Leather band is not so great for using in the gym. Any way to treat it in the meantime?
From what I've read in the recent past Motorola will release the metal band in Nov sometime... At least that's when Verizon is shipping them out. You can use most 22mm bands there's a thread with a lot of info.

Actually you CAN'T use most 22mm metal bands. Theres a short list of metal bands that won't damage your watch and you will most likely have to grind down the plastic tabs on the body of the watch.
Read through this thread for the straight info...

Actually starting from yesterday you can do a pledge at Kickstarter and 'book' a Steelconnect adapter that does exactly the job.
If things go well like with the Pebble adapter you might get it by February 2015.

By then the official metal band would be available for a few months already.
Sure, but you are missing the fact Motorola is not going to release the cool looking band we have seen at beginning.
It is now like a bad looking version of the Pebble Steel band.
I think it was posted also here in forums.

I would put money on Motorola never actually releasing a metal strap at all. Wait and see, I guess.

They've already been shown to be sold by Verizon in November. I would assume their metal bands will be made available around the same time.

And Verizon clearly jumped the gun, because they've since pulled the links. Like I said, let's wait and see. I won't say I told you so if you don't.
Hopefully this is a sign we are closer to a release date

How do you know that ? is it said somewhere in charts ?
Well its been said over and over the lte version will be slightly thicker. I think his conclusion that the gsm version will be slightly thinner is valid. And that has been the case mostly for lte and gsm variants of the same phone.

GSM Galaxy Nexus will be sold in Canada, so that might be a cheaper place to order accessories to fit GSM models than from UK and the rest of Europe...

But I want a AGF Ballistic case like they had for the SG2 IMO it's the Best
Soon someone will put up a youtube of the 2 and compare where everything sits
Getting giddy of the thought of an LTE-powered Galaxy Nexus? Well, Google, has just unveiled a full 360-degree view of the Verizon-bound smartphone, and it's packing a bigger caboose. Around 0.6mm thicker than the HSPA+ version available now in the UK, the 4G-stuffed version loses, at least visually, some of its curved charm and the chin's become more prominent too. Fortunately, as the tech specs confirm, the slightly bigger body does cram in an extra 100mAh of battery juice, presumably to feed that LTE radio. Will it feel any different in the hand? It looks like we'll have to wait until Verizon decides to furnish us with one -- whenever that is.

Just what it says on the tin there. I have a Qi charger that I used with my Nexus 5 no problem, but it's not registering the G3. Is it temperamental with which ones it accepts, is there a setting I need, or what?
Not sure about the T-Mobile model, but I am pretty sure you need to buy a separate back cover that supports wireless charging. I have the AT&T version, which not only requires a $40 back cover, but also a PWA charger, as it doesn't support QI standard. Stinking greedy US carriers!
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
Oh I see. So it SUPPORTS Qi charging, but it doesn't have it right out of the box. Okay, little dishonest on their part, but I'll go with it.

There is a $10 option available for a QI/NFC sticker that should work for all but AT&T.

They aren't being dishonest. The US LG site says Qi charging is optional and T-Mobile doesn't list it as a spec. After the global version had it, a lot of American websites came out saying it had it and didn't mention it was the International version which isn't really their fault either. Carriers making a deal to not allow wireless charging out of box on their phones isn't ethical business practice though, but LG isn't at fault there either.
Anyonr have which backs and chargers they r using I dont want to buy wrong one
Do the backs that support charging add much thickness to the phone? Are they high quality material?
F400 G3 OEM BACK DOES NOT WORK on US Models
I ordered the F400 on eBay. Mistake. It does not work with the US variant. They moved all 4 of the pins needed for NFC and charge and added a gap as some have pointed out already. But just explicitly letting you know the F400 back won't work with T-Mobile version. The $10 sticker on Ali Express seems like the way to go. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/3GlBju Type 1 is most common for US variants like the T-Mobile D851.

They are the exact same thickness as the stock battery cover. So zero added bulk and the feel is identical to the stock one.

I didn't like the leather band, so I went out and spent $20 on Pebble Steel band, I'm glad I did

Here you go: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/102660/p/2815,9141. There's a number to call to request extra links.
I call but the told me buy an extra metal band
I've found that when it comes to minor assistance, Motorola is completely not customer friendly.
They won't sell just the band adapter and they won't sell you just the links.
I know this thread is a little old... I just got my first gen moto 360 with the metal band. Even with the extra links I need like 2 more. I literally just called and they just asked for an address and said they will FedEx me another set.
Just wondering if anyone has found any information on when the U.S. will see the metal band? Or if it's available somewhere overseas to purchase?
I eanna know too
I've seen two things. I think on Android Authority or Android Police they contacted Sony and they said there was a delay and it would be out in April. I'm not sure if that was the full watch or also the separate band. Then a week or so ago I saw a forum post with Sony UK saying May (I think it was on Twitter). Again, that's the UK and not sure if just full watch or separate band as well. Also, considering it is getting late in April and no word yet, May seems reasonable to me.
I cant wait, to switch bands around....metal for work, rubber for workout etc...black with leather strap for casual
You won't get a firm answer unfortunately from Sony US. They are closing all but maybe one or two of their retail stores and aren't bringing in any new devices (Phone related) to the US to be sold direct. Other shops might have them but it's unknown who. I have a friend at Sony that deals with US sales and this is the info I got.

I saw the whole watch on expansys USA but nothing with just the steel-band yet
The Sony web store in Germany is now listing the SW3 with the brown and black leather bands but is only for the full watch (looks to be same price as metal one) , but still not showing separately. UK store doesnt show the leather ones yet but hopefully this means they are finally getting around to releasing something.
Thanks for all the info everyone. I'm defiantly crossing my fingers for May. Can't wait to make this phone look classy.
Sony.....we have been waiting for the metal band sold separately. ...whats taking you soo long.
