Q: Nylon strap with gold clasp?

Can we ever expect some accessories to match the gold aluminum watch? I see that there are nylon straps with a gold metal buckle that comes with the watch but apparently not for stand-alone resale. Is this right? Why? Show some love to those of us with gold aluminum watches please.

    Hi Alex

     

    I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's product plans (this is a user-based community).

     

    Watch case and band combinations that are available together as an initial purchase are not necessarily complimented by separately available bands (ie when purchased as separate accessories).

     

    Presently, Woven Nylon bands have silver coloured buckles, other than the black band, which has a black buckle. The same principle applies to pin colours for Apple Watch Sport Bands.

    If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding additional Woven Nylon bands with differently coloured buckles, you can do so here:

    I agree, as an owner of the gold sports watch, Apple hasn't quite got to grips with the choice that they've created ;-) I took matters into my own hands and bought some 3rd party gold adapters that I use with some straps that I have for other watches,  Whilst not a perfect match, the benefit of a selection of individual straps outweighs the slight mismatch that I really don't notice!
