Hi. I'd like to know if there is any case in the market having a strap that I can put on my wrist so that I can hang my universal... this will "free" my hands for holding other stuff.
I guess the one thing Im really disappointed with in the universal is the absence of a strap hole.. Unlike other fones, where theres a tiny hole where you can insert a strap, the universal has none.... It would be handy when calling.. there are a lot of snatchers (you evil people!) out there, taking your phone while answering a call in the street...
Thanks!!!
You will break your wrist, is heavy enough in you pocket let alone swinging around on your wrist, you will over balance and fall over.
No disrespect meant.
Haha.. that made me laugh
I dont think the universal is that heavy... enough to make me lose my balance.
Just in case a case with a strap comes out, please let me know.. Thanks!

You can easily dye it another color: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/accessories/diy-6-fix-stone-purple-band-t2892492

I'm getting used to it. It's a disappointment, but I'm able to pull it off...
I kinda like it. It has a slight purple tint that only seems to show up under florescent lighting. In most lighting, it actually looks like light gray with a little brown tint.
Just got a replacement stone grey due to 5 dead pixels on my grey banded Moto 360. Of course, the replacement has a dead pixel too, right along the edge The new band squeaks like crazy too! It sounds like a $.99 chew toy and feels much cheaper than the first grey leather band.

I exchanged the stone leather band the second I received my m360 - IMO it is ugly. Luckily, I was able to buy a new dark grey band (which I really like) off a generous fellow forum member.

Lol mine squeaks also, and is very stiff. Don't really care for the color ether. But I'm going to order a Ss band once I find one I like. Didn't care for the pebble. Didn't match close enough IMO.
I didn't even know I had ordered a Stone version I thought that was just the name for the Gray one. My main focus was the color of the watch itself thinking that I'll be able to use a bigger variety of bands over the black one. I am disappointed with the color and WOULD BUY A GRAY BAND in a heart beat. On the upside, its kind of neutral looking, I find that it matches a lot of watch faces.
No, it is hideous, far too stiff, was already marred right out of the box, and as others have noted, squeaks like crazy every time it is moved.

It's hideous. I really wish I had gotten the dark gray watch band I had originally ordered (order was lost and I had to wait until the second wave). But for now it'll do I suppose. It does look REALLY purple under the lighting both at home and work. Sunlight it's okay. I guess. Kinda.

Agree. Fugly. No doubt someone at Motorola needs to be fired.
The dark gray band and silver watch look better than black. And black looks better than purple gray and silver. But, I would never purchase the purple gray and silver watch. I have purchased both the dark gray and black watches.
Amazing. Motorola gets the design right with round watch, but kills sales with a purple band. Well, unless some "fashion idiots" actually like purple and purchase purple by the millions. ROFL
There are many design flaws in the Moto 360 so it will never be a huge success. Maybe (or maybe not) Motorola (or someone else) will actually create and sell *Official* bands for the Moto 360 in various colors so consumers can choose their own. If the purple bands kill sales however, we may never see *Official* bands in other colors.
The sooner the purple bands are gone from the market the better. Wake up Morontorola!
i dyed mine black. it is worth wearing out in public now.
Just returned my purple/stone Moto 360 today. I wanted to love it, but just couldn't bring myself to it. I was kicking myself after the dark grey sold out because I had no idea it was a "limited edition launch-only color." Oh well... Now I'm holding out for the SS metal band version for $300. Rumors put that launch date in November. I hope it comes out sooner though.
I think the stone color is absolutely gorgeous and unique looking. I've never seen a leather watch band quite that color. I get a LOT of compliments on it.

So even though I strongly dislike it, I ended up keeping the watch with stone band because it's such a hassle to get the color I actually ordered. And now, I'm regretting that. Why? Because this leather is cheap and nasty, and I'm stuck with it.
I went for a brisk walk earlier. It's a cool day here, but I sweated just slightly -- not enough that I had to wipe my brow, or even close to that, just a very light sweat. The watch band, though, has dyed my wrist purple, and any area of the band that came into contact with sweat has stained and discolored significantly darker. (And that extends around onto the front of the small straps that hold the excess strap down, so it's visible while wearing it.)
This band is terrible, and I strongly recommend avoiding it.

