Q: Difference between "Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin" and "Black Sport Band"

If you look at the Apple Store site at the Sport Strap, there seems to be 2 black version - one is titled "Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin" and one just "Black Sport Band".


Since in the picture they use a Space Grey Watch for one and Silver Watch for the other, it's hard to tell the difference between these two straps. Any ideas?

    The difference is exactly as detailed. The Black Sport Band is for the stainless steel watch or the sport watch. The band with the space grey pin is exactly the same, other than the pin that attaches to the watch which is the darker grey colour. This is for the higher end watches which have the space grey stainless steel cases, and not the silver colour ones.

     

    It's just to ensure there is colour harmony depending on the original watch you bought.

    The difference is very subtle yet noticeable. The Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin is geared more towards using it with the Stainles Steel Apple Watch since the little pin that's visible from the bottom of your wrist is stainless steel and matches the case, whereas the Black Sports Band w/o Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin matches  more to the metal that's used on the Apple Watch Sport. Hope this helps!

    Which Black Sport Band is geared toward the Black Stainless Steel Case Apple Watch?  I presume it is the one with the Space Gray Stainless Steel Pin.

    There used to be a black sport band with a space BLACK pin for the Apple Watch. It apparently does not exist any more. The current space GRAY Pin black band has a pin that is almost as black, but not quite. It is quite acceptable for either the Space Gray Sport Watch or the Space Black Watch. Same part number, by the way; which adds even more confusion.

     

    The other black sport band has a SILVER pin, and is made to match the silver cased Apple watch (and might look better with the regular aluminum Sport Watch).

     

    If you really care what the pin looks like. It really isn't easy to see anyway, and I doubt anyone would even notice.
