    http://www.apple.com/watch/buy/ currently shows a very nice looking Sport’s Watch with the gold watch face. I like it. Not for a men, but for a women very nice looking, especially for 350$.

    Great, but that’s going to make my black on black watch face a little difficult to see in bright sunlight.

    Can’t wait for watchOS 2. In a sea of crazy anti-Apple negativity everywhere it seems, I’m still totally loving my Watch and I can easily see myself finding it as worthy a product as iPhone in the near future.

    Apple should’ve made these bands “smart” with an option for “automatically match band color”.
