Can anyone tell me how large of a wrist the Huawei watch will fit? I have exactly an 8 inch wrist and a lot of watch bands only fit me on about the last hole in the bands. Also, are the metal link bands and the leather bands the same size?
Based on some quick measurements I made, the stock leather band should fit your wrist on probably the last hole. The stock leather band measures 7" from pin to pin when on the last hole. The watch case measures almost 2" from lug to lug. Hope this helps!

I didn't see any information on here on the Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways XL (that's really the product name), so I'd thought I post a quick review.
First, a link to the manufacturer's website and an Amazon.com page:

Carrying my Nexus 5 - wrapped in an Ionic Guardian case - in my pocket just doesn't work. The phone is just too damn big. Wearing standard 4-pocket jeans, I doubt that I would be able to sit down with the phone in any of the pockets, and a set of keys would probably tear the face of the phone up. I will not wear a fanny pack, no matter how fashionable they are. Short of having a tailor sew an extra cargo pocket on all my trousers and shorts, I needed to find a better solution.
The Nite Ize Sideways XL definitely fits the Nexus 5 WITH the Ionic cover. It's a horizontal-carry only case. The case has elastic sewn-in the ends to check to the phone's horizontal movement; the phone lightly touches these stops, and horizontally it's a good fit. the vertical height of the case is about 1/4" (7mm) proud with the phone in and the velcro closure (more on that in a bit) centered; the case could be a 1/4" vertically shorter for a perfect fit, but there is some adjustment in the closure, so I can live with it. This case will probably fit most, if not all, Nexus 5 protective covers.
Features:
Colors: Black (purchased), Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity (for dance night, I guess), and Espresso (a dark brown fabric with black trim).
Construction: The fabric appears to be ballistic nylon with faux-leather accents. There's an thin internal pocket on the clip-side of the case that can readily accept credit cards, identification cards, folded currency, etc. The exterior ballistic nylon is backed internally by soft fabric; the case covers the phone completely. The case appears very durable and protective for the phone. With the "lid" of the case closed, the case is locked "solid".
Clip: A fairly wide black plastic clip. It will easily fit a 2" (5 cm) belt. As previously stated this is a horizontal-only case; the clip doesn't rotate. One advantage of the fixed clip is that it creates a much thinner clip. The clip has a hook on the bottom; once it snaps over a belt, it stays put. I've had to fish my other cases (with phones in them) from the seats of cars and chair cushions because the act of sitting-down pushed the case up and off my belt when carried on the small of my back; no issue here.
Closure: Hook-and-loop (Velcro). Either you love Velcro, or you hate it. The folks I know who carry gear on their belts (military, police, rescue workers, corrections officers, etc.) swear by Velcro. I can live with it, it's just a little loud sometimes. It's probably not as loud as my annoying ringtone, so most people never hear the holster opening.
Cost: $13.49 (US), and free Super-Saver shipping.
Gripes: Not really any major gripes. One (minor) gripe would be the lack of a cutout on the bottom of the case so the wearer can push the phone up when pulling the phone from the case. The case is designed to protect the phone, so I can't blame the manufacturer. With the elastic sides and flexible ballistic nylon construction, I can slide my fingers between the interior wall of the case and the phone and pull the phone out of the case easily enough, so it's not really an issue.
Final thoughts: Nite Ize has a good reputation for making tough gear. Read reviews for any of their products; customers love the build quality and durability. It's one of the few options for carrying a hybrid-cased Nexus 5.
Anyone who managed to add a sleek thinner 18mm band to the watch? Mine looks a bit bit on my little wrist

TYLT Watch Replacement Strap Review
Pros-
Looks great
Feels great
Quality silicone
Quality packaging
Good starting colors
Water proof, sweat proof
Tough
Cons-
Could use more colors?
Dust?
Strap came undone occasionally.
I received the TYLT watch strap for the Moto 360. I was surprised with how good the packaging looked! Good attention to detail. The strap was very easy to install, and liked that they found a way to making a "normal" looking watch strap without the cutouts needed to have a watch strap fit a Moto 360. (see my review of a watch band hack here... http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-360/441678-moto-360-sport-edition-watch-strap-mod.html)
The strap performed admirably in everyday and outdoor conditions. I much prefer synthetic straps like this than to leather, because this is the same watch I work out in and also go out in. The strap is great for running, very similar to the strap on my wife's Garmin GPS watch. It's silicone, and while I am a bigger fan of the resin type of watch bands found on G-Shock watches, the TYLT band has made me a convert over to silicone watch straps. It's a thick, quality strap. It isn't flimsy like a cheaper silicone band that I had. The stainless steel was a great fit and looked nice. I ran in this, bathed my kids with this watch on, gotten it wet plenty of times-- you can't do that with leather. I like that about this watch strap. I can work out and run and still use the same strap to take out the wife to a dinner. I've gotten plenty of compliments about my watch.
My only complaints would be if it came out in a dark gray or other colors. There are 4 to choose from, I love the black. I would love a gray of some sort, but it's nitpicking. Sometimes dust seemed to stick to my watch strap more than a metal or leather strap, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Also, I was working a lot in a wood shop. So your mileage may vary! Not a big deal at all. Finally, my only true CON for this watch strap would be that sometimes the strap would come undone by itself. I am a musician, so I play hand drums and do some more clapping than the normal person. This would be when I noticed it. Or, if I was throwing and catching the football. Other than that, it would stay on by itself. The watch didn't fall off, just the clasp unhooked. For instance, I've gone through today without the watch strap unhooking at all. Not a deal breaker, but it is worth noting.
All in all, I would high recommend the TYLT Watch Strap for the Moto 360. It is worth the money you spend because the silicone is a high quality and the strap is well made. Definitely check this out!
ENjoy!

Does anyone else have this issue? The metal clasp trends to dig into or pinch my wrist when is on. I'm referring to the metal part that the silicon band slides through. Has anyone come up with any easy ways to resolve? I can't find a leather band anywhere.

I don't have this issue, can you loosen the strap a bit to resolve it? Or maybe push the metal class down further in to the band with pliers or something? Mine is very snug on the band.
Tried loosening to no avail and didn't want to bend anything so I just ordered the leather band version and I'll sell this one off when it arrives.

Yes, I've had the same problem. Which is partly why I bought the metal band and love it. I now just use the rubber band in bed, but more loose than normal.

Is it possible to swap the metal silver sony watch 3 to a black rubber band?
yes
I have all 3 bands, the black silicone band, the universal adapter and the SS band. I interchange them all the time. The SS band is a bit harder to get the SW3 in and out of than the other 2 but not by much.
