Has anyone seen Jen around? I emailed her almost two weeks ago and no response. I hope she is okay :/.

You mean the thread starter? I've been wondering about it too, and MacRumors doesn't seem to indicate when the last time a member logged in even if they didn't post.
 
Hi everyone! I just found this thread this morning and read through the whole thing! I'm new to AW...I got a rose gold AWS at Target --- I managed to get it for $249 (best buy price match) PLUS a $100 target gift card, so I'm feeling pretty good about the purchase. :) I love how unique the rose gold looks and I don't mind that it's not a perfect match with SS hardware or with some color bands --- I wear them anyway!

I loved looking through all of the pictures you guys posted! It's so fun to collect bands and to see what everyone else is wearing. I love changing my bands every day to match my outfit or my mood. I have sixteen so far --- ACK! I've got the two casemate color-edged leather bands coming soon so I'm excited about those! I found the white one with the hot pink edging for only $16 on eBay and the tan with blue edging discounted (used) on amazon for $35. I have the casemate clear glitter strap (another discount at $11) but I'm not super crazy about it --- the clear doesn't look as fancy as I'd hoped --- but hopefully the casemate leather bands are nicer. The product photos are drool-worthy at least.

Anyway, this thread is awesome and I'm glad it exists. For eye candy, here's a picture of my watch today...the band is a third-party modern loop with rose gold hardware. I'm not crazy about the quality and it cost $45 so I wouldn't really recommend it, but it was good/versatile enough that I didn't want to return it.

Love this thread. LOVE IT. That is all.

Hi everyone! I got three casemate bands in today that I thought you all might be interested in. The full album is here (http://imgur.com/a/MxqEh), and I've posted one photo of each below.

1. Casemate Champagne Band (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YSIHTPY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-2&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): Found this for $12 on Amazon. Also seems to be very cheap on eBay. The material is like one of those jelly sandals from the eighties/nineties (remember getting pebbles stuck in the treads?). It seems like a good way to execute a glittery band since the glitter is inside the plastic band and will never fall off. On the downside, the band is not as flexible as a silicone band and the hardware connecting the band to the watch is clearly visible through the material, which sort of messes up the aesthetic. It's sized similarly to the s/m apple sport bands.

2. Casemate edged leather band in white/hot pink (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YSH3EVS/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-13&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): I found this for $16 on eBay. It looks great on the watch. Fits similar to the s/m apple sport band. The leather is pretty thick and stiff; hopefully breaking in will help. The leather sort of puckers around the buckle holes when bent, which could indicate poorer quality/lack of longevity. Hopefully it holds up to wear but time will tell.

3. Casemate edged leather band in tan/blue (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YY4X8HU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-10&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): Got an open-box version from Amazon for $35. Absolutely love the colors on this. Same thickness/puckering issues as the white/pink model. The sizing felt a little awkward on this one...whereas with the white/pink strap I was comfortably on the second to last hole, that hole was WAY too loose in this color and the third-to-last hole was just slightly tight. Hopefully with breaking in this will resolve.

Note for all of these bands: the buckle hardware is super thick, so if you do a lot of typing and think having a hulking buckle under your wrist will be annoying, you'll want to pass on these bands. The connections for all three bands felt solid; no overhang and the bands clicked into place when I slid them on.

Just found this great thread! I bought the 38mm SS with the milanese band and I love it. I would love to have the modern buckle but it is quite expensive. I know some of you bought the modern buckle from 3rd party venders. If you bought one and love it will you please post a link? Also my wrist size is 147mm so I would need a size small.

Need some help here - my mom has a tiny wrist 4.9in! What band can I get her? I love the simplicity of the Milanese and leather loop, but would be willing to get anything that will fit!

Thanks!

Greetings,
My wrist is also tiny - it measures 127 MM. I ordered my 38 MM SS AW with the Milanese loop - unfortunately it had to be kept as tight as it would go and it would get looser as the day went on and lock sometimes. I ended up forking out money for the actual Apple Link Band and even removing the 8 links (max links I could take out) and still had to take it to a jewlery store for them to figure out Apple's link process so they could remove an additional 2 extra links. Now it fits perfectly. The only bands I've found that actually fit out of the box are the Modern Buckle - small on the last hole (I tried this on in the store - I do not own it), and the Sports band small - I have some knock off sports bands by Moko that I got on Amazon and these also fit my tiny wrist if you get the small band. I love the look of the leather cuff but the knock off I ordered was too big :(. I hope this helps

Cheers,
Bobbie
