[Q] Mi band extra straps

Hey,
has anyone found where you can buy the leather and wraparound straps they keep advertising in images? I have a mi band and it's great, but would want another strap for it.

No, I even asked some Chinese friends and it's starting to look like the extra bands are not released yet, but can't get it verified.

I'd love to get additional straps too.... Not only leather ones, I'd love to get an extra blue and green strap too.
But as far as I've seen, these additional straps seems not to be on market yet. Does anyone has info about that?

They are available on aliexpress.

True that, I've just seen them. But... these are not original and imho, quite expensive considering the price of the band itself. Let's wait for an official release by Xiaomi and probably also these fake straps would lower their price.

additional bands can be found on tinydeal.com

Those are still silicon bands. I asked for leather or wrap around. :/

Anyway, I tried some third party straps in silicon; copies are 1 to 1 with respect to the original band, so the core fits in perfectly. However, the used silicon is not merely comparable to the original one and after few weeks, the bracelet loose with ease.

I suggest you to buy a Sony smart band swr10 strap.
I already had this sony band and I love the design, very manly.
The mi band core is a bit small inside but doesn't move at all (I use it in the pool too)
The drawback is you won't see anymore the 3 leds, but I don't care and the band is very classy and durable.

Did you have to modify the Sony strap? Could you maybe post some pictures of the Mi tracker inside the Sony strap?

I didn't modify the strap to fit the Mi band. It fits quite tight on the length that prevent the module to move, not on the width but that's not a big deal. I did that because I already had the sw10 and my girlfriend didn't like the Miband bracelet for a man.
I can't post you a picture since I gave the Miband to a friend but trust me on this, you won't loose it.

Thanks for your answer. The tracker itself isnt visible, right? So you can't tell if there is a SWR10 or a MiBand in it without looking underneath?

Since it has a more flat form that the swr10 module, you can fill it when you pass your finger on the top of the strap, on the sides of the module. It won't bother you nor is particularly visible.

I bought this leather bracelet in this website:

I am very happy with it. I think that it is not genuine but no one cares with it. No one knows that

i use sony smartwatch 3 and i am very happy

Would like to see a "nicer" band option.

Being as the SmartWatch 3 is kinda modular, what are the chances a "nicer" wrist strap will eventually be available?
Would be nice to use the rubber strap for running/ working out and other more outdoors environments and be able to slip it into a more elegant leather (my preference) or metal strap option. Any news on a possible Sony or third party option like this?

I would like this too,

I've heard some rumours on some tech websites about a metal strap coming, but any concrete details are scarce.
I don't get it really as sony would be onto a real winner here if they just made some premium straps that we could buy and swap out according to our needs. The main criticism of the sw3 is that it's unattractive. I think that's mainly to do with the functional nature of the strap.

My SW3 wont arrive until Monday, so I've yet to see or handle it in person and don't know how it exactly slips into the strap. Don't know if it would be an issue to slip it into a strap that isn't at least partially rubber? What do you guys that actually have one think?
Either way, I ended up winning a Asus ZenWatch on ebay that will be my more dressy option. I really like the look of the ZenWatch, I personally prefer it over the Moto 360 or LG G watch R.
I nice looking leather/metal band option would give the Smartwatch 3 some real flexibility though. I'll keep looking to see if it happens.

Looks like the Smartwatch 3 holder will be the answer from Sony for a way to use your preferred style band. Mine arrived today just in time to hear the news. Still it not as nice as I would hope.

That holder is plastic or metal?

looks plastic, that why I'm not so excited. Still doesn't look very premium. Wish it was black metal or SS.
I haven't seen anything stating the watch pops out of the new metal model. Would be nice if you could just buy the metal band.
Here are a few additional pics I found:

Thanks guys.
So I am gonna buy the metal watch.

Official Huawei Bands are Now Live

Not sure if this has been posted here yet. But you can now order the bands from Huawei site.
http://www.gethuawei.com/buy-huawei-watch

Why would anyone pay those ridiculous prices?

Unfortunately the Huawei site doesn't take orders for outside the USA. I ordered the black leather strap from the following Seller via Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018UP0952?ref_=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1

Because these prices are not crazy for some other people. And I for one, will not buy a cheap nock off from eBay or Amazon.
Its there for people who wants it. No one is being forced to buy it. But yes, if I need one, I will be buying from them.

I was seriously asking... lol. Looking at the Amazon listing though it does not appear to.
I can see differences right off the bat though. The band on Amazon must be slightly slimmer than the Huawei official. If you look where the band attaches to the watch, the Amazon version is the same width as the band itself. The Huawei official band is slightly wider than the actual part that attaches to the watch. (lugs pin?) I am not very good at explaining stuff so I am not even going to try to explain other differences I see. lol
EDIT: Disregard, I was looking at this one.

