its a MoKo Stainless Steel Metal Replacement Smart Watch Band Bracelet with Double Button Folding Clasp for 42mm Apple Watch All Models, Space GRAY
Quality of the Jet and BRG are very close but I prefer JET as there customer service is very good.
I rotate bands so frequently I honestly don't know what company's band I am putting on my wrist.
Do you happen to have a photo of them? I am mostly curious about any overhang where it connects to the watch.
Looking for a nice camo/olive green nylon band for my 42mm SG.
Anything out there other than Monowear? They're pretty pricey at $60.

You can customize the buckle and adapter colors to match your watch.
That is one of the issues I have seen with the sport bands.
again for as little as $6 I can accept a not perfect fit.
Most of my bands fit well.

The FanTek (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01DD2PWAY/) bands finally arrived the other day. Been wearing the Midnight Blue for a day - no signs of wear (can't say that for the Moko - they had blemishes in their finish after a few hours). Very close if not the same thickness as the Apple sport bands! Really nice feel too!
Surprised that the Midnight blue is a smidge shorter than the yellow though - have to do it up on the second hole in, rather than the third.
Quite happy with them though - hopefully they stand up as well as the Apple bands.

just got my new SB SS 42 series 2 and looking to add a 3rd party link bracelet. is there a general consensus as to the best quality one? i see multiple "generations" of link bracelets on amazon and different brands such as Moko, top4cus, OULUOQI.
can anybody provide any personal recommendations? thanks!

Any good knockoffs of the Hermes band? Or the Apple Classic Buckle in tan leather?
The ones I'm more or less looking for are these:

I ordered one of these cause my wife wanted the double tour. It's little expensive, but you get all three styles so when she's not using the double tour I can make it a single tour or cuff
I'm pretty sure one side of the band stays on the watch and you swap out the other sides. It's not multiple complete bands.https://www.amazon.com/Hoco-Pinhen-Genuine-Leather-Classic/dp/B01DFJAFK2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475946856&sr=8-2&keywords=Hoco+Hermes&th=1

Yes, I was aware of that before ordering. That's why I said I'll use it when my wife doesn't.
It would've been nice to have 3 complete sets

How's the quality? I ordered regardless. I take good care of my things. Just hoping it's durable enough and won't snap off or whatever.
Mine's arriving on Mon since I ordered it yesterday and it's coming via Fedex.
Here's a review I found https://superphen.co/2015/10/19/reviewing-hocos-replica-hermes-apple-watch-bands/
You should contact Combat Straps. He posted a few on his Instagram account not too long ago. He can customize one as you wish, with high quality leather. He sources some of his material from the same provider Hermes uses. www.combat-straps.com www.instagram.com/combat_straps
- Just ordered a 38mm Series 2 silver aluminum from Best Buy and am looking for a knockoff leather band similar to Apple's marine blue classic leather. Anyone have any suggestions on a nice substitute?
I just got the OULUOQI and it seems like good quality. Just wish it was a bit better matching to the Stainless Steel of the Apple Wath. The watch is more shiny while the band is a tad dull in comparison.
This one looks awesome from Nomad:
