As a muscular Celt, most of these 3rd party bands don't fit my wrists at all, so I am waiting for the stainless steel adapters from Click and I can buy quality XL wrist bands (that are better than Apple's).

That looks great. Can you post links to the band you got (I have small wrists too) as well as the lugs?

I got them from eBay and the band and the lugs came together. If you search for hoco stainless steel apple watch, you'll find it. However I didn't really like the seller's attitude.

I did find a ton of them but the only USA settler I see is sold out of the 38mm. What do you think of the adapters? Do they fit well? Does the stainless steel match? What do you think of the quality of the actual band? TIA

I bought them from a UK seller. The adapters match with the ss watch but they do wobble a bit more than Apple lugs, nothing bad though.
The band itself is great. It's a nice matt finish and the clasp works smooth and decent as well.

Quick question for everyone who bought the AWS... How many half bands did yours come with? I just got my kiddos watch and it only came with the one band already in the watch and nothing else. SG 38mm.
Anyone? Please help!

New band and "lug" adapters. Not perfect but it'll do until more pro/legit adapters are released.

Idk if anyone has posted this yet but, it seems as if Apple has the bands available in stores now.

This is one of the nicest bands I've seen so far. I really want one for my 38mm SGS.

I got my adapter from eBay and finally had my SS link band customized (literally had to be cut because all the men's size 22 MM bands couldn't be sized down with link removal to fit my wrist)- total cost 76 bucks for all....I have the 38 MM SS. I have a really tiny wrist - measure 140 MM. The Jewlery store (http://www.watkinsjewlers.net) were awesome to work with - they are fans of Apple themselves.
