Anyone looking for a Milanese loop for their space grey watch. I got this one in today:

https://www.amazon.com/HONEJEEN-Compatible-Stainless-Adjustable-Replacement/dp/B07M7W2CHQ

It’s the best matching one I have found so far. The finish is beadblasted so It’s matte but the colour isn’t an exact match. Slightly bluer tint to it.

The silver one should match the silver aluminium Watch even better.

It does come with a case but it’s not for the 4. Still a good price even if the case isn’t going to be used.

Okay… I got this out in the sun and it’s way too blue. So scratch what I said. The search continues…

For those of you that have purchased a band from chargerstore on eBay, what did you do for tracking info?

Does it still have the problem the magnet catches metal on the outside of the band? Apple's doesn't, only sticks to the band itself.

Yeah. They seem to all do it. Apple must have some kind of shielding going on.

I returned it anyway. It was too blue in its hue.

It seems like I missed some colors for sport bands on URVOI. On the page, they show colors reference but most cannot be bought.. Any ideas where I can find them ?

Hey guys I cant seem to get the taobao website to work for me, has anyone had this issue? I can't click what style I want and I can't click "buy now" or add to cart. Do you have to be signed in for this stuff to work? Thanks. Trying to buy the link bracelet.

Ordered these off eBay today. Also ordered a pink sand sport loop from them, for which they used the original Apple photo... we shall see. Paid au $50 for all of them so not expecting too much. Will update when they arrive

Thanks, I had to make an account to be able to see that.

Has anyone found any 42/44mm Hermes single tour bands that are the proper width but still cheap? Urvoi is 15ish which is great but it looks like the extra space in the lug would drive me crazy (someone posted a pic on page 170). The taobao guy has em for almost 100 which is quite expensive for a watch band imo.

Im ok with Urvoi material quality but just not the lug width issues.

Do the Urvoi sport loops have this issue or are they made with the proper width now?

Has anybody found a good source for Apple-esque nylon bands like they used to make? Not sure why they stopped... those bands were so comfortable, and stylish, IMO.

Anyone familiar with these "HILIMNY" bands on Amazon? They look dead on to Apple's own product in the review photos, and they're pretty inexpensive, so I'm thinking of picking one out.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KD99VBD

Also has anyone else found a decent substitute to the "Woven Nylon" bands that apple used to sell? (Nylon w/ buckle)

Man I have "invested" so much time going through this thread. Fun.

Has anyone tried Ricco bands? I've been getting Facebook ads for them, and they look nice, but can't find any YouTube videos of them, or any of the usual stuff.

E.g., this one.

Does anyone have any recommendations for some thicker Apple watch bands? By thicker I mean wider bands (preferably leather). I find the Apple leather bands to be too thin as I have large wrists and prefer a wider band. Anyone have any recommendations? I’d prefer leather but it doesn’t have to be. For Apple Watch Series 4.
