In a van down by the river
Got this today. Nike+ s3 Bright Crimson Red / Black loop. It doesn't really look as dark as the first pic shows. Bad lighting is what caused that. The second pic is accurate as to what it looks like.

So, what is your favorite style Apple watch band?
Thinking about purchasing the Space Black Apple Milanese Loop to go with my SB SS watch. $200. is a hard pill to swallow for that band though.

For general use, (non-workout) the leather loop is my favorite. It is very comfortable not to mention it looks really good on the SS model.

I have contemplated a Milanese loop. And from what i have read thus far, a lot of people like the look and feel of the Milanese band but are not happy with how easily is scratches. I agree with you about $200 for the band.

not too happy with the Nike SG AW3 with the black/platinum sport loop....
when you strap in on your wrist one side looks completely black ...other side facing everyone looks silver and black...
the inside the of the band is black....so when you strap in shut you are looking at the inside...

Macy’s.

Just ordered from Macy's. On my order confirmation page it's listed as cobalt blue but when I click the link it goes to the ultra violet 42mm. Also said ships with 2 days and the expected ship date is 1/16

This is going to be a crap shoot if I'll get the right color or even get the band at all.

The Best Buy site says "Getting more soon" order now and will ship as soon as available.

I believe even the Macy's deal is dead.
When I placed the order with Macy's it stated ships within 2 days and now states ships 1/16/18

I'm thinking everyone is sold out of the Ultra Violet. :(

OK, Macy's emailed me that the band has shipped.
I took the free shipping and it looks like it's being shipped by UPS Surepost. :(
I might be waiting quite a while on this super slow shipping method.

That’s amazing! I didn’t know you could swap the buckle... I have one Fauvena that is aging well, but I’m happy that I could just swap it if something happens to my band!! did you use any special tools?

I just used a mini flat head screw driver. But you can get the spring bar tool if you feel more comfortable with that. To make it easier you can just search on YouTube “how to remove springbar on Watch”. Took less then 10 mins and will prolong your fav leather band.
