Reddit mentions: The best smartwatch bands

So before this, I decided to hop into the "fitness/smart" watch scene... But since I didn't want to spend a ton, I waited until I could get a Versa for less than Retail, and actually ended up getting it for $130 Iirc at Kohl's maybe 10 Days after they first got them in.

The Versa was a GREAT intro into this world (in my opinion at least), but I knew I wanted to upgrade to something better. I'd been checking out stuff from Garmin for a while (after someone I know was talking about how much they love their new Fenix (5 Sapphire? I think. Something similar)), but the prices for the nicer options just weren't going to work out with all of the current and future medical co-pays and other bills that'll be coming in.

Ah, and I'm an Android user... So no Apple Watch... 🤷‍♂️

ANYWAYS - I saw an Ad for the Active2, and after a lot of research I was all in. Soon after I did pre-order for the 40mm (Non-LTE) Active2, plus that 10,000mAh Wireless Power Bank that came free with all pre-orders.

I fucking LOVE this thing.
I got a Rose Gold Magnetic Stainless Band for the Versa, and Gifted it to my Mother who I've been meeting up with to exercise 1-2x a week... And she loves it. She just wanted something easy, straight forward etc etc.

I bought a bunch of Bands on Amazon, knowing I'd return most... And chose one Leather Band (pictured) and one Black Magnetic Stainless Band that I really like. The rest will be taken to Kohl's next week.

I do have TWO QUESTIONS I'm hoping someone can help me out with...

1. One major reason I got this watch was to Monitor my HR... I have AFIB and really liked the idea of setting limits. I have them set, but all that's happened is that the heart on my watch-face turns red. No Vibration at all. I feel like I'm missing something right in front of my face... But can't find it. Is there even an option TO do this? They sure made it sound like it 🤷‍♂️
   
   
2. Does anybody have a suggestion for a BLACK ANALOG Watch Face that's Minimalistic, but actually shows my live HR reading. Shit, maybe even one you can change the color of the hands on or whatever...? I'm more than happy to pay for it if it's worth it.
   
   Thank you in advance for anybody who has recommendations! I really do appreciate any and all advice!
   
   SO happy to be part of this Samsung Watch family 👌😎
   
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Oh, almost forgot... For anybody that wants to know which bands I decided on...
   
   [LEATHER] - V-MORO (Black) Leather Band:
   https://www.amazon.com/V-MORO-Leather-Compatible-Stainless-Samsung/dp/B07MZJ56QS
   
   [MAGNETIC SS] - KOREDA (Black) SS Mesh Band:
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SDFLS6V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_p8sODbPSY0FQB
   
   Absolutely recommended both of them for the price...!
   I recommend the Koreda Band all day long at any price! The V-MORO Band's clasp does feel a bit cheap, but it looks quite nice on wrist.

• TLDR: See title, strap from www.strappingfellow.com, adapter from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GKS3Z2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
  
  
• What I sought in a strap: I really care about quality leather (belt, wallet, shoes are all carefully chosen). I’m willing to pay for it, but I think the Apple leather bands are not good. Enjoy yours if you have one, I’m just some guy on the internet, but the quality to cost ratio on those Apple’s leather bands would offend me if I wasn’t so cynical. I don’t know a ton about leather, but I’ve learned that Shell Cordovan is some of the best in the world, produced in the US. I started researching Shell Cordovan straps that would fit my watch (42mm face, so 24mm band imo). Long story short, when I found strappingfellow.com, it was obvious that this was by far the best bang for your buck. If you’re ready to spend somewhere in the range of $80-$140 on an ideal leather strap, you can either get pretty nice choices that are mass produced, or you can get this customized and tailored perfection from a dude in Virginia.
  
  
• Experience: I exchanged several emails with the artisan/proprietor - Sky - about what I’d like and what options were on the table. He was very responsive and flexible, wasn’t locked into just the set choices listed on the website, and was ready to use the ingredients at his disposal to make whatever strap I wanted. There were plenty of options to choose from, all very tasteful. In the end, I placed the order with the following description (copied from the email):
  
  -- Black Shell Cordovan
  
  -- With taper (I'm not sure if a 2, 3 or 4 mm taper would be best with such a wide strap. You're the pro, I'll trust your judgment)
  
  -- Gray threading
  
  -- Stainless steel buckle
  
  -- 24mm
  
  -- Wrist measurement: 6 and 7/8ths inches (see attached pic to be certain)
  
  -- Bar to bar measurement: bar begins at 1 and 13/16ths and ends at 1 and 14/16ths (see attached pic to be certain)
  
  -- No leather backing
  
  
• Look/Feel: Exactly what I ordered and hoped for. I took detailed pictures, hopefully they accurately express that this thing just fits perfectly and is truly top quality leather. I only realized after it arrived: because it’s tailored to your wrist, there’s a small amount of slack left on the strap, you only need one “belt loop” to contain that slack. A pleasant surprise.
  
  

• Cost/Delivery: I got a bit of a discount because I used a coupon code, so I don’t want to list what I paid so that no one gets the wrong expectations, but I paid around $100. It took about two weeks from order to arrival. I got this discount code for 15% off with my order that you all are welcome to use: "104" (full disclosure: I get like 15% rebate if people use this code). Note that it comes with a “1-year 100% satisfaction guarantee."
  
  Happy to answer questions or get more pics.

I grabbed one for 20 bucks off Amazon. We'll see what happens when it gets here, but from what I could research it is among the best of the near-clones.

Link I think we can safely assume the scratch resistance won't be anywhere near the same league, but I'll be happy with "somewhat decent" for the price.

Edit: I didn't get this one, but it looks like it might be as good or better from a "lookalike" perspective. I just liked the black of the other band.

Edit 2: Lol downvotes for helping people out. Never change r/Apple. XD

So I know this won't be for everyone but browsing amazon I came across this and figured it'd work great for me. I love the look of leather bands but wearing them gives me some skin irritation problems. The material is super soft and flexible. Fits great and really comfortable. Thought I'd share for anyone else interested.

I just received the MOKO stainless link band in Space Grey -

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JP6FU78/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I chose this one because it seemed that most other sellers/makers offer a black option but not a grey option. It's not a perfect match, but I don't really notice it unless I look really close. Might prefer black now that I try it out.

Here are a couple photos of it on my arm. It's immediately clear that the build is NOT the same as the Apple version (at $23 vs $550 I would expect as much) and that's mostly visible in the different clasp and the larger gaps betwen links. Particularly at the end links the gap is significant and a bit distracting. It's a little tight on my wrist in this photo, I may insert one more link and see if that relaxes the gaps a little bit.

I also notice there are 3 "ripples" on the lugs where they attach to the watch. Artifacts of the lug mechanism construction, I'm sure.

In any case, I think it's plenty "solid" in its build, but it's not perfect. The Apple version is a much more complicated and tightly machined piece of work to make such a flawless and clean look, but if you just want something that looks and feels similar, to dress up your watch a bit, it's probably perfectly fine.

EDIT: I'm looking on Amazon and noticing that there appear to be two different MOKO versions of this band, mine has a much simpler clasp that doesn't look at all like the Apple clasp, but there is another one that's $2 more which has a clasp design much closer to Apple's. I'd definitely lean toward that one if you're inclined to get one of these.

If you want to check out the steel mesh look, which I personally find the most comfortable and stylish, do what I did: just order the Huawei Watch with the standard leather band (which is actually pretty nice to be honest, I swap back to it sometimes) and then order yourself a good aftermarket band. I got this one and I'm absolutely loving it. $23, looks and feels great, easy to adjust with a strong magnet instead of a latch.

18mm Magnetic Milanese Loop Stainless Steel Magnet Closure Lock Bracelet Strap Band For Huawei Watch 2015 (YESOO Retail Packaging - 180 Days Warranty) (Loop Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0178KWW3C/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_1j76wbD2FJ0R7

That's my experience, as well. Its integration is much cleaner than the Pebble's integration, and since I'm getting ~34 hours out of the battery on the Apple Watch, it's good enough.

I'm currently using this case with it; I've ordered this waterpoof case and will switch to it when it arrives. One of my few gripes about the Apple Watch is the fact that it isn't waterproof; I've forgotten that it was on my wrist and showered with it a couple of times, and then obsessively toweled it off, praying that I didn't get water inside it (so far, it's OK).

