Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands

[iVegas]

So is the leather loop from Freedomoclock better than the one from lnkoo888 or are they all the same? I remember reading on a thread here that the magnet on one from lnkoo888 wasn't that strong

My Inkoo loop is just as strong as Apple's. Very pleased with it.

Thanks! I placed an order for the Milanese loop with this guy and I might as well place an order for the leather loop as well.

I've been swindled on AliExpress!

I bought THIS BAND when the seller first had it offered for $60 (now sells it for $100). I finally received it today and it sure isn't what I ordered. I've opened a dispute and sent in these pictures. This was my first experience with AliExpress so I'm not exactly pleased. I guess we'll see what happens. If anyone has any tips please feel free to share!

I was also swindled by AliExpress with the same band. The seller has now changed his photos and upped the price. I filed a dispute. Not only did I get that same band as you, the band is too heavy for the band and now has broken after one day. I just ordered another one from the Utica guy on eBay

So sorry to hear that. I still haven't heard from the seller regarding my dispute. kind of hoping they don't respond and I just get an auto-refund after a few days.

Can't go wrong with Utica Guy. Great seller.

"Utica guy" AKA Freedomoclock09; an eBay seller based in Utica, NY. Has been one of the best reliable sellers according to many members here including me. Here's his eBay link- http://m.ebay.com/sch/freedomoclock09/m.html?_pgn=1&isRefine=true

Does anyone have real pics from the utica guy of a black or space gray metal band?

 

[Reytiros]

are there any classic buckle replicas with acceptable/good leather quality? those bands from hoco feel and look horrible

I haven't seen any, the best thing I'd say to do is to buy adapters and a quality strap separately. Unless I've missed something recently.

I actually just got a message from Utica Guy Freedomoclock on regards of the Space Black/Space Gray link.

"Hi Jmona,

Thanks thanks for positive feedback

1.Space gray: It should be end of Aug.

2.Production of bracelet link: it seems very slow,factory make very limited quantity,and most of time are defective.

3.Quality:I test it many days,i guess it is good and acceptable.of course,not perfect...the clasp parts is not precise enough,the band connect to adapter part is not precise.

Others seems very good

DHL shipment will deliver to our USA warehouse today,and ship it immediately...

Richard"

Thank you very much Jmona, i really appreciate it. Did he say how much it is going to cost for it? I found some pictures from a seller in singapore here they are

 

[JXShine]

I did. Tracking number from China not active yet though. :/

when you get it, can you post some pics and let us know what the length is? I have a small wrist and am afraid that it might be too long for me.

Thanks!

 

[superpopsss]

Only thing I'm afraid with the current replicas of the link bracelets is that the butterfly clasp os going to be uncomfortable no ?

Someone on here has had one of the replica link bands for about a week now and commented that the clasp wasn't an issue at all and is quite comfortable.

He said minimum $10 more for the space black gray. Pre-orders start next week i think.

Thanks. I got in touch with him today and this was his response in regards to pricing. Pretty much said that the black will be much higher than the silver. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case.
