Third Party leather band matching space gray sport?

[joshcls]

Anybody seen one?

and is it just me, or are all the current offerings from third parties really weak?

I think whoever can really nail the leather + space gray al-you-miny-um look is going to make a boat load of money.
Starting with me.

Can't wait until the third party market takes off!

Anyone else looking for this combo?

 

[joshcls]

Yeah, me either...

I think it may be a bit too soon so we have to wait a little before we see a supernova explosion of a third party bands and we all get spoiled for choices.

This is exactly what I want/need. The leather buckle with attachments in the Space grey color I would pay decent money for. I just need a strap for the times I need to look professional. I think given the sports lack of "approved" fancy options, that is probably ripe for third-party vendors.

With that said, the leather loop looks great, I will probably get one, but the $150 just stings a bit.

My OCD can't handle the stainless steel buckle paired with the space gray aluminum watch... believe me, I've tried.

Additionally, I can't justify $150 for a band...

I think it looks pretty nice actually, but I agree that it's a bit pricey.

Biggest thing for me (200mm wrist) is that most of the third party bands don't seem to cover as wide a range of wrist sizes as Apple's bands.

Monowear makes some nice looking bands in most materials. The gray ones are currently only in nylon, but look great. Here's the site:

Do you think the black metal one would fit well with the SG aluminum sport model? Seems like it might....

I'm trying to find a nice brown leather strap, to go with the aluminium, really struggling so far

Looks like it would. I notice it's available with 3 styles of adapters to make sure it matches your watch. They have a 30 day return policy, I believe. But check the site details.

I will probably order from them. But now I am focused on getting the watch.

Yeah, really not impressed with the monowear bands --- they don't really appeal to me. Definitely not the nylon, and the leather seems to have way too much going on.

I like the military look of the olive nylon. Great to wear for off-roading. The leather looks nice, but I just noticed it is suede. Would prefer smooth tanned leather.

I was originally interested in the ss link bands. They are less than 1/4 price of the apple version, and look decently made. But I will probably wait until they get into peoples hands and we see some reviews.

So far they look better made than any other 3rd bands I've seen.

Just not sure if the stainless band will look good with the AL watch. But i guess that all boils down to personal preference. Thanks for sharing the link! Could be very helpful in the end with Apple charging your first born for another band.

Very true! You're welcome.
