These look great! I'll have to take a look. I've never had good luck with the 3rd party bands but recently got some "EXCHAR" from amazon that mimic the Nike bands (like these do) and like them a lot. I got the white/black and the navy/light blue ones. I do want the rainbow looking ones for extra color so these might do the trick.

Are they really thin and flimsy?

I agree, I love my Nomad bands. That is a great looking combo you have there.
they’re top quality. the classic brown i’ve had forever. i wanted a black and treated myself to the shell cordovan. so worth it. haven’t found anyone do leather like nomad

This Crested band I ordered in January and I had to pry a refund from them for sending it to wrong address finally turned up in the back rooms of the post office after six months of floating around after I tried to intercept it. I like the band but would never order from Crested again after my two awful experiences with them:

I've always wanted a knock off the original close the rings band. The black one, with the stripes on the strap holder. Never did find one though.

I got this all-in-one silicone band on Amazon for the princely sum of $3.95 (free shipping too!)
It offers good protection while I'm at work, it's comfortable, and just a tad fugly. The crown is accessible but well protected. The power switch next to the crown can be easily pushed right through the silicone. And the watch charges with the band on because of how the back is cut out. The watch is held in by friction, relying on the curved sides to hold it in place. I certainly would not trust it for any heavy duty activity but for what I'm doing (driving trucks, moving trailers to/from the loading dock, etc, it's great. Standard silicone band holes & post for strap closure. I'll get sick of it in a few days and stick it in my nightstand drawer, but for now it's doing it's job.

That's definitely a "For $4 why not?" band but one that resides nicely in the nightstand for an emergency.

I was excited to pickup these knockoffs for about $21 each. The teal blue is my favorite and the fit/finish is very good. But the olive/black fit like crap. I believe what happened was they sent the wrong size. the teal is for 44/42 watches but the Olive/Black looks to be for 38/40. This picture seems to support my supposition.

Greetings!
It's been a while since I was here....I have been using the original Stainless Steel AW link band since Series 0. I have finally after 5 years found a beautiful link band that is two toned https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081N19GWR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was so impressed with it I actually gave my sis-in-law and mother one as a gift. I'm now going to upgrade to the gold SS Series 6 since I now have a nice band to match it.

Cheers,
Bobbie
