Hello guys, has anybody used this website before? https://www.watchbandsmall.com/ It seems they got everything, even theirs sport bands are listed as made with fluoroelastomer instead of silicon.
Got a tip for us?

Is this really a replica 1:1 Apple Watch band website? I’ve heard about it before.
Sadly I can't tell since I haven't ordered from them. I just read about it in a couple of reddit posts This one from some years ago , and then this one form a month ago, I also sent the guy who claimed that bought from them a dm but he hasn't answered yet. I also sent them an email asking them about the Hermes bands and they told me that they could include the logo and everything but I had to let them know first. Although the Hermes bands are a bit of a "problem" for me since I got a natural titanium s10 and as far as I know the lugs don't necessarily match with the Natural ti since the lugs/connectors are silver, like the current hermes s10 or the previous silver stainless steal. If anybody got this combo (natural titanium with silver lugs bands) is the mismatch that noticeable? it would be cool to see some pictures.
They go through the washing machine; zero issues. I put a few in at a time and tuck them into a sock etc
I'm ex-rugby; played from 1988 when I was 10 through to 2000 when I was 22 and retired after breaking and then re-breaking 6 ribs 😂
Thanks for your perspective. I don’t have a natty titanium with straps from that website so I’m passing that.

Oooo nice hack you stuff the straps into a sock and then wash it in the washer? Should do that for my seashell sport loop someday.
Do you air dry the straps any chance? Or use the clothes dryer and put it on low heat setting?
Haha you told me bout that too… when I played flag football for the spring season last year I never got injured but I experienced how intense it can be. My ref had to put my team on a timeout one of the games I played in as when we played defence one of our cornerbacks got her sunglasses broken while guarding a player.
And my teammate had to sit out in the first game after pulling on a hamstring in the first day of practice.
Wash them and then dry them on the line outside or over the radiator if they're on...
Thanks for your advice im going to test that out with my seashell sport loop.
I’m air drying it though.
Which ultimal strap did you wear today?
One of the most popular straps. I always saw this get suggested on my Amazon searches, but it’s restricted 🚫 to 44/45/46/49 mm Apple Watches like nomad Rocky point due to how rugged it is. Yet still strong and easy to clean!
I like how the titanium lugs remind me of a Casio watch.
@danb1979, my friend! 👊 I did a low-temperature cycle in the washing machine to wash my Seashell Sport Loop (curled up in a white sock), and unfortunately, the lugs got a bit beaten up! 🤏 On the corners, the paint peeled off, and I can see the metal edges. It’s no longer discolored, but I’ll have to hand wash it from now on. I’ll also have to touch it up with whiteout!
Ultimal black rugged strap with black hardware on my titanium AWU2 with the black ESR case 👌🏼
They do but they're too small for me. Already tried them and sent them back
IMO the Ultimal ones are much nicer / better made etc
Rly? That’s weird the ultra straps from spigen were meant to fit large wrists and even nomad’s rocky point
They both only just fit (as it too tight on one notch, too loose on the last notch); so the Ultimal ones fit much better
