Looks nice - very similar design to my HOCO strap (And almost the same name :-D ) Mine is black, but have been a massive fan of it ever since receiving it. Have barely used my leather straps I received the same day, and only the black sports band when I run etc.

How is the black coating holding up on your band? Any signs of shipping or wearing off?

Very impressive ! Have been using it every single day, only except when switching to the black sports band for a morning run, and it still looks new

I definitely recommend picking one up from Form Function Form. If you have any questions just email them, the owner is awesome at replying quickly.

The bottom part of the page for the watch band has more info on the fit and exchange/warranty.

I bought a form•function•form band also and it is beautiful. Fits perfectly and the color of the leather is very classy.

Just received my MOKO link bracelet over the weekend. The fit and quality are superb. View attachment 597879 View attachment 597881

Ordered mine! Hoping it's as good as it looks in your photos.

Thanks! Just received it yesterday and so far, so good. Surprised how comfortable it is on my wrist.

My black hobo band is wearing at the point where my wrist rub or rests on my laptop that I work on at work.

First third party strap on my SS 42mm watch.
Strap is a 24mm Di-Modell jumbo Calf Leather in gold brown from watchobsession.
Adapters are Olixar ones from mobilefun

Very pleased with it.

I also got my 24mm Di-Modell Jumbo, which is going to be my daily work band.
This is almost look like Hermes single tour, some people ask me about is it Hermes AW, except Di-Modell Jumbo is actually waterproof to 100meter.
I always want a good looking waterproof leather watch strap, and I think I found it.

Here is pics with RHD deployant.

Got an awesome strap from Black Forest on etsy. Sent in my measurements so it fits perfectly, and I even asked them to put on a black buckle which they did for my space black stainless steel.

Looks awesome! Might get one myself Would like a little more clean look without the stitching though...

Check out this paracord 550 band that my girlfriend made for me! I've gotten so many compliments at work and people asking me where can they get one. What do you guys think? View attachment 587664 View attachment 587663 View attachment 587662 View attachment 587660 View attachment 587661

I'd buy that!

Padd & Quill are now taking preorders for these bands. I love this design compared to the first classic buckle they came out with...I'm a sucker for the finished edges

The only thing I don't like is similar color vertical stitching make watch band looks old fashion.
Personally, AW is a very high tech and modern watch, I would prefer a contrasting stitching, or no vertical stitching at all.

I have a few beautiful leather bands from Toltec Wear on Etsy.
He makes the most gorgeous bands and is really helpful in creating the band you want.

Black thick Rugged

Orange Panther

Midnight blue

Also, I bought this great leather Cuff from Hoco on AliExpress. Still looking for a black Cuff..

Hi all,

I am looking for some suggestions, or even better, pictures. I have the 38 rose gold sport. Looking for a new strap but I just don't know what to get!! I did like the blue leather loop, but was hoping for some new ideas. I have very small wrists so I am looking for something that's feminine and clean looking, not bulky/big. Also I prefer other material than the sportband (which I now have in lavender).
What do you guys think??
