It is like saying that strawberry ice cream is nasty. Why bother to state that on a thread where people are enjoying that flavor? (Trolling?)
I don't like wearing silver colored watches everyday and think the SG will look better with either silver, gold, copper, or bronze bands. I see no need to post that opinion on a SS thread, however.
I'm waiting for my Click-M adapters and their bands for a 38mm SGS. When they arrive, I'll post here. I hope someone designs a gold adapter soon.
If Apple decides to sell the black SS band-less I'll may buy it and sell the SG. Until that happens, I'll enjoy my SGS.
is my thread
Ahh. Start a thread and then trash what you had. Got it.
I do too. Wish there was an Apple 38mm model. Perhaps a 3rd party is filling that gap.
Looks great, thanks for posting-it's always nice to see 'real world' pictures of things like this, rather than promo pictures.
I think I'm going to treat myself to a green band and hope that the red one really is coming.

Wow that looks much better than they look on apple.com.
I think i might order one. Looks like it might match the Nike Vapor/Volt color.
looks like there are listings for space grey adapter from Sykla coming up but still no actual picture.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the color. Nike's Volt color is slightly more yellow but they're very close.
I bought an $25 adapter (actually two, one space grey, and one silver simply because it came right away, thus its appearance in the photos below) and used cheap Chinese blue leather and metal bands I bought off eBay.
For example, here's a $5 (five dollar) fine link black Milanese:
with traditional closure under my wrist:
Yeah, it's super cheap, but it feels nice and looks better than the photos in real life. Now I just need the space grey adapter to arrive so it'll all match.
(It's a lot easier to explain to my wife twenty $5 bands showing up in the mail over time, than one $100 band -)

Where did you find the space grey adapter? Is it the one that turns out to be black like stated in another thread? Thanks in advance
Wow, I think you just sold me on a green band with those pics to be honest. I think that looks incredibly awesome. It's pretty funny because earlier I was commenting on how I wasn't a big fan. I think the lighting used will have big impact on the impact and color of the band. Looks great in your pics for sure.
I'd love to see the blue on SG as well.

Link to the band? I found this one and made an order for a 24mm. This band is identical to my skagen band which I love.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201269547279 is the one I got, but just search eBay for perhaps even better ones.
The space grey adapter hasn't come yet (as I said, that's why I used the silver one).
I hadn't heard that some have come as black. Thanks for the heads up!
Btw, the silver adapter came with this leather band for $26 together from Amazon Prime: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X3L4X9C , although it looks like the price is now $28.
I actually bought it just so I could use the adapters for a blue leather band I bought
The best thing is that the adapters use regular Phillips screw heads, so a regular cross head precision screwdriver will work:
Also, for those who've asked, this was a 22mm band on a 38mm Apple Watch.
Did those adapters come with the band? They look like a good black color and the fitment seems perfect.
No, didn't come with the band. Came from: http://applewatchbandadapters.com
..they were the only seller at the time but more options on eBay now apparently.
I like that a lot. Perhaps one not as thick, but love that more than the Apple sport band. Links/details?
