I found a much more profound, engaging and possibly controversial 
article regarding the shape of the clasp on the red watchband when worn 
with a long cocktail dress with gold piping around the waist.

Assuming I get one it will likely be the 42mm with the cheapest band. 
That's the sport version with the supposedly tougher glass.

But, I might (with some creative home accounting) go for the stainless 
steel case.

I want the 38mm steel one with the Milanese loop, but probably will get
the Sport with the elstopolymer band.  Apparently, the black band comes
only with the space gray watch, and the space gray watch comes only
with the black band.

Are these designed so that it's hard to sub your own style of wrist 
band? Black leather is nice.

Or fine Corinthian Leather in case you go island hopping.

No and yes. No you can't fit a standard watch strap directly to an
Apple Watch ... but there is at least one adaptor that you can slot
into the Apple Watch's connector and then use any standard watch strap
(of appropriate width) using those small spring-loaded pins that often
ping across the room when you try to remove / insert them.  :-)


And for those who think the Apple Watch is too expensive, you can get a
Chinese knock-off look-alike for about US$60.

There are certain combinations of body and band that are sold together;
it remains to be seen how Apple will sell the bands.  However, most of
the bands have individual prices, so it may be possible to buy a band
separately.  But some bands are designed to go with certain bodies.

The Modern Buckle, for instance, is made only for the 38mm body.  The
Leather Loop is made only for the 42mm body.  The Classic Buckle comes
only in black.  The black sports band apparently comes only with the
black or space gray colors, and with the gold body.

The fastener of the bands that come with the gold body is made of the
same gold as the body.  (Only the black and white sports bands come
with the gold body.)  Also inset of the crown is the same color as the
band.  The Rose Gray and Bright Red Modern Buckle come only with the
gold body, and apparently are not available separately.

It APPEARS that the only bands that you cannot buy separately are the
edition bands, and even there, I bet you will be able to buy a second or
third $7000 band with your watch if you want. 

For the non-edition models you can buy any *extra* bands that you want,
but you cannot buy a, for example, space grey steel Apple Watch
($1049/99) and get a rubber band instead of the $500 band it comes with.
So you'd need to spend $1049/99 and then spend another $50 on the band.

Well, actually only the sports model comes in Space Gray; the stainless
steel model comes in black, not Space Gray.  But other than that minor
correction, it appears that you are right.

Further, it appears that the only way to get the black link steel band
is with the black steel watch; it does not appear to be sold
separately, nor with any other watch case.

The Milanese loop is sensual beauty and perfect adjustment.  Somehow too 
feminine - but when I'm wearing cocktail dress ... maybe.

Now that would be a sight to behold. You in a long cocktail dress with 
gold piping.
Better than your diving pix I guess. ;-)

Anything would be better than my diving pix.  And frankly I have no 
issues with wearing a long cocktail dress.  Hides my hairy legs.
