How is your white sport band holding up? Very dirty yet?

As the title says. Holding up well? Have one ordered (still at processing), am wondering if they are a good purchase?
 
I ordered one as well and have the same concern. I've seen a few pictures that people have posted and it looks like dust and marks show up a lot on the black one. I ordered a classic buckle band just in case I don't like the BSB.

No problems with "dust and marks" on my BSB. I've used it since the 24th with almost daily workouts and I wear it from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed. YMMV

Curious about this as well? I have one (also still processing) and remember the white case from Otter Box turning a rather unattractive shade of grey in a few weeks. That being said from the feel of my BSB I don't see this being as being likely.
 
It's holding up great. I don't have a single mark and I've been working out, doing housework and other day to day activities.

I've been wearing mine all day, every day since April 24 and it has no marks and looks bright and clean.
 
Mine is looking great. I sometimes clean it after a heavy gym session - but I'd do that for hygiene reasons, not because it's white.
 
It cleans up surprisingly easy.

I had the same concern when I first got mine, but have since taken it trail running, gardening in the dirt, even fixing my moto. Almost everything comes off with a rinse in warm water. Once I had to use soap, and another time isopropyl alcohol to get grease and chain lube off.

After almost 2 weeks still looks mint. It's a fantastic material.
 
Looks like the day I got it (4/24).

I just received a black sport band, so I've switched to that as my daily driver. That said, the white really grew on me. I'll be wearing it on certain occasions as it has a more fashion-y feel.
 
Looks just like it was new. These things don't seem to stain or really pick up dirt like silicon cases or watch bands, and if they do a small wipe usually takes care of it.

Just another me too. I got my white sport band on 4/24 and I've been wearing it every day since. I haven't noticed any dirt or stains on it. I shower with the watch every day too, which might help keep it clean, but I don't really specifically spend any time cleaning the band in the shower.
 
Surprisingly dirt- and grime-free. I'm pleasantly shocked at the cleanliness and durability, to be honest.

I don't shower with it, but I do give it a rinse before putting it on the charger in the evening.
 
Mine looks as good today as it did when I got it 14 days ago. I haven't rinsed or washed it yet, but I did rub one small smudge off with a wet towel the other day. Not sure what it was, but it came right off.
 
had mine since launch day.

absolutely no gouges, scratches, discoloration. looks like the day i took it out of the box.

maintenance would be for me to wipe it with a wet towel (once through) every day or every other day.
 
I have a speck on mine (#speckghazi) but it was like that out of the box. Other than that it's holding up well even after heavy workout/sport sessions.
 
When I had the white band, it cleaned up well (even some indigo transfer from my jeans washed off). However, there was yellowing on the inside part of the band with the metal post, no doubt from sweat/skin oils. I wasn't able to clean that part.
 
Umm my white band is holding up amazing actually. I quite love it, and it's as bright and as clean as it was on day one.

I think they should start making the iPhone cases out of this material next. I would definitely invest in a white case then.

So true. Every white iPhone case I've tried ends up turning gray at the corners and edges almost within minutes of use. I've been pleasantly surprised how the white sports band seems so resilient to stains.
 
I've been wearing my white sport band every day for 2 weeks now and no signs of it getting dirty of discolored. Really amazed at how white it's staying. Apple should make iPhone cases out of this stuff.