The notification integration is really slick. When I'm wearing the watch, it's smart enough to automagically limit most notifications (except an incoming call) to the watch in vibrate mode, and to not make any audible alerts on the phone, even though the ringer switch is enabled. One can alter this, if one likes, but it suits me perfectly.

The volume on the 'Dick Tracy mode' phone audio speaker should be louder, IMHO. And I'm hoping for longer battery life, inherent waterproofing, and wireless charging (so I can leave it on my wrist when I'm sleeping; silent vibrating alarms/alerts are very nice, so that I don't wake my girlfriend up when I get a late-night call, or when I must wake up early) in the next version.

Quick SMS and IM replies from my wrist are very helpful, when I'm out and about. I haven't yet used the Siri dictation, but have defined a number of canned replies, and so far, those have sufficed.

Overall, it's quite useful even as a first-gen Apple product, and I'm glad I have it.

I haven't tried this one in particular but I just bought a similar style band (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D76KDSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I've been pleasantly surprised. It has a silicon interior to help keep sweat away from the leather and it's pretty comfortable - not overly bulky and rigid like another one I tried. I've only been wearing it for a couple of weeks but it still looks great.

The black/gray is sold out here, but I've seen Hadley Roma bands on eBay too. I used to have a Hadley Roma silicone band on my Pebble and loved it. This band is great too, but it is thick and appears to be two nylon bands on top of each other, but it was very well done and no one would ever notice.

I researched adapters for a while and was nervous since I heard mixed reviews about all of them. But, I love this adapter. Even apple doesn't match the color of the space gray watch on their black woven nylon band, so I wasn't too worried about that. I like the color of this adapter and it doesn't stand out too much. It fits perfectly on the apple watch and it's very tight and has never came loose.

Watchband: 22MM Magnetic Milanese Loop Stainless Steel
Watchface: N/A
Review: Credit: /u/nikitaostr420

The magnetic milanese strap is extremely high quality. It matches the color of the Huawei watch perfectly, and makes the watch look like a million bucks.
The magnet is pretty strong, and is keeping the watch tightly on my wrist no matter how hard I shake or swing my arms.
I like that there is not any branding on the stap, makes it look much cleaner than the Hoco bands.
The mesh is identical to that of the apple watch milanese band, and that is a definite plus. It is in fact the soft mesh, not the tough mesh that comes on the milanese bands with a buckle.
My only Con, and it is by no means enough to even remove half a star, is that the band is a little difficult to apply to the watch. Firstly, the little release sticks that hold the strap to the watch are a little thicker than they need to be, so it takes some force to get them in. After that you must make sure that they are perfectly centered in the strap, if not it will appear that the strap is too wide for the watch...it is not. If centered perfectly, the part of the strap that connects to the top of the watch is easy, connecting the second one is tricker, however if you position your fingers in just the right spot to pull back the release bar until you can get the pins in the holes, you are golden.

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.)

Current favorites are:

• Nomad Modern Strap (I already own it in brown and the slate gray version just shipped today)
  
• If you want a cheaper leather band (not as wide as those above), you can search for "Mifa" on Amazon. They come in black , brown, and gray and are good for the money. Just got one in black silicone with a layer of brown leather on top that looks nice with the black outlining the brown.
  
• Juuk Ligero is my go-to metal band (Cosmic Gray matches the watch almost perfectly)
  
• Carterjett's NATO bands (you'll find these on Amazon, and they come in various colors in nylon as well as black and brown leather)
  
• Apple's sport bands (I've got three: black, gray, and white)
  
• A few knockoff sport bands (silicone) in colors that I like but only work out in, so I'm not willing to spend the cash for the genuine sport bands. You can get these on Amazon or AliExpress.
  
  I own a lot of bands. It's become an addiction. Please send help.

I have this one in Space Gray on my 1st Gen 38 mm and absolutely love it. Was a little skeptical when I first bought it just cause the brand seemed a bit sketchy but the quality is awesome and it looks amazing! Have had it for over a year now.

Unsure if it was suggested but take the strap off and put it down your bra. Probably the outside of the cup, would work best. Try it around where you live doing little tasks to see if it stays in place, and tracks steps. I guess putting it in the middle would make it more likely to move and/or fall out.

