hey guys, it has probably been talked about before. I am past the 14 day return period...is there any chance Apple will swap my Sport for the Stainless watch? It just looks nicer and has so many more band options.
Got a tip for us?

I just checked and I have just exceeded my 30 days, so I can't
oh well! I'm still a little undecided whether it's worth the extra $300 and so dollars. Maybe I will hang out for a stainless for Gen 2 thanks!

Bummer

That sucks. Maybe see what the second hand market is like and hopefully won't be too much of a loss if you really wanted the SS.
I sold my SGS at cost on Craigslist. It even had a tiny mark on the side. Nice guy who was going on vacation for his anniversary bought it. His order was still a couple weeks out. You'll find someone, but you may have to turn down some weird barter requests! Good luck!
Will give it a shot and see what I come up with! Thanks guys. It really does have a much classier look to it. Originally I thought, "its first gen". But after a while, I have realised I will have it for quiet a while, so I am as well go for the nicer one.
Yeah just list it for like 100 over retail and someone will buy it to save waiting and that way you only have a further 100 to spend on the SS
Definitely give it a try... I was in the exact same position, I already had a SG Sport but after having my try-on appointment I felt that the SS was worth the upgrade.... Sold my Sport on Kijiji (Canadian rival to Craigslist) last week for $150 profit, my SS with Milanese is arriving either Thursday/Friday this week (depending on UPS, have had a few delays already).
This is why I went with the SS at the last minute. I was going to go with the sport due to the whole "first gen" thing. Then decided that I'd have to wear it for at least a year, and wanted it to look good during that time, so went with SS.
I've had both and I feel the SS is by far the more versatile and stylish offering, I plan to wear it for a while to wanted to be happy with my choice. I originally picked the SS based on looks but baulked at the price and purchased the Sport.
In the end I went with my first choice and the one i really wanted, SS 42mm with leather loop.

The grass is always greener....here I am after having bought a couple more new sport bands thinking I probably would have enjoyed the Sport and could have saved myself a couple hundred dollars. Oh well I'm sure I'll feel differently when the modern buckle bands finally go on sale.
Just to clarify a few things, you have 14 calendar days from receipt of delivery to file for a return, and another 14 days to ship it to Apple to get the credit.
You are outside the window, but selling on Craigslist or eBay is an option.
I also started with a Space Grey and realized after a week with it that I really wanted the nicer SS. I made this decision last weekend, with a couple days left in my return window, so I put in a return request. I happened to preorder a SS on May 3, anticipating that I might want to upgrade (I knew I could always cancel the order if I didn't). The SS arrives tomorrow and that's when I'll put my SG back in the box and ship it to Apple.
I considered selling my SG on eBay for a profit, but the selling prices are quickly dropping given that Apple is catching up with orders and the impatient people have already mostly figured out how to get a watch. There is still a profit to be made but minus shipping and eBay selling fees, it was not enough for me to bother. I don't like selling on Craigslist so I decided to just return it to Apple.
