Wow, you guys have some great taste in bands, great pics all, keep em coming. It's so great how versatile the Apple Watch is as far as switching bands.

I wish you guys would say which bands you don't like (or do like). Was mine one of the "ruin the looks of the watch" bands in you opinion?

I just got my band today.

Nice! 24mm?

I got one of those, but a 22 mm. Slides back and forth too easily. 24 would be better.

Those shark bands look great, but boy are they heavy.

Nope. Doesn't matter what other people think anyway. If you like it, it is great!

I like those bands, but heavy

Yes I went for the 24mm. I'm use to wearing a heavy watch , but this band is not that heavy to me. It's lighter than some of my link band watches.

Is it just me, or is there some really hideous bands out there so far?

It's not just you. Not so much the bands, in my opinion, as the adapters. Most of the ones I've seen look pretty bad. Sloppy and cheap looking. I think a little patience will go a long way. I'm waiting.

It look nice. Not as nice as Apple's Milanese band. But it looks good. My 'extra' Apple band is the Milanese, but if I had picked something different and wanted a less expensive Milanese band I'd have no problem with this one.

I almost bought that but it looks the band can slide back and forth a bit on the adapter 'bar,' which would drive me crazy! Can you check to see if it does that?

Yeah. That's the only thing I'm scared of. It's a 22mm band. If it does, it's going back and I'm getting a 24mm version. That size should not slide around. I've got options!

On second thought, I should just order a 24mm and see. Then return one of them.

So I finally got my Aerb adapter, it was FREE..I told him i wanted to do a review on his product if they can send me a sample...7 days later I got the adapter. I got a 10.00 watch band from Amazon.com and i got this combo!

The only thing I HATE is that the watch band is slimmer than the lug..so its exposed. I am waiting to see what aftermarket leather loops become available. but this will do for now. I had a pink sport band on it.

I also backed Click, so once that comes in I will feel better, even though they are no issues with the AERB adapter I would feel better with the "made for apple" stamp on it..

Pretty sure we have the same band, my adapter fits it perfectly though and the band doesn't move around on it at all! Could've sworn I order the AERB adapter too! (More pictures two posts above)

Anyone seen these that look like the Lunatik Epik? Currently Lunatik doesn't make one for 38mm Watch but this eBay stores seem to be popping them left and right. Anyone?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-Aluminu...Bands-for-Apple-Watch-38mm-42mm-/271869867499

I also like this one that is like the Leather Loop, except I haven't seen anyone with one yet, but I love the white and the red one. Idk if I'll buy one yet. I'll let you all know later if I do.

I'm really digging these bands as well:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BASEUS-Maca...d-Strap-for-Apple-Watch-38-42mm-/281694553598

I also ordered one of these Bumpers in 38mm for my watch since it seems like Actionproof is only making them for 42mm. Mine shipped last week so it should be here in a couple of weeks. I know this is a Band thread but I thought to share anyway.

These steel bands that are plated look good too.

Just order this Hoco band. Seller says they have stock in U.S., so quick shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321759380448?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=510667042703&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

DOH! I definetly ordered the 22mm which would explain the shortness of it...Oh well..im almost used to it now, but for 10.00 Its really not a big thing..

what I find a bit odd is that the leather loop comes with adapters but the image provided shows it sliding in like the official one by apple so which is it
