Today I'm rolling with the Cordura, Clockwork Synergy band...!
And then last night, I ordered a Yellow and Orange 2 Piece RAF Nato, from Clockwork Synergy

They are definitely darker than Space Gray, so no worries using them with SS Space Black.
It looks great, I think that I could wear it with a suit or something fancy and it'd look great. The magnet is really strong, it stays in place. Oh and I paid only $10 for it.
Bought it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...ple-Watch-Sport-Edition-Series-2/261982443968
Just ordered one myself. Looks like a great bargain. It even looks exactly the same as the official Apple one.
Interesting question. I don’t recall there being a choice of length only the size watch. But, since I always feel I’d love the band to be a little longer, I’m guessing it is 22mm...
Do you have a link to those? I went to the URVOI Ali express store and didn’t see the regular sport bands only the two tone versions they make.
Just received my Link bracelet from Urvoi, and wow... I'm impressed. Quality is amazing and even has the quick release mechanism for the links. Will post pics up in a bit!

Happy birthday to me. This is my Orange RAF NATO, from Clockwork Synergy.
It fits very nice, and it comfortable, too!

Sure !
Its this one with the black buckle : https://www.trendart-24.de/Feines-franzoesisches-Softlederband-Modell-Berlin-TiT-blau-23-mm
Just got an interesting new one from Amazon for $11.99. I just put it on, so I can't tell you much about longterm wear, but it is remarkably comfortable.
It's made of an elastic material that stretches and breathes. I suspect it would be really good for those who sweat a lot. Takes a minute to get the band "meshed," but it seems as though it will stay without problem, and get easier to put on as time goes by.

Yeah but who wants to be the guinea pig and try them? Those look like apple's pics in the description and while I'm guessing they aren't bad, they probably aren't dead on either.

Oh, look, Clockwork Synergy, Yellow Perlon...
Not sure how I fully feel about it not having predefined holes for the buckle. But...

I’ll be it since I’ve been waiting for these. I don’t know how bad you can screw up this material, it’s cheap.... but my only concern is the quality of the Velcro or whatever makes it stick. It’s arriving on Tuesday I’ll take pics and report then.
Ok so my third party sport loop came in today. I don’t have an official Apple one at home but I’ve Played with it at the store.
First impressions: easy to put on and sits Flush and tight. The material feels exactly the same as the Apple one from what I could remember, even the Velcro feels of good quality, snapped on nice and tight, I get the impression that it will last a long time. Feels really comfortable and to be honest material wise I couldn’t tell the difference between this and the Apple one. Color wise I think is the only negative, the Apple one has less of the pink colorful material underneath and looks darker as a result, but I’m going to stop by the Apple store tomorrow to compare this a little better
Now for some pics:

....which colour is this band?!
The colours of the Apple ones are a way off IMHO. Their 'Midnight Blue' looks more purple/white than blue and their 'black' band looks more brown than black....?!
Just ordered these in five colors:

I'm curious to what the quality will be. Articles and their reviews look good on Aliexpress.
