Looks great how is your band holding up?



Ok....so after having my Healing Shield sitting on the sofa for the last month+, I finally went ahead and installed. It is a clear background, after all. I had to peel it before I could see all that. I really like the way it looks. Keep in mind there are two per package, so the price isn't bad. I think it looks really good. Definitely looks sweet on my SGS, and matches my Bohemian leather loop.


Here's my original thread with the order info.

And photos:

Any updates on the product yet?

Yes of course. I meant creator ... It was early and we have three small kids! .

I do my training in the morning before work so would have that tracked but during the day would be a bust. I did back the project but I don't think they will reach the 25K they are seeking. It's only 100$ so not an earth shaking "investment". We'll see how it ends up. :)

I've seen this one during the weekend. I like it a lot. Will be very pleased to see your pics.
These watch bands are really addictive, LOL. I never owned a Swatch in the 80s, so I guess this is my turn to load up on watchbands. :)

I am really digging the double tour Hermes watchband, although buying the actual watch is a bit out of my price range. So I ordered one of these with white stitching for my 38mm. It looks like a nice quality handmade leather band, so I am hoping it turns out well! I will post pics when I get it

Hello Ladies,
I'm very new to this forum and to the AW community. I didn't think I would ever get one... But when I saw the new sport versions... I couldn't think about anything but the gold version.
I'm now digging all over the web to find some bands! I've noticed Lucrin is offering a new double tour band Which look fantastic but I can't choose a color... For now I've ordered some adapters and a blue navy band. I'm waiting for new adapters in the gold sport color, pretty sure they will be available sooner or later

Here is the picture of my precious:

Hello again.
I'm thinking about getting monowear leather band for my sport gold apple watch. Has someone already tested them ?
I've made a very quick mockup using, what do you think ? I may prefer the cream color, easier to wear and match with clothes / nail color

I absolutely love both bands! If I could choose I wouldn't just go for both. Trust me red goes with everything. Specially on a woman, it creates contrast specially when you're wearing a different neutral color, much like someone wearing all black and a pair of red high heels. Same principle. :)

One pic won't fit all in unless everything is super tiny, and Jmona's collection is forever growing!
You guys give me too much credit!
I in fact have a few things but mostly the stuff I've already reviewed I had already given away. I'm always paying it forward to others that may need it and still I promised other members of this thread to help if I could but man my list of friends to pay it forward is never ending so if anything that's the collection I could show y'all!
Still. I will try to post photos of it all once I believe my collection has come to a good size. Nothing like my Caseaholic Interview for iphone cases but I may get there at some point.
However I can guarantee you there's others that may have a bigger collection than me.

Thanks for the feedback ! I planned to have more and more and thought the red color would be nice with a double tour band from lucrin !

Thanks a lot

When I check out the Moko poly bands on Amazon, it definitely says the 38 will not fit the 42 2015. My other 38 poly bands fit on my 42 perfectly. Anybody had a problem here?

The location of the springy bit that locks the adapters in are the same for both the 38mm and 42mm bands, so provided you don't care about gaps at the ends of the Watch, all 38mm adapters will go in the 42mm. But why would you want to?

Got my purple Moko sport yesterday. It is beautiful. But after wearing the loop for the last few weeks, the sport band is just not as comfortable. I think I'll go back to my Boho loop for everyday, and save the colors for something specific.

Here's my purple Moko band. It arrived a couple of days ago but I had my infusion so I haven't had time to post an update. I actually love the feel of it. Compared to the Apple Sports band you can tell is considerably lower quality however, it's just as soft and as comfortable if not more comfortable than the Sports Apple band.
One of my friends who ordered some has a business where they make awareness bands and I ran it up to her to see if the quality was good enough to engrave them and it appears to be they are good enough. If I get an engraved one I'll give you an update later. Anyhow here's my photos.
Not too bad for about $17.00.
Oh I should mention that in the direct sunlight it looks more blue'ish than purple and it looks purple on the shade. Or at least it does to me and I didn't notice until my husband actually asked me the other day when I got that "blue" band. He was confused because he had thought he'd seen me leave the house to my doctors office wearing a purple band so he asked when did I change my band. Now I just need the Lavender Sports Band to make him even more confused.

I need some opinions pretty please :) I've created a watch band on Casetify that I really like myself as it relates to a game I love (probably gives it away :p). I was just wondering what people's opinions are on the design to people that wouldn't get the relation as don't want people think "ew that's ugly"

I don't know the game, so it just looks weird to me.

You might want to first read up on some of the reviews of Casetify bands that people here ordered and received before placing an order. Make sure for the money it's going to be the quality you'd want to wear. Even if it's like $30 that's $30 you could put towards something else unless you don't care. Do a search for Casetify because I'm not sure what thread I saw a number of reviews posted.

OK, I did remember a thread someone set up on it (and sure there are other posts in other threads) but here's the dedicated thread I recalled. They were hotly advertised all over before they were shipping and I'm not sure anyone here that I can recall has ordered from them since early summer. Maybe that's telling in and of itself?

Yeah that would make sense :) i guess weird doesn't necessarily mean bad I would hope ^^

Thank you for the warning :) I have seen a few reviews and images. I really wanted a custom band and unfortunately haven't found anywhere else that does them so I will just have to take a chance if I decide to get it. If I do I will most likely post pictures to help others if they are still undecided to whether it's worth it or not :)
