That's the same one I ordered, because it was the only one with Prime shipping that I could get tomorrow. Hopefully both ends fit. I also only want the adapter (until my Clicks ship).

If they both fit... you wont need the click adapter... The adapters aren't going anywhere.

The second order I placed, didn't have prime (first one did), so they already credited me back the non-prime cost.

My watch doesn't get to me until the end of June...but I'm considering this band...

http://www.amazon.com/22mm-Engineer...8-24&keywords=stainless+steel+22mm+watch+band

I have Kickstarted the Click adapter...and MAYBE I'll get the Click about the same time my watch comes! I'll be getting a steel band from them as well, but I'd like a butterfly clasp and a heavier duty metal band that matches the quality of the Apple Watch. Plus, it's only $85 rather than $450! #

These bands just don't look right with the dull looking sport model. We need bands that match the texture of the aluminum

I think this will be the biggest drawback of getting anything other than the regular SS watch. Less adapters/bands will be designed to match the Sport, SG Sport, black SS, or Edition.
 
Anyone think the hoco stainless band would look good on the black sport ? I'd prefer a black band but other that the monwear I can seem to find one.
 
I've been looking at all these adapters anyone have pics of the silver adapter on the black sport. I would prefer a black aluminum but can't find one.
 
Here is the link the guy sent me in pm
He posted a blue band and in the link it show black
Also what is the difference between clasp A and B
I'm a little confused myself
I really want a good adapter so I can buy the Nato watch bands
 
Hey guys!

I'm delighted you have all liked the band. Let me clarify for everyone how I got it done.

I purchased this band: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOQ3BU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For the single and only purpose of using the adapter that came with it. The adapter is very nice but probably not as good as the ones coming up in two months or so, that will be "Made for Apple Watch" so take this early adapters for what they are. Temporary solutions.

This particular band is a Hadley Roma and I really enjoy it. I also got another Hadley that I'll try next week. And if you look back into this thread you'll see my handmade german Di-Modell band. Look for your favorite online retailer of traditional watch bands and buy the 22-23 mm ones for the 42mm watch.

My Apple Watch with a custom bright blue leather band.
Click to expand...

Wow, this looks really good for more relaxed environments (offices, schools, etc.) Love it.
I like it more than Apple's leather loop; Apple's reminds me of the iPad cases, haha.
 
Just got back in town and was able to connect my first 3rd party band. IMO the 24mm bands look the best with the 42mm watches.

Let me know what you guys think:
