Does anyone know of a decent quality black leather strap for a 42mm Gold Apple Watch Sport? Or would you recommend just buying the official one? Thanks
Problem with leather strap is that the lugs are usually stainless steel so won't match the matte gold. The leather loops will probably look better.
 
Received my Hoco band on Saturday. So far I love it. Matches perfectly with my Space Gray sport watch. Feels great!

Looking for a third-party Sport Band in the midnight blue, fog, or turqoise (Tiffany Blue) for my wife? Any one know where they can be found?

Don't know if this is close: Moko on Amazon

On a side note, all the Moko bands are available in 38mm now, and now purple is available along with orange and indigo blue!

Looks good for the wife!

However, that indigo definitely scares me as it looks purple! Thanks for your help though

It looks purple, because I typed, "purple is available along with orange and indigo blue!"
I posted the indigo blue before, perhaps in another thread (it gets confusing sometimes ). Here is the indigo blue

And orange

Looking good! I may try out that Tiffany Blue for my wife and wait for best buy to get the Apple Midnight Blue Sport or Fog colored (Gray) sport bands as I have some rewards to use and a $5 off coupon.
 
My wife and I have ordered a bunch of these. Love the color options and price! She just got the coral last night and is really happy with it. I'll post pics of the other colors as we get them.

They're as close as you can get. I got a black and a white band from them in July and I've been very happy with both of them. I'm so glad they're adding all these colors now! I'm sure they'll be adding even more colors like the ones that Apple just announced.

Do they feel of the same quality as Apple's sport bands? They look great

Just to add, they come with 3 bands like apple (s/m and m/l), are slightly thinner, slightly softer, and no coating like Apple's, which means no peeling coat but can attract more dust than Apple OEM. But, for $17 shipped, you can buy almost 3 bands for price of one Apple OEM. They are worth it.

I am assuming we are talking about the Moko ones and the pics posted?

That's a hell of a deal!

Perfect summary of the Moko bands. :)

Do you find the magnets have a strong hold? Has the magnet ever lost hold?

The magnets are strong. With the way that it fits for me, there is no way that it will disconnect. That could be different with someone that has bigger wrists considering that there won't be as much of a connection with the magnets. My wrists are 170mm.
 
Anyone know or have the Leather bands that look similar to Apple's from Amazon sellers?

I know a lot of people say that Happy Cell ones are way too long and overlap if you wear a S/M in apple's bands.

I'm looking at this one from JETech. Anyone have this one and care to share how it fits and its quality?

What is your wrist size? Here is something that I posted a few pages ago regarding the happy cell LL...

"I would say that this band would fit a 150mm to 200mm wrist. You might be able to go a little lower and higher, but that's my suggestion. My wifes wrist is 150mm and that's where the band will start to overlap the watch. For the high measurement I went up my forearm to measure it and it seems like 200mm is about as far as you can go where the magnets will still hold strong. As a reference my wrists are 170mm."

Thanks, I'll check it out. That was my main concern with the 3rd party magnet held bands.
