Bought the [Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Band](http://store.apple.com/sg/product/MJ4Q2/42mm-black-sport-band) together with the [Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2015/07/01/apple-watch-magnetic-charging-cable/) when I was on holidays in the UK.

The 42mm Sport Band is retailing for £39 (S$83) in the UK before tax refund. In Singapore, it is retailing for S$78.

Note there are two different variants to the Black Sport Band, one with space grey stainless steel pin and one with the normal stainless steel pin. The one I chose is the one with the space grey stainless steel pin as shown in the images below.

Most probably, I will be using the Sport Band on a daily basis because it is more rugged. For the Link Bracelet, I will probably change to it for special occasions.

Changing the Apple Watch band is pretty easy, just refer to [the official guide](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204818) first.

Here are the prices for the different Apple Watch bands. The price is the same for both 38mm/42mm Apple Watch.

|---|---|
| Sport Band | S$78 |
| Milanese Loop | S$218 |
| Classic Buckle | S$218 |
| Leather Loop | S$218 |
| Modern Buckle | S$368 |
| Link Bracelet | S$668 |
