I still don't have a sports band! From what I've seen the new bands are quite nice, that blue classic buckle is fresh, I already have it in the saddle leather though. I just need a waterproof band so I may get a Nylon one over a sports band. The more I see the sportsband in person the less I like it.

"Maps improvements and new language support"
probably got new watch face colors to match the new bands
Apple Watch resale value is going to be pretty low by September...

I really like the look of the nylon bands I'm thinking of buying the pearl. Maybe Royal Blue too.

Looks like lots of watch apps are now broken. lol.
I wonder if anyone will even notice to fix them.

CNET have a couple videos of the bands. I like this one that's all up and close on the pearl nylon strap.
This one has some glimpses of the other Nylon bands

I have a black Sport and I'm looking to get some new bands, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions. I definitely want a more formal band. I'm planning on getting the leather loop, but does the black milanese band look OK with the Sport? I tried the watch on with some different bands when I got it and some of the nicer bands sort of clashed with the matte black on the Sport. Sort of wish I'd just gotten the regular Watch but I couldn't bring myself to pay nearly double for aesthetics.
I'd like to get another band or two just to have options as well, I think I'll get one of the nylon ones but I was wondering if there's any cool third-party options I should check out. I know there's inexpensive knock-offs of the various official bands but are there any cool unique bands out there?

I own this band. its very nice, looks super formal, looks great with the Aluminum sport and is a fraction of the leather band from Apple

I got a notification that there was an update for the watch last night, couldn't run it until the watch had 50% power and was plugged in - so upon getting home in the late evening I put the watch on charge and began the software update, then went to bed.
This morning the alarm didn't go off and I was late for work, what kind of shitty design is that? Don't recall iPhone updates doing the same thing.

My two nylon bands came in today, I think they look really good.

Tried on the Royal Blue nylon in the store today, was really nice. They didn't have the scuba so going back tomorrow to try it.
Which ones did you get?
LyleLanley

Pearl and Gold/Royal Blue
Any pics?
I ordered mine about an hour after the announcement, says I'll get it between March 30th - April 6th

Hopefully my store gets them in soon, I want to try on that Pearl one. It looks great on the website
For anyone curious about their daily heart rate readings and noticed the Health app kinda sucks for that, HeartWatch is pretty cool.

Speaking of apps, I haven't added a new one to my watch in a while. Have there been any genuinely useful or interesting apps added in the past few months?
iPhone updates definitely turn off alarms because the exact same thing happened to me.

Is it worth picking up one now or waiting for a new model?
infiniteloop

i'd wait tbh. Current model has many limitations and it's been a year and a half since first reveal. New should be announced in less than 6 months.

They just changed the price of out of warranty repairs to $199 today, btw.

That is a little more reasonable, figured I'll be out between $100 and $150 after I sell my old one.

It's really lame you can't see different straps with different faces on Apple.com. Unless I'm missing the option? I'd like to a nylon strap or two but I have a black Sport and I'm worried only the black one will look right.

...hate me...
They actually just launched that feature this week.

And the oooool’ unofficial website to do so as well:

Hey I got the same ones. I have the black sport band, stainless Milanese
Loop, and now these. I don't think I need both of the nylon bands. Thinking of keeping gold/blue. Which do you like better?
LyleLanley
Banned
I like them both equally but I think I'll end up wearing the Pearl one more. Gold/Blue seems great for summer though.

Ha, I didn't know this thread existed. That's what I get for never visiting the community forum...
Purchased a royal blue woven nylon band yesterday, and it's awesome. It really looks great, and is much more elegant and less futuristic than the sport band. As expected, the craftsmanship is way beyond your typical NATO band. It has really neat sheen in the sunlight. It's also super-comfortable, which I was expecting after trying Apple's other bands. I'll try and post some photos later (if I manage to get my camera back from a friend I borrowed it to)

It mimics how you have the app set up on your iPhone, so I just have mine set to give me the final score, and it looks like this on the watch
