Looks great. Prepper band?Just put this thing on a few minutes ago. Kinda stiff, but being the type of band it is, should start flexing and expanding soon. It is pretty cool.

(notice the scratchy complaint posted earlier) - if you have sensitive skin *ducks*Looking for a good army green/olive/camo nylon band with space grey buckle and quick switch pins. Any recommendations?

I've had this band for about 3-4 weeks. I really like it and it became my go to watch band. It's not now though. While it was thin and very comfortable, I kept finding myself adjusting the end so it was tighter on my wrist.Moko's Black Milanese Loop:

Verdict:
My second favourite.
I really like the black with the silver aluminium watch, a nice contrast I find.
Normally I don't like thin bands on the Apple Watch, I think they make the watch look rather large on the wrist. -on my dainty, girly wrists, anyway.
But I quite like this.
The Milanese Loop looks almost a little futuristic, fits a smart watch rather nicely I think.
There is a fly, or two, in the ointment however:
The end pieces don't fit perfectly in the watch.
They seem a little to thin, so they wiggle a little while you slide them in.
But once they clamp into place they feel quite secure.
This band has an annoying tendency to make a slight "click" while worn, almost like a tap from the watch itself. I think it comes from the wiggle room in the en piece the band passes through.
I keep confusing the click for a notification and end up checking the watch more frequently than I'd prefer.
I've tried to picture it below:

I just received the same exact band this morning. Not experienced the "click" noise yet but Im surprised how comfortable it is. Being new to AW I always thought this would not be that nice to wear but it surprisingly is
Fitment looks very good too in to the watch.

I'm now wearing the Apple Midnight Blue band. I like that it is locked in essentially and the color goes well with most of my blue clothes. I do wear other colors (clothes). I'm staying with what I have for a while though. I love the Milanese Loop look, but too much effort on adjusting the band for me.

My Series 1 is New Again
Leatherman Tread with ChronoLinks
Had a hard time deciding which links to ditch because you have to make room for the Apple Watch and size it for your wrist. Ended up ditching two hex links, two slotted links, and one pick link.
Man I really want one of these for my black SS S2. I always find myself having to discover where my son or wife left my screwdrivers and this would just be amazing. The band and the links are a bit steep in price though. I have read that the flat heads like to twist and chip while the sim poker/cutter link likes to break off. How is yours holding up? Worth getting?My Series 1 is New Again

Me, I like the ClockworkSynergy bands:

LOTS of choices for colours and patterns.
Got this one yesterday.
Though its not a perfect fit in the watch its not too bad.
no doubt.It's a bit disappointing this is still the case.
no doubt.
what I don't understand is they have the exact dimensions of an apple band.
I wonder if they do not copy those exact specs to avoid being sued.
Slack or even nonexistent. I ordered a 3rd party leather strap once where one adapter wouldn't even fit into my watchIt could be lower quality control standards.
Anything that comes out of a production line has inconsistencies. Before being boxed for shipping, though, the goods need to be checked.
The pass-or-fail standard needs to be stringent enough to catch the obviously bad parts, yes. But if they tried to only ship 100% perfect pieces, they'll have to reject an ever-growing percentage. Every rejected part is lost money, and the QC department is going to weigh how close to 100% perfect they're going to ship versus how many they're going to throw into the trash.
So, besides maybe being simply worse at making straps, these other manufacturers probably have more slack QC standards.
