The black Apple Watch Sport band was the most popular selection among customers who pre-ordered the Apple Watch, according to Slice Intelligence.

The Black Sport Band was by far the most popular among both Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport buyers, with 49 percent overall pre-ordering one, followed by the White Sport Band at 16 percent and the more expensive Milanese Loop ($149 versus $49 for the black Sport band) rounding out the top three at around 10 percent.

Slice Intelligence gets its data by extracting detailed information from hundreds of millions of aggregated and anonymized e-receipts. They calculated that about 1 million customers pre-ordered the Apple Watch on the first day of sales in the U.S.

I made an appointment to try the watch prior to purchase it , I'm glad I did , very insignificant watch for the price... I'm an apple fan but I'm not impress with this one..

Am I the only one that liked the Milanese Loop but once I looked at it in person it seems too thin for the price? i wouldn't mind the link but they want too much for what it is. Just my opinion though.

I think those who got the watch sport are going to regret it. It's so easy to bang your watch here and there in daily use. I got the stainless because I have scratched cheaper watches in the past yet my saphire screened mechanical watches still look perfect.

Of course. Baseband, Sport, Black. Other bands after careful checking on wrist.. : ) what were the others thinking !??

Of course steel. Aluminum, not really.. Wanted the sapphire scratch proofing !

I wanted Milanese Loop band too. But I aint spending $750 on beta-testing watch -.- Luckily, I was able to order Black Sports within a second through Apple Store app and got the estimated shipping for 4/24th~whatever :D Hopefully its worth the money. Or if not, I can easily resell it on ebey to those soft touch buyers ;)
