I am not certain if there is a thread on this topic already so I'm starting one to help me decide. Getting my Space Black Stainless Steel (SBSS) Apple Watch in the next two weeks and I wanted to see if anyone has ideas on other band options. Please share any pictures or ideas that you have on possible combinations with this style. Currently leaning towards a simple White Sport band.

I'm still on the hunt for Space Black lugs...I think a nice rustic or distressed brown leather band would be a very classy option for this watch...

I like that option too. I love the Black Panerai with a distressed leather band.

I am on the lookout too.

How do you like the Blue leather loop with the black watch? One of my favorite configs is the regular SS with the blue leather. Are you liking the look of the black on blue? Sometimes I look at it and like it and sometimes I don't...

Honestly its just ok to me. It's not eye popping, its not loud, its just a dark leather loop. I like that its comfortable, but there are times I question why I spent $150 on it because Ive worn it twice since having the watch. I usually wear the link bracelet or the black sports band which are my 2 favorites at the moment.

I want to get the black sports band, as well as a black leather loop (maybe from amazon tho)
But I kinda like that white sports band too... and I saw a Really nice red leather one from a shop online but I think it had SS links, not black, I dont think that would jive

I bought the Stone Leather Loop. Hoping it will look good for a more casual look. And my SBSS June date just updated to 22 June - 26 June.

I looked over it in the store; I'm not a fan of the non-black metal piece for the loop, but it is probably not noticeable. I'm sticking to my link/black sport/black pin. May, however, get a white sport band at some point, like Stephen Colbert! (But not having the same watch as him)

I found black lugs on eBay and ordered a custom band from SteveO.

The lugs aren't stainless.... But I like it.

Wow. Thanks all! Getting my watch tomorrow and I have a Blue Leather loop one ready for it! I like the leather loop for the fact that it doesn't have any metal on the bottom. Which also makes it easier when I'm resting my hands on a keyboard at work. That white sport band does look good too.
