Well, you can change the band to other "normal" kinds of bands but I don't think it looks that bad but then I'm not really a girly girl type if you know what I mean. I hear what you're saying about going 50 mi to see it but when you're considering spending that much money on something you're likely to be using for a good long while, I would think it would justify the trip. If you're even questioning that, then maybe it isn't the thing for you. I personally never buy expensive electronic stuff without laying eyes and hands on it, regardless of whether I have to travel to see it (unless I know exactly what I'm getting).
Gee, I've bought tons of expensive things online. The more expensive they are the better the items tend to be. Besides, Amazon and other sites have great return policies. I just sent back something to Amazon yesterday and got a credit the moment their computer system "saw" that I'd taken the item to a UPS drop off point, via the tracking number they assigned to the RMA. It's quite easy for me. For someone who'd have a hardship getting to a drop-off site for returns I can see how that might dissuade one from buying online.
I've bought large woodworking equipment, a 61" TV, Nikons, and have been happy with the prices and the items. I live in a large city, yet nearly every time I want to buy something specific either no one has the item, or it's too expensive. I run into that issue time and time again. Having said that, Best Buy now will match Amazon prices, so if they have it, I'm less than 2 miles from them and I'll buy it there instead of Amazon.
