I currently have a few sport bands, a leather loop, and a Milanese loop clone. Just got the leather loop a few days ago; really love it so far. I also love my sport bands and I have to say they probably are my favorite. What are everyone's favorite Apple bands for their Watch? (Clones of Apple bands count as well).

I thought I'd love my leather loop most, but apples Milanese loop is so comfortable and versatile, I find myself wearing it the most often. Plus it looks so damn good with the SS.

For me is sports, because I could wash my hand and get it dirty all the time, without worry about damaging leather, or clean the holes in Milanese. Just warm water with little soap if needed, and wipe clean with my t-short I am wearing, if it gets dirty.
It is on my wrist as soon as I get home and outdoor in weekend.

I have the orig black leather classic and 3 sport bands (apart from a number of third party bands) for my 42mm SS Watch. I do wear my sport bands a lot, especially liked them during the summer when I wanted something that was sweat proof. A few days ago I pulled out my leather classic and have to admit I think it's my favorite at least for now. It can take me from casual to dress and is super light weight, more so than my sport bands. I like the minimal buckle loop. I wish Apple made it in other colors and still in the original finish. Not a fan of the channeled edges of the new leather classic bands but that's me. I have this band on right now in fact and have the watch face set to Utility with a white/grayish second hand and no numbers or complications. Pure simplicity and elegant yet casual.

That is a great thing about the sport band, it can be easily cleaned and taken in water if you want.

I love the look of the Watch with a simple watchface. Great way to make it look less like a smart watch and more like an actual watch especially when paired with a leather or metal band.

Red sports band, matching my Red silicone iPhone case perfectly. Modular watch face - multi-color.

I love my green sports band too, but I'll love it even more when I get my matching green silicone iPhone case.

Oh dear, I think I'm turning metrosexual! (Not that there's anything wrong with it) :D
