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

Cool, I am waiting for my Moto 360 to arrive as well, ordered it together with the Pebble Steel band. Only thing that will be constantly at the back of mind is the cracking issue.

I saw a few as well...only time will tell about the cracking
I been using this band for a month now and no issues... I don't have it skin tight but a little lose.
just got one too from best buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pebble-...lack/6979128.p?id=1219260611653&skuId=6979128)
watched a youtube video on installing and adjusting the links. took me about 5 minutes with zero experience.
It's a nice mod, should be getting the official band this week.

Will you be doing another video with the official bands? I am still considering getting the Official Bands, $80 is quite steep for me.

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.

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.

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

Have you already added the four extra links that came in the box? Dig through it, because people say they are hidden pretty well in there.
Yes and i used but i still need one or two more

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.
Sent from my Xperia Z2
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.

Well think like this... This LG G4 is the international global version, which is free from carriers bloatware, that you can't uninstall unless you root it . Also, future updates comes first to the international model... With QuadBeat headphones, leather and plastic back... For $659 its not bad at all... And, you dont need to pay for tax....
The LG G4 Leather Att cost $669 PLUS TAX... Which it will bring to the cost of $750...

does any website still selling Mate 20 X - 8/256G 4G version... ??
please let me know the link...
Networks here in the UK only have the 5G model in stock.
The 4G can be found on eBay but most are pre-owned. The few brand new ones are very expensive, they cost more than the 5G model. I spent a long time looking for a reasonably priced new 4G but couldn't find one.
I've just received my 5G yesterday and I'm really pleased with it so far.

thank you, maybe 5G version is the last hope... if 4G isn't available anymore.. I am not satisfied with Aliexpress... could see lots of complaints and the Vendor is not responding to messages.
let me dig eBay for some time if the vendor responds... I will try to salvage any new item left out there...

@SivasankarC
You're welcome, I hope you have success getting a good deal on the model you settle on. What country are you in?
Mine is the 8 / 256GB 5G version, that's the only model the UK networks have now, the 4G is a much earlier release.
I did a lot of researching over the last few weeks trying to get the 4G, but of the few brand new ones I saw the cash price was way too high.
There's no way I'd invest a big chunk of my cash in a phone from outside the UK, if there were any subsequent faults I'd imagine I'd be pretty much screwed regarding the vendor sorting it out. So I never bothered looking at Aliexpress or international sellers on eBay. You saying the vendor isn't replying to your messages is a typical scenario I'd rather not be in.
Initially I preferred the 4G above the 5G, mostly because of the larger battery, but I believe the smaller 4200mAh should still see me through a typical day's use.
And whatever model you get I'm sure you will be impressed with the big screen, it really is awesome!
I'm in exactly same situation. Really want the 4g version but can't find it anywhere. Except eBay used items. I should have bought it on Amazon when I had the chance 6 months ago....ahhh.

Whats wrong with used?
Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not very keen on used. Simply because I would rather a new device with 100 percent battery health. I plan on using this one long term. At least 2 years.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered one from a third party Amazon seller. Looks new. Got it for £499. Looks like it was the last one too as no more available now. Should be with me in few days. Can't wait!
Huawei discontinued the 4G model long time ago around time the 5G model released.
I really love this 4G model and want to get another one as backup.
If huawei released the 4g model in 2018 then a 5g model in 2019 hopefully theyll release an updated version for 2021, fingers crossed. Its possible that the black shark 3 pro is enuf to attract the attention of huawei to compel it to make a 2021 model as an answer to that competition with same screen proportions as its previous models. Again fingers crossed.
Just got my brand new 4g model today. Factory sealed. Very impressed so far. Typing this on my new 20x! It is a monster. Two handed phone for sure. Gonna be putting it through its paces next few days.