I have to agree and disagree. I do feel that Huawei has the bands overpriced. However, you also get what you pay for. The ebay / amazon knock offs may "look" the same but are unlikely to be manufactured with the same quality of materials and to the same quality standard. I am trying to grasp why the steel mesh band is $129, when the price difference from the Huawei Watch with a leather band to the mesh band is only $50....
Myself? I would definitely purchase the knock offs! I may be OCD, but I will not worry nearly as much when my $25 stainless steel mesh strap gets scratched or banged up then I would if my $129 one did.

The metal bands may be VERY similar in "appearance" so I agree with you there. However, leather is a whole different story. If you know anything about leather at all, you would definitely know leather is not leather. The Huawei leather band is actually very nice. The knock offs on Amazon are going to be low quality, crap leather with poor stitching, I guarantee it.

You guys are funny.
"I don't want to buy cheap Chinese stuff"
"I want the one with Huawei logo".
Huawei sounds very Chinese. IS Chinese. So now because of logo everyone will know you bought Chinese.

I only asked if it had the logo because he stated that it was "identical". It was a serious question to him, being he actually purchased one. I personally would prefer it not have the logo on the clasp for a cleaner look.
I didn't say anything about not wanting to buy cheap Chinese stuff. I said that I would buy the $25 one over the original so if it did get scratched / banged up it wouldn't be a big deal.

Just a quick update having today received my Huawei black leather strap from the Amazon.co.uk Seller I mentioned at post 3 above http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...051_TE_3p_dp_1
I bought this leather strap for work, so that I can swap and wear my original metal bracelet during the weekends. I can confirm that, this strap from Amazon is the genuine Huawei leather strap. The boxing and presentation is exactly the same as with the watch and the spare Huawei charger, and the strap has all the proper Huawei markings. The strap itself is good quality, supple and soft with perfect stitching. This strap puts that which I have on my Montblanc watch (and costing twice as much) to shame. Whilst comparatively expensive at 77 Euros, it is one of the best leather straps I have had. I'll order the brown strap just as soon as they have them in. Loving this watch.
Pavoni.

they are probably charging these crazy prices because otherwise noone would buy the upgraded huawei watch models for $100 extra if they could just buy the band separately and save money.
this obviously has nothing to do with the quality of the band. no leather band on earth is actually worth 100 bux or whatever they are charging.
and if you are willing to pay that for the huawei logo you should seriously reconsider your priorities. there is nothing special about these bands.

interesting..it looks chunkier than the black rubber strap though...I have very small wrists (on the stock black rubber strap I have the latch in the middle hole) so this might be too big for me. Anyone have small wrists and have pics of it on for comparison?

I thought the same, looks massive! Surely they could have made it smaller. With the size it is, I think a nice strap on it would look silly rather than nice.

If anyone gets one, please let us know if it's a dust magnet like the normal black strap, that's the only thing letting this watch down at the moment. Hopefully the metal strap will be available soon as well at a decent price.

Got one, to me it fits better than the 3d printed, definitely no dust manget.

it does look well made...but it appears taller than it needs to be...I mean why not just take the holder design from the silicon band, then cut it off where the holder narrows into the straps, and put a regular strap adapter there? (if that makes any sense lol :silly the size is a few millimeters shy of an an ankle bracelet.

yeah, know what you mean, but physically impossible to have a holder and attachment for the seperate straps in that small space. See below pictures with original and this holder. In the original strap the device itself already is overlapping the strap. So you need that space first on the seperate holder and then hav the location of the strap attachement strong enough (that is , more material needed)

thanks for sharing the detailed pics, I can see how the design does limit how close the adapters can be positioned to the actual core. No hope for my dainty wrists then...Also, is it just me, or is your stock silicone strap glossy?

I think the holder with black mesh strap looks quite nice

my wrist is smaller then yours i suppose, had the original strap in 3rd hole :
and it's not shiny from origin, its just worn (as you can see in previous pictures, the corners are showing metal underneath)

nope my wrist is smaller, i'd have only 1 hole exposed above the sony logo if I took a picture this way.
still, it does really look nice and premium, but it's just too much bezel for me.

There's a few official SWR510's on ebay at the moment, shipped from Japan, around 30 Euros.
Think I'll order one of these rather than the 3d printed ones.

Metal Band: Where to buy/Best Prices?

Does anybody know of anybody selling the metal band original or after market for a decent price?

Nobody?

I got mine on eBay for an unpleasant price. I saw on here some time back that seller dropped the price, I believe. I don't regret it, though. The steel band is pretty nice, so if this is the look you want for you watch, get it at about any price you can. I suspect it will greatly increase the value (maybe even pay for itself if the SW3 is in that high a demand later on) if you were to sell it later on.

My friend has one.
Since the strap IS metal but the watch core is not (it's plastic), you'll have to be careful not to accidentally hook on something because he did and the core broke off the strap. Now he has to use silicone black band, no chance to find a replacement metal band in Poland...
