Here are some photos of the HOCO Classic leather straps. The width of the strap is 24mm. Quality not very good IMO.
I'd agree with that. I bought a Hoco leather strap and promptly binned it, kept the adapters though, those were pretty good.

Many nice options. But does anyone know when any of the officially approved "made for Apple watch" third party bands will be available?got this one delivered today. boy does it smell. mostly got it for the adapter
so how are the hoco leather bands? I've got some black 42mm adapters on the way but no band to plug into them. I'd like to get either a red or blue leather band (to go with my space gray sport). I really want a band that fills up as much of the adapter width as possible (I think that should be 24mm?) because I don't want the watch to slide back and forth in the band. So does anyone know what the width on the hoco bands are for a 42mm watch? And if hoco is no good, any other good recommendations? Thanks!
After months of waiting, my Casetify custom watch band is finally showing a "shipped" status. Their website is showing a delivery date of July 4, which is unlikely as it's a U.S. holiday, but I should be getting it soon nonetheless. I'll be sure to post my results here.
New Band i got for my friend at work for her Space Gray 38mm Sport.
It's a custom authentic Fendi crocodile leather in pink leather. Came with quick release pins which i had to remove. Installed some black adapters from Inkoo seller on ebay. Took over 1 week to arrive from only 40miles away but worth it.
The final look...
Great to hear. I saw a few designs I might be interested in on their site but decided to wait since it sounded like they weren't shipping yet. Very curious what you think and whether the designs will scratch off. Look forward to your review and pics. Thanks. BTW which band/bands did you order?
that band is nice... but i'm waaaaay to anal to wear a silver buckle strap with my SGS watch!
I created my own "Burberry"-looking band after playing and uploading with a bunch of Googled patterns to their site.
Here's what it will look like: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/casetify-watch-bands.1874912/#post-21157150
Ah so you went the customize option. I liked one or two of them from their Collection. As for using the design, I saw on their website that they hold the person who customizes it fully responsible for what they submit, i.e.. if you steal someone else's design you'll be the one held responsible for infringement. I suppose if Customs was looking for knockoffs and saw it they might pull it. If you were using it for personal use probably not a problem but if you were to sell it like on ebay especially in multiple units, I have a feeling ebay would pull it.
I'd agree with that. I bought a Hoco leather strap and promptly binned it, kept the adapters though, those were pretty good.

Overall, not bad so far. The picture on Amazon appears it's "brushed black steel" Not quite the case, Outer links are bushed, the center links are polished. The watch pin removal tool did have a crack in it, I was able to adjust it so I could remove 2 links out of it. VERY SLIGHT paint loss where the links bend, hoping that does not spread. It adds some weight to the watch, that I expected. (So if you're going work out, use the Sports band or something lighter) But its not so heavy that it fails to sit on my Griffin watch stand. That is a non issue. Space gray adapters look great and fit into the watch perfectly hearing the lock "click" - they can also be removed in case you want to use them for another 3rd party band.
Bad lighting sorry. The glossy finish goes all the way around.Why does it look like the gloss just STOPS on the center links in this photo? Is that a weird reflection or something? It looks like the glossy coating is just missing halfway through that link...
Thanks. I would absolutely love if I can finally find the perfect Space Gray tone link. I think in time more online stores could have them especially now the watches are in stores. But yep, there is nothing "perfect" yet I've seen, I'll keep checking though. And as i expected I've become sort of a link addict with this watch. hahaLooks good! I think the fact that it has two tones makes it blend better. It's never going to be a perfect match, whether it's the aluminum or the SS. I have a silver SS band like that on it's way for my aluminum sport and I hope that it's two toned like yours. Thanks for sharing!

They do look good; I can't justify that price though.
