Guessing white is original, the middle pin on the watch connector doesn't stick out as much.
Got a tip for us?

Any good knockoff Sports Bands out there?

Yes, it's Moko. I have a few more on the way, these are great bands. At this price I can get all the colors.

Why did you have to post pictures? I was just about to convince myself not to buy this, and now after seeing this pictures I find it moving closer to my cart!
Looks very very nice! Do anyone have pics of the Indigo one?
Correct!
Real apple sport bands are $90NZD, I got the other three coloured ones for $45 total! Bargain if you ask me! Plus I got the leather loop which you can't even get for the 38mm anyway
How do you like the Moko compared to the Strapped & Co? I have the red one from Strapped & Co, but might try Moko next.
I ordered an indigo blue moko from Amazon. I'm hoping it's good enough that I can skip the midnight blue Apple band.
Please report back as I'm interested for the same reason.
They're about equal quality. I wish the red were darker on the Strapped & Co one but it's a decent band.
I have the Indigo and the pictures on Amazon's site very accurately represent the color. I think the Apple one is going to be darker. Hopefully Moko will start making them in that shade of blue too. As a college sport fan, I'd call the Indigo close to Duke or Kentucky blue and the Apple one looks to be a Michigan blue.
While we're at it, I'd love to see a cardinal (deep) red. Like the color of my beloved Trojans!

You and me both! I am a USC alum, and I spent hours searching online for a cranberry, maroon or burgundy band - to no avail. I would kill for one in that color.
I have ordered the Moko in orange, indigo, white, red, purple and Milanese. Orange came and fits great. White arrived today and the magnet doesn't work or attach at all. It does slide in but doesn't lock in place. I am debating returning it but waiting to see how the other four are when they arrive next week.

I received my HappyCell leather loop from Amazon today. It's pretty much the perfect shade of blue and more comfortable to me than my sports band, so I requested a cancellation of my Moko band order. We'll see if that goes through.
I love my LL bands but the sport ones are very comfortable and durable for everyday use. Why not keep both? Especially for that price.

I only need one of each color. I ordered the Moko as a backup in case the leather loop didn't meet my expectations.
I saw it but it wasn't posted on the watch on a wrist and that's what I'd like to look at. Not the band itself.

Gotcha

Thanks for posting. I can't wait for mine to arrive! I like that tone of blue, but I think the perfect color would be somewhere between that and navy blue. Sometimes the standard navy blue is too close to black.
#120 is my wife's purple band. It can look a little blue in certain lighting but it's purple.
Is anyone having a problem with the magnets on the Moko bands attaching? I ordered orange, white, purple, red, indigo and a Milanese style from them. So far I have received orange and white with the rest coming next week. They slide in fine but don't seem to catch so they slide back and forth easily. If you tug on the band it stays in place, and I wore the orange one all day yesterday with no problems, but I would feel better if they caught snugly/magnetically like the Apple OEM band.
Admittedly, I only have received two so far, but both do it. Are mine just from a bad batch? I was going to wait until the red, purple and indigo arrived before deciding whether to return them or not. And maybe I'm just being a worrywart since they don't slide out on their own, they just don't need you to push the button to remove them and slide freely.
I guess I shouldn't worry and they are a lot less expensive than the Apple ones so I shouldn't expect the same quality level (and no way could I afford all those colors on the Apple bands after buying the watch this week too), but I'm just afraid they are not as secure.

I have to slide mine back and forth a few times to get them to settle in. Some pieces are better about it than others.
I haven't had a problem with mine, but I slide them in slowly until they click. Once or twice when I slide them in fast they will go past the stopping point and not click in. I just have to slide it back slowly until it does.
If you really can't get it to connect (click in) then I would reach out to the seller. They are really cool and easy to work with.
