Lady with a white Sport, 38mm here...I want the 5 bead HOCO badly but I'm too impatient to wait for one from China, so I ordered this from ebay to hold me over: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-mm-Silver-Stainless-Steel-Mesh-Metal-Band-IW-/141709865227?
I have the pin-style adapter from the Utica guy just waiting to be used.
Hope it gets here soon and that I can remove enough links - I have teeny wrists!
Great thread!

I bought some spigen screen protectors and some generic third party ones, including a tempered glass one. I fitted them all but I just didn't like the look and feel of the screen after it was applied. I've taken it off now. I also bought a spigen thin fit case but I felt that it made my watch too bulky so I stopped using it. I've got apple care so if it gets damaged I'll just replace it. I've had mine since launch day and it's still looks mint.
In terms of bands I've bought the classic buckle, the Milanese loop and a pink sports band. I really want the modern buckle in soft pink but it's not available.
I've also bought a spigen watch stand.
I haven't bought a new watch band for almost a month now so I'm itching to get a new one.

I didn't know you could actually use 38mm bands on 42mm watches. If I would've known I would've gotten the 42mmI love the modern buckle but it isn't available in 43mm size so it was a deal breaker for me but now I'm kind of disappointed because of the leather loop not being available for the 38mm. I guess there's those of us that feel left out in one way or another on every angle with apple but with the new bands coming that Jony Ive day viewed I hope they're available in the fall at the very least. A RED product band would be awesome.
Do any of you ladies wear bracelets with your watches?
I wear a couple. A stainless steel one and a different one that reads "achieve" on it on SS lettering engraving but on black and red leather. I use them randomly and not together.Would look funky though.
I'm waiting on my Leatherman Tread Bracelet to get here so I can wear with the watch.
I may be a a feminine woman but I love me my tools and. Never go anywhere without them since we live in CO and we do a lot of outdoor activities in the mountains. And the Tread is amazing so I'm excited for it to arrive.

Are the leather loop clones only for the 42mm?
Also, do you worry about the bracelets scratching the watch? I have a bracelet on the other arm, I fear scratches :/ I like to keep my Apple stuff in mint shape because I like to sell the current thing I own (iPhone, iPad) before I upgrade.

No, my AW is a 38mm SS version. That's why I ordered the clone, OEM not available in my size.
I don't worry about scratches. My watch before this one is a Rolex and I wore it with my bracelets too. I just take it to my jeweler for polishing if I happen to think about it or he takes my watch from me and just does it. I don't sell my stuff so I believe in getting full use of whatever I buy
. That's just me though.Thank you...just noticed you posted that you had the 38mm in the previous post, sorry about that! Those leather loops look tempting. Do you have a link to them? Also, I notice yours is almost at the smallest setting - how big are your wrists, if you don't mind me asking? Mine are tiny, I worry the loop may be too large for me.No, my AW is a 38mm SS version.

How fast did they ship? Or how long did you wait for them to arrive?
Btw, we've got the same bracelets.
I also wear mine with my watch in exception for the Achieve one made of leather. I'm ambidextrous so depends on the pain on my left if I wear stuff on my right.
Today I'm wearing my watch on my left but since I'm getting chemo in a couple of hours I'll switch to the right since I get poked on the left.Anyway. Good finds ladies!
Did any of you saw my post on the OEM thread that Freedomoclock09 on eBay who is trusted seller already is selling the leather loops?

I have 147mm wrists. My Milanese loop goes almost all the way back around and my WSB and BSB are on the 3rd hole from the tightest setting.
I live in Sweden. Ordered on June 30th and got it today so 9 business days.
Question ladies. How do you think a bright pink, blue ,or green (probably in toad or stingray) with a bit of contrast stitching would work with the SS version? Hubs doesn't like at all, but he is not a fan of any sort of bling, so looking for another opinion. http://www.combat-straps.com/MATERIALS.html

I think I'd look great! We don't have to play by men's rules here. We wear what we like if it makes us comfortable. I'd love a green bracelet with blue stitching or the blue bracelet with bright pink just because I'm biased since blue is my favorite color specially the blue at the bottom of the page. I think the green strap would look great with the pink stitching and the pink with either color would look bad@$$.Question ladies.

Thanks! Appreciate the input.
Well that's frustrating! Also I noticed that the adapter looks different than the adapter of the 5 bead I have! IMO I think the other adapter is better so I would just try to get your money back and the right size and the right adapterWell, that sucks for me.
My Hoco 5 pointers band arrived but. Lo and behold; now I'm waiting on the seller iVapo from Amazon to get back to me to find out what he wants. I waited nearly 3 weeks for the darn thing to arrive.
Hello Ladies!
Has any of you seen this band anywhere? If you have would you care to share a link for it?!
Edit:
Does anyone have an extra green Sports Band they don't need and want to swap with a Large white one that came with my SS?
PM me if interested.
Thanks in advance.

I had no idea a 38mm band would work!! I love how that looks! Is it as secure as a 42mm band?
I'm slacking. I have been wearing the same band for almost 3 months and have not had time to look for alternatives. There were a couple casemate bands that I liked but the last time I checked they weren't released yet.
I want the leather one beige and pink but yeah. Not available yet!I had no idea a 38mm band would work!! I love how that looks! Is it as secure as a 42mm band?

Some of them are at best buy already! I know the glitter ones and white leather were definitely there.
Hello Ladies! I am a proud owner of 38mm sports watch as of last Saturday (BD Gift ). So far have black and white sports bands. Just started exploring 3rd party accessories. Got many ideas from this thread. Saw one lady posted a picture of her watch and she has blooming flower for the watch face. I cannot find it anywhere, googled it but no luck. Would love to know how to get it. TIA>

It's the motion faceHello Ladies! I am a proud owner of 38mm sports watch as of last Saturday (BD Gift
when you select it you can change between jellyfish, butterflies, and flowers!
Yeah but the ones at BB suck. I went there to buy a few of them and instead left with an XDoria defense edge bumper because I didn't like any of the bands. I'll for sure get this leather one when available though.

Oh my goodness! Thank you
Changed!!!
So. This stand just arrived. It's from Ingram and although it is nice looking there's absolutely no weight to it. I honestly thought that for the money payed $37.00 would be a great heavy duty stand but it isn't. Doesn't even work as a paperweight.
My "Natures Best" stand has more weight than this considering its a small piece of wood and although I'm aware there's a chance of scratching on it, it still holds better than the iStand.
