I tried it on yesterday and I was immediately surprised by how 'small' it was - it was thin, and the loops were so small it felt more like a material.
I did think it was feminine yes (that is different, just to be clear, from 'designed for women' or 'only women should wear it').
Lots of male's wear pink too. It doesn't matter anymore. It shouldn't have mattered to begin with. If you like it get it. If you like pink horses then enjoy it.
I ordered the 38mm SS classic buckle and the milanese band for a more professional look.

I tried it on in the store and thought it looked feminine. However, I think that if you're a sharp dresser, a guy can pull it off.
Personally, I accidentally ordered the wrong size leather loop so I'm going to have to stick with the other watch I ordered for a bit... which is the Milanese band. #firstworldproblems

The pictures I've seen that people have posted from within the Apple Store actually make the band look less feminine to me than the press shots.
I ordered it just because the link was too pricey and it looked comfortable. The modern buckle looks feminine to me.
All the guys I know who are interested in an watch love the look of the Milanese.
I tried it on and didn't think it looked feminine. The deal breaker for me (other than the price) was that it was just a bit too shiny for my liking, much like the standard link bracelet.
On my hair pulling comment, yes there was another thread about it. Guys with longer hair said it wasn't an issue.. I have shorter hairs on my wrist as a few others did, and we all had the same issue of pulling hairs as we tightened it. I would try it on if I were you. It was actually a bit painful.
I ordered the 42 ss with the Milanese. I wanted to see it in person. When I tried it on at the apple store, my voice immediate rose two octaves and I cancelled my order.
The Milanese Loop is definitely a unisex band, but when I tried it on and I thought it looked feminine.
My wife did not like it on me and said it was too feminine for me. The Apple Sales Assistant agreed but did say it was a very popular band choice.
After my try on process the Milanese Loop band became my least favourite band.

My wife had the same response today that it looked feminine. I personally don't give a crap and have been told numerous times that I have no sense of fashion. I will be ordering one to go with my black leather classic buckle. I liked the adjustability of the Milanese loop.
My wife liked it but said it was definitely feminine. Preferred the loop and sport bands for me.
Yes. Feminine. Wife said the same during the try on appt. I was never considering it, but tried it on to experience the magnetic clasp.
It has nothing to do with being secure in your sexuality. Does being a secure straight guy make a sun dress not feminine? It is either feminine or it is not.
I have always felt the milanese band looks feminine. But who cares; buy whatever YOU like.
They arent feminine. You think they are feminine. That is an opinion at best.

Compared to what? The Milanese bracelet is certainly more feminine than the link bracelet.

In all due respect, the Apple watch is not as bulky as the ones u posted , and the mess on the Apple watch is much finer. Compared to those pics, the Apple watch loop looks feminine . In my opinion. Milanese loops are also made for females.
