Moto finally released the Moto maker for the 360 and also released the mono band......finally! That's the band that was in the first render before the watch was released.

Too bad the band is not available (yet?) for purchase, separately.
Yeah I know
That mono band ????

The more I look at the stainless steel band on my watch the more it looks hideous compared to the mono band
Still not the same as the early metal band pics. The link closest to the watch body isn't curved like in the proto shots - that to me is what made that band special.
I quite like the regular metal band but it would be better if it was a little chunkier.

Considering ordering the watch with the new metal band and accidentally returning it with the old metal band. Think they would notice? I mean, if they don't give me an option to buy it, what the hell am I supposed to do?
I think they would! Either way, the watch with the new band is not being shipped immediately. Most probably the new band will be available to purchase separately in a month or two.
Hope so.

Hi friends,
Since my SGH-T989 is bricked i couldn't repair it on any service store in my country. They told me that SGH-T989 it's a rare model and we don't have the right support for the JTAG service.
I was thinking about of buying a new phone, but first i wanna to consult with you guys, about experiences with SmartPhones from Hong Kong.
They are too damn cheap compared with other countries.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...1041813229?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item257ed70eed
I have found this item on eBay for 172$ and i am worried about if this item would be original as my bricked SGH-T989 that was bough in NY/USA.
What do you think about, should i buy this phone ?
I will install CyanogenMod to this phone because i can't live without it, do you think it will support CM ROM ?
Thank you in advance.
Why buy another S2 when you can get a new moto G for that price, or a used upgrade of some type.

i have a budget of 200$, what do you think is the best smartphone i can buy with 200$
I only know about so many phones. A 16gb Moto G would be nice. Or check out used ones in your price range. Google them and compare to the G... Like "moto G vs whatever" so your search phrase.
If you like flashing things... You could get an N4 used for that price. A little more and an N5 maybe. A moto X for a bit more, but not much to do for flashing. And watch the moto's... Verizon, AT&T and Republic wireless have bootloader that can't be unlocked.
There's probably S4's near that price. Maybe. S3 isn't a very good upgrade, a little, but not much.
Not sure about other makes myself tho.

You have to consider SD card slot though too, if you use it.
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

Sorry I can't post links yet.
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.

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.

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
I contact motorola and they say if you need a few links buy another metal strap for 79.99

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.
Sony.....we have been waiting for the metal band sold separately. ...whats taking you soo long.
