I just wanted to share some pics of pebble steel band on my moto 360. Would like a band that doesn't feel as cheap but this works and looks good. Got this from a old Pebble Steel.
That looks great. How does the band feel.

Band feels very cheap. Not like my Strap code bands. This is why pebble will fail very soon. They make cheap stuff.
I guess I'll wait to see what Moto 360 bands look like then. At their price I would assume it will be much better.

They better be high quality like strap codes are. Especially for $80
I can posts some shots of this too.

I have the Pebble Black. Installation was a breeze but removing the links to get it to fit was the time waster.. Also, theres complaints of this this band being cheap and pinching.. It doesnt pinch, but what it does do is rip out all the damn hair on your wrists!!!
Its cheap. I don't have a issue with pinch at all.
I have the black one as well. I guess you shouldn't expect much for 20 dollars. It does look nice, but you're right it feels cheap. I have a silver fossil band, and the clasp feels much more sturdy. Also, after having it for two days there's already scratches on the bottom of the clasp.The links were a pain in the ass the first time, but after replacing them a couple of times to get the best fit it got much easier. I don't know if I want to get the official moto one. For 80 dollars I feel like it should look a lot better than it does. There's a couple of hadley-roma metal bands that are around 40 but they don't have the "gucci-notch" style so they won't fit.
Motorola 360 with Pebble Steel Black Band
Here is the Moto 360 with a black Pebble steel band.
The band does look good, but realize this is no PVD coated band. Its only 20 bucks so don't expect the finish to last as long as a PVD coated one. But honestly, I don't mind. this band is really to hold me over until I can get the official metal one.
If you look carefully (In person) there are some very small nicks on the metal band and it shows the metal underneath. Now it isn't obvious at all, and no one besides yourself will be close enough to notice it. All in all, a good buy for 20 bucks.
If anyone has any question or they want more pictures from different angles, go ahead and ask.
Also note that not any 22mm band will work. The band needs a notch in the center of it.
P.S: Can the moderators move this thread to the accessories section? This doesn't really belong here.

Yeah, exactly...lame. Oh well...I'm just happy to finally get this. So far, my pebble kickstarter has held up great for a year and half. I'm big on notifications and stepping away from my phone happens a lot, especially right now. I got an email stating you replied back while I was downstairs, lol. I can't wait to finally wear something that doesn't really look so simple/Walmart-like (the cheap watches you buy in the jewelery section).

I was @ local Best buy just to see what has been getting on stock and surprisingly enough I found this case and another Belkin which was leather but thicker.
I thought I should share some photos in case anyone is interested.
Price $49.99 before tax.
Material and fabrication is not what exactly I am looking for, but you don't know until you get it.
Here are some photos for you guys...

I have the same case. It's okay. No real issues. Just didn't want to leave my toy bare with no protection. Might switch it out sometime in the future.

I thought I mentioned or maybe not. There were both there but leather was kind of thicker since it has more room. It looks nice and price is higher...
What I don't like about this Belkin case is that there is no magnet or velcro to keep it closed.

I really second that. It becomes very flimsy when you use it for a while. $50 for this case? I would rather buy two of the leather ones on eBay.

It has an elastic strap on the inside of the front cover that you put around the back of the device to keep it secure. So yes, it does have something that keeps it closed!

correct, but that is very old-school.
All,
I reviewed both Cases from belkin. I agree with the comments on the board. But there isnt much out there. Check out my review on the more expensive case from belkin. Its not worth the money. Doesnt seem to fit well I looked at two cases from best buy both had the same issues. And it adds too much bulk to the device. I bought a thin device and want a case that compliments it. Not one that adds significant thickness

I just got my ZenWatch and the first thing I noticed was the powerful smell coming from the watchstrap. I know it's genuine leather - but wow...
I've never liked leather watchstraps, so I was planning on getting a replacement anyway... but still...
so any 22mm watch strap will work with this watch?
Yup....
After some careful consideration I decided to keep my watch. The couple things that I don't like about it could easily be fixed with a software update, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
I just picked up this black leather w/ white stitching and brushed stainless steel clasp today. I think it's pretty sharp looking. Walmart $14, for anyone whose interested

I've had the watch for 4 days now, and the clasp on the original band has popped open 3 times when I brushed up against something at just the right angle. Twice while undoing my seat belt the clasp touched the side of the seat back, and once my wife and I just happened to reach for something at the same time and her hand touched the clasp. If it hadn't happened I wouldn't have bothered looking for a replacement band, but I'm kinda glad it did. I prefer the way this looks MUCH better than the drab brown of the original. And, it's a physical impossibility for this buckle to accidentally pop open through normal use

Did you remove the "protective" plastic off of the clasp pieces? I didn't even notice them until the clasp started popping open. I removed them and haven't had a problem since.

