Sadly your pictures don't work
Damn - Something is wrong with my Dropbox then - I'll try re-uploading them - nothing breathtaking, but just good view of the two straps
Edit: Pictures should work now...

I have the MoKo myself and like it. I compared what I had with Apple's and found almost no difference. I think the magnet is stronger with Apple's. The price difference is huge and I opted to keep the MoKo and forgo Apple's.The MoKo Space Black Milanese:
I got to compare these yesterday. I own the Apple and bought the Moko for my Mom on her's which I returned. Her wrists are very small and it was too big. But either way, I noticed the Moko was thinner, and felt less durable than my Apple one. It's good for a cheap alternative, but you can definitely tell the difference.I have the MoKo myself and like it. I compared what I had with Apple's and found almost no difference.

Quite interesting - you're the first I've heard saying there is a noticeable difference between the two... The one thing I will give you though, is the size - for some reason the 38mm third party I have seen have been pretty big - My mom started with a 3rd party and had to buy the OEM Apple Milanese because of the size.
Odd I didn't feel the difference and talking to the apple store salesperson, they couldn't either. She's was sympathetic and said, to save my money, she felt not difference between the two (other then the magnet).But either way, I noticed the Moko was thinner, and felt less durable than my Apple one.

They look good because they stole apple's pictures. I'm betting they won't be exactly the same as apple's bands.Aliexpress are now selling the nylon bands, they do look good - has anyone ordered from there?

Hi, I recently got an amazon gift card and want to purchase a few third party sport/leather bands for my 42mm.
What brand/seller should I go thru that is the most comparable to apple OEM bands? Looking for rubber and leather only.
Thanks and likes for the help.
My replacement watch strap from Lucrin got delivered 2 days back. They barely made it within the expected delivery time though (10 business days).
But the wait was worth it!
I chose the mocha colored band for my 42mm Apple Watch. It looks and feels sturdy and clips in in exactly the same way as the original watch bands. It has quite the hefty price tag on it, but so far, I have no regrets! And i think that's what counts - i just hope it stays that way for the next 6 months at least.
Cheers!

Your band looks similar to mine that I ordered today.I ordered three (classic red, navy and navy/green striped) of the "2 piece classic" Nato bands from Clockwork Synergy and got the delivery today. The bands are a little thinner and more flexible than the Apple nylon bands, and are constructed completely differently. These bands have the standard "lugs" for attaching to the Watch, as opposed to Apple's molded connectors. Additionally, these bands have two metal loops for the end of the strap that are sewn in place, where the Apple nylon bands have a single "floating" loop made of matching nylon material.
After having worn one of the bands for most of the afternoon, I can say it is quite comfortable - and a bit more casual looking than the Apple nylon bands. When I first put it on, I noticed a slight scratchy feel to the inside (side of the band that actually touches my skin)... so if you in any way have "sensitive" skin, it MIGHT be a bit of an issue. The bands are also slightly shorter than the Apple nylon bands.
For the price ($24.95 with a 20% discount via coupon code), I'd say they are keepers - but I will wear them in much more casual environments.
Going to town again! Just spent $321 on watch bands today!
Thank you. I definitely will share them when I receive them, and the total bands that I have including this order is 43 bands.I love your buying sprees! Post when you get them!
How many bands will you own now with that order?
I have the black and navy heavy nato's and Bond (red/green/black striped) classic nato from CWS - all with the black PVD coated hardware and space black lugs to support my space black watch (now, back then, their lugs were the same as what Apple has on the classic buckle, but they stopped doing that as their supplier wasn't being consistent about applying lock-tite to the screws (and a few people had issues with them getting loose)I ordered three (classic red, navy and navy/green striped) of the "2 piece classic" Nato bands from Clockwork Synergy and got the delivery today.
