There's Casio and Victorinox bands on Amazon that'll work without modification. Most are rubber but there's a couple leather ones from Victorinox, I think those might be a bit overpriced tho...

You can always modify your own rubber/leather one (just cut with a knife) or even metal (gonna need something like a Dremel). Basically you need the band to be 14mm at the point where it holds the spring bar, and 22mm thru the rest of the band if you want it to fit like the stock band.

If you buy a band like the Casio linked below you'll either need some replacement 14mm spring bars (not hard to find) or to notch a little cut into the band so the quick release levers on the stock band fit.

P.S. Asking someone on Etsy to custom fit a band is another option if you can't get a jeweler to do it... I've seen at least one example here of someone that had a very nice leather one with a very different brown tone made for his ZW3, wish I'd saved that post.

I don't think he called out which Etsy seller did it for him tho so it might be pointless either way, there's lots of people doing that stuff. If you want my opinion, Horween Chromexcel is a really nice kind of leather and I've seen people on Etsy using it.

Had a band made out of that from Worn & Wound which I customized myself for the 360, soft as all get out and it aged and got worn in real nice with 0 care or maintenance. I doubt ASUS' will age that gracefully, tho it's serving me fine for now.

Absolutely! I wish someone had the answers for me before I made the switch and it might've saved me some time (and 3 watch returns ha ha)

I wear mine for sleep tracking and when I go to bed I usually have around 60% give or take - I usually transition it to "Enhanced" battery mode before bed, just so the tilt to wake feature doesn't drain the battery. I also recommend if you get one with a metal band, DEFINITELY buy a silcone band for sleep and workouts - much more comfortable! I bought this one - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1ZB261/ref=twister_B01NAQ68T8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - and I absolutely love it, super comfortable and feels like butter on your wrist.

In regards to fitness tracking, I've been a bit of a bum lately and haven't used it for fitness tracking, but I'm sure it will be fine. I do yoga, run, and will be starting some HIIT, but I dont think it would be an issue at all in regards to comfort. I can't really provide any case use stats for that though.

In regards to charging speed it can go from 8% to 100% in less than an hour, if I think it's getting a little low, I'll just plop it on the charger while I'm at work. It really charges fast, so I think even if a workout were to drain it bit more, that depending on your settings etc, you definitely could get a whole day out of it and if not, even plopping it on an extra 30 minutes here or there could make a difference, and it doesn't seem like much of a bother to me.

I hope this answered your questions! Sometimes I ramble a bit, ha ha.

I have a Huawei Watch 2 Sport and Classic, they're both great. Awesome battery life (I don't think I've ended a day with less than 50%) and they have all of the extras you might want. If you get the Classic, I highly recommend this band, it looks great and is very comfortable (no pulled hairs.)

Just picked up the Huawei Watch 2 Sport today and the default band was pretty nice (and the watch is great so far). But I switched the band out to my trusty GadgetWraps silicone band anyway, because I love that thing so much. Here's a pic!

Gotcha. Well, I really really love my huawei rose gold watch this is the one I have https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Plated-Stainless-Leather-Warranty/dp/B01DBAUXA2?th=1. I absolutely love it. I love the fitness program and being able to track it. I can see and respond to emails, facebook messages, and text messages. Don't know if this helps any but I was a pebble user than I switch to this watch and I really love it. And maybe alternative would be https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gear-S2-Smartwatch-Classic/dp/B01AJC66CO/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1502399951&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+rose+gold but only if she has a samsung phone that might be an option too.

It will work, but as you can see, it has a slotted end, rather than a straight end. The slotted ends are more suitable for ones that require them, like the Pebble Steel or the Moto 360. Otherwise, you'd be putting more pressure on a lower amount of mount points.

I'd recommend something like this instead. It's a similar look, but it has a straight end so that it would be less stressed on the mount point and, IMO, look better. I got this for my LG G Watch R and it works/looks great.

I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KD8JB7G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482524966&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=22mm+leather+watch+band.
A bit pricey, but totally worth it. It was stiff at first, but it's really comfortable now. IMO leather looks the best on this watch. You don't want to go with some cheapo band that will break and destroy your ZenWatch.

If you really want rubber, I've heard good things about these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01ASOB8L2/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482525093&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=22mm+watch+band&dpPl=1&dpID=51-c5yRfnnL&ref=plSrch but haven't used them personally.

While driving a motorcycle, the one thing that is probably more distracting than using a smartphone is lifting both hands, look at that itsy bitsy tini wini little screen and trying to hit anything useful with your fingers covered by motorcycle gloves.

You would need at least a smartwatch with enough proper buttons to do something useful with it. Pebbles are dying, the only other option that comes to my mind is perhaps a Samsung Gear S model, that rotating bezels should come in handy. (Might end deadly anyway.)

