My gold sport watch came with the midnight blue band and gold pin . . . looks sharp!

But when I bought a second band the black sport band for $49.95 it came with a stainless steel "silver" pin. . . . looks cheap with the gold watch.

If you call customer service they can call a store near you and see if they have the black band with the space grey pin in stock. My local store had a few in stock they said so I took the silver pin model back and exchanged it for space grey.

Don't settle for apples initial choices. A gold pin should have been an option now that they have the gold sport model.

But at least the space grey is a decent trade off. Save your packaging material too as I'm sure apple will offer other optional band colors . . . with a gold pin to go with gold sport models in the near future. If they don't, it will only serve to steer more owners to buying the knock off bands.

If you have been wearing it, just wipe it down with a rag dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove any oils before you re-package it and it will look like new!

If you are not near a store, just order the black band with space grey pin and after you receive it return the silver one for credit or drop it off when you are near a store.

For now the space grey is much better looking then the silver with a gold watch in my opinion ;)
