Looks nice except that it seems that the watch is not in direct contact with your wrist (?) it's slightly elevated.
Got a tip for us?

i dont like that band i prefer the 3 bead version much more. What i dont like is how the adapter of the band is trying to extend out and change the look of the watch, maybe its just me but i dont like the 5 bead version

I think it's just a trick of the light caused by the heavy shadow to the right of the watch. Or maybe it's some sort of sorcery.
I think the 5-bead version looks nice, BTW.
Thanks!
Yeah, it's definitely some sorcery combined with some weird lighting and my skinny wrists.
Here's another angle... minus the sorcery

You don't like it, we get it. Do you have to keep posting over and over how much better you like the one you ordered? Some people like the 5 bead, like me for one, others like the 3 bead version. They are both very attractive bands. There is no reason to bash the one you didn't order.
anyone get one of these for the space grey sport?? I'm interested in seeing the combo!!! At the current price, I want to order one soon, but would love to see pics first.
Thanks!

Ok now we can see better
Looks good. I'll wait for people to test the adapter with the 3 bead BTW here's a NEW video of the HOCO hehe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u96vb4rX_fQ
I've found a seller on Ebay that sells the HOCO bands without the adapters @ 10.75$ only! :
EDIT: Pictures are misleading they are showing 3 different models

Then if you combine the adapter from the 5-beads model @ 17.84$ :

Actually cheaper than buying each bands separately..

Hey Nicho,
These are the two I was referring to:
Classic:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOCO-Classi...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5b11906400
Luxury:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hoco-Luxury...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4639b522d6
Those are the two of what I was wondering, but searching on eBay for HOCO Leather Apple Watch Band, there's all these different post of different leather (which could all be a ploy) but I was just wondering if anyone with more experience or knowledge with leather bands would know more about them.

Tried ordering the HOCO 5 bead for my 38mm from two different sellers on Amazon. Both came back and said these are out of stock.
Can't find the 38 anywhere.
Can't find the 38 anywhere.
I figured the price would eventually drop in the states. It was around $48 here, now its $38.
Here's the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/32175938044...49&var=510667042704&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The sale ends in a few hours...for everyone in the states, that wants this band for under $40, better grab it now!
Turns out the 38 mm version was recalled and not available at this time. Not sure when it will reemerge but it will I'm sure at some point.

The mark up on these things must be huge. But I still think this is a great band.
Thanks, this is something to consider. Crazy how the band costs more than the adapter lol. I would want the 3 bead but I don't like that there's Hoco branding on the clasp, so this is a good option. I might just do this.Ok now we can see better

That's the one I ordered, just waiting for it to ship. Glad it has "hoco" on it. In the pic it doesn't.
Just got my HOCO 5-bead link band, and it came with the tool to remove the links (ordered from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XVQ7HGU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00)

Here it is for my 38mm sport. I think it doesn't look too bad. The only size band you can fit in this adapter is a 20mm one. If you order a 42mm than you have up 24mm.

did you put a review on amazon for him? i just ordered mine from that seller thanks
Hoco Apple Watch Band
I bought my SS Hoco band on EBay from a seller in Texas. Delivery was less than a week and after removing 2 links (my wrist measures 178mm) it fits perfect. Not too lose and not to tight. The clasp is double locking and it cinches up the band perfectly. It is entirely brushed silver so it doesn't match my SS Apple watch perfectly but does compliment it very well. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the quality and heaviness of the band as it feels similar in weight to my previous Seiko and really dresses up the Apple watch compared to the leather classic buckle that I originally ordered with it. Regardless, for the price, you can't beat it; and I think that whoever purchases one will be as happy with it as I am.

Crap, i ordered a watch repaid kit separately.. didn't know it came with the tool
Me neither. It was a nice surprise but I already have a kit from when I had my Pebble Steel. Still appreciate the addition though.

Not yet but definitely will.

they look to be the same ones to me. hoco do two more (which i think are better). unfortunately i can't post the pictures right now :/ check out http://www.hococase.com/series/electronic/applewatch/ though. the more textured looking one with the silver buckle is the one i'm going to go for. they also do one thats the same colour inside and out (not tan inside) but i'm not sure thats available yet - i can't find it even here in china.

not sure if it'll match enough for you, but it looks like a space black may be on its way
