Apple Watch 3rd Party Adapters and Bands

[ianfann]

Careful not to scratch your Apple watch (sports edition) with these steel bands!

On the contrary, the sport model is more sustainable to scratches than the stainless steel model. Because the SS model is mirror polished, any small scratch is visible. But Stainless steel is harder than aluminium thus it's harder to dent it compared to the sport model.

Yes keep us updated bro

I just got an update. The factory producing this 1:1 clone is facing some production issues and will only be able to start shipping maybe mid of this month. So I guess we won't be seeing it anytime soon. Just in case you guys are wondering. There isn't a black 1:1 clone link bracelet in the market yet. There are already 90% black clones but it's not 100% 1:1.

I just helped my brother (who has the 42mm SP AW) buy this space grey link bracelet which is similar to my silver link bracelet. Looks quite good but I still prefer my SS AW. Heres the photo and video :

I dunno wor, I got the grey one for my brother I didn't get the black one. Anyway, here is my latest strap to my collection, I think I better stop buying liao.

All very nice straps ianfann, I was also considering changing strap but still leaning towards the originals. Well I can't wear leather due to perspiration and allergic too, so it's either the Milanese or Link bracelet. Any recommendation between these two or should I just stick to my current black sport band?

At Fossil i saw the leather and canvas ones. I find that they look better than the other alternatives.

Does the fossil one come with the adapters or you have to put it on yourself with an external adapter?

The fossil ones are for fossil watches but i guess if you use the apple adapters you can use it on your apple watch.

after using the leather loop (taobao) for a few weeks, still prefer the sports band.

more comfortable feel and suitable for the gym.

the leather loop band must change out whenever i go gym.

True. I read that Apple states their leather bands are not water resistant, somehow it's just the sports band or any of the metal ones for me.

So far no updates yet. And as I mentioned, there isn't any 1:1 clone in space grey, I think that one have to wait for much longer.

This model is still not the 1:1 clone but close. Adjusting the links still need a tool and there are problems with the gap in between the links and the butterfly clasps is still not refined yet. So I suggest not getting this model.
