View attachment 763016 Ok just received yet another band. When will this end?!!!!

Ah, the Juuk Vitenza Onyx! Awesome, I have the same band. You like it? I think it goes great with the silver or stainless watches, particularly the Series 3 with the red dot on the crown!

Yes I love it,my watch is space grey although it looks kinda siver in photo as lighting is crap in my flat.

Have you bought from this seller before?

I'm looking for some 38mm Nike Styled bands.

I've read everything from how some feel cheap and poorly made.
How they've come apart and the watch falls.

No, I haven't bought from them before.

Saw this band on eBay today. I like the two tone leather.

Anybody seen a good quality version of this blue stripe woven nylon? I found 2 on amazon but one looked like the colors were faded and one only had 38mm available

I’ve bought a couple from this guy and they are pretty good quality.

Awesome thanks I placed the order.

Does anyone know of a band similar to the Apple sport loop but that’s magnetic? I don’t like the Velcro...

Did you receive the bands yet?
Curious of the quality

Jup, you need a Milanese Loop or a Leather Loop. There are no woven or sport bands that are magnetic.

Looks like it will be in today before 8pm. I will post some feedback and pictures this evening

I bought 3 bands from him... got them on Thursday... got to say, I am impressed. They feel the same as the Apple OEM bands, and are slightly longer ... so let's do the math ... comparable quality + 3 bands for < $20 delivered or Apple's 3 bands at > $150 (including tax)... no contest.

I meant third party, this thread is for third party bands. The Milanese and leather loop both have steel, which I’m afraid will scratch the aluminum on my watch.

Just a PSA to people interested in third-party bands...

Juuk is running a sale July 1-4 on all their bands to celebrate Canada Day and US Independence Day.

https://www.juukdesign.com/store

I have no affiliation with the company other than a very satisfied purchaser. If you are looking for excellent leather or metal bands, check them out. I am quite happy with mine.

Got the band and so far I am really impressed. The color and the quality is great. From what I remember from seeing and touching the Apple version in store I can’t really tell any difference. The mechanism slides in smoothly and it looks really good overall. Thanks to @InfiniteJoules for the great reccomendation

Thank you. I purchased silicon and sport loops from various peddlers. All were absolute garbage.

I might order one of these to check them out. Thanks

Interesting this listing says preowned

I know. However, Milanese and Leather Loop are also available as third party bands. My remark still stands: you'll need a (third party) Leather or Milanese Loop, there are no (third party) woven bands with magnetic closures.
