Yeah I really love the look! Only issue I'm having now is can't seem to get the top part of the band locked in place. Sounds like a common issue.

Everyone I know with a nylon band has had issues with the connector, but I think it breaks in and gets more usable over time.
 
I was just able to get it locked in and yeah I'm sure it'll be fine.

There might be difficulty getting it out the first time but I think the connectors will be fine after the initial use. A bit weird though that Apple would let this pass QC.

Anyone bought the "new" saddlebrown Classic buckle? They slightly changed them to stitched leather.

I am waiting to see someone with the midnight blue leather band and storm gray one as well.

I'm holding out for those 2
I have the midnight blue CB on the way. Should be here in a couple of days. I will post pics when I get it.
 
i wore my new black & gray nylon band Saturday. it's so very comfy! I love the sport bands but that was truly put it on and forget it's there!
 
My Scuba Blue came earlier than expected! Really loving these woven nylon bands, SO comfortable and light! I agree with everyone saying that you forget your wearing it with these bands, definitely true.

I might be turning into a bit of a Nylon band junkie...already had Pink & Scuba Blue and have been loving them. Yesterday, a Pearl showed as in-stock at my local store, so I nabbed it. And then when I went to pick it up, a Gold/Royal Blue may have found its way into my bag as well... :D

I can see why! Really loving my Scuba Blue and woven nylon, don't think I'll be wearing a SB for a while...

Thanks for the pics, I'm definitely getting one of these now for the summer. I'm just hoping apple watch 2 uses the same straps.

No problem!
It is an awesome band for summer, really beachy/marine look. I imagine the AW2 will use the same lug mechanism, especially since Apple is pumping out a ton of bands lately.

Picked up a Gold/Red woven nylon today, pretty impressed at the lightness and comfort of these nylon bands. Still have my Scuba Blue to be delivered on Wednesday, but since these nylons seemed so nice I wanted to have a two of them, and I'm glad I picked this one up.

Hadn't really considered this color but after seeing your photos, I really like the overall look and can see it going with more than I originally thought. Thanks!

Yesterday just got my first nylon band and like you are impressed as well. Needless to say I don't think it will be my last! BTW if anyone is interested in more photos of a Pearl band on a SS AW, here's a link to mine: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/show-off-your-apple-watch.1872015/page-256#post-22770548

Glad the pictures helped! I also wasn't considering that one but when I saw it was in stock at the AS I decided to check it out and sure enough it really looks nice! I can totally see myself picking up another of these especially for the summer since they are absolutely the most comfortable of the bands I've tried.

I'm debating whether to pick up a knock off Leather Loop from Amazon or an Official Apple Watch... I'm torn between the two.
From someone who had a third party and then got the official LL, I can say the quality of the OEM is miles better. Perhaps try eBay for a gently used OEM LL, that's where i got mine and saved around $50.
 
ordered two more nylon bands: pink and royal blue!

returned the yellow one. I only have one outfit that I can wear it with and it wasn't the right shade (not quite bright enough)....
 
I wish they would make one with an aluminum adapter, don't think the stainless lug would look very good on the Sport.
Yeah I know. I know I bunch of the SB Apple Watch owners want SB lugs. I don't know why Apple has not venture out with the lugs.

I guess they don't really think the CB would look good on the Sport and figure people don't want it, but I disagree as I'm sure many others do. The ML looks just fine on the silver sport despite the stainless steel sides on the lugs, and though the Sport does look less classy than the SS, it can look quite good with the classier bands.