If you really just want to change tracks, there is another much cheaper and better solution: Get a bluetooth remote like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0 so you can easily fix it on your motorcycle. (Perhaps search for a water-resistant version or cover it so it doesn't get wet. Just search for "bluetooth remote" on Amazon or other sites.)

It's this one. I have it too and it's fine. Not too much wear or any paint chipping as far as I can tell, but it does feel cheap. Also the clasp is easy to unlock and I've done it multiple times just by accidentally pushing it against my jacket. However I have the G Watch and I'm pretty confident the bracelet will last longer than the watch is supported so w/e.

Link to the band: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKYCAGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Interesting note: I don't have small wrists, but I had to remove all extra links and move the clasp "adjustment" to the smaller setting to get it to fit on my wrist.... This band is meant for people with pretty big wrists I guess...

Band is nice though... so far. Only had it on there for a couple of days, so the jury is still out.

Any questions on the band or whatever, let me know.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWWBE

Some reviews say theirs broke... but mine has been great. I was not expecting how much lighter it is than the link band was. Makes the watch a lot more comfortable to wear.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKYC7TK/

That's the band. Looks great online, great price, some mediocre reviews even on this sub, but here's what most don't tell you: it takes a month or more to arrive, mine came in with lots of scuff marks before I even wore it for the first time (thin paint, scuffs off to reveal silver metal below), many of the links are stiff to the point of being uncomfortable... I'm trying to see if they'll send me another, but no reply as of yet. Altogether, pretty much what I'd expect from a $15 band. Some are happy though, so I don't want to bash it too hard.

I am really happy with it so far. It looks far more sophisticated than the rubber band. It makes the watch easier to take on/off. Also, the band was relatively cheap!

I've found I like to have a variety of bands on hand for my watches. I found this 22mm band at Walmart and adapted it to the buckle that came with the Zenwatch. I don't believe the black one on Asus' site is currently offered so if you want a black one that closely matches it, you could find a smooth black leather band and use this process to attach the buckle your watch came with.

If you're interested in a stainless band, I really like this 22mm Hadley Roma Stainless band I found on Esslinger.com for $22. Just make sure you have a pin pushing tool so you can adjust the links on it! This spring bar tool I bought includes a set of pins that worked

EDIT: after taking another look, it seems that band isn't carried on Esslinger anymore :(

I went with black, with metal band. After wearing it a few days, I decided it was a bit too heavy for every day use, so I bought a magnetic black stainless steel loop band on amazon. It's great. Plus now I have a nice dress band for special occasions.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0178KWWBE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aZBqxb1ZX9QG6

Not sure about the Gen 2 band on the Gen 3 but any 22mm band without the part that touches the body of the watch (End link) should work. I switch between the metal and leather band on my Gen 3 all the time.

The Charger is the same as the Gen 2 Charger, seems to be an online only thing though. I also confirmed this with the Fossil Online support. Best Buy or Fossil have them for around $25. I also bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0184AL628/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works but it heats up the watch a lot so I ordered the Gen 2 Charger from Fossil.

I'm liking the ZenWatch 2. I like the square design and the battery life is alright. Plus it's super cheap.

Wow thats perfect i had no idea such things existed until now. Thanks much!

Awesome dock! The strap is a great one for the LG G Watch R and also available on Amazon w/ Prime

Found it on excellent webshop, but not sure where it ships from. With the LG G Watch, it is made to fit any 22mm watch bands. I found a similar one on amazon that will fit.

I bought this black/dark charcoal metal band back in March of last year for like 10 bucks and it has held up extremely well. I have two small spots that show wear but you really couldn't see it unless your eyes are an inch or two away.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKYC7TK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I also have a brushed charcoal skin for my g watch so it matches almost perfectly.

It's not a prime day deal, but I'm looking at getting the Galaxy Fit E. It's a cheap basic fitness tracker, but it sounds like it has a long battery life, swim proof, and notifications (but no reply). It's only $50, but it's only available from Amazon (international version since it's not sold in the US technically).

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Pedometer-Resistance-MIL-STD-810G-Bluetooth/dp/B07R5VJ2BP/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=galaxy+fit&qid=1563292829&s=gateway&sr=8-4
I didn't notice your phone until after I found the link, so you'll be locked into Samsung Health app, I believe.

Yeah that's a pretty good price. If you want a speaker on your watch though for taking/making calls you can get the ZenWatch 2 for the same price and its new instead of refurbished http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Smartwatch-Retail-Packaging-Silver/dp/B01F28LIDC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463972277&sr=8-3&keywords=asus+zenwatch+2

Yes. Barely. I ended up buying two of these watch bands to make one that would fit me comfortably. I only needed two links from the second band.

