Hi,
Wish to share this for people who contemplate replacing the original brown band:
I just replaced it with a black leather band with off-white stitches, and also managed to keep the original Asus metal clap!
It looks just great, and I'm very happy with it
Some pics attached.
look very nice...
Looks great! Curious how you got the Asus clamp on a generic watchband... That's exactly what I'd want to do. Did you cut one end or something like that?

That's the beauty of it didn't need to cut anything on either bands!
It detaches easily out of the original band by pulling the clamp connector pin, and found several bands that I could just slide the Asus clamp on as-is. It attaches into one of the existing holes. I did widen the hole in the black band just a bit to get it in there all the way.

I know you have to just pull the connector pin out but on the new band, it must be a specific type leather band that accepts that connector pin on the one end right? Can't just be a generic leather band with a buckle... Correct?

It is just a generic band with a buckle. Only replaced its buckle with the Asus clip as described

I guess I just wasn't aware the buckle on a generic band could come off easily without cutting it off. Good to know though! Thanks for the info.
This was great....I really like the buckle and this was so simple.
Great job, well done - I was hoping somebody would post with a black band - looks nice.
From what I understand of after-market bands and clasps is that a lot of buckles are attached with a similar pin that attaches the band to the watch. Pop that off and you can fit a deployment clasp (like the Asus one here).
The clasps - of which there seem to be quite a few out there - come in various widths to accommodate the tapering of the band from watch to buckle (usually about 2mm thinner at the buckle end, but YMMV). So, a 22mm band might require a 20mm deployment clasp or buckle.
I don't suppose you could post a measurement of how wide that strap is at the buckle end, could you? Or, the inner-width of the clasp? That way we can buy online bands and be fairly certain that the Asus clasp can still be used.
I know I'll need a different strap when it's available in the UK, just toying whether to get a new clasp too.

Sure - The strap width is 18mm (also of the original band). The inner width of the clasp is 2-3mm wider.
I would recommend in this case to just step into a local shop, and pick something that fits. If you do order online be sure it also includes the spring connector pins that hook to the phone body. The original ones are not easy to interchange because they have a special release hook that sticks out.
Dang, I thought I did this first I did mine about a week ago, just didnt get around to posting images. Yours looks better since you used a band that tapered. Mine didnt (some cheap walmart band) so I had to cut tiny nothces on the latch side.
Can you link us to where you got your band?

Thanks for that. For clarification, the band tapers from 22mm at the watch end to 18mm at the buckle on the original band, yes?
I'll try shopping locally, but there's not so much around where I live. I had thought about the spring clips, since they've got that quick removal lever, which wouldn't transfer. At the very least, I know a different deployment clasp can be used so it's not the end of the world.

A couple of posts down.
@adiror May I ask where your bought that strap? Thanks.
Is it possible to swap the clasps on the leather bands? I have silver and all 3 colors, but I don't use the stone band, so I would like to put the silver clasp from it on the black band.

I haven't done it but was told they're held on with regular watch pins, so it should work.

They are definitely held on with regular spring pins. I switched my regular clasp (stone leather band) with a deployment style clasp right after getting the watch.
Has anyone with a Silver Moto 360 got a mesh or Milanese type metal strap installed on theirs?I have a 360 but looking to get a different band.
This one on Amazon UK seems to be the only one I can find... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stainless-W...37015975&sr=8-3&keywords=moto+360+metal+strap
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!
nice looking bands, I like both mesh colors
Hello,
Are there any Huawei owners that have OEM bands lying around that they don't like or doesn't suit their taste? I have a new black leather band, that has never been used. Does anyone have an OEM mesh milanese strap they don't want and would be willing to trade? PM me please.
Newegg has OEM bands
Problem solved. I didn't know Huawei finally had bands on their site. I didn't feel comfortable with any of the bands on Amazon. Some looked thinner than the OEM and the mesh was of a looser weave. First. I ordered an eBay replica suggested by @TerrorTodd in an accessories forum. I'll use this as back up as I found an OEM milanese band on Newegg for almost half of Huawei's site price of $130.
Just a tip for those seeking replacement or additional milanese clasp bands for the best price possible.
Anyone know where to get an extra link for the stainless steel link band?
Just picked up the watch for $150 and it is to tight on my wrist so I think one more link should fix it to perfection.
Thx,

That does look to be the exact same band...

They are not the same.
The original band does not taper at all from clasp to end.
The Rerii band tapers from 22mm at the watch lug to 20mm at the clasp.
This means that the extra links would be 20mm and not the required 22mm of the original band.
Bummer, I have been unsuccessful in locating extra links online anywhere.. even eBay does not have any listed!!!!! ?

I happen to have a few extra links from the original band (my wrist is quite small), only problem i am located on the other side of the world to you.
Thanks, I do need to get Australia checked off my bucket list one of these day's... Moving to Colombia soon but that is still on the opposite side of the world...
I also need 2 links. I'll be happy to pay postage.
