Nice band! I like the adapter better on this one. Do you mind sharing the link where you bought it from? Thanks!
Thanks to you both. Ordered one from eBay. I really hope I like it enough to return the Apple Link Bracelet that I just ordered. They'll both be delivered around the same time.
Very clean lines. Thanks for posting.
Does it have the Hoco brand name exposed on the band anywhere?
From some of the photos on eBay, it appears that because the clasp is on the inside and slightly raised, it might press into your wrist.
See http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HOCO-St...307?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item419650ed73
Do you notice it? Overall, how comfortable is the five bead?
It curves perfectly with my wrist and I don't notice it at all and is very comfortable.
Me too and loved it so much that I've already ordered the other style. 2 quality and good looking link bracelets for £60 that ship for free and come with a link removal tool? Er, yes please!
Just found this cool-looking metal link band:

not a bad price either...it does have little tabs that stick out for taking the watch off, but it still looks sleek with the butterfly clasp.
Looking again, the rendering looks cooler than pics of the actual watch band
I still like that butterfly clasp tho.
Just ordered the 5 bead from Hoco for about $34 shipped:

Now the wait begins.

It looks very different in the renders of just the band than it does on the watch. In the renders it looks thin and sleek, on the watch the links look thicker and more rounded. It's hard to know what it would actually look like in person.
Agreed :/ I saw that and decided against it because it seems misleading. Wish there were more bands with the butterfly clasp, I like that look.
Thanks for all the photos, the 5 bead version looks sleek! Even better than the eBay photos. Mine can't get here soon enough!
Under $10, but no adapter:

Black band, no adapter:

They're out there...just have to wonder if the adapter fits - the hole in one of my old Fossil metal link bands was too small to accommodate the adapter, but it does fit a spring bar like the one Click offers (hurry up Click!).
Adapter, $13, from China in black (looks gray to me):

That looks fantastic, hands down the best looking bracelet. looks even better than apple's link bracelet IMO, i love it , mine should be here in 7-12 business days, how long did it take to receive yours and which seller did you order from? i ordered mine from amazon.
Thanks! I agree
I couldn't justify the price for Apple's one, as much as I wanted it. I bought mine off a seller on eBay named "yu-technoloy". It took about 2 weeks to get here from China (I'm in Australia).
How quickly did you receive it? Was the band easy to adjust?
Thanks, the band looks great.
