Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands

[kingofwale]

I doubt there will ever be any clones of the Link version. Cloning that will cost a lot.

tons of other link bands are out there, sub 50 dollars.

eventually it will come out. i doubt it will come out with a clone, probably no more than 100 dollars

what i found kind of suspicious is that the seller wanted me to send him / her a picture of my Apple Watch and he / she was like WOW THIS LOOKS GREAT ... like as if he / she has never seen one before .. sooo not sure how legit that is

The may want to use your pictures in their next advertisement.

Anyone actually get a knockoff leather loop in hand yet?

 

[GrindedDown]

I'm honestly not expecting to see any for another week or two. There are no US sellers that I can find for knock off apple bands and they are all sourced from china. From the sounds of it too, they are just starting to go into production and there are 2-3 week lead times before they are in the US supposedly.

Hopefully soon as I would certainly love to get my hands on one.

Not sure if anyone else has raised the same concern here (I haven't seen it yet), but why does that one leather loop also come with metal adapters? If it's anything close to Apple's, those shouldn't be needed since it should be built right into the leather band. Clearly whatever they're offering is completely different.

Rather have metal adapters than leather ones.

I should receive it June 16th for the fake leather loop. Anyone has better than that ?

HOCO bands came today. The adapters are a great match! Leather is alright. Not as thick as the Apple classic buckle. But overall, I definitely don't mind the $30 band as an alternative to Apple's $149 version which practically looks the same at a glance.

Can you guys post links to the HOCO bracelets? I wanna make sure I'm getting something legit.

Those HOCO bands look great! I'll have to hunt some down on ebay! Do they all come with the stainless steel attachments?

If the delivery stats on the eBay listing are accurate I should have mine some time before that. It depends on customs for me.

I didn't consider sizing at the time I ordered. Hopefully it will be closer to the smaller genuine LL than the larger one (for me).

I also ordered some ROCK ones (http://www.ebay.com/itm/22176853668...49&var=520615283611&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) which should come in soon. They look nicer in the promo shots. I'll post more detailed photos of both when I get them. Adapters were included.

A note on Aerb adapters. The first band I ordered from them had one adapter that was fine, the other was missing one screw and the second screw was a completely different kind of screw incompatible with the screwdriver that was included. I contacted Amazon and they had to charge me for a second band and initiate a return (I was refunded once it was returned) for the original. The second one was ALSO missing a screw, though I borrowed one of the ones from the band I returned. Others have had a better experience.

I've been looking for a knockoff black leather loop since I ordered my watch last month.
This thread looks promising, anybody find a good reliable site or eBay seller for one yet?

I can't wait till I can go to the mall & get a knockoff from those stands they sell phone cases at.

Just got this band in today.

HOCO red

Any other photos? LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!

I've ordered a black leather loop from ebay. It's not that we want knockoffs, or even cheaper. We want different colors than Apple has available, and in the case of the leather loop...for some reason Apple doesn't offer them for the 38 mm watch. WTH, Apple?!

Here you go! It's a bit thin and plasticky even though it's leather. I'm hoping the ROCK ones I ordered are a little bit thicker. I do love how it looks though.

 

[appleboyy]

Theres already a 3rd party band thread here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1866289/

I took the gamble and ordered a classic leather knockoff from aliexpress.
