Any good Milanese band that matches 100% sport space black color? I have to buy as a present and I don't want it to be more "stainless steel" than "sport" finish.

What was your choice? Any picture?

Thanks in advance!

lol, goes to show apple needs to improve in low light and dark scenery with flash. i've tried many times and failed taking photos of my daughter asleep in awkward positions but the camera at night just sucks.

What is the best Space Gray link bracelet replica out there? I'm looking for (1) minimal gaps between links, (2) matching colour, and (3) no pin tool required to remove/add links.

In case anyone is interested Moko Silver 42mm Link bracelets are on sale for 19.99 on amazon. At that price I had to order one. :)

I believe this is the old hoco band from amazon now names Oittm. this is my 2nd day with it and i really like it. comfortable and snug. perfect for the office and formal look. i have hairy arms and no issues with pulling hair. looking to get something for casual friday and weekend use now. maybe leather or nylon band.

Hi. Any pictures of Cocoa, Ocean Blue and Concrete non-OEM sport bands? And if, some comparison to the OEM. Thanks

Absolutely delighted with my two new nylon knock offs from Aliexpress.
Delivery was 3 1/2 weeks to the UK but when I queried I got perfect English in response, very pleasant and arrived two days after query.
The 1st photo is the "2" on their site

I will upload my "1" band tomorrow.

If I had purchased this watch strap in the apple store I'd be over the moon - but compare prices.

Cheers

ps
The lugs are a lovely 'blue' colour, very unusual but nice.
Sports, Space grey 42mm.

Anyone bought fake Nike bands yet?

Purchased a few.

The black / gray - by the end of the day it collects some much lint and debris it looks like dark gray / gray

The gray / white - the gray is a few shades lighter than the OEM.

I have purchased 4 bands from four different sellers.
All have the same feel.

How the straps fit into the watch vary from mediocre to good.

That's pretty much consistent with all of the 3rd party "Sport" Bands. They're great especially for colors Apple doesn't have, but after wearing one for a while, it just didn't work well enough for me despite the color. In the end of all of the Apple and non-Apple bands I have, Apple's Sport Bands are the ones I wear the majority of the time.

The Nike+ version of the band felt quite nice, and had a softer feel to Apple's standard Sport Band.
