That's... a problem with a lot of Apple's Watch bands. There's a few of the leather ones I totally would have bought if they'd offered them with black hardware instead of (as well as) silver hardware. It's like they don't want the owners of Space Gray or Space Black watches to buy any of the leather bands (other than the Leather Loop). It bothers me a bit less with some of the other bands, I suppose, because the hardware doesn't stick out beyond the watch body, so it's a little less noticeable.Thanks! Looks nice. Just wish the lugs were black.
