Did you end up buying one? Just saw them couple of days ago, I found some designs that I liked but not sure about the quality and how it looks in real life.

I still have not, it just not a priority as I'm happy with the cases that I have now. But I am very curious of the quality myself.
.

I have bought a couple for my gf's note1 and my razr phone. The case is so so, and the sides of the case are white despite the design of the back being colored.

I Bunch of cool designs wish they have a front protector built in to protect the screen when not in use

I did order one, it took about 10 days for delivery to USA from the UK.
I got the purple one shown above, it is very thin with the bottom and top edge completely open.
The sides wrap around the front to attach the case. The design coating on the back feels tacky and less likely to slip from your hand.
The inside of the hard back is white and the right and left sides have a strip that is about 3/16 that is also white.
Did not expect much for the price, and I probably got my moneys worth.

Would you say this is decent enough protection for while it's in use, and should still be put in a sleeve or other case when tossed in a bag?
Do you happen to also have the keyboard dock? If not, does it appear to add too much thickness to be able to dock while still protected? That's my only complaint about my folio case, is having to remove it from the holder whenever I want to use the keyboard dock. I figure it's only a matter of time before the case holder snaps or something from the constant in/out

There is no screen cover or protection. You would have to use a sleeve to travel with it. I do not have a keyboard dock but it may work.
I use it when at home while playing racing games, my 360 case is just to bulky and awkward when playing these types of games. I don't have to worry about setting in down for a few minutes on a hard surface if I need to take a call or something like that. I also have a jelly case that just covers the back but this one is much thinner. It is about 3/64 of an inch thick.

This to me is 10x better than the stainless band. Sure that's nice and all but the holder literally adds zillions of options to add any band that you want. It will certainly add bulk to the watch with stinks but it will definitely look nice with optional bands you can buy anywhere.

so nice cannot wait to have a steel strap:good:

DATES! We need DATES!

Until somebody takes my credit card number it is hard for me to be excited.
The stainless steel band is the only band I am interested in.

Can't wait! While I don't mind the silicon/rubber like band that it comes with it is quite a lint magnet (especially for myself with a white haired great dane!) I can't wait to get it with a black leather strap.

me too, i want the leather one and also the stainless steel
february?

i want it all.........

I ordered the stainless steel version a few days back, and it comes in the mail tomorrow. Will post a YouTube unboxing and hands-on right when I get it. I never owned the black silicone band SW3, so this should be a pleasant surprise. :good:

I live in the States, but I managed to grab one off the French Amazon site. The total was around 302usd after shipping. I can't post external links since I'm a new member, but here it is with spaces.
amazon.fr /gp/aw/d/B00N9OAXJC/ref=pd_aw_sbs_1?pi=SL500_SY115&simLd=1
They even have the black and white silicon bands for sale individually, though they are like 60 after shipping.
Should be getting mine in the mail today!

I wasn't able to locate the Amazon page I got it on, but I found another site that was selling them for 279eu. Try going to "priceminister" .com , and searching the swr50. I don't know anything about the site, but I saw they had them in stock.
I got mine in yesterday. It's a real beauty. The pictures online don't truly convey the brushed finish of the metal. In person it's real eye candy. Not too heavy either, which was my first concern. I'll post up some pictures tonight after work.

[Q] Possible to convert black to the nice new steel version?

hello, i was just looking into the smartwatch 3 and i think the steel one looks great. the black one however, is right now almost half the price (net quite but not too far off) and i was thinking, could i get the black one then at a later date but the nice steel strap and holder for it?
i mean as much as i like how it looks in steel i dont think its worth all that much extra but im hesitant to get the black rubbery strap as in the past my skin hasnt always loved that kind of watch straps.
(also sorry if ive put this in the wrong place, wasnt sure if here or accessories)

Yeah the bands are interchangeable, not that Sony has bothered to make strap available to buy yet...........................

ah thats what i hoped. one now ordered. yey, thanks and fingers crossed sony decide to make it available at a sensible price for a strap.

same here waiting for accessories especially for the black steel band

Sony announced the availability of the new straps in spring !
http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-smartwatch-3-stainless-steel-strap-launching-worldwide-week

well thats good news, yey. not like my watch has actually shown up. curse you amazon.

