But white may not look as obvious as black for these marks. Too bad I can't wear white due to perspiration, the white will be dirtied very quickly. :o

i think you can give white a try. I use it for sports regularly sweating and getting smudges on it but it rubs off quite easily.

I never really take special care of it but it still looks new to me after two months.

Not sure if I should change the band colour for my 42mm SS but I find black matches best for wearing in all occasions and other more expensive band options are out as I perspire quite a bit and wearing leather will make the band worse and my wrists will get itchy. The link band is also way too expensive (can buy another 42mm watch sport) and the Milanese loop band looks weird, at least to me.

U are not alone. The black leather straps make my wrists itch n rash. I'm using the black sports band now n reserve the Milanese loop for formal occasions.

I prefer originals, though very limiting. Perhaps the next Watch 2 could offer more band options and maybe an upgraded Watch with less tethering to iPhone (more independent), Face Time camera and improved internals as compared to now.

Taobao is fine but Qoo10, has a first-time order and bad experience as well, so never went back.

I saw a third party black milanese loop quite nice for 39.90

Been using the Apple Watch since launch... still my favourite watch to go! :D

But the black rubber sports strap is indeed wearing out pretty fast where the ends meet and rub off pretty badly. I think might try and get a white sports band in the future to try out.

Perhaps the external part of the band won't be affected much, but on the underside there will be marks on where the bands contact with each other.

I had a look at mine again but can't see any... note that I am using the smaller sport band and the 2nd last hole so the end which goes underneath through the loop is quite short.

The sports band still is the best choice for me now, until the price of the metal ones drop further.

I'm using the second last hole from your opposite description so having these marks are inevitable.

Griffin charging dock - this is one of the few existing docks that support watchOS 2 Night Mode view and bonus is that it can hold iPhone on the front too. Also got clear screen protector too.

For those with metal bracelet, how do they use this?

Looks good. Didn't realise so many items available at Funan challenger. Is it easy to find? Will try to head there tonight then.

Currently on my way to orchard so hopefully will see accessories too.

Is the angle or height adjustable on the Griffin stand as my bedside table is actually a study desk so i would need to angle it down to see from bed.
