I got my other black SS Link delivered today! I ordered it directly from China and it took a loooong time to ship to the point that I gave up and bought the Fossil SS Link. The quality is not as good as my Fossil but in terms of color and design I kinda prefer this one better than the Fossil SS Link, take a look :

I think I found this one or very similar on Amazon without having to order adapters separately:

I almost got a space grey sport with black band but decided on the aluminum with white as it was shipped faster (the 38).
If anyone wants to swap their extra black band (38) with either my white small or medium (I can wear either), let me know.

These space gray adapters just came in and the color is the closest I've seen yet. Here's the link-http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XP...ch+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41SbM2RgQ7L&ref=plSrch
I am looking to pair it with a bright red band I ordered from eBay(not received yet)

The red silicon strap came in. The silicon doesn't feel thin or cheap. I do wish the buckle was space gray, though. But, I think it'll do until Apple releases their red sport band.
Stouch space gray adapters from Amazon-$18
Red 24mm watch band from eBay- $11

I think the strap needs to be a little wider.

I can agree with this. They were listed on eBay at 24mm. But, I'm not an OCD watch buff, so it doesn't bother me, but I do enjoy the red color. I knew going in that it was just a filler until Apple releases a red sport band

I just got this Pomarks brand link bracelet off Amazon, mostly because it was available with prime. It came with two lugs that I had to manually attach to the bracelet, but the color looks really good on my SG Sport. My only complaints are that the lugs appear to be a bit loose, and I could really use another link (I have very large wrists, apparently). Not bad for the $40 I spent.

In the photos, there's some sort of bracework that extends across the back of the Watch. How does this not interfere with the operation of the sensors?

That's part of the clasp mechanism. Thus, it goes on the other side of your wrist and no contact with the watch when you're wearing it.

I'm using an old shark mesh bracelet I used to use on a Seiko.

I got a pretty nice steel link band with springbar adapters from freedomoclock/Utica guy, but decided I like the shark mesh better.

I don't trust the screw adapters AT ALL. I'd have to locktite the heck out of it, which basically locks it in to one band per adapter. Spring bars have been used on high end diving watches for a LONG time because they're very dependable. I like that they're easy to change also.

This is a 22mm shark mesh that I flared out at the end just a little so there's no play in the 24mm adapter.

I have a brown leather one that cost $6 at Best Buy (was in the Pebble section) and then got an extra adapter. It really disguises the fact it's an Apple Watch (which is a bonus to me). I also got a black leather band that looks a lot like Apple's, except 1/7th the price. It's broken in nicely too and really looks classy - even with, or maybe because, it's got stainless on the adapter and clasp. It looks quite nice as a contrast to the SG finish. Until someone comes out with a truly matched SG adapter in color and texture, I'd rather it not look like I'm trying to match.

The only disappointment was when I ordered the white sports band after seeing a picture (here?) of it on the SG that I thought looked nice. Well it didn't have the desired effect on my wrist. My wife looked up and said, "Oh, you got a Swatch?" :mad:

But I had to admit, it just didn't suit me. Gotta return it before my window runs out.

It took about a week or so (maybe 10 days at most?) for the lugs to arrive -- the original estimate was for like 3 weeks, but they came quite a bit quicker than that.

Nice! It's been 13 days so far & the tracking info still only shows the acceptence scan from 6/30,No further updates. Hopefully soon.

Yup the white band looks terrible on SG.. It works great for silver aluminum & SS, but sadly just doesn't work with SG at all :(

I've never loved that style of leather band, but wow that is a good look. Might have to consider picking that combo up if my clockwork synergy bands don't work out when the arrive.
