Nope. Don't intend to as I do not want to weaken the structure and end up having a broken watch. The free tempered glass is not full screen and the free tpu case is good for protection but moves around a bit so not so nice when it goes out of alignment.

Anyone has a nice SS adapter to recommend me?

i just gotten my strap... overall not bad.

although i nv try the orginal Apple strap before.

Wow! That looks great. How's the strength of the magnet? Does the strap come lose very often? Does the leather flake? Can show us a few more photos?

There are 3 links before. See which one you prefer. Mine will only come next week as I am waiting for some other products to ship together. So cannot give any reviews till next week. But the reviews on taobao is very positive

I need the site in English cause I can't read Chinese.

Then I suggest you use 65daigou. Copy the link there and they will help you to buy. But content wise no one will help you translate.

If not, try buying from Amazon. Quite a number of three party straps but more expensive

HOCO Blue leather strap with SS classic buckle and black watch adapters! Why they send me black adapters?! I didn't ask for it, and on the seller's website it shows SS adapters. The leather so so only, I don't recommend this strap, please don't buy.

Thanks for sharing. I've been keen for a leather band and thought the HOCO steel ones seem to have such good reviews, the leather ones should be pretty decent too...

How does it compare with say the first party leather bands?

 

[ianfann]

I have never tried the first party leather bands so I am not able to comment, paiseh.

Fair enough. Looks decent in your photos compared to some of the other junk I've seen now at challenger Funan for $49.90 (Pearland Apple Watch leather band).

To save everyone the hassle this is what they had today. Note no stands in stock anymore at Funan Challenger.

I bought the Baseus Milanese loop in Singapore from a store called Mac Infinity in Funan for $25 SGD. It doesn't feel as good as genuine Apple given the clasp isn't magnetic but it is adjustable (within the notches) and quality seems okay so far. Looks nice with my SS 42mm. Best bit was the store clerk gave me a $5 discount when I bought it with the tempered glass screen protector ($15), and the staff helped with adjusting the clasp using a flat head screwdriver and applied the glass screen protector.

Here are some photos







Note I took last 42mm to try before buying and hence none left so had to take a photo of the 38mm band. There were a few other options but this seemed to be a decent price and I couldn't find anything bad about the Baseus Milanesr watch band from Google and a thread in MacRumors.

HOCO leather you have to go for premium grade one then different. The normal grade one are known to be crappy.
