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.
Got a tip for us?

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.
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.
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... 
I can see why! Really loving my Scuba Blue and woven nylon, don't think I'll be wearing a SB for a while...I might be turning into a bit of a Nylon band junkie...already had Pink & Scuba Blue and have been loving them.

For whatever it's worth, my daughter's 38mm pink nylon band connectors went in perfectly to her 38mm stainless.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Great picture! Like the background, and the band looks very classy.I got the midnight blue CB to add to my Saddle Brown CB.
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.
