Bought it with the black/volt strap, switched to two-tone shenanigans :)

I just bought the black nylon band. I’ve boughten so many third party ones, end up disliking them I’m either returnin or stuck with them because cost to return makes it not worth it. And I have say people who say nylon is more comfortable then sports bands they weren’t joking.

I just got this one a couple of days ago. It's the new Nomad sport strap. It's $50 on Nomad's site, but $39.99 at normal price from Best Buy. I don't know why I like it, but the bigger band just looks better to me. It's pretty soft and it's as easy to put on as the Nike band that came with the watch. It does pick up a little lint, but I still think its my favorite band so far.

Official Nike band is the most comfortable, imo.

I have disagree. I thought same thing for while. I finally bought official nylon strap wasn’t going to, was very worried about being stiff etc. my wrist doesn’t sweat at all from normal use. I’d find that Nike band would be covered in sweat and felt like it would stick to my wrist. The not sticking my wrist is so nice. And it’s very soft. And the Nike and other sports band I would notice after month would wiggle a lot well it’s attached to my watch like doesn’t connect properly, The nylon band NO wiggle at all.

 Space Black Link 42mm, brand new. Am really satisfied with the look and feel of it, and got it for an excellent price from reading another forum on here.

Not sure if it's too feminine for a guy. I like the white bands though, they just looks so clean.
Two things: 1) the big problem with white leather has always been keeping it looking white, it shows dirt very quickly; and, 2) no such thing as "too feminine for a guy" - sure, you may get some stares/giggles if you show up at the office in a cotton sundress and high heels (without shaving your legs first), but far too many men worry about anything that they think might make them seem in any way less masculine. Don't worry about it. Wear what you like.

(Fun related fact - the notion of "blue for boys and pink for girls" is surprisingly recent - appearing about 100 years ago, and the first iteration suggested pink for boys and blue for girls - again, wear what you want.)

Haha that is the best response I could have asked for on that! Very professional while most everyone else online is a butt :)

I figured keeping it clean would be difficult, but for $15 I might have to give it a shot! I have a white sports band, but I must've ordered a small and it barely wraps around my wrist. I will submit an update once I get it with some pictures! I think it's going to look pretty awesome.

Update:

Received my white band with black buckle and I love it. It’s the glossy black but still looks good with space gray!

It sounds (and looks) like this is the official Apple version. I want this band, but don’t want to pay the price. What kind of deal did you get?
Juuk probably makes the best metal Apple Watch bands, maybe even better than Apple’s. They are expensive but not nearly as expensive as Apple’s options.

These look awesome. Thanks for the recommendation. I’m definitely going to check one out.

I have the Ligero Rainbow, Cosmic Gray and Cadmium! you can iMessage the founder/owner of JUUK Eugene Ho in hong kong at eugene@juukdesign.com very helpful!

Ps. I have NO connection with the company. I am a big fan of supporting companies that have passion of quality and Eugene has it.

Have to say while I haven’t been a fan of Apple’s Black Sport Band, I quite like the Gray!

Wow, I love the "Vitero" bands!! (Pre-Order for $149 though.) I still have a VERY hard time paying this much for a watch band - especially now when these bands are more expensive than my original 2015 Sport and SS is worth.

Ordered the Arrow & Board Horween Simple Strap today in Color #8 so it’s guaranteed that Apple will change the lug attachment design on Apple Watch 4 :cool:

When there's half a dozen intervening posts over the course of 10 days, nobody will know what you're referring to if you don't provide some more context.
i was responding to iMAN01's question. i did not quote his question.
Chill out dude.
