Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/mix-match-bands-hero-caldwell-apple-watch.jpg?itok=Uiz8eaGj' />[/url]</p> <p class="intro">Yes, I made an R2D2-colored band for my Apple Watch Sport. Find a friend with a different-colored Sport, and you can too.</p> <p>You know what they say about the best-laid plans. I expected to be on vacation in southern California visiting my parents over the last week of April, but Apple had other ideas: The company announced it would be shipping the Apple Watch starting April 24 — which just so happened to be the first day of my vacation.</p> <p>So instead of relaxing that Friday, I spent the evening with my father anxiously awaiting the arrival of two elongated brown boxes; we'd both ordered Apple Watch Sport models, his blue and mine white.</p> <p>Once the prized devices arrived and we began unboxing them, however, I had a brilliant, terrible thought: The Sport comes with three band pieces (connector, S/M band, and M/L band), and we'd only likely ever use two of them.</p> <p>Which is largely how I ended up with a white and blue R2D2-colored Sport band.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-pose-apple-watch-two-tone-hero.jpg?itok=hoKrV4Dx' />[/url]</p> <p>Though there are websites that promote band-swapping, my idea was far more banal: find friend (or, in this case, relative) with extra half-band they don't want, and borrow a half-piece to build a two-tone Apple Watch Sport band.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-blue-white-sport-front.JPG?itok=CBbW7NMJ' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-blue-white-sport-reverse.JPG?itok=V1Sqe6Zm' />[/url]</p> <p>That first day, I kindly borrowed my dad's S/M blue band and quickly built a two-tone marvel. The double-color elastomer band may not work for every outfit or situation, but it's been a fun additional way to spice up my band options without breaking the bank or adding a few white-board marker designs to my fluoroelastomer.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-blue-white-full-out.JPG?itok=hI7JdUwY' />[/url]</p> <p>This week, I was lucky enough to borrow another band — the black model — to try out a white-and-black combo.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-black-white-front.JPG?itok=TKeRqyph' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-black-white-reverse.JPG?itok=Mlf8Cv_y' />[/url]</p> <p>It looks pretty great, and definitely makes me consider picking up an extra black Sport band for casual mix-and-match. I also put blue and black together, because why not.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-black-blue-sport-bands.JPG?itok=-dj8ldL4' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-black-blue-front.JPG?itok=Sm3pwUUn' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/heres-what-multicolor-apple-watch-sport-bands-look' title="Here's what two-tone Apple Watch Sport Bands look like "><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-black-blue-reverse.JPG?itok=L1d28ybA' />[/url]</p> <p>If you have a buddy that's willing to do (or you want to rely on the internet for) a two-tone swap, all you need is one of their spare sized bands to execute this look. You can also always order a spare Sport band if you have no chums nearby, though ship times are a nebulous 2-4 weeks at present.</p> <p>Personally, I like my two-tone look for certain outfits and occasions, but I know not everyone feels as friendly to the design. Whether you love or hate band combinations, I'd love to hear about it in the comments. (Also, have a pink or green two-tone picture? Those are the two bands I've been unable to track down and I'd love to see combos.)</p> <div class="devicebox"> <h3>Apple Watch</h3> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oSWq43X9S_M?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-oswq43x9sm" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <ul><li>[Apple Watch review](/apple-watch-review]</li> <li>Apple Watch help</li> <li>Apple Watch apps</li> <li>Apple Watch buyers guide</li> <li>Apple Watch news</li> <li>Apple Watch discussion</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ .devicebox { background-color: #5CB8DB; border: 1px solid #E2E9EB; float: right; display: block; margin: 0 0px 10px 10px; max-width: 350px; overflow: hidden; width: 50%; } .devicebox h3 { background: #8D98BD; font-family: "camptonmedium",sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; } .devicebox h3 a { display: block; line-height: 30px; padding: 0 10px; } .devicebox h3 a:hover { background: #7e88aa; text-decoration: none; } .devicebox .video { margin: auto; } .devicebox p, .entry-content .devicebox p > img, .devicebox img { margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; } div .devicebox *, div .devicebox li, div .devicebox a:active, div .devicebox a:hover, div .devicebox a:link, div .devicebox a:visited { color: #fff; } .devicebox a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } .devicebox p, .devicebox ul li, .devicebox ol li { font-size: 16px; padding: initial; } .devicebox ul { margin: 0; padding: 0.5em 1em 1em 30px; } .devicebox ul li { display: list-item; line-height: 24px; list-style: disc outside none; } .devicebox ul li:before { display: none; } .devicebox p ~ p { padding: 0px 15px 15px; line-height: 1.25; } .devicebox p:first-of-type + p { padding: 15px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox { float: none; margin: 0 auto 30px; max-width: 700px; min-height: 225px; position: relative; width: 100%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video { bottom: 0px; left: 50%; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 30px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video_iframe, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video_iframe { height: 100%; padding: 0px; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p { bottom: 0; left: 50%; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 30px; width: 50% } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p img, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p img { float: right; height: 100%; width: auto; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + .devicebox p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox p { width: 43%; } @media all and (max-width: 500px) { .devicebox { float: none; margin: 0 0 30px; max-width: 100%; width: 100%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video { left: 0; position: relative; top: 0; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox .video_iframe, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox .video_iframe { padding-bottom: 56.25%; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox h3 + p, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox h3 + p { left: 0; position: relative; top: 0; } div *:last-of-type + .devicebox ul, div *:last-of-type + div ~ .devicebox ul { width: auto; } } /*--><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
