do you have the link of the person you bought it from? would like to purchase one
Hey, I got it from this seller on eBay. Smooth transaction. Came in two business days. Shipped from Vegas so you should get it quickly too. You may find a less expensive one from Chinese sellers. But to me it wasn't worth the hassle or wait.

On the strength of threads on here, I bought a 3 bead Hoco strap, half expecting it to be of seriously dubious quality.
Got it last weekend and I must say, I couldn't be happier with it. It's chunky, weighty, looks great and feels great. My classic band has been consigned to my bedside cabinet, probably never to resurface.
And as a bonus, it was a tenth of the price of the Apple one, which I don't even like as much anyway.
Happy days.

Yes looks very good, I'm going to install the hoco band on my space gray Apple watch sport I'll posts pics when I get my hoco band should take 2 weeks to get here
My only complaint about the band is that it needs to have a better looking way to connect to the watch, but luckily the bar it connects to is pretty unobtrusive. I imagine in a few months another band with a more integrated connector will come out, and I might upgrade at that point, but these bands are so inexpensive that it's not a big deal.
Yep, same here. I ordered a Hoco band, because it looks great for $30, but if they come out with one with an integrated connector, I'll gladly order that one too if its similarly priced.
Well that bar is how some of apple's own bands connect to the watch like the classic buckle etc.. I don't think the bar looks bad at all
I don't think it looks bad, but it's not a normal thing for a stainless link bracelet to have, and of course Apple's own link bracelet does not use one. Instead it has a connector that kind of flares out to match the shape of the watch, which I like.
Five days so far with the three bead band and I still haven't had a single hair ripped from my arm. Thumbs up!
Same here! Not having worn a metal bracelet before, I was very concerned when people mentioned that wearing certain types could feel like waxing your arm! But it's perfectly fine, even for my hairy arms. It may even be better than Apple's link bracelet in that sense.
Another happy customer of the Hoco band here, love it! 42mm SS
Looks great on you! Do you have any issues with your tats and the heart rate sensor?
I got my 5 bead way earlier than I expected! About a week after I ordered on eBay from China. The silver really brings out the clarity and sharpness of the screen. I love this band!! My purchase came with the regulator to remove the bands also.

Take your pick.... it's the 5 bead version. I paid $46 shipped from this page, included the regulator to remove bands, but I've seen the band itself for less.

Thanks! Well I thought I did.. when I first got it I tested out the heartbeat and it didn't pick it up the very first test I did, so I assumed it wouldn't work and never bothered (wasn't a feature I'd much use anyway). Then about two weeks later I tried it again out of interest and it worked... go figure! Still works now, though I do have problems with wrist detection so I had to turn that off.
Is there any HOCO Band (Dark Grey) to go with this watch
