Sport version honestly doesn't look good to me, too much like a gadget/toy, while the stainless steel version actually looks like a nice watch, especially with a Milanese, link or leather
I'm oding on these bands brehs. I got a link, brown leather, white sport and a black sport.
This sh*t is way too gimmicky and overpriced for what it is. Typical for an Apple product...
Maybe overpriced..but gimmicky? Nah (Apple products, not the watch)

Just copped mine. I have the apple watch edition, 42nm with the leather strap. I upgraded from my Pebble Steel that i actually like alot, but unfortunately has alot of bugs.
The apple watch arrived in a sleek package. Truly well done boxing in my opinion. Plus the souvenier box is awesome.
First off this thing is simply beautiful. Very awesome looking device. It feels very smooth and sleek and feels great on the skin. Leather strap is also an cooling looking metal link coated in leather contraption that actually secures itself onto your wrist via magnetized clasps. Very elegant and easy to remove.
Secondly, The tech within the watch is nice. The wrist movement to wake motion works surprisingly well. The sapphire crystal display is very strong and also feels great when touched. Display is very beautiful. Huge upgrade from the Pebble here.
Apps are cool but accessing them is admittedly wonky. However functionality blows away the pebble offerings. The Etrade, weather, and fitness apps alone are worth the price of entry.
Battery life is suprisingly good. i get about 24 hours of continuous use here. I charge it when im sleeping. The pebble wins in the batter life department big time as it can go for 5 days.
Overall its a pretty cool device. i'm glad i bought one. As far as smartwatches go, i think its the best. However, with a total price of $750 (499 watch, extra band ($149), applecare, etc) its kinda steep. But because its apple, we all know it will hold its value well.
Highly recommended.

You bought a gold Apple Watch?
no way! Just the Apple watch mid tier. cost $700 for everything
Breh am i trippin or my apple watch wont notify when i get a text
Just got the thing and am annoyed that im missing texts on my watch that are notified on my phone
I got the Space Grey with the black sports band today 
It took me 3 hours to realize I wasn't getting any notifications because I had it on "Do Not Disturb" mode

Saw one of these at a local store and decided to buy it just to play around with it. I doubt I'll be keeping this. I took it to the gym for an hour and a half workout and the battery went from 86% down to 47%. Now it's sitting on the charger and it also lessened my iPhone 6 battery life which is on the charger too.
It's a cute toy but this can't replace my fitbit where I only charge it every 4 or so days. I doubt after that workout it would have made it the rest of the day.

I've had this thing a week and a half or so. At first I thought it was cool but I'm already bored with it. It doesn't really do anything on its own and it's tethered to the phone and it runs my phone's battery down. I think I'm gonna end up selling it to recoup whatever I can for it. As they days go on I find myself using it less and less. I was gonna try and make it to the watch os 2 update but I could just have the extra money now instead.
