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.

I guess your only solution would be to use mounting tape on the base.

Yeah, My husband is making a hole in to the bottom plastic base with his drill to drill in place on top of a heavier base and then attach the dock itself again. :)

I have the 38 MM SS with the ML and have also sucked it up and have the LL band now from Apple. I ordered this band yesterday - http://www.bandrbands.com/Apple-Watch-Band-38mm-Drab-Olive-Velcro.aspx - It's not feminine (I don't do girly really) but I think it would look nice for a more casual look. I got the expedited shipping for 6 bucks and it will be in my mailbox tomorrow. I will post pics when it comes in.....

Regarding docks I ordered a cheap wooden dock from Amazon for 13 bucks. It looks amazing - there's a place for my watch and my phone. The charging cable for the watch would fit flat but unfortunately I have so many links out of my watch - my wrist is 140 mm - that I have to raise the charging magnet up to connect to my watch - the ledge of the dock where the watch should wrap around is too large for my little LL band. Well worth the money - the phone portion accommodates my iPhone 6+ nicely.

Orange??? They have Orange?!!!!! Ah, my interest has suddenly increased significantly. I love most colors but orange is absolutely my favorite, as any of my friends can tell you. So far I have not gotten into other bands for my Apple watch, I am still just madly in love with the black stainless steel link band, but I know that one of these days I WILL be ready for something different....

I order the black one and love it but can't wear it :( I'm so sad. I ordered the xs size and it's still to big for my wrist. The watch continues to lock on me because the watch isn't right on my wrist. However the band is sooooo awesome.

I also ordered the extra small - really hope it fits. None of the bands make the watch fit tight - it slides which is how i normally wear a watch b/c of my small wrists. I don't have issues with locking - only occasionally will it lock thank goodness. My band should be here prior to lunch if the mail runs on time. I will update you all.

Is it me, or is that really pink? I don't have the color fonts on my Watch. Huh?

It's red, but they have pink too. It's a customize option when you choose a certain face you want. You move your dial up and down to change colors.

It's red but they have pink. It's an option in normal iOS 1
Actually they don't and that's why we were asking because the only options available are red, watermelon which is the "Apple Pink" and purple.

Here it is - it does fit and doesn't lock so it's a close enough fit 2015-07-24 20.21.58.jpg ....It will take getting used to but I think it's a great quality and would probably look better on someone with out tiny wrists - my wrist measures 140 and I ordered the Extra Small. 2015-07-24 20.21.58.jpg

LOVE IT! Glad it fits :) I sent mine back today for a 38mm. Hoping that fits better then the 42mm xs. I put 38mm bands on my 42mm watch so maybe it will be smaller.
Love yours and that's the color my husband has that I love.