I'm a bit miffed that I had to buy the Smartwatch 3 twice. (I got the black rubber on launch thinking I could just buy the metal strap.) Just like the Smartwatch 2 it looks like you will never be able to. My metal Smartwatch 3 arrived this morning but its been a costly exercise being an early adopter. It works out ill have lost £80 once I've sold the black rubber one. Id have kept them both and used the black for running and the metal for best but you cant pair both at once which is a real shame.
Waiting for the official lime sports strap!
It still works out way cheaper than buying a Tag I suppose lol!!

Does the watch come with a tool to adjust the band and/or instructions on how to adjust it?

I haven't looked for one or even looked at the instructions as it was a perfect fit. I'll check the box in the morning and post on here my findings.

Hi. Just checked the box. You get 2 extra links and a USB charger cable. No tools for changing the links I'm afraid.

I find it pretty robust, and if it breaks warranty or insurance. Also I think the convenience of being able to charge wit a conventional cable outweighs any potential port breakage issues

just ordered these for using with it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261585900510
why they didnt give you an angled micro usb connector i have no idea.

I have no problem with the USB port albeit it's in an awkward spot, but it is the rubber dust cover that I think will not last too long, but time will tell

Stainless Steel Link Band

Would you guys recommend any specific Stainless Steel Link Band? The official one by Huawei looks nice, but is too expensive. Quick-release pins would be very nice as well.
Thanks a lot!

hey,
This one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...acelet-Tool-for-Huawei-Watch/32563705341.html
It has it all for half the price of the official one from Huawei.

Thanks! Looks very nice.

It uses a 18mm band though if you ordering that one.

Hum, you're right. The website claims the band is 22 mm thick. It's supposed to be 18 mm, right? But most of the reviews are positive (and include photos), so I guess the band fits well.
I also found this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Butterfly-Buckle-YESOO-Packaging/dp/B0178GKU44/
Looks good as well.

Got the watch last week myself so been shopping around as well.
I've seen that Yesoo and a brand called Hoco (bad spelling on both) on both Wish and Aliexpress as well as Amazon but the overseas total cost is a lot less but takes forever. Just depends how bad you want it I guess. Let me know if you find any other deals.
I forgot your original link was from Ali, so I guess your looking there too

it's a 22mm band that is 18mm at the lugs. look at a picture of the stock band and you can see it gets skinnier right at the end

I ended up buying this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Butterfly-Buckle-YESOO-Packaging/dp/B0178GKU44/
I really like it! The size is perfect, it comes with built-in quick-release pins, extra pins and a watch link remover tool.

Bought huawei stainless steel with leather strap for $280 a week ago.
Got a stainless steel 20mm band with 18mm lugs and butterfly clasp for Just 10$

Honestly all the bands being sold (like the ones in this thread) are pretty much exactly the same from what I have seen. I have one of the many steel link bands that everyone has been posting.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EEDX3MU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like mine, though I did do a bit of filing at the lug ends since they were a bit sharp and just a hair too thick making inserting the band a bit hard. It has the quick pins and securely fits and snaps close well. Do be careful about the pins they can slide out as with most of the metal bands out there. I also just bought these and awaiting delivery

and
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NI5L-Silicone-Rubber-Smart-Wrist-Watch-Band-Bracelet-Strap-For-Huawei-Talkband-B3/32701080350.html
Not sure about the rubber one since it was made for the Talkband and I see varying lug sizes (16 or 18mm), but for $4 bucks why not.
I also have these other bands if you are curious about any of them:

Thank you for the information and your advice. I was mainly interested in the stainless link bands so I went ahead and purchased the AliExpress one.

I can NOT recommend the eBay watchband mentioned by Panzer500. It cost me broken glass on the watch.
The ratchet that closes the watchband is not stainless steel, I suspect it is just cast aluminimum without necessary precision that would be possible if it was made of machined steel. It does not fit firmly in the hole provided so it can open very easily. It came loose today and I have broken my watch glass.

When you closed the clasp did you make sure that it was actually closed on one of the indents of the band because 5 days straight wearing it and never once was it loose or came undone.

