Orange goes with an amazing number of colors.....you might be surprised! Then again, I don't know what your wardrobe colors are now. For years friends have kidded me because very often I show up wearing something orange..... it's just "my" color! LOL! Right now the orange band isn't available yet in my local Apple store but I am hoping that it will show up soon!

a LOT of black/gray and pink! not too much brown/tan (that orange would go with) a tiny bit of navy...

mine should be here in 1-2 weeks

Also got this one from etsy. It's really nice but sadly too big for me so it's going back.

Now when it comes to the iPad Pro, as a modeler who uses Maya for mani things, and my Wacom Tablet it's exactly what the iPad Pro with the stylus makes me think off.
I'm staying away from the iPad hence I've got exactly the same but built specifically for what I do.

So I'm skipping the iPad Pro as well.
And about the color Sport Watches, the more I think about getting one, the more I don't want to.
Reason? Adapters. It'll be a pain in the neck for me to put up with all the bands I have with a non matching adapter so as much as I'd like an extra watch I'll skip to Model 2.0.

Here's the link for the deep purple Sport Band from MOKO. :)

Finally just ordered my first watch! Got the 38mm sport with white sport band. Wish they would have let me pick what initial band I wanted...

In sure I'll eventually have a brown and purple and maybe that red..

Thank you for the link to the purple sport band. It is going to look great with my black stainless steel Apple Watch. It looks like it will be here right before I get my watch which I will post pics once I get both the watch and the band.

Hey everyone!
I got the Vegan Leather straps today from the eBay seller NonZeroSum here:
http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/151706636137 and all I can say is OMG! They're so flipping AWE-MAZING!
They are soft like broken in to leather, they are tough and on top of that the quality is really good.
Now I remember someone here have had purchase a band from them. They are telling me this is the final version of the bands and they are actually even stronger PU than what they used in the beginning. For the price I have to say you get the best option out there for your watch.
They're elegant, they are unisex so not just women can use them but everyone, you can mix and match which I'll be doing this soon when the rest of the bands arrive because I'm excited to see all of the combinations you can do with them.
Here's some of the colors requested. Only 4 of them arrived and the others will be arriving sadly until October but for now here's these ones and I hope you like them as much as I do!
If you buy them, make sure you send a message to the seller telling them Jmona sent you in case they still have a discount available for the forum members although I don't promise they will still have any but ask anyways. Even if you save a buck or two it counts!!!

My lavender Apple sport band shipped this morning! Ordering the dark purple Moko now. :)
I think you will absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! Not only because they're vegan but they're actually really pretty in person the pictures don't do their Justice!

What Esty seller did you buy the brown leather band from. I really like it. Interested in selling it? Is it 24mm?

From Colorado also.

Hi Ladies,

I've been lurking all weekend as I'm planning a future purchase. LOVING all the pics!

I really love the look of the modern buckle, and also have my heart set on the rose gold sport.

What do you think about the mixed metals? My wedding band is mixed rose and white gold if that makes any difference on how mixes metals on a watch might look...

I came across this site yesterday while doing my search for new bands. I think they are way overpriced compared to what you can find on amazon but here you go.... http://www.xistwear.com/?gclid=CjwK...ZdgkUnkbEKOVLaK2MVN_H1PTmB6zxPmsF8RoCcQfw_wcB

Cheers,

Awesome, thank you for this.
I'd be very interested to see how the rose gold looks with the rose sport watch!
Cool to have the stacking bracelets to pair along with it, almost giving it a double-wrap look.

These look really great, and thank you for your review! I'll definitely be ordering at least one, maybe two. I love the hot pink one! (I boycott pink during October, but I have several winter outfits that would look really great with the hot pink band on my watch!)

First of all, your ring is beautiful! IMHO, wedding rings are in a special category and therefore exempt from the usual rules of "coordinating fashion".

Any other ladies have the 42mm? I have a large wrist (190 mm) and got the 42mm but debating if I should exchange for the 38mm. Here's a pic.

I think that looks great on you! I've heard that the 42 is better on battery life and ease of use as far as the touchscreen goes. It looks like it fits nicely.

Okay, this watch is fun, right? I took my paper punch and some Jibbitz from my Crocs. Just used my midnight blue band because I can always change the Jibbitz.

I have the large one. It's a fun watch and I want to be able to see how much fun I am having. BTW, has anyone tried the 38mm band in the 44mm watch?

Yes, works perfectly! I had a 38mm watch first because I thought 42mm was too big for me, but after seeing it in real life, it didn't look so big and I exchanged it for a 42mm. I use my 38mm leather loops on the 42mm watch. Of course you see a little gab on the sides, but it isn't annoying. BTW, I have a 155mm wrist and the 42mm is perfect.

I would really like to see what the space gray watch would look like with the lavender sports band..

Actually yes, and although I would'nt recomend it because of the huge gap left at the end of locking end, it should be up to you at your own discretion. However when it's 42mm to 38mm theres no way to make it work because the band is way too large for the device. For questions look at this guy's video on YT.
