Got my watch in May and I've owned 3 bands. The black sport that came with the watch, a black 3rd-party link band ($20) and a black 3rd-party leather loop ($30).

The sport is comfy but looks very cheap. Link band is too heavy on the wrist with the weight of the watch, I don't like how the 3rd-party versions have a gap between the band connection and the watch body. Looks kind of tacky from close.

The leather loop is by far my favorite and I don't even switch anymore. So very comfortable and the one I got is identical to the Apple version for a fraction of the cost, I can't believe Apple's markup on these bands :eek:

I have 11 bands and counting. While I love Led Zeppelin, they aren't even in the top 10 here.

My red leather loop is by far my favorite, and I've found myself not wanting to switch to any of the others.

Actually... probably my Blue Sport Band. Super comfortable, perfect for my active lifestyle, durable... and looks awesome.

A close second is my Milanese loop... looks great when I need to dress up, infinitely adjustable, breathable.

My third band is the Black Sport Band that came to my SS. It's useful when the blue doesn't match what I'm wearing... but it's pretty bland :)

I'm so torn. I like the sport band but I sweat with it on. I tried the classic buckle but don't have quiet the right fit so it's either slightly tight or loose. I like the leather loop but feel like I have to adjust it during the day at times. I think my favorite band overall is my nylon monowear band. I got a leather one as well from them and it's okay.

Overall I have too many damn bands.