It's just Amazons way of getting you the product fastest. Go to more sellers and order it directly from Amazon. Or just go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B013LKLIB0/ref=olp_f_new?ie=UTF8&f_new=true&f_primeEligible=true link.

Add the official Amazon one in your cart for $164, you may just have to wait a couple of extra days to get it. It's also possible they will cancel the order, but this is the best option.

Looks like it is on sale on Amazon Prime as well for $199:

EDIT: Looks like it is only for the Stainless Steel witl black leather model

It was a £10 one from Amazon. Changing it is the same as a regular watch - it's best using a spring bar tool (although I'm sure it's possible without).

If you don't want to do it yourself, you can ask for a jewelry shop. They'll charge, but you have to buy a special tool anyway (I opted to do it myself as I don't have time to visit a store for a while).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EEP5WI/


The best solution I've found so far.

I got it for $18.99 from Amazon. It comes with the tool as well. Great deal.

H Watch is nowhere close to $400 anymore. I'm pretty sure the average starting price is $250 now.

$245 on Amazon

Stainless Steel Mesh is at $280

Thanks. I found that but that was last updated in March. So thats really my only options then?

And if I am looking that up correctly it looks like this watch is the cheapest option? https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Watch-Black-Stainless-Warranty/dp/B013LKLI9C/ref=sr_1_2?s=wearable-tech&ie=UTF8&qid=1496765725&sr=1-2&keywords=Huawei+Watch+2

I did a search for the Huawei Watch 2 and thats what came up though the page doesnt identify it as the#2

I have this one on my silver Hwatch 1 and it's been great!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DKYC7TK?cache=dd8462ed8cb6085647ec39a5c4210c74&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1409357851&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I have this one and it's great

https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Watch-Stainless-Steel-Warranty/dp/B013LKLIB0?th=1&psc=1

This ships to Brisbane and is the cheapest I've seen new after the conversion.

I've seen a few watches ship here from Amazon recently. The urbane 2 special posted on here the other day did too.

Was it like this one?

Yes it was new, and it was Prime. I just checked and it is still available, though it says "in stock April 17." This is the stainless steel with black leather strap: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B013LKLIB0/55467

[It already looks like it's dropped in price some (but not much).] (https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Stainless-Suture-Leather-Warranty/dp/B013LKLIB0%3Fpsc%3D1%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAICE7LOAJMK3SSLPA%26tag%3Dpcm_contextual-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB013LKLIB0%26ascsubtag%3Dda80aac3-6041-482c-b6af-d6e753d6b6c5)

This has held up very well for me and since you have a G watch R you won't have that gap in the watch band where it connects to the watch.

http://www.amazon.com/Ritche-Stainless-Steel-Bracelet-Straight/dp/B00DKYC7TK/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1419896312&sr=1-1

A cheap solution would be a remote control for your phone that can sit on your desk

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_.DSxCb8XK2P5Z

Or google "bluetooth mobile remote control"

Or get headphones with built in controls

This is the skin and this is the watch band that I used. I wouldn't recommend getting that particular watch band because it came with small scratches on it and it seems like that's common based on the other reviews.

I grabbed a G Watch on cyber Monday but there were only white ones left. Replaced it with a black leather band with white stitching from Amazon.

>The Zenwatch 2 doesn't count since it seems to already be discontinued, at least in the UK.

Technically, only one model of the Zenwatch 2 is discontinued. The newer model is doing fine.

ZenWatch 2 is $129.99 (USD) on amazon.

The Huawei Watch is on sale today on Amazon. New for $199

Not sure how varied these posts can be....lol. But I'm using Calculator, Android Wear Flashlight, Keep, Music Boss, Mini Maps, and Find My Phone. Also just ordered this watchband for my G Watch.

Using Textra for my sms. It's okay so far unless you get more than one text.....then it only shows a brief snippet of each on one card.

I've got the G Watch with one of these puppies in the mail. Using Helvetia watch face (looks better than most custom faces I've seen, and most custom faces still destroy my battery compared to stock ones).

Wear Mini Launcher, Runtastic, Calculator.

I use it mainly for notifications, time, and oh my god is this thing a godsend when it comes to running.

You need a spring bar tool, you can use a screwdriver but this makes it so much easier. https://www.amazon.com/GGI-Watch-Repair-Spring-Tool/dp/B005ZEWGSA/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1518569432&sr=8-8&keywords=watch+removal+tool

This one is for around 80$. is this legit? I sent the person an email asking for more information. Feels like a scam :(

I have this one and another one that is very similar to this one. The first one I found to be...janky. The release was loose and would make a weird rattling sound, and the link bars (to remove links) are very cheap. The other one I have is not the same as the one linked, but similar in style, I am currently using the second one, the first just felt loose and cheap.
