Got the Moko indigo sports band for my space grey. It's a nice combo.

really nice and thanks for showing that you can get face colour to match strap, I know I sound silly but I didn't click on that till you showed the photo.


is that not 'Royal blue' you mention 'indigo'?

cheers

My mom just recently bought the HOCO Milaneese strap and love the quality and feel of it. Great buy... BUT: She has a wrist of 15 cm (just under 6 inches) and they list it as supporting 13-18 cm wrists - but the thing is very long... She bought the 38 mm. version and the magnet almost touching the watch case...

Anybody else experienced this?

Bought me this red Apple watch sport bandje for €20,- in the Netherlands. The quality is as good as the original i guess, testing it now for 3 weeks. See no difference between thethird party sport band and the original only the price.

Chinese, God bless them, they do have problems with their 'reds' and 'oranges' though. They are ever so slightly colour blind just like my 'red' band

ps hope we don't get our wrist slapped for posting on this thread. I did!! really this should be on the other thread.

"Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands"

View attachment 593261 Got my product red (I will give a donation to charity)

from http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/161844654706

The jury is out on the colour I'm afraid, some say 'red' (in darkend light) some say 'orange, but dont worry that is the colour of the season!'

I say inbetween red & orange. and the light changes the colour a lot.

I think the Chinese may be slightly colour blind on their reds and oranges!

I did pay twice aliexpress price so would expect 100% red.

but hey ho

ps
cant help but feel most of the sports knock offs are from the same manufacturer. Just different supplier.

Least expensive at £4.58 inc shipping for UK buyers http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/252101156786 awaiting dark blue.

Please correct me, but is that 88.36% cheaper than apple's £39.00 genuine article?

If so I can see where apples approximate profit margin of 40% comes from.

Hahaha yes the color is between red/pink and orange. Red is the only color that is difficult to make for Chinese manufacturers i guess. The prices for the Apple watch bands are twice overpriced so the Chinese manufacturers wins haha.

Just got my HOCO Stainless Steel link bracelet- this thing is a rock solid choice! Damn it's nice. The tool in the package to adjust the length sucks (cheap plastic) but it was free.

Just ordered the 42mm space gray sport.

I think this company has been mentioned before, but I went with the Clockwork Synergy red leather apple watch band with the black buckle. Here's the link: http://www.clockworksynergy.com/sho...-interchangeable-watch-band-fits-apple-watch/

I spoke to them on the phone about the adapter fitment and they stated that they are confident that it fits like OEM. We shall see! Use the code watchfreeks15 for 15% off. Ended up being $37 with free shipping for the band and adapter. There are different color options for the adapter, as well.

Finally got my two 3rd party leather loops - pretty great feel and quality so far. Might not hold up in the long run, but still feels great

Hi. Do u have a link to the seller? Any metal showing at the connectors - other versions had this issue whilst it was on the wrist. The fit looks pretty good too.

They do feel great yeah - haven't seen the original Apple loops yet, so can't compare them.

Bought it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191676686820?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=490718751005&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Took forever to arrive (orderet September 27th and they came yesterday) but it was cheap and I think it was because of the economy shipping.

Nice, thanks a lot. Quality looks good and fit and finish. Do you know how long the bottom part of the band is? Trying to see if it's a Medium or Large, but I am assuming large since that's what most of the 3rd party loops are coming in. Conversely, what's the circumference of your wrist for comparison?

I tried messaging the seller and he wasn't able to provide me with the length, citing "too many products" in his store...