Wow. Shocking. Great post.
Motorola shortcut quality and design of the purple stone gray watch bands to make a quick buck. TOTAL FAIL.
Motorola has really bombed with the stone gray watch band. This will *kill* Moto 360 sales. I've noticed BestBuy has "in stock" on Stone Gray at at least 10 local BestBuy stores (almost all of them). Surely, no one likes them. BestBuy is even obscuring the in stock status on their website - unless you know how to get it. I have some doubts now they might be motivated to hide the fact the stone gray are *not* selling.
I gave a 2 hour Meetup presentation on the Moto 360 last week to a lot of people. I told them to avoid the purple band, e.g. I would never buy the purple band, but *this* (new info) is really damaging to the Moto 360 brand.
I guess its time for Motorola to promote the person responsible and write off the Moto 360 sales of purple stone gray.
Even Google Play refuses to put up current pictures of the Moto 360 with the purple bands. WTF?

I just returned my stone grey back to Best Buy here in West Palm beach for pixels. They had none in stock but did notice the watch they had on display (floor sample) had a very darker grey band, not like the stone grey. It looked beautiful. I really like that dark grey so think I'll wait some more to see if they come back out with that color again.

seriously... there was some dye left on the band that did not get washed off. one guy says he had some bleeding of the dye and all of the sudden moto had a "TOTAL FAIL". the band is ugly i have to say... but there is no difference in it and the other bands except for the color. they are all cheap horween bands. bonded with glue and the bonding is covered up with some dyed plasticy stuff on the sides. just as it has been done ever since i was a kid.
to tell people not to buy something because you don't like the color is a bit foolish don't you think? uninformed much?

We disagree. Your hypothetical dye answer is uninformed, as are comments by non-owners. But, typically, the messenger gets shot by some people wearing blinders. Clearly the light band (purple stone gray) stains badly with sweat, because even my dark gray has sweat marks - but stains are much less visible on darker bands. There are many other Moto 360 design flaws, but stone gray bands are killing sales. Yet, I think Motorola should gift you a watch for your threads on color dye and leather band options.
I suggest everyone informs themselves by checking out their own ZIP Code for BestBuy stock. My ZIP Code in North Carolina has twenty three stores with In Stock - Pick Up Today. The 37075 ZIP in TN has twenty four stores with In Stock - Pick Up Today.
There are only two color choices. The Black is out of stock. The dark Gray is discontinued. The dark gray sold on eBay for at least $10 to $20 more than black, based on my observations. I have not checked purple stone gray prices on eBay yet. Popularity of the Moto 360 will likely determine if additional *official* bands will ever be available for sale - I predict failure here too.
My facts are *informed* information for everyone at my Meetup group and this is why the purple stone gray is TOTAL FAIL.
UPDATE: The people using unofficial steel bands and cracking the backs of their watches are a HUGE problem for Motorola because Motorola has released no alternative *official* bands, and any common (non proprietary) steel watch band will likely break your watch back. Once people figure out how this limits their style choices on the Moto 360 the sales will suffer greatly. I almost returned mine the day I realized backs crack with pebble steel bands - and why.
I'm a sweaty guy and I've ran/worked out with my purple/stone band for the past week... mine hasn't had any issue (other then the normal odor of sweaty leather :cyclops: ).
I'm also a huge watch nut. I've paid more for a leather strap that cost more then the Moto 360 more times then my wife would like to count.. and the stone strap isn't a bad strap (for its price). The stone color is unique, you either like it or you don't... but to judge a watch by its strap is hilarious ("I took mine back because i didn't like the color"... really? )
Watch bands are 'accessories'... Spend $10 on ebay and get a different strap! Or heck.. dye it black like a few people have done.
The more wear-and-tear i put on the stone color the more i like it... It actually looks like stone now!
