Does anyone have any recent good AliExpress sellers?

I used URVOI a couple of times last year with good results however my mum just got the 40mm Series 5 and would like a few straps, when I’ve gone on URVOI now they basically don’t have anything. Looking for a milanese strap and some hook and loop ones.

Thanks

I'm looking to get a new sport loop and I really dislike Apple's current set of colours. I see a lot of people recommending URVOI on AliExpress but they don't seem to sell the Apple style of sport loops anymore. Does anyone know where else I could get a decent quality sport loop in a different colour? Or should I just try shopping the used market?

This one no doubt - its my new cuff from Bucardo. It distributes pressure. Better than pyjamas. I find it great for everything, including sleeping.

Is there a huge difference between Ali express sport loop knockoffs and etsy ones? The etsy ones are more expensive, but I wonder if they're all coming from the same place anyway.

i was just on AliExpress and saw sport loops (2020 spring colors and earlier) in the URVOISZ store. As a test, I put a Coneflower blue one in my cart and it looked like it would let me check out if I proceeded, with an estimated delivery date of 10/31. I have five URVOI sport loops that I bought in 2019 and they were a great buy back then, since I got all five for $15 including shipping. The price and shipping have gone up and I don’t know if the current quality is as good, but it might be worth a try.

I did look at those, but they don't actually seem to be selling the official style od sport loops, they're a different style of band that come as two pieces. They still have pictures of the regular sport loops up but when you click on them they say they're unavailable. Apparently that's a very recent development though.

I don't see any sports loops at the URVOISZ store. This is really distressing. I really liked my Urvoi sports loops! The quality was pretty good, and I could get old colors/designs without a problem. I hope they will come back. Until they do, does anyone have another decent 3rd party sports loop seller that they can recommend?

From what I could see, there are two types of 3rd party braided straps:
1) 5 colors in the 12 numbered sizes.
2) 7 colors (+ black and white) in Small/Medium/Large

I've ordered 1) - hopefully will arrive in a few weeks, but Chinese holidays are coming up so I suspect there will be delays.
