime. For the money (like $53), it is definitely worth it!

Mike Ross in Suits' last episode was rocking the SS with link bracelet pretty well with his suit! :)

Apple knows product placement better then anyone

I'm not sure this was an Apple Product placement. Patrick J. Adams actually got his watch on the release date. He was showing it on his instagram. I'm tempted to say he's a fan and likes wearing it everywhere!

On Hollywood sets, wardrobe picks out EVERYTHING you wear, you can't just wear your own clothes or jewels
 
I agree, but my guess is he brought his watch and they agreed to have him wear it. Not an "intentional" Apple product placement is what I meant. I could be wrong, but a feeling I have seeing how he's into his AW.

Not denying he doesn't have it or maybe even suggested he use it for the scene, but it all has to be approved


anyway, the link bracelet looks amazing, just no way I can spend $450 on it, $150 like I spent on my leather loop and milanese? Then I'd buy it

This is my choice... dress up gets the Link and more casual gets the classic with all workouts and chores and yard work using the black sport.
 
When I wear my suit I only wear my $17,000 gold Apple Watch. Other times I wear my sport. Hey wait a sec. I don't have a suit. That's good cause I don't have a $17000 watch either.
 
I thought I'd like the Leather Loop more but the frustration of trying to get it to fit me well and the cost drove me away. I'll be going sports band when I need to dress up.

Maybe the black leather loop?

I like the look of the black leather loop from the top (looking at the apple watch), but the band underneath reminds me of a Casio G-Shock watch, which doesn't really look right at work.

I ended up selling the link bracelet, which although I liked it I just couldn't justify keeping it due to the cost. Now use the classic buckle for work, and the blue leather loop for casual.
 
Black SS link is my daily wear when I am in my suit or not. It also goes rather nicely with my favourite set of cufflinks! :)
