Leather Loop knock off ~ anyone get one yet?

You propably had the one that feels pretty smooth, little plasticy, and has some reflection, right?
Indeed, that stuff has just a very thin layer on it, and it's very soft and weak.
Can you take a pic of the bands on their own, taken off the Watch?
Also, the bottom band doesn't look centred. Did you just not click it in properly?

got my blue LL from inkoo last week. I like it, good value for the price. I do notice the adapter peeking out from under the casing on both sides at certain angles. Much moreso on the top the adapter is visible.
Does everyone's adapters do this?
The adapters are both definitely clicked in properly, the pics I posted were of when my wrist was somewhat angled so the band was pulled taut. I just found it odd the adapters, esp on top, were so visible. But as for the $35 price point, you can't expect a knock off to be perfect. Just had wondered if it was a defect or how they all were.
Do you have a pic of your adapter end off the watch? Here is mine for comparison
Sure here
I'm pulling and pressing down on mine, don't have that problem. As I slide the adapter through, the metal part of the band is well covered by the Watch. My band's problem is leaving gaps either side of the Watch, although it's not really bothering me.
I've also started trying to wear my Watch looser during the day, as long as the heart rate monitor still works properly. Not sure if that would make it better for you too.

Does exist a Leather Loop with S/M size like the original?
I bought one from Sikai seller, the quality is good and i like it very much but unfortunately it is too long for my wrist
All the LL i have seen have the same size (between the M and L original size).
If someone have the same problem and have found one shorter, could please share the link?
Thanks!

It was posted a while back. I've already had time to cancel my first order for nonshipment and order a second one. I'm more excited about this one than any of the others. I have a tracking number, but it hasn't hit the US yet.

Ohhh that is great thanks!
Did you try? good magnetic ? connectors ? good leather feel ? ..

Regards,
Got my Blue 38mm wearlizer today in the mail and the hubs fit nearly perfect on top and 95% on the bottom. Leather feels ok on it ( gave it a quick cleaner and conditioner out of the box ) - and so far , very happy. Sorry for the hair...

Just got my happycell red leather loop and i love it. adapter has no gaps. feels good. only one downside. definitely not for us small wristed people. at its tightest, the end is on the face of the watch. I want to buy more, but seems like they are quite popular on amazon and many are not available for prime at the moment.
I'm fairly small waisted as well, - On my sport I use the S/M and normally sit 3 holes from the end - Above is a 38mm, and as you can see it sits pretty well up to the side of my wrist but still works well. Would say it is based on what watch you picked because the 42mms are a few extra MM's longer anyway.
Just got my LL 42 from lancici1985 a UK seller on ebay, great band but I've noted that with my larger wrist the magnets are weaker - probably because there aren't as many links locking together - if I test with more links the magnet hold is much better, but alas my chubby wrists stop that from happening, all in all though a lovely clone of the LL for £25.99
Just got the 42mm black one from lnkoo888 at auction for US$25. It does fit perfectly, even the adapter width is right. The problem is that I do see the adapter peeking out on both sides, just a little, but you do see it. Some faults do bother me, and I am not sure yet if this will bother me enough to make me return it. Right now I am trying to decide if I should keep it or not. The only good thing is that I did get the band pretty cheap. Are you going to keep the band or is this imperfection going to make you return it? Just been wearing it and now that I know about it, it is starting to really bother me. I am going to write lnkoo888 about the problem.got my blue LL from inkoo last week.

The bands from Freedomoclock09 and lnkoo88 are different bands because I have a blue from Freedomoclock09. If you on the lnkoo888 adapter, you will see a B on it. Not sure what that stands for, but Freedomoclock09 band's adapter doesn't have that. The small part of the lnkoo888 band is shorter than Freedomoclock09 and lnkoo888 larger part of the band is longer than Freedomclock09. The material does feel the same. I have worn my blue band everyday from Freedomoclock09 and it has been great. Maybe I should bight the bullet and return the lnkoo88 one and by the black from Freedomoclock09. Not sure what to do?

If you got it for free, would you wear it? If not, then return it. It's not really a bargain if you don't like it!
I think you are right. I already put the blue leather loop back on to the watch. I guess I won't buy from lnkoo again, because of 3 bad bands now. First one was damaged, the second one was defective and the 3rd one was defective. Only reason I purchased the auction because I hadn't received the replacement yet and thought I just happen to get a bad one at first. Of course the replacement was defective. So I prayed that the black one from auction would at least be fine, and it was, sort of, except for the adapter showing. So I probably should just return it for a refund because it will bug me and I won't wear it. When Freedomoclock09 gets more black in stock I will probably order one. Well after thinking about it I just put in for a return on ebay. I guess I will be happy with my one Non OEM Blue leather loop for now plus my medium OEM Black Leather Loop.
Update: Put in for return, he offered me to keep it and give $5 off. I said no I want to return it. Will see what happens.