About 2 months ago I bought one from Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...acement-For-Huawei-Watch-Hot/32636270014.html).
I'm wearing it every day for 2 months without any issue. It is quite heavy (it feels a bit heavier than the original one). But never became opened by accident. On the contrary: I find it sometimes a bit hard to open the clasp.
And after 2 months is still looks great, and I do think this is actually quite good quality stainless steel. I'm actually amazed by the price (especially considering the quality, and my previous watchband from a local market for 15€ which was a lot worse than this one).

Yes. After it came loose once I have always closed it carefully and pulled on the band to see if it holds. Next morning the watch fell to the floor.

Well sorry about what happened to your watch. I still haven't had any issues with mine.

hello friends. where best to buy a bracelet?

The cool thing I like about the Magnetic Milanese is that when you aren't wearing it, the magnetic and flexibility allow you to create a triangle "stand". So when it is on your desk, it is elevated and facing you.
The downfall is that it loosens up during the day, but it is nice that you can finely tune the watch tightness depending on your situation. When I am out and about, I like it to be semi loose. However if I am working, I can tighten it up.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EEDX3FW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The big downfall is that I think it looks kinda feminine. I like the big lugs myself.

Accessories Watch Bands OEM and Third Party

When I learned that I could buy a google leather strap and swap out 20mm straps with a tool I jumped at the chance. I also bought one of the google elastic straps. Both are very nice and nice quality and a bit pricey. However those two are worth the cash IMO. I was able to swap out straps to a canvas strap. As third party, I bought a cheapy 20bux velcro strap and total garbage and looks cheap. Do not recommend. I also bought a bracelet for 25 bux off amazon. It took about 3 weeks to get to me but it works. I have a PVD version so I bought the PVD bracelet to fit. And they do fit. However, I do suggest if you can find one get a bracelet with microadjust holes at the clasp. I will post pics later today. Thanks for taking the time to read! Please send me any questions you may have.

To me the Hazel band looks grey. I'd be grateful for some 3rd party recommendations if you guys have any. I find grey a bit dull. Thanks!

Here's the pvd bracelet from Amazon. The connectors are prone to being scratched pretty easily.
There's others out there now. Pretty sure they're all the same.the stamped clasp is a bit larger on the others I've seen in pics.

I like the looks of them. But I personally don't love the dramatic tapering of the straps and makes the strap skinnier than I personally prefer. I have a ton of watches with a bunch of different straps. I tend to try to make the strap look as close as the lug width can go to and I don't mind a slight taper after that. However now have the stretch OEM bracelet, I think that fits...well mostly lol m the lugs are dark green, which is kinda odd but works.

I hope some watch band companies release some for pixel watch as currently over priced google and then cheap chinese ones are only options.

This the OEM Google stretch ones. Super comfy and worth the price imo. You have to know what your wrist is size when ordering. Mine is the small. Sizes go from extra small to extra large.

Ringke just released their metal bands that are shipping 1/25. Weird because I just got notification that mine shipped today (1/17). Well the label was created. The band is 100 USD, a far cry from the one I posted that took about a month to get to me from China. This Ringke version comes with tools as well to adjust the band. This band is an oyster style bracelet with a butterfly deployant. With the "R" stamped at the clasp. Looks decent, but not sure 100 decent.

I bought the pvd

I got it installed and I can attest, that this is way better quality. But is it 100 bux worth? Having handled hundreds of different straps, I have to say yes. But to a non watch person, it's subjective. To me it's leaps better than the Amazon one I posted earlier.

I ordered the Caseology Nano Pop strap for 17 bucks today! Looks nice!

Alright, it arrived today! Replacing the original strap was fairly easy (although this mechanism Google used is kinda weird) and the watch just pops in the Caseology strap from underneath. This area of the band is rubber-ish so it stretches a little so you can slide the watch in. It seems pretty protective with the raised bezels around the screen.
I've just put the watch on for a few minutes with it but it seems quite comfy. I love the look of it! It gives the Pixel Watch a completely different design in my opinion, in a good way.
The only thing I don't like is the way it closes: Google's sports band is much cooler with the double hole thingy (not sure what it's called). Caseology's is more traditional with the metal buckle. We'll see tomorrow how it feels as I should be wearing the watch most of the day outside.
