did a search and nothing came up. i did not read this entire thread, so i'm not sure if this has already been shared, but wanted to leave this here for you guys. rob montana makes custom watch straps. he has a cult following among Panerai enthusiasts. i have no affiliation with him besides the fact that i am commissioning him to make a Tumi designed watched strap for my wife. this is going to be somewhat costly as i have to source a donor bag, but he now offers both louis vuitton and gucci straps off his shelf. just thought some of you may be interested.

A few of my looks from this Week!!

Look 1: A Baseus band I purchased off eBay! I like the quality, it feels nice on my wrist; not to mention the gold adapters and buckle look rather nice on my 42mm Gold AW Sport!

Look 2: is A Hermes Double Tour Replica, also purchased off eBay. I'm still conflicted about this particular band. Not sure if I am wearing it properly as in one pic it looks twisted a little.

Look 3:The standard Gold AWS band in Midnight Blue. I really like this band as it compliments a fair amount of my clothing choices. I have to agree with others, this is a very comfortable band.

*I also have a ArmorSuit screen protector and a Moko tpu case cover, both from Amazon. Case cover comes in a 6 pack for 5.99!!*

This is my second order on Etsy. What you need is to open an account on Etsy and ofcourse you need Paypal account. Open an account on Etsy takes juts few second :).

As I ordered my band, I saw that I purchased the last one (appear on seller's page with the last one). After ordering, I have contacted to the seller to customize my band a little bit longer. He replied me in 24 hourse and was nice and customer-oriented to make the band longer for me :). I think you would ask him if he still has the option that you like ;)

I have a knock of off the milanese AW band. I bought on Amazon and it had great reviews. I love how it looks and it's much easier to put on that my sports band. However, it seems to slip or something...somehow loosen up and I have to frequently re-tighten. I don't know if this is an issue with magnetic type bands in general or if it relates to less expensive options. I paid $25 for it. I really want to like this band but wish I could figure out the slipping issue.

Just got another band. (Yes, I'm weak as pond water.) This was a recommendation from a friend, and very inexpensive.

$16.99 made by OULUOQI.

I own another slightly more expensive black mesh (Milanese loop), but it's a lot thinner and tends to "wrinkle up" when not on your wrist. I really like this so far.

This post brought to you by my navy band and by my upcoming trip to England. I don't have many bands yet and I really like the idea of coordinating my bands and face with my outfit. The blue on the flag is actually a darker navy but shows up light in this photo. The devil is in the details.

Pad & Quill are terrible. Awful. They're nasty guys too.

Girl, you think you're got chunky wrists? LOL! I'm assuming that's the M/L band but you have it on the tightest hole. Mine is in the center hole so I'm about 3 or 4 holes fatter than you! You talk about looking like a sausage if it's too tight! :p

HA/ This made me laugh today!

It is the small band, and on the loosest one. I can't wear the small band on the Apple one though.

The good news is the doc started me on my meds for pain on monday, and i'm already seeing an improvement. So, hopefully that means I can branch out in the band wear. Of course, I should NOT be eating this bowl of ice cream right now... LOL

Yup, biggest option on the small band.

I had ordered a wooden Apple Watch stand and caddy from them last year and they were polite and the product was nice. Granted it was not a modern contemporary design of a product, but I was attempting to match a vintage wooden caddy my husband already owned for a number of years. The watch stand was extremely delayed but I wrote an email explaining the stand was to be a Father's Day gift, so time was of the essence. They upgraded my shipping to overnight shipping for free and were extremely polite.

What product did you have a problem with? I've only ever ordered that one item so far.

As Taeylor suggested, I took a look at their bands. They were nice looking for men but too bulky for my feminine wrist.

MoKo also makes a sport band that features the Union Jack, if you really want to go whole hog. :) I don't own that one but have purchased several of their sport bands on Amazon and have been really pleased with the quality thus far.

I'm back to wearing the black sport band over the pretty red Clockwork one - less pain this week in the wrists.

BUT, I need some color - i love the feel of the Apple band - not unlike my lime green iP6 case (that my daughter just stole). Do the Moko bands feel really similar? I know they are different material, but just wasn't sure how that impacted the feel. I guess I just should order one and see for myself huh?? LOL
Click to expand...
The Moko bands are very similar, but a touch thinner and lighter. I've seen others complain about them being lint magnets (as compared to the OEM sport bands), but I haven't noticed that (or at least it hasn't bothered me enough for me to notce it), and I have cats. Who shed. A LOT. :) I love having the option to get multiple colors for the price of one Apple sport band (though I did just bite the bullet and bought the light pink OEM band yesterday. I so hope it's as cute in person as it is on their site!) Overall, I've been super happy with my Moko bands.

ETA: Just noticed that the merged posts--both about Moko--make me sound like a shill for them. I swear, I'm not. lol.
