Tried out a few things for a new post I'm working on, but I thought I'd add it to this thread, too. I've settled on Modular with calendar events in the center, but didn't want that on the example shot. It's a 38mm Sport (and trying it with a screen protector for now to prevent fine scratches on the oleophobic coating - at least until I am sure I won't swing my arm and bang it on something 
).

Yes, the 42mm was my first choice. Sometimes I feel like the black on black seems like an ankle monitor on my wrist, but otherwise, it looks fine. I'm really happy with it. I think I'll like it a bit more with a metal band, though.
Me too that's why I just ordered the hoco metal band on Amazon can't wait to get it
I think the watch will be quite successful based on my own 1 month experience but there will be a few HW changes that consumers will demand.

Really really nice! You understand watches I see
Which lugs did you use? Apple's or 3rd party?
One of the best pics I've seen of a 42 on a wrist! Looks very proportionate to your arm/wrist/hand!
Very nice!
Looks great!
You could have saved yourself $140 by buying a cheap $10 clear skin for the palm rest on your MBP though.
I was thinking the same thing, but after some testing with my old Seiko, the watch band rests pretty much on the edge of the keyboard deck - sometimes hitting the front edge of the MacBook, sometimes the top. I think I will buy one though, just for "special occasions" when I put the link bracelet band on....
I hadn't thought of going "clear" at all though - great suggestion! Thanks!
My husband's alarm didn't go off, so we ordered 2SG Sports Watch 18 mins after store opened. (Very late according to times here in MacRumors!)
Just received message from Apple.
Apple Store: Good news! Items in order W451622XXX have shipped and will deliver by May 22, 2015. For more info: http://www.apple.com/s/aR4R2u8iXXX.
WTF? I ordered my Space Grey Sport last week, Delivery in 4 to 6 weeks. UK here.
Funky! Now we only need a picture of a SG Sport with blue sport band to have a complete colourful set.
I coincidentally also have the green band (though 42mm case) and the same watch face with the same four complications at the same four corners.
Honestly I don't think the SB looks as good with the Sport Band as it does with the Link. I can see it as a 2ndary band for gym, hiking, etc. but I understand why they decided not to. And it would have been $699 as the SB is $100 more than the SS Link.
That said I think the Space Black metal looks classier with the bracelet. With the sport band you almost can't tell it's not plastic. Hard to really see in pics.
