I just bought this reading trough comments, looks like it has great reviews and orders.

Dunno if i buy more, i have the gold sport, and bright flashy bands dont really work with it, but from seeing this picture, i think the leather loop will look nice. May look into a milanese loop or a stainless link, but the links seems to be really hit or miss, and it can get expensive since they cost from 50-100 dollars.

Maybe a brown leather one too would be nice with the gold

Why not buy from Amazon for 6 dollars more? Happycell?

Almost every experience I've had with a third party band so far has been bad, so I was giving one last shot to handy gear on eBay with a Midnight Blue Band (since they've received positive reviews here).

I got it way earlier than expected and it's great! It looks and most importantly feels like the real thing! I will be ordering more from this seller and am very happy about the recommendation here.

I ordered a Red Moko band from Amazon which arrived with it yesterday and I'm really pleased.

Looks great with the SB SS too.

do yourself a favor.. order a red from URVOI on aliexpress. ZERO overhang.
I dont understand the use of the word 'overhang' is it the spare strap after the buckle when on wrist?
If correct how can you tell from the photo that there is any 'overhang' surely it's hidden?

I ordered exactly same colour from the same seller ebay (UK) on 23/09/15 with
'Item will be delivered on or before 28th October 2015'.
As of today 30th October still
not arrived, no problem for a fiver I'm not losing sleep, but ebay user name 'double-turbo' not living up to their name.

ps thanks for photo nice shade of blue.

It's the edge of the band hanging over the outside of the watch frame... Basically it's the watch band being ever so slightly too wide

okay I understand, thanks for clarifying, will look out for that now as obviously a 'design fault'.

Any recommendations for a 3rd party band in the style of the official Link strap, but that looks nice with the aluminium Sport watch. I'm in the UK, thanks

Recently ordered a 4th gen 1:1 link clone, so far it fits much better than my 1st gen, the gaps are even and tighter, and the design works well. I've only had it for a week, so I can't assess how durable it is but so far it hasn't shown any signs of falling apart.

Any chance you could post a pic showing how tight the links are at the edge closest to the watch face?

That was the flaw in the earlier bands - be interesting to see how much improved the 4th generation is.....

Does anyone have experience with the hermes double tour replica bands offered on ebay in four colors (not the hoco ones)?

So I have seen a ton of first impressions on the moko, but i havent seen any follow ups so i am not sure if i am in the majority or minority. But I have had mine for about two week now and it is not holding up at all. I have barely worn the band and it is already starting to discolor on the bottom of the band by the clasp and the links near it. Anyone have the same experience? I know I wasnt expecting the world but I was hoping to get something that lasted a little longer than this. IMG_0086.JPG IMG_0087.JPG IMG_0085.JPG

Wow, don't have that band but I'd get a refund. Hopefully you're still within the return period. Imagine what it'll look like after 2 months.

So it's been a while since I've been in this thread. I purchased a black Leather Loop clone from somewhere and it's pretty good, though the connector isn't quite wide enough and you can see little gaps. Still, no biggie. The loop is awesome.

I'm interested in some of these link bracelets now since they've seemingly improved leaps and bounds since the summer. Can anyone recommend one in black or space gray?

Also, if anyone can recommend a good sport band seller, I'd appreciate it.
