Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands

[redRAYZA]

Seen Moko on this thread before, downside: haven't found a seller that ships to The Netherlands.
Can buy it here from some resellers,.....but they ask €100,-

Look on the bright side. It still beats Apple's price

Received a clone of a link bracelet today which I've bought second handed (for about 40€).

I had to take out 6 links before I had a good fit (small wrists) and this is the result...

What do you guys and girls think about the "gaps". Normal/acceptable? I think this is also due to my small wrists...

Honestly, I saw my friend's OEM link band this week and his had small gaps too. I think that's just part of how the band is supposed to adjust to bend around the wrist. I think it looks good!

Tx!

I've turned the bracelet around , gap is al lot less visible now. I think it is okay for me.... Will decide in a few days!

Can anyone recommend a 3rd or 4th gen space gray link bracelet? I'm hoping to pick up a space gray sport Apple Watch at my local T-Mobile store this week.

Got my 4th Gen, 1:1 Replica Link Bracelet from Aliexpress, seller was Regis Electricmall.

It's not bad, pretty good replica. I did have some issues with removing some links, i.e. needing to press the button harder.
As you can see there are some gaps when wearing, however this seems to be the norm even with the original band.

I ordered the 3rd gen space black link bracelet from Battery Sky, I hope the quality is good as it's the most I've ever spent on a third party band (just over $100 CDN

 

[russkn87]

Wow, that 4th gen link bracelet looks the nuts!

O M G.. that price tag...

Yeah, I was contemplating replacing my silver v2 with a black and a silver version of this 1:1... Until I saw the price...

All thanks to replicating Apple's tool-free adjustable links. It's pretty much a 100% replica for less than half the cost. With that said, I still think Moko's link bracelet has the best balance of looks and price.

Do you have a link and a review of the Moko one?

Do you have a link and a review of the Moko one?

I can't find any "professional" reviews if this particular one online, but I'll share my own opinions after wearing it for over a week. It looks identical to Apple's link bracelet, aside from the small pin holes on each of the removable links. Fit and finish is great and doesn't feel cheap at all. The clasp stays closed (even when pulling hard on it) and there are no huge gaps. I highly recommend it. Check out the pics I posted on the last page.

Wish they sold in the UK!

This is the sport watch, correct? How well does the finish match the band?

I got my 3rd generation black link bracelet today from the link below

I have to say it doesn't fit as good as my 1st gen and the colour is slightly blacker which compared to the one in the Apple Store I think my gen 1 is a closer match.

The band just doesn't bend around my wrist well enough. The links are bent to the max but it leaves a gap around the sides of the band. Basically the band doesn't touch all parts of my wrists

Anyone experienced this with a gen 3? My fear is a gen 4 would be the same.

Let me know about your experiences.

Here's the link to the one I ordered:

Really nice looking, just beautiful. May get the black one when the price comes down to around $100 US

Exact same issues but different seller. Looks the same though. 3rd gen seemed to have fused links between the watch adapter and the first link.

I returned mine right away.

Sorry, missed you're question: I really like the bracelet in combination with the sport watch! There is a little bit of difference between the colors off course , but I think it's perfect!

I just received this MB clone today from this seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Modern-Buck...252070114200&srcrot=e11021.m43.l3160&rvr_id=0

It is made very well... leather is supple & is just like the OEM. Magnets are strong. In pix, the MB black (gold plated) is Apple original & the brown is the clone. View attachment 578679 View attachment 578680 View attachment 578681

How has it held up so far? I ordered from the same seller last week - just waiting for it now!

It has held up as well as my genuine  modern buckle! It looks, feels, & wears exactly like the original, but for a much better price. You won't be disappointed!

Is it possible for you to measure the lug width of your modern buckle. I want to know if it is 22mm. Thanks so much

Thanks! I got the blue one. I have an original brown one (which does look nice) but let's see how this one turns out!
