Same here! Thank goodness I prefer the Sport Loops lol.
I get that they're comfy, but I don't find the Sport Bands un-comfy. The Sport Loops look, hmm, less neat, in that they tend to form a wide loop where they fold over. It sticks out. One can remedy this a bit by wearing it really tight, but then it's no longer comfy. If there were a crease ironed in there, so it laid flat, it'd look a lot nicer... but then it wouldn't be infinitely adjustable any more (any adjustment and the crease would be in the wrong place).

I'm happy others like them, but they don't do as much for me. Sports Band FTW.

(In comparison, the Leather Loop also folds back, but it's much more adept at this, and lays nearly flat.)

I agree with this, personally. I know everyone is different. I do like the sleeker, more uniform look of the bands. I HAVE started to wear more loops though, and I agree that they are more lightweight and pretty comfortable, but I still can't bring myself to workout with any of my loops.

I always change out to a band when I do anything that requires me to sweat...with the bands, I wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and some water/alcohol solution I keep in a spray bottle for cleaning screens and such, and then the bands are instantly clean and free of sweat. I hate the idea of getting a loop all sweaty... and I know that's crazy because that's exactly what they are made for...

but those are the two reasons why I have both... I wear the loops around the office/home during normal activities...the bands are for working out and being outside doing activities that would get the loops too dirty for my liking.

I used to only have a Milanese Loop (silver with my S0, black with my S4) along with a black leather loop. With the S4, I added a Black Link Bracelet thanks to the thread about the eBay seller chargerstore which saved me 50% over retail.

Then the Nike Hyper Grape Sport Loop came out and I was instantly hooked (it is now my normal band). :D

I have since added a few more Leather Loops along with a few Classic Buckle bands (I like the leather bands a fair bit).

I've recently been eyeing the Pacific Green sports band but it's been out of stock. Now it's not even listed in the store. Did Apple recently get rid of a bunch of colors?

Unfortunately it was a seasonal colour. It was announced back in November 2018 for the Winter season

Interesting - which exclusive bands would be shipped with these watches?

How do you know??? 0_О

Seems a smart guess. NOMAD makes a titanium link bracelet for the Apple Watch at $200 (so Apple will want at least the $450 of the stainless steel link bracelet and probably closer to $600).

The question will be whether or not the titanium watch comes in different colors. If they can do Space Grey and Gold, then I could see it replacing the stainless steel models. If not, then it will probably join the ceramic model as an Apple Watch Edition.

Raw Titanium color only (Hematite Quartz) and not sold separately
 
I don't think they'll replace the steel with titanium, personally- they'd be very different looks overall.
I have a stainless silver Apple Watch and my wedding band is polished titanium and they look very very similar. I’m not sure about different titanium colors though. Titanium is very very light so this could make the premium watch as light as the aluminum one which would be cool. I buy the stainless model for the sapphire screen primarily but I do wish it was lighter.
