I think here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Watch-R...47&sr=8-4&keywords=apple+watch+sport+band+red.
I just ordered a red 38mm to be delivered tomorrow. I told myself no more bands as I also just placed another order with Aaron, but had to check the red out for myself.
Would not wear anything else.
Made to Order LV Monogram strap by StrapSmith...

What are people's thoughts on this please... I've heard really good things about MoKo and torn between getting this or one of their sports bands unless anyone can recommend any other alternatives in the UK?

I received my red band today. It is thinner than Apple's sport band thus the fit is a litttle bit looser for me using the same hole I use on my Apple band. There is a slight gap at the end of the adapters. The thing I've noticed most though is the smell. There seems to be some sort of off gassing going on (the smell sort of reminds me of a Sharpie). But for the smell, it is fine. Will post some photos in a moment.
My black mesh loop arrived today from AliExpress.
It's very pretty with no kinks, despite how it looked in the box upon arrival. Looks like the same box most of the loop style bands are arriving in. (It even refers to the strap being leather on the box.)
It will not unravel.
There's a little too much wiggle room on the "slide" side. The band could have been a bit wider. It does look quite feminine, which is ok for me, but may not work for some men or even larger wristed women.
The single magnet is very strong.
I'd give this band a 9/10.

Lol I'm a product reviewer...
I'd love to see if the adapters sit flush with the naked case, but pics came across a bit blurry for me.
I guess that explains the duplicates.
yeah ill be posting those in market place for cheap.
Just to update, the smell is gone now. Also, I probably should mention that there is a very small side seam just from where the product must have been molded.

Received mine from EBay today, like it a lot. Looks fantastic on the SGS, and very comfortable, very strong magnet too.
I like mine as well. Got it on Amazon with Prime delivery. I am sure I paid more than you did, but still very reasonable. Thinner than Apple loop, and magnet slips through stem, unlike Apple's, but it looks great with my black SS! When you take it off, if you don't want the band to slip out of the stem, lock it down top the band right before it comes out.
I type a fair amount and the finish is starting to come of the tip. I think I will cover with clear tape.
