Ladies Only Thread... Accessories and more

[brianbunge]

Thanks for having me! My wife is my best friend and we do everything together. I actually enjoy shopping with her! I've showed her tons of links you've posted so far. She wants everything! I've created a monster! So far she wants the Milanese loop and a red sport band. I showed her the ultra case website and she love the flower prints, the Mickey and Minnie bands, and anything that looks like it could be on a swatch watch (we are in our 40's). For me I'm really only interested in a leather band, a 1:1 3rd or 4th gen link bracelet and some sport bands. We will probably both need adapters as well. Preferably the satin silver and space gray on the sport watches.

Thanks again!

My advise if you want it - just get the Milanese Loop from Apple.

If your wife actually likes Apple's red Sport Band, get that from them as well - this is more of a colour choice.

Anything else, try your luck with clones, 3rd party etc. If you spend days and weeks on these forums, you'd find some are great, some are crap. If you're prepared to live with slight colour or texture mismatch, there's a great number of varieties on offer. Some of the metal bands including the Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop, you'd really need to be lucky and not end up being disillusioned by the poor quality you might end up with.

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind my posting in your thread. I picked up a 42mm space gray sport today and my wife should be getting a 38mm silver sport on Monday. She's really interested in the Milanese loop but was hoping you could recommend a good quality 3rd party version. Also, I'm looking for a 3rd/4th gen black or space gray link bracelet for myself.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I ordered both the JETech and MoKo versions of the Milanese loop. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between those two so I returned the JETech as it cost twoce as much as the MoKo. They are not as good as the Apple versio. but are good for the price - less than $30 for the MoKo on Amazon.

So I just got this for my fiancé. Maybe the seller made a mistake but it was a great deal for me to pass up on. A bit risky since there wasn't much detail in the description as far as size but I figure if I didn't go for it someone else would of. It wasn't packaged very well however just stuffed into a bubble wrap envelop. Arrived with corners a bit dented but nothing too major. The size turned out to be medium which fit perfectly. The box was sealed surprisingly and brand new genuine Apple band.

Really upset with the rose gold hoco link bracelet. The removal tool they sent for resizing was so cheap that it bent on my first attempt to push out the link pin for resizing. It's at least 2 links too big and the links can't be removed with the broken shoddy tool I received. Hoping I can return it since it was from a 3rd party on Amazon, but if not I don't think I'll be buying third party bands going forward. Very disappointed.

I finally got to cut out a hole to wear my new band properly. I love it! Since the Hermes Cuff band was announced I really wanted a band similar so a big thanks to @Jvjlite as I wouldn't have found this band without you!

So, I have been following since I got my Apple Watch on May 13 but never signed up. I have a band issue and have tons.

To previous poster about hoco rose gold band, I had the same issue. Pins are really tight. I took it to a jeweler and paid $10 to have them size it and they had trouble with actual tools but it was so worth it. I love that band and wear it as my main work band for the last couple of months. Even got a comment about it being a nice watch from someone who had no idea what an Apple Watch was!

I also got the silver band someone posted on here from Ali express. Kinda the link idea but prettier. Love that too. Can post pictures if anyone wants.

Today I just got my double your from Lucrin and I'm loving it so far. I am going to try and add pictures to this post. (Sorry if I mess up)

I had trouble with mine as well. Some of the pins were very tight and I ended up breaking the tool. My husband rigged up a new tool with some pliers and half a paper clip.

Alternatively taking it to a jeweler would also work

That's gorgeous! I love that raspberry color!

Evening Ladies, I'm looking at getting another band for my girl, she has a 38 rose gold sport. Was wondering if any of you'a have the 38 RGS with a navy band? I think it would look nice but need another view. Thanks for the help.

Hi Ladies!
Does anyone know if the Hermés double tour band is too large for a 147mm wrist?

 

[Clix Pix]

According to the chart on this page, the Hermes Double Tour fits wrists 140 - 160mm

I ordered a bumper on eBay and it arrived today. It works perfectly for what I want. It was only 99 cents. I just wanted a little something to protect from possible scuffs

Yep! I bought the lime green band last week. Makes me smile just seeing it! Fun color!

 

[Clix Pix]

AmazingGrace, thank you for this image! First of all because it's delightful -- LOVE the green band and the green apple! Secondly because in looking at it I suddenly realized that I had never gotten around to using my own photos on my watch. When I first got the watch back in July, using our own images wasn't an option yet, and when we finally got Watch OS2, although I updated my watch right away at the time, I was also busy and distracted by other things and didn't think about photos. I had not bothered even putting any photos on my watch earlier. So I started the process.....and realized that, oops, apparently I'd never synced my photos on to the new iPhone 6s Plus when I synced everything else on the day I brought it home. Ehhh.... (I don't use iPhotos or Apple's Photos; I have a special folder set up on the desktop which I sync to the iPads and the iPhone.) Took care of that pronto and now I'm having the best time flicking my wrist so that I can admire the various beautiful new watch faces my own photos are making! This really does make the Apple watch a genuinely personal item......

This is quite beautiful!

Also. Hey everyone! Sorry I've been behind on posts. Truth be told I'm not doing very good at the moment but I'm still checking your posts every time I can. Just wanted to give you all the heads up that I'm still around.
Once I'm back on my feet in no time I'll be able to post more.

 

[Mac2me]

I was just thinking about you last night Jmona. Hang in there and look forward to seeing you back posting when you are feeling up to it.

Sorry to hear you're not doing well. Take care and feel better soon.
