The Great "Third Party Band/Strap" Thread

[SoJoe]

Here’s my combination for my Apple Watch series 4 44mm at the moment I am using my Archer third party strap, which I found on AMAZON. They are a really good watch strap company (mainly nato straps) but they are really good, strong and comfortable to wear.
[doublepost=1539621392][/doublepost]But this is my ultimate default the black leather loop I have finally just found one brand new on eBay. I’ve seen loads on cex website. But it’s a bonus finding one one Ebay brand new and legit

SBSS 44mm series 4 with gold Milanese loop. This one is comfortable and tight enough, I use it while exercising too!
That said, I’m still looking for one with polished gold lugs to better complement the SBSS.

My latest purchase form Taobao has finally arrived!!!

Hermès replica indigo swift single tour. The leather is almost identical to the real Hermès that I have. The hole spacing could be a bit closer but overall I’m very happy.

A few pics showing the band. The clown strap is genuine. The indigo is the replica.

I also got the link bracelet from the same seller. It’s being sold as imperfect with some scratches but the one I got is good as new. It’s stainless steel and scratches anyway. It was less than 20% of the full price from Apple.

I would say there is a fine line between "replica" and "counterfeit."
Using another company's name on your product is the line.

UGH! I want one of those hermes knock offs but cannot figure out how to order! anyone want to give a step by step with links just for dummy's!

Can anyone help out here?

I would like to order some of these as well because the quality looks good but how do I order and get it to the US?

Does anyone on Aliexpress or somewhere else offer similar quality as these Taobao bands?

Would you say the leather feels good on this one? How close does it compared to an official Apple band?

I would love to find a good replica on Aliexpress or somewhere else since I can't find anyone to help guide me on the step by step to order from Taobao.

I may have gone mad... I just received the twelve Urvoi bands I ordered.

Simple tour and Classic buckle replicas

It looks and smell like real leather (so I guess it is leather).

I can't see the difference between OEM and these. I don't know how OEM feel since I always had sport bands before, but I'm happy with my purchase.

How did you get that shipped? Tried from Canada and got a note that they don’t ship here

 

[Fthree]

just reading over these posts. I am wondering about the apple Indigo nylon sport loop. would yall recommend a 3rd party strap for someone active that runs and sweats alot? I thought the apple ones were resistant to microbes and could handle resisting sweat etc. any recommendations welcome. Thanks!

The official site stopped shipping the Hermès replicas directly. You need to ask the seller to post directly for you through China Post.

Are you referring to ask Superbuy to do this? If not, who are you asking since the original site is not in English.

There’s a “contact the seller” icon in the app and website where you can message the seller directly.

I communicate with him in Chinese so I don’t know how fluent his English is.

The leather feels good on this one, quite soft and supple. It looks and smells like leather, there's no weird smell on it.

Can any of you link to the specific band from then you got?

It looks like amazon has a couple of sellers they have a replica on prime. I like amazon because guy can return if quality is bad.

I am trying this one out for 12.99 no tax and delivery in two days.

For anyone interested in what the Nike Summit White reflective Sport Loop looks like when light hits it. It is fire.

Hi Boardiesboi, I don’t know if the Hermes replica I got from that Taobao seller is Swift leather. Can you please ask the seller if the hermes brown replica is made of Barenia leather and please ask also the seller if the hermes indigo is made of swift leather. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
