Looks great, Can you tell me how wide your band and the spring adapter is? is it 22mm or 24mm? There doesnt seem to be any play the sides of the band when attached to the spring adapter. That's what I am looking for! A perfect fit. I don't want to put a 22mm in there and have it loose on the adapter, that would drive me nuts. I have a 24mm leather band now I can use. The one from freedomclock on ebay states that it fits 24mm.

I've seen that band and seller mentioned before along with a photo I think. Probably in this thread or the other forum section of Watch photos.
Hoco band. It's really beautiful with the apple watch, but the connector is pretty loose feeling and wobbly in the socket. I don't feel like it's gonna fall out, but I do worry about an ill fitting steel rod deforming the watch case with lots of wear and stress on the area.
I'll still use it mostly though. The fit is excellent on my wrist, and the look is non-stop.

read through the whole thread and still haven't found a red leather band that is high quality... has anyone found one? willing to pay up to 100 bucks for a nice red leather.
So, i was actually referring to the adapter fit into the apple watch socket. It's also true that the lug width is a bit too wide for the band, but that's less of a bother to me because of the comparative value of the apple watch vs this $30 band. Both do contribute to a wobbly fit, though it honestly feels great on the wrist.Hmm. I see what you mean. At first I was thinking it was because it was a metal connector which clearly can't be squeezed like leather to fit the spring pin on if you need more room for the tool to fit in between the band and lug. So I took out my Hadley-Roma metal link bracelet and my band is much closer to the lugs than yours (band is on a Utica guy adapter). My band is a 24mm. I believe I found the model Hoco band you have on ebay -- on there it came mounted on the adapter and assume yours did too. At first I thought maybe your band was a 22mm not a 24mm. Did you measure your band width and the lug width? BTW is your band a brushed stainless? It looks matte in your photo.

What is everyone's recommendation for stainless adaptors (in terms of quality/price)? Quite a few choices on Amazon/eBay.
I bookmarked this page when someone else posted it. Very nice leather bands (more than $100 but they do include the adapters, and it looks like good quality):read through the whole thread and still haven't found a red leather band that is high quality... has anyone found one? willing to pay up to 100 bucks for a nice red leather.
Just got another one of these bands from BandRBands and it really makes the watch pop!
The velcro closure adjusts for a perfect fit, and this nylon material is perfect for summer.
Got this in today. Unbelievably happy with the band.

I responded to your request for high quality red leather strap with what I have. No biggie that you didn't respond, but then I am a bit surprised this Lorica strap has you unbelievably happy.Got this in today. Unbelievably happy with the band.

3rd Party Magnetic Milanese Loop
Don't even bother, get the Real Deal from Apple
I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
The last image is damning for the Cheap Milanese Loop. If you are not careful the loop will slip through and you will drop your watch. I did, luckily I dropped mine over carpet.

Glad I could help. I wasn't too sure at first how the black/silver strap would turn out, but now it has become my go to band.
"Surgery" that made me laugh. Do a cut test at the end of the strap first, then cut it to your preferred length once you are comfortable. I wouldn't try to make a round cut, I don't think it will come out very well. I cut it straight and then cut it at a 45 angle from the sides. It doesn't look perfect up close, but you can't tell from normal viewing distance.
Thanks for taking the time to do those comparison photos. Great closeups. Man that adapter looks like a horrible fit. I have stayed clear of all of the magnetic bands, even Apples, out of fear of the magnets not being strong enough to hold them on during all kinds of situations. Regardless of who you buy them from make sure you get a good fit with a strong magnetic connection.
