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).
Got a tip for us?

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.
This is the strap: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290868276...49&var=590107448008&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
and this is the adaptor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321747837905?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Really impressed with both, but especially the adaptor. Looks very good quality, better than I was expecting.
These bands just don't look right with the dull looking sport model. We need bands that match the texture of the aluminum
It really does look better in real life. Even the jeweler agreed! The photos don't do it justice.
My watch doesn't get to me until the end of June...but I'm considering this 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! #

Thanks for the pictures! Looks really nice. I ordered one from eBay. Hopefully, it'll get here soon. Thanks again!!!
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.
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.

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.
