I was in a nearby Best Buy Store messing around this past Sunday and saw a black Platinum magnetic watch band.

Does it require any adjustment throughout the day? My $12 version does and it's a little annoying.

The band is very smooth, almost silky-feeling, and the magnet is also smooth (but not 'silky'). I'll try a thin could of something that has some friction to it, maybe a very thin coat of 3M Weather Adhesive or the like.

I like the band well enough but am annoyed at the need to readjust it more than once a day.

Hello guys,
We opened a new online store offering third-party sport bands, nylon bands, milanese loop recently. We are planing to giving away some bands in exchange of honest reviews. Please pm me if you are interested.

I’ve had a leather watch band from FinWatchStraps, handmade in Finland for about a year now and it’s really breaking in well. Very reasonable prices and they ship quickly from Finland.

As I noted in post #10, I have a bunch of Moko sports bands. Unfortunately, Moko seems to have gotten out of the sports band business. I don't see their products on Amazon any more. Any recommendations for sports bands? I'd like to pick up a few colors I don't have. It's really important to me that the band ships with two sizes just as Apple does because I need the smaller size.

This week I bought a tan and hunter brown Dbramante1928 Copenhagen.
Full grain leather. The hunter is an extremely dark brown. I've been wearing the hunter for two days. I haven't used the tan one yet.

I have ordered several bands from Fancy Bands and am very happy with with them. They have good deals and come in a couple of days.

After seeing these color wave loop bands in my Facebook feed a few times, I decided to give them a try. They sell for $30 or three for $60, and they are the same quality as the Apple loop that sells for $100 each. I have a very small wrist so I always worry about sizing. The Solace sizing chart was 100% accurate and these fit perfectly. Highly recommended!

I literally have dozens of third-party bands, none of which are terrible. My advice is to be sure and read reviews before buying one.

I’m stuck on the Tefeca right now.

Tefeca Fortitude Series Adjustable Band for Apple Watch/Apple Watch Ultra https://a.co/d/cvpHZUZ

These are cool — I prefer wide bands too and ordered this in the all-black woven stretchy style for my 45mm watch a while back but it was just too long for me even though the description says it fits wrists 140-225mm. So if you have the 45mm or ultra watch and maybe a 160 mm wrist and above, these would be awesome!
