Hello,
I am just joining this thread. I have a rose gold Apple watch and am colorblind. Would love to hear what color bands do you think look good with the rose gold. I have a Milanese loop and the blue and pink nylon band already. I am looking for a rose gold stainless bracelet that looks like the Apple link bracelet. Does anyone know of a band manufacturer that makes one in a 38 mm?

Thank you!!

Navy blue and cocoa sport bands. Definitely two of my favorites. I also have the blue with pink nylon band (with the blue edges) that came with the watch (so it has the rose gold hardware).

Light gray sport band.

Of course there's always white, too! And it goes without saying that the pink sport bands look good! As would the other pink and blue nylon band (the one with the pink edges)


I agree with everything that Caligurl said...I have the rose gold case also. My next band will be the cocoa sports band. F or something a little different, I really like the apple woven orange band with the rose gold.

I'm really interested in a leather cuff. Love the looks of the pad and quill cuff, but would love to see it on a woman's wrist. Anyone have one?

Question for the ladies that have the dual loop leather band... how does it feel? Does the watch feel too loose? Does it feel weird to have the extra strap? I have only had my AW for a week now, so I am just getting into bands. Thanks! And BTW, y'all ladies have some gorgeous bands!!

I've only had my watch for a couple weeks and I definitely have watchband fever. Are you referring to a wrap band by a third party? I haven't tried one of those yet, but this place makes a really nice one.https://arrowandboard.com/collectio...riple-tour-band-black#shopify-product-reviews

There's a thread on third party bands you should check out also....https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...d-strap-thread.1866289/page-139#post-24223794

And by the way...Which watch did you get?...Good luck!

Yes! I couldn't for the life of me figure out the name of it. LOL I have seen that some ladies really love it, but a few that I know have trouble with it not being tight enough to make contact. Thanks for the link, that's a beautiful band! My husband bought me a Silver Aluminum 42mm with white sport band. I just received a 3rd party Milanese Loop yesterday, and it's FABULOUS! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011CR8RZ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If they would make it for the 38 MM I would buy one. I have a really small wrist and the knock off ones you see on Amazon are way to big for my wrist. I emailed Pad & Quill last year when their cuff band launched and asked if there were plans to make it available for the 38 MM watch and they told me yes it would be available by last Summer 2016. It still hasn't launched so I'm thinking maybe they decided to scratch that.... :(

Cheers,
B

I got a double tour, and wound up giving it to a friend. I couldn't get it tight enough for the loop to not slip under the watch and cause it to lock.

Thanks B...I also have a tiny wrist, but I'm trying to decide between the pad and quill and the triple tour by Arrow and Board..

I really love that band! How long have you had it, and has the hole loosen over time?? Is the leather soft, or does it feel plastic?

Thanks, I've only had the band a short time and worn it twice. The company sizes you using what hole you use on an Apple sport band. Soooo, basically a custom fit. They make it a little tighter to allow for stretch. It is definitely real leather and is my favorite band so far. Check out their website and read some reviews. I don't think you will be disappointed. Here's another pic showing the band with the closure on the other side of the wrist. And yes, the leather feels great on the wrist.

I've gotta say my first reaction was: Giraffe? :p

I've been looking for a leopard print sport strap. I finally found one on Amazon. It wasn't Prime (it said it was Prime but it took 2 weeks) but only took about 2 weeks to arrive from China. It looks great. They had other prints - I will definitely be checking out their other prints in the future.

I recently purchased the gold aluminum sports AW2 with the concrete sports band. I'm looking for suggestions on other bands that go with the gold. It seems like there are more bands sold to go with the 'rose' gold than the regular yellow gold. I do wear my AW in bed since I track my sleep and heart rate with certain Apps.

Full disclosure, I'm not a lady but I have had this same problem! Cocoa is amazing with the gold, also midnight and ocean blue.

The gold will also look great with any black or brown bands....or the red or white sport bands too!! Lot's of great bands for the gold!!
