Hey All, Just receive my Nike black/volt watch today! Thing looks awesome and glad I got it.

With that being said, I would like some other color bands, so which knockoff band would you guys recommend to get of the nike bands?

I got the black and grey by the same vendor. Just as nice.

This is my FanTEK after a month of usage. Same issue as with the cheaper aliexpress bands, colour rubs off after a while. If it continues I'll end up with an entirely white one...
I guess I'll try OULUOQI next. Does anyone know how to acquire OULUOQI bands when you're in Europe? They don't ship to Europe through Amazon and they cost quadruple on ebay.

Still going strong with my OULUOQI band. No signs of paint peeling yet, but some spots are getting shiny from friction like the OEM bands get.

Same here. My OULUOQI bands are really the only two I wear anymore. I swap between the black/volt and the black/gray.

I put on my Apple black sport that came with my watch the other day and it just didn't feel right.

That looks familiar
 
To be honest - all knockoff bands aren't very nice compared to the original. Yes Apple charge a lot compared to Chinese knockoffs but they invented and designed the stuff and the quality is just miles ahead. I've had different sports bands, leather loops, nylon and steel bracelet and all of it isn't comparable at all - yes hell of a lot cheaper but I'm settling for a bit fewer bands but OEM quality from now on

Well everyone wants to get the best quality,but the reality is that you get what you paid for.
So it is a little bit unfair to compare them with the original, considering their price difference.

Unfair? Not really. Yeah there is a big price difference, but when they sell you stuff that's often crap when you receive it and very often break and is unusable in weeks or months, it really doesn't matter how cheap it is - it's a waste of money

Well I agree with that but in this case you should just avoid the small resellers and pay a little bit more, or just stick to the original one from Apple.

I just got an OULUOQI band from amazon yesterday and I think it's gonna go back. Hope I can find what I did with the packaging. I like the look and the quality feels good, but I think I sweat under it more than I do the standard Apple band. I'm guessing it's the material or it fits a little tighter. But I notice it sticks to my arm when I go to move it and I don't remember it being like that with the stock band. I'll give it a few days and see how it works out, but not liking it so far.

Its silicone vs the material that apple uses...
