Hadn't seen these posted. Thought somebody in here might appreciate this. The silver and gold cases from Hoco.
This is my michele strap from Nordstrom that I'm using with an adapter I got from Amazon. I'm in love with it!
Thanks for the pics. I was thinking of ordering the Hoco case in Rose Gold. Have you been wearing them for a while? If so please let me know if you've had any problems with them popping off & if they scratch the watch case.Hadn't seen these posted. Thought somebody in here might appreciate this.

Silver one just came yesterday. I wore the gold one once. Probably going to wear it again today, with my navy sport band. My watch is charging.
Haven't had it pop off at all. Wondering how that would even happen, because it seems it would take intentional force, applied upward, against the sleeve-facing side of the watch, in order to remove the cover.
As for scratches, none to be seen, but I have the Space Black. If there was a watch to not get scratched, it would be that one.
I got my AWS 38mm Silver for Christmas from my dad, and i've been in love with it ever since! It originally came with the Blue Sports band, so after having it on for a day, i just had to get a couple more straps for it
So far, i've bought all my bands from a company in the UK called CEX (Computer Exchange), they're a second hand store that sells games, consoles, DVDs and now Wearable tech for amazing prices, i bought the Milanese Loop on Boxing day, as it was the one i really wanted in the first place, it was £40 so i saved around £89 on it! (It also was in it's box and pretty much never used too ;o )
I received my most recent bands on Thursday this week, which was the Black Sports band with Space black Pin, and the Link Bracelet.
The BSB was £12 for a Grade A product and the Link Bracelet was £100 for a Grade C product (it has a few scratches on the clasp, but it's in pretty great condition though!) I'll most likely be buying a couple more Sports bands from them at some point though.
And that's why i love the Apple Watch so much, it gives you so many options and you can also put together whatever combo you want, especially with the Sports bands, so i'll be definitely looking out for the Lavender band and PRODUCT Red band next!

Those are some great deals! I wish we had something like CEX in the US.

Ok, here's a little proposal . . . It's "Show Off Your Collection" time!
I had to get a larger case since I've accumulated so many bands ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leatherette-Watch-Strap-Zipper-Case-Folio-Folder-/281813243808 ). I like it a lot, especially since it has elastic top-middle-bottom. It keeps the heavy straps from drooping in the middle & falling out. I'm courteous how much stretching it can take since it is a tight fit.
And yes, I am a metal-girl. I seem to have stuck close to those tones so that I can wear them with anything. The leather & silicone bands are on an insert I made to fit the new case.
So have at it . . . Let's see those bands!
Nice collection!! Here's mine so far. I still want a black and rose gold Milanese loop, a white, green, and red sports band, and maybe another leather band or two

Somebody posted this in another topic. Apparently, CEX does have an interface for U.S. residents:

By the way, that's a hell of a collection. I think I just saw you on the other forum (I recommended that Rose Gold Milanese
)
Very nice! I love the red leather loop, but stopped myself from ordering because I know I wouldn't wear it. I don't wear much jewelry & as you probably noticed I'm kind of conservative in coloring . . . I'm more into "blending".
I haven't seen the clear glittery band before, top row left. Where did you get it from?

Awesome, thanks! For $25 it's probably worth it to get the OEM sport band over the ebay version.
The clear glittery band is from casemate. Here's my review/some photos: https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/3xv4h5/casemate_ladies_bands_on_rose_gold_aws/cy81d08 The biggest negative is that the adapter hardware is visible through the band. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea but it's grown on me. It looks fantastic in low-light (i.e. date night) settings.
Agreed. I got a few Moko sport bands, and they've been attracting dust. My official Apple sports band doesn't do that. Probably going to pay full price for a few of the ones that do that the most (white, navy).
Just found this in another thread, and couldn't resist. But who can resist a bag?

They have these in multiple sizes; mini, small, medium, iPad size, and large. For an extra $10 you can customize the color. I went with bright pink and a light pink lining and piping.

I think there is indeed at least one thread around here somewhere for messenger bags/backpacks/iPad/Mac notebook carrying bags....... That looks like a nice bag, though -- guess I'll have to check it out! I've recently just bought an Osprey Pixel Port backpack for transporting both my MBP and my iPad at the same time (instead of as in the past, each separately) and a few other things can all be tossed in there, too.....the Apple watch, though, will always be on my wrist during any travels, either around town or out of town! I did go ahead and buy Apple's Watch Dock for my watch, and I'm really loving it -- seems much more stable than the stand that I'd been using previously.
I was on Ebay last night and saw some new band designs. Lots of geometric patterns.
"Ultracase_us" is printing designs on what it says is genuine leather straps. Reminds me of Casetify who prints on rubber or similar straps. Ultracase is charging $39.99 each. Not sure how I feel about printed bands. Seems a bit limiting. But if you can coordinate or accent your outfit with them I can see a nice look. Still limiting though if they look busy and clash. Wonder how quality the leather is and how permanent the printing is. Anyone order one of these yet?
Also search by "head case". Saw some sellers listed in the US and some in the UK. These look printed and says it's on synthetic leather straps. Under $15.
To be honest, there are so many leather straps around in so many colors and patterns, advertising one as "for Apple watch" is hardly fair. I want the leather loop. I don't want the same leather band I could get for any other watch.
I am the weird one in this thread -- I still have not bought or worn any bands with my Apple watch other than the one with which it came! I just love it so much that somehow I just can't seem to get around to trying something else. (Black stainless steel with black stainless steel band.) The orange sport band tempts me, as does the green sport band.....plus a bunch of others but I just have not gone forward with anything yet.
$39.99 seems a lot for those.
May have to make an exception though...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Case-...Apple-Watch-Strap-Band-38-42-mm-/262047025462
I like that purple and yellow pattern although it appears to be sold out! Might be hard to coordinate with an outfit, though.
I'm impressed! I started buying new bands as soon as I decided I was keeping the watch and still want more! But then again I'm also the girl with 50+ purses and pairs of shoes. I love accessories
Ha-ha, not so weird. I have bought a few bands but I still keep going back to the one it came with (38 SS with black sport band). It's just so comfortable and goes with anything, dresses up or down. Love it.
This is so not really me but I went wild LOL and picked up this Head Case Night Shift band. I think this is the first patterned band I've bought. Hoping it will look good with any black, gray and olive casual wear. I love the look of it shown with one of the SG or SB watch faces but I have SS so we'll see. Not expecting much quality from a synthetic leather band but just expect to wear on occasion. Several sources listed and found it sold out of FL so was able to buy from US. I'll post a photo when it arrives.

$32.99
Very light pink. The modern buckle snaps together just like the real thing. I did have to put it on the last hole though, so it's meant for small wrists.
At some point I will probably try to swap out th elugs for grey ones, otherwise, it's really nice.

It looks good! How's the quality of the leather? I have a third-party modern buckle and the leather is a bit papery/thin.
This is also thin. However, it is a single piece of real leather, rather than some of the bands I've seen which are thicker because they are combinations of leather and man-made material either stitched or glued together.
Two days wear, I'm happy so far. It is going in my top 5.
