My red and orange came too. Feel very thin and cheap compared to the Apple bands. But for $8, I'm not going to complain. I haven't had a chance to put either on the watch yet with the adapter I have.
Got a tip for us?

If you pre-order from get-click.com you're charged immediately.
You might not have been charged if you'd ordered through kickstarter but as far as I can see that's no longer an option -- all the links I can find now take you straight to get-click.com.
Please post pics when you get the chance! I might not get my adapter or my watch for another two weeks so they're just sitting on my desk.
Hi,
I ordered some Hoco stuff a little while ago. How long did it take for yours to arrive ?
PS - Where are you, please ?
Thanks
Sent Monowear a picture and they offered to replace it after I sent the band back to them, I went off on them, and they're now cross shipping me a new replacement band and a leather band.
They said they sent my pic straight to the production line.
Nice
Great, now you get two bands to break and potentially damage your watch. Those Apple bands look better all the time.
Can anyone point me to a good third party red (preferably leather, but looking for something inexpensive) band for a 42mm Apple Watch Sport SG?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I just ordered from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/28168622777...49&var=580691280115&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Adapter included...whether it's good remains to be seen!

Just received my $10 metal link band from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKYCAP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Super fast shipping...Sadly, I have teeny wrists and it's still loose after removing all removable links
Aside from that, I'm impressed by the quality for just $10. The 24mm was just a hair too wide for my adapters, but you can make it work...get the 22mm to be safe, or maybe my adapters were just a hair too narrow, who knows! I have Michael Kors bands that are far heavier and more solid (they won't work with the adapter though) but for $10? Not a bad deal at all.
Here's a 22mm in black (reviews say it's more gunmetal gray) for under $10: http://www.amazon.com/Ritche-Stainl...sim_241_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=11H0E51JQR4KN6AS8CAG

That eBay seller is the one some of us had issues with. Some people get their band/adapter in a few days. Then there are those of us that wait 1-2 weeks, hear nothing, and ask for refunds. The seller claims "logistics issues" when unable to deliver product.
Looks great!
Looking to get a couple nylon bands to replace my sport band. Can you like where you got yours and the adapter?
Have trouble finding a SG or even black for my 42mm SG Sport.
No, all good. One of the screws on one or the adapters came off and I realised the strap was just hanging off on one part of one side.
I'm going to just buy a classic buckle and stick with it until click comes.

Can someone answer a quick question please. Ive gone through all 26 pages, but have yet to see one post that answers the question.
Many are stating to get a 22mm or 24mm strap for their watch, but they don't mention which size watch they have.
So, for the 38mm watch, what band size should I be looking for? Is it the 22mm that fits the 38mm watch or is the 22mm for the 42mm watch only?
Thanks

I have a 38mm and bought a 24mm metal band...the issue I had was that the adapter I bought barely fit the band (the band was barely too wide) but I made it work. A 22mm would be a safe bet for a 38mm, I think. The Click adapter is being made for 22mm bands, for both the 38 and 42mm it seems.

Ive only heard about 22mm straps for the Applewatch... Don't know if there is a strap width difference between the two watch sizes.. Perhaps some expert insight would help.
Ok thanks. I was under the assumption that the 38mm and 42mm watches used different size bands since the 42mm watch is wider than the 38mm.

Yes. Not sure if it comes with a screwdriver. Some newer adapters are now phillips. This is probably torx.
Search for Apple Watch Band Adapter and you will find tons on Ebay and Amazon. Depending upon where you live, if you get it from China, could take 2-3 weeks. You can narrow it down to your country to get it faster.
Be careful! The screws are tiny and easy to drop and they disappear.
I bought the 42mm stone leather band and I think I might keep it. Doesn't feel flimsy or cheap, has a nice texture to it. I have the Apple classic buckle and I also ordered the black JETech just to compare, but I have yet to try it on.
