Loving the Clockwork Synergy Vintage brown band. Still on the fence between 24mm (with their adapter) or a 22mm version with the Click adapter that I am STILL waiting on.

Hi !
Did you find something like this ?

MVMT watches sells their bands independently and they are compatible with the aftermarket adapters. I tried the black one from them but felt it was too much like the black sport band. The brown ones only have the silver buckle though - they might customize it for you.

MoKo Space Gray band came from Amazon, not bad! The color I think is pretty darn cool..depends on your monitor, I hope the photo shows the true color(?) Not a perfect match to the Apple Sport Gray, the band is slightly lighter. In certain lighting conditions the band will look darker.

The gaps..yeah you see them. I can learn to deal with it.

However I am a tad concerned on the connections of the links. When you resize the band and remove links. The pin(s) that connects the links under the band, I feel they could come off if you bump the watch by accident just hard enough - then of course the entire watch falls to the ground - That's just my initial opinion on that..maybe I worry too much.

How comfortable is it? I see that it doesn't have the flush clasp on the inside of the band like the original one does.

what a coincidence, mine also arrived today. Very happy with it. Sure, you can see some small gaps, but for $60, i think this is a great option. The color goes great with the space gray sport watch. It's surprisingly comfortable (not pulling at my arm hair, has a good heft to it but not too heavy). It was a bit tedious to take out the links, but it only took about 10 minutes and it's a one time deal. Moko continues to impress me with the quality of their products. I've got 3 of their sport bands and now this space gray link bracelet.

My cheap ebay 6 usd spring bar adapters came in, they fit well, but sadly are glossy black) a 24 mm Hirsch (new) and a Panatime 22mm link (already had, from my Pebble Time) (Definately need a pair of 22mm adapters)

I think it's extremely comfortable and light, I personally don't notice / feel that inside clasp whatsoever and I have it pretty snug on my wrist - not TOO tight, but to the point it doesn't wiggles around. Like "MBHockey" said it doesn't pull on my arm hairs..which is great because I am one hairy Italian mofo. (lol) It's a decent band, damn good price..

I know it doesn't physically look like the real Apple band, I may wait into the new year for that 4th Gen band - after I see other reviews, how it holds up, any defects with how the links remove..etc.

Awesome! The space gray was a style I haven't seen yet. I checked here for the reviews here about Moko, also Amazon which were positive..but the price is what really made me pull the trigger. Oh and also seeing that stock number drop on the band and drop every time I loaded the page " (Only 8 left, 7,..6,..) Crazy!

Then on Monday morning it looked like they replenished the stock as I checked my shipping status. 1 hour later it said "Only 17 left" That night I saw "In Stock Oct. 30" I'm glad I ordered it when I did!

Ooh, can you share a link to the adaptors and the band? BTW, I've toyed with the idea of spraying something that's gloss with a satin top coat. Something like the Krylon satin finish could work well.

Hi there, I'm an happy owner of a brand new space gray Apple Watch Sport (38mm)! About two weeks ago, I purchased a pair of band adapters from WATCH SHOPPE (http://www.watchshoppe.co/collectio...e-watch-band-adapter-space-grey-aluminum-38mm). They fit very well and match my watch color perfectly.
Here some pics with a custom 22mm band (I've inserted the arms into the hole in the wrong way, you will see a little piece of classic aluminium color, never mind!):

Here my band adapters detail, I think they are perfect!

What do you think?

Giacomo.

how is the fit? are the adapters snug? do they have any wiggle? $36 for lugs is pretty steep!

The fit is very good! Adapters don't snug and they match space gray color very well. Yes 36$ is pretty much, but I was looking for the best and I found it!

I have a Midnight Blue Sport Band
coming this week.
Just got a Spigen Rugged Band to go with the Spigen Rugged Case. Nice change of pace.

5e5db4bea08a871e20ce0cafbb955d69.jpg

Great minds think alike. I have the rugged case but thought the OEM black strap looked so small in comparison so I've been waiting for this strap in the UK. I also have the same stand. Any chance you could do me a massive favour and takes lots more pics? Whats your opinions of this combination?

I wanted a big chunky sort of Gshock look, I'm a mechanic a few days a week so its perfect for my work.

Sure I'll try and post some pics later tonight EST.
it's a good look. From what I've been told it does have the Gshock look. It offers great protection and makes it look like a totally different watch very "active" looking. It's good to change up from time to time.

Changes are good. I have silicone in red or red, black leather loop and this would look great for being "active". Whats the strap like, hard rubber or soft touch? Spigen stuff is usually decent. The little nightstand is great for travelling and goes with the case/strap. More pics would be ace, thanks bud!

The Spigen Rugged Band is rather stiff. It can be somewhat of a chore getting it on because the pin has a tendency to pop out of the hole when trying to put the end into the loop.
Some user reviews on Amazon complain about this. I keep my pinky under the band to keep the pin in while putting the end through the loop. Once it's on its very secure in my opinion.
I don't mind the extra effort. I also took the band and bent it several times to make it less stiff. It may become more flexible after wearing for a while.

Sounds pretty solid. Thanks for the review much appreciated !

Here are some pics with the Spigen Rugged Case and Rugged Band.

It's been a few weeks since I had it on and I noticed it's easier to put on so I think in time the stiffness works it self out and the more you wear it the more it conforms to the wrist. Also applying a little pressure on the pin part works it in the hole. Again it feels super secure on my wrist. The screen protector is noticeable with this case on. I use the Spigen Thin Fit also and the screen protector is not noticeable. I use the protectors because 2 came with the Rugged.