Thanks for the pics. I'm not a fan of that particular clasp type but the look is a definite big improvement over the std brown strap. If I'm catching it right, the band and watch body don't quite match (the bands a little too silver/chrome [sometimes called polished] to the watch body's more "brushed silver" look, yes? or is it just the pictures?)
Asking because I'm looking for a similar type replacement and I'd want to avoid that (I think that would grind on my OCD/ADD if it's noticable)

As I asked Bludevilx - the more silver (polished) parts don't seem like they'll match the watch body very closely. But on that band it looks like a mix of polished and brushed. How well does the brushed match the body? Looks like it might be very close. If you could, would you post some pics of the band on the watch?
Thank you.

If you look at the edge of the watch you'll see that the gold is sandwiched between 2 polished sides. The brush is very similar. I can't really tell a difference.
I stopped by my local jewelry repair shop in the mall and picked up this lovely Kevlar band and I couldn't be happier, also got to keep the clasp FTW If anybody is interested it's also a Hadley-Roma, they seem to make ALL the watchbands.

hello, i was just looking into the smartwatch 3 and i think the steel one looks great. the black one however, is right now almost half the price (net quite but not too far off) and i was thinking, could i get the black one then at a later date but the nice steel strap and holder for it?
i mean as much as i like how it looks in steel i dont think its worth all that much extra but im hesitant to get the black rubbery strap as in the past my skin hasnt always loved that kind of watch straps.
(also sorry if ive put this in the wrong place, wasnt sure if here or accessories)
Yeah the bands are interchangeable, not that Sony has bothered to make strap available to buy yet...........................
ah thats what i hoped. one now ordered. yey, thanks and fingers crossed sony decide to make it available at a sensible price for a strap.
same here waiting for accessories especially for the black steel band
Sony announced the availability of the new straps in spring !
http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-smartwatch-3-stainless-steel-strap-launching-worldwide-week
well thats good news, yey. not like my watch has actually shown up. curse you amazon.
I'm a bit miffed that I had to buy the Smartwatch 3 twice. (I got the black rubber on launch thinking I could just buy the metal strap.) Just like the Smartwatch 2 it looks like you will never be able to. My metal Smartwatch 3 arrived this morning but its been a costly exercise being an early adopter. It works out ill have lost £80 once I've sold the black rubber one. Id have kept them both and used the black for running and the metal for best but you cant pair both at once which is a real shame.
Waiting for the official lime sports strap!
It still works out way cheaper than buying a Tag I suppose lol!!

I haven't looked for one or even looked at the instructions as it was a perfect fit. I'll check the box in the morning and post on here my findings.
Hi. Just checked the box. You get 2 extra links and a USB charger cable. No tools for changing the links I'm afraid.

Hi guys,
I don't like to original black leather one I got with the watch. What kind of bands to I need to replace it? 18MM or 22MM?
If you have any favourite, please share them too.

You need an 18MM band. Amazon has a bunch of them. I actually replaced mine with a black rubber band and like it, although I wish it was a 22mm band since 18 looks a little thin.
You should be able to get a 22 mm one with 18 mm lugs.

They are harder to find than you might think.
We need to get a thread with links going.
There are some that are adjustable, 22 mm wide but the ends squeeze in to accommodate 18 mm. The downside is that they scratch the inside of the lugs.
For soft material, you can always try to cut down the end.
Don't forget you will need 18mm spring bars since most bands don't support quick release, and ones that may come with a 22 mm band likely won't work.

Is there any disadvantage to scratching the inside of lugs? I've seen several of these adjustable 18-22 bands. I was thinking of giving one a try. I have slim wrists so the 18mm width overall might actually fit me better. But I wouldn't try if scratching the lugs meant potential damage and/or the band popping off while I wear it
Guys please send a link to a band if you find a suitable one. thanks!
I got this made in Italy band (ASIN: B00FA5R31Y) from Amazon. It's high quality band. However it's still a bit loose even though it has been resized to the smallest position. I have to wear it about half inch above the wrist bone. Time to time I have to slide it up to have tighter fit. For reference, my wrist is 5.5in circumferenence right above the wrist bone..
I still have the original Milanese band. PM if you are interested in buying it. It's like new since I change the band right after I got my watch.
I just got a tec.one 18" band on ebay for just under $8 shipped. It's black nylon. Dirt cheap, but doesn't look too bad. It's a good fit, and much lighter and more sporty. Anyway, I saw more of them in a coupe of different colors, so they should work pretty well. Sorry for the low light pics.

I normally get bands custom made from a few people and from etsy as well; they do custom orders as well, depending on the seller. My current fav is from my great friend Patrik from Cloverstraps.com. He has made bands for all of my smartwatches starting from the LG G Watch. My current one being 18mm is all his style and color and leather. I had zero say because I told him to go do whatever he wanted lol. Normally that is NOT the case; he is very detailed and the quality is one of the best and that is why I keep going back to him lol.

