Do you plan to buy a lot of bands for your Watch?

[Lord Killington]

Ok I ordered the band again and this time I am not cancelling it

Delivery Friday and I can return it to the store if I hate it

Sounds like something I would do. I originally bought an iPhone 6, then sold it and got a 6 plus. Then I bought a watch sport, then had sold it and got a steel. I'm now in the process of having 6 different straps and changing them out all the time. I drive my GF insane I'm sure Just so you know you are not alone in your indecisiveness!

I have one for my 38mm, not convinced it's actually leather. It's fits well and the magnet is strong. Apart from the questionable material it's good.

That's not an Apple band. The Leather Loop is only made in 42mm


I did however get mine today... It is super comfy. Same level of adjustablity as the ML but way more comfortable on the wrist.

So the sport band will be for the gym, the LL for day to day and the ML for special fancy occasions

It's from eBay
Luxury Genuine Leather Loop Magnetic Closure 38/42MM Strap Band For Apple Watch | eBay
I've been wearing it for a couple of days and it's really comfy. Seller assures me it is actually leather!

I bought one that is similar but got shipped from China. Here is the link to that along with the pics.

Bands, Bands, Bands..........

My SS Link on 38mm sports watch. Oittm on Amazon Prime, $46 which included the adapters and link removal tool. Received it and was made by HOCO, a known brand, and very nicely packaged. Nearly as good as Apple's

Been struggling getting third party bands. Seems I have large wrists (190-195 mm, the biggest band I can find are 205, for any watch) and the Monowear Nylon one was just to short.

This 3 rd party just fits perfectly after taking out two links. Actually nearly perfect fit for me, more than the sports band, where I was between the 4-5 hole on the large band.

Very nice looking and finished in a brushed grey that matches the sport space grey well.

Happy to have it. What do you think?

I am no longer supporting this band. I have removed it a couple of times and the last time I removed it, it started to stick when I tried to remove it. I figured there was dirt or something that was inside so I cleaned out the channel and tried to reinsert it again. Seemed to go in smooth so, i left it alone for a few days. Then today, i tried to remove it to change out the band and it was jammed inside. Took me about 45 minutes to get it off.

That's a shame. Guess they cut a few corners to keep the price low.

In case you want to the see the video which demonstrates the attempt to remove the band, I have it on youtube. The seller really does not understand English very well and wants pictures but, I do not know how to send pictures illustrating the effect so, i generated a video. I guess the next step is to contact Ebay and have them get involved. Not sure, I will be dealing with China again to buy a band.

I think the problem is that these bands do not fit snugly and leave small gaps. While the gaps do not bother me, they might be trapping dust and dirt and therefore jamming the band into the connector.

I just ordered 3rd party "Leather Loop" -band, let's see how it stands out.

I finally have my permanent band

Is that the official ?379  one? They look great but a little too rich for my blood.

Yes I tried a bunch of third party ones and in the end the real  one is the best.
