There is another Hoco band with a different clasp which allows micro adjustments. I posted a picture of it in this thread (post 200) refer link https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/hoco-band.1882670/page-8#post-21389747
Got a tip for us?

That's the first one I've seen with the adjustment on the clasp. I hope you can buy the clasp separately.
I ordered the 3 bead from Amazon...but it's being shipped from China...didn't realize that so it will be a few weeks before I get it.
In the meantime, I stopped by a Dakota Watch Company and got this band for $20...not too shabby, IMO! (I had ordered a set of adapters off of eBay about three weeks ago.)
I did want to ask, though...those of you that have the Hoco...is it a decent weight? The band that you see in the picture is REALLY light, so kinda low quality is what I'm expecting. Thanks in advance!

I can't speak for the 5 bead, but the 3 bead has some heft to it Definitely doesn't feel cheap in weight. I wish I could weigh it but I don't have a scale at work
Awesome to hear. I'm liking this band...but it feels cheap. Looking forward to the Hoco.
Can you please upload a picture of the watch with the band? I'm wondering how it looks with a space gray watch.
Just got my HOCO Brown Leather Band (used with a 38mm Aluminum Watch). Feels premium and I love the texture; very happy!
i got mine the other day too, also with a 38 - no point posting pics now.
i've only worn it for a few hours so far - i've been sticking to my sport band - but i found that it was a bit stiff because its new and would push the watch up away from my wrist unless i kept it set to a notch that was "too tight". how quickly did you find that goes away?
Hi Nicho. I definitely agree with what you are saying, though I actually LIKE that it sticks slightly above my wrist due to the leather's stiffness (makes it a bit more prominent I guess, hahah
).I'm wearing it on the 3rd notch away from the end of the strap. It's loose but not too loose. Tightening it on the 4th notch makes it snug on my wrist but after a while, feels a bit sticky and not as natural as the 3rd notch.
It's given the Aluminum version of the watch a much more premium feel overall; I don't see myself switching back over to the Sport band anytime soon.
Black leather Hoco band arrived half hour before my watch! Feels good quality- certainly smells like leather!!
I received my 5-bead Hoco from an AliExpress seller yesterday, I couldn't be more happy with it.
I already had the official Milanese & White Sport Bands, but so far everyone I have shown the Hoco to likes it the most!
It is a good fit, personally I had to take 1 link out from each side of the band which wasn't a big deal (used a tool from the dollar store).
It definitely feels like good quality considering I paid $40 and it does have a little weight to it... also the adapters are a great match for the Stainless Steel Watch although the main body of the strap has a slightly brushed effect.

Do you have any photo?
I am really confused to get hoco SS band 3 beads or 5 beads.
I haven't taken good pics yet, but I took this little montage for Instagram..

i've got the 38 and had to go for the 3 bead. looking on taobao and jd.com here in china, i've just found that there's now a 5 bead for the 38mm. i want it but i don't think i'm allowed both
Wow, the Hoco leather looks amazing. This company is definitely my top 3rd party manufacturer thus far.
My JetTech leather band will be used for it's adapters. The leather on that thing sucks!

Just got my 3 bead in the mail. 5 minutes later adjusted to my wrist. I like it a lot, looks great. Hasn't pulled a single hair.
To adjust it I just used a thumbtack to push the pin in the direction of the arrow, then took off one link.
Great band at 30 odd bucks!
