cool! how do you like the nylon? Is it soft?

Its soft to medium.
My skin is quite sensitive esp. to wool.
When I first put the blue band on I thought oh know I may be sensitive to the Nylon.
I was 100% wrong must have been just in my mind dont even know its on now.
I have 15 bands purchased over 15 months all from aliexpress different sellers.
These two bands and my leather one are in my top three(price for leather band has gone up a lot last time I looked but if you are interested can post details on that band - beautful coffee 'vintage' look was £14.00)
I guarantee you will be over the moon with these Nylon bands.

Which apple watch do you have and which Nylon band(s) colour(s) do you like.?

cheers
ps
Not affiliated! just excited by saving £ and the outstanding quality.

"Good things come to those that wait"
lets be honest you wont lose sleep over $10.00 for 3 to 3 1/2 weeks and then you have saved up to $60.00
Dont hesitate to ask any more queries.

Just pressed the button on another black Woven Nylon band at under £7.00 it a no brainer to have a spare.

What is the best clone Link Bracelet under £50 from Amazon / eBay / AliExpress now?

I had one that I bought last December which had some issues, and one I bought in January which I loved but I unfortunately stood on it and snapped it last night.

I bought them direct from the factories when I was in Shenzhen, China and that isn't an option available to me at the moment!

This fabulous one is from INTENY on Amazon. Great quality and great fit. Also ordered a black one from them and it's just as good. Didn't have as much luck with the scuba blue, had an issue with the adapter fitting into the watch so returned it to Amazon.

A year later I ordered a 3rd party leather loop in black for 38mm Watch. This one is actually great. It smells of leather this time, the fit on the lugs is perfect. No metal showing and very accurate fit as far as the width of the band at the lugs. Very pleased for £10! If it doesn't last long it's cheap to replace. If it had a space black SS part it would be even better.

So I decided to buy a black Milanese Loop clone from AliExpress last month for my silver Sport. It was only 10 bucks or so US, so why not? Seller had a few thousand orders with good feedback.

Have to say it's pretty good, especially since early attempts around these threads had samples that showed promise, only to fail later.

I also wasn't sure if the colour would match. Turns out I was overly cautious, and at a quick glance no different to pairing a Silver Sport with a black Sport Band.

Where did you order this band from? It looks like the best leather loop clone to date!

I am still waiting for mine after 50 days.... I suggest who is interested into to think about looooong shipping times. Do you think I should open a refund?
Hi
Sorry you haven't had your band(s) yet.
I'm still waiting on one more band ordered on 7th Nov and two more bands ordered 11th Nov same seller, from my original post recommending seller and bands.
These things from aliexpress tend to turn up unexpectedly!
But as these prices.
Most definitely I would contact the seller and put in a dispute for 'purchase protection'.
Christmas post may have held things up.
I have had at least one item from aliexpress (another seller) which eventually arrived 2 weeks late.
Do update when band(s) arrive, as I will with my 2 orders from same seller.
Cheers

Wanted a "Nike" strap to use when I'm out running, as I figured it'd be more breathable, so picked up an Elobeth strap from Amazon.

First impressions are it's good, feels okay and there doesn't appear to be any "over hang" on the lugs. Time will tell if it's any good or not.

Hi
As promised, updating, my two straps arrived from the ali seller in the week.
If yours haven't arrived yet, and I hope they have, the seller does reply.
Worth waiting for.
Cheers