I got this 22mm band on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TR2DX8I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I cut the far links on each end of the band with wire snips, and it fits perfectly.

Thanks but which one? The first one is a ball face and the second one is an Angelo Del Mar face, both done in WatchMaker app. There's a treasure trove in the g+ community there where I do a bit of dimming. [emoji3] [emoji4]

I like the ball face. Do I need to have the watchmaker app installed to use it? Is the one that cost 3.99 in the play store? I'm new to Android wear. Any way you can share the ball face?
Thanks

I saw a bunch of nice looking Hadley-Roma rubber straps that would probably look perfect on the Huatch. I haven't tried them yet, but the 18mm ones should fit:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18mm-Hadley...132641?hash=item4d26c824e1:g:7OEAAOxy4t1ShqQ~
Would you guys recommend any specific Stainless Steel Link Band? The official one by Huawei looks nice, but is too expensive. Quick-release pins would be very nice as well.
Thanks a lot!
hey,
This one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...acelet-Tool-for-Huawei-Watch/32563705341.html
It has it all for half the price of the official one from Huawei.
Thanks! Looks very nice.
It uses a 18mm band though if you ordering that one.
Hum, you're right. The website claims the band is 22 mm thick. It's supposed to be 18 mm, right? But most of the reviews are positive (and include photos), so I guess the band fits well.
I also found this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Butterfly-Buckle-YESOO-Packaging/dp/B0178GKU44/
Looks good as well.

Got the watch last week myself so been shopping around as well.
I've seen that Yesoo and a brand called Hoco (bad spelling on both) on both Wish and Aliexpress as well as Amazon but the overseas total cost is a lot less but takes forever. Just depends how bad you want it I guess. Let me know if you find any other deals.
I forgot your original link was from Ali, so I guess your looking there too
I was checking out the milanese loop knock offs as well:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWWBE/ref=nav_timeline_asin?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it's a 22mm band that is 18mm at the lugs. look at a picture of the stock band and you can see it gets skinnier right at the end
I ended up buying this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Butterfly-Buckle-YESOO-Packaging/dp/B0178GKU44/
I really like it! The size is perfect, it comes with built-in quick-release pins, extra pins and a watch link remover tool.
Bought huawei stainless steel with leather strap for $280 a week ago.
Got a stainless steel 20mm band with 18mm lugs and butterfly clasp for Just 10$

Honestly all the bands being sold (like the ones in this thread) are pretty much exactly the same from what I have seen. I have one of the many steel link bands that everyone has been posting.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EEDX3MU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like mine, though I did do a bit of filing at the lug ends since they were a bit sharp and just a hair too thick making inserting the band a bit hard. It has the quick pins and securely fits and snaps close well. Do be careful about the pins they can slide out as with most of the metal bands out there. I also just bought these and awaiting delivery

and
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NI5L-Silicone-Rubber-Smart-Wrist-Watch-Band-Bracelet-Strap-For-Huawei-Talkband-B3/32701080350.html
Not sure about the rubber one since it was made for the Talkband and I see varying lug sizes (16 or 18mm), but for $4 bucks why not.
I also have these other bands if you are curious about any of them:

Thank you for the information and your advice. I was mainly interested in the stainless link bands so I went ahead and purchased the AliExpress one.
I can NOT recommend the eBay watchband mentioned by Panzer500. It cost me broken glass on the watch.
The ratchet that closes the watchband is not stainless steel, I suspect it is just cast aluminimum without necessary precision that would be possible if it was made of machined steel. It does not fit firmly in the hole provided so it can open very easily. It came loose today and I have broken my watch glass.

When you closed the clasp did you make sure that it was actually closed on one of the indents of the band because 5 days straight wearing it and never once was it loose or came undone.
About 2 months ago I bought one from Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...acement-For-Huawei-Watch-Hot/32636270014.html).
I'm wearing it every day for 2 months without any issue. It is quite heavy (it feels a bit heavier than the original one). But never became opened by accident. On the contrary: I find it sometimes a bit hard to open the clasp.
And after 2 months is still looks great, and I do think this is actually quite good quality stainless steel. I'm actually amazed by the price (especially considering the quality, and my previous watchband from a local market for 15€ which was a lot worse than this one).

Yes. After it came loose once I have always closed it carefully and pulled on the band to see if it holds. Next morning the watch fell to the floor.

The cool thing I like about the Magnetic Milanese is that when you aren't wearing it, the magnetic and flexibility allow you to create a triangle "stand". So when it is on your desk, it is elevated and facing you.
The downfall is that it loosens up during the day, but it is nice that you can finely tune the watch tightness depending on your situation. When I am out and about, I like it to be semi loose. However if I am working, I can tighten it up.

The big downfall is that I think it looks kinda feminine. I like the big lugs myself.
