Why are you wasting time with all those crappy bands with huge gaps and ugly thick clasps?

get this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141747908614?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I got it and it's pretty great. Almost as nice as the Apple for a fraction of the price.


Looks pretty sharp! Anyone knows if there's a US seller for this one?

The clone I got on eBay for ~$60 is really, really nice. I am very happy with it.

Here's a pretty close clone of the hoco 3 bead by Moko and it doesn't appear to have the gap - http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Stainles...ywords=apple+watch+band++moko+stainless+steel - I wish it came in 38 MM. It was also priced at 26 bucks. I have a couple of the Moko sports clones and they are awesome.

Just received a MoKo Stainless band from Amazon today. It looks nice, but feels light and isn't as easy to work the clasp as I'd like. It wasn't too difficult to change the size, but the way it holds together with pins doesn't give me a lot of confidence that it won't pop off unexpectedly. I'm wearing it for now, might go back. Probably go to the Apple store and compare it to the real one first.

I ordered this same one in black, supposed to get it on Oct 1st. Does it have crazy gaps like some other versions ? Any pics you can show ? Thanks in advance.

I also got the Moko version and the gaps are similar to Apple's official link bracelet. I've had no issues after wearing it all throughout the week. A few pics are below...

Man that's really nice, great pics, thanks. I have high hopes for the black one I've ordered. Thanks again. Moko makes really nice replica bands, I have their black sport band, very nice.

Vincenz, the Moko one we are talking about on Amazon looks exactly like the one you posted on the UK Ebay.

My only other complaint about it, now that I've worn it for a week, is that it doesn't bend much at the lugs which makes it stick out from my wrist. I'm not sure if the real one does the same thing, but something to consider if your wrist is medium to small -- mine is 165mm.

I believe the size of the gaps also depends on the size of your wrist. My gaps, with only 3 removable links in each side, appear larger then in the pictures Red posted.