A man giving a woman advice on the best place to put an Apple Watch in her bra. This is the weirdest thing.

I'm interested in the same, and have been looking at many options for the past weeks. I finally just ordered the Luvvitt adapters that are pretty well recommended (http://amzn.com/B015GMZG82), and a Hadley-Roma 24mm leather strap that I like the looks of and has good feedback: http://amzn.com/B002EEP5WS.

I would stay away from imitation Nike bands, personally. There's been a few reports on here where black paint is already starting to peel (after just weeks!) leaving the whole band looking like bright neon.

I have had my JETech milanese loop band for a few months and it's holding up so far.

The Moko link band comes highly recommended here.

For leather bands, I would stick with a manufacturer like Monowear or Clockwork Synergy (at least at Amazon) instead of a chinese knock-off of "Hermes". You're extremely likely to get more for your money and a better band in almost every aspect.

I ordered this leather band and really love it so far. It looks great, and is very comfortable:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011IH9TEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also ordered this metal band. It seems very solid. My only gripe is that it does not have micro-adjustments and is a smidge too tight for my particular wrist. Adding in one more link makes it far too loose:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZIMK1TA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I googled and found that in the $80+ range. For less than 1/4 the price you can get a similar look here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG08BY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have that one in black for my Frontier and it's terrific. I prefer the band look overall to yours, and has a similar hidden clasp. Just offering this up for others looking for this type of band, definitely not a criticism of your purchase. It's great of you to share your option!

The clip gives you a host of options. https://www.amazon.com/Clipi-Spring-Accessory-Apple-Watch/dp/B077ZGWDQ7

You could clip it to a bra strap, you could clip to the inside or outside of the waist band of your skirt or pants. You could clip it inside your shirt, attache to the back side of a belt or attach to an undergarment, like tights. If you’re willing to do a little sewing you could attach a small pouch, just big enough for the watch without the band, that can be sewn just about anywhere inside a garment. Velcro attachment points would facilitate moving the pouch to different garments. Just a few ideas, after brain storming with friends. Hope you get it sorted to your benefit.

Backstory: I have been a watch guy but had no interest in a smartwatch, and actually disliked the idea of them up until fairly recently. Unfortunately, I broke my daily wear (A Nite Marquess) fairly badly, and was crushed by the wait time to get it fixed. So, I decided to give a smartwatch a try for a few months and given I'm a big Samsung guy, the Active 2 was a no brianer to match my S10. I immediately liked it and after picking up a leather band and the silver ring bezel for some accent flair, I am absolutely in love with it. I don't think I could go back to my "dumb" watches for daily use anymore.

In case you're interested, here are the Space Grey adaptors I have with my leather band. In my opinion, and from what people have told me, it looks exactly like its original. The color matches perfectly.

I have two. The Luvvitt adapter that everyone here loves, and this Wearlizer adapter. I definitely prefer the Wearlizer, but I wish it were a better match for the SGS.

Someone else recommended these and I bought them. They look great with the space black. Make sure you look at the space black ones and not the space grey! Still looking for good bands though.

Amazon

Just got this in the mail:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0178KWW3C/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazing quality! And it's a Prime product so you can get it with free two day shipping if you are a member. No branding on the magnet clasp so it looks much cleaner. You can also check out my review. Everyone else seems to be trying to get free product from these guys.

If you have a Pebble Time or Time Steel, then I recommend the Truffol steel band: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111I89LQ/

I bought the "gunmetal gray" version for my black Pebble Time Steel. It looks great, and it's very comfortable.

I have the Supcase and it is similar. It is my daily wearer and the favorite of 5 inexpensive bands I bought along with the watch when I got it in January. It is nice, comfortable and reminds me of all my G-Shocks. Highly recommended.

https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Protective-Compatible-mm-First-Generation/dp/B013H1EP3G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487769109&sr=8-1&keywords=supcase+apple+watch+42mm

I ordered one of these bands from Lake House Leathers. It's a pretty nice band and affordable.
http://www.lakehouseleathers.com/store/c14/Two-Piece_Watch_Straps.html

24mm fits the 42mm watch good. Then go an amazon and get some adapters.

or this style.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EY9TY5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_Br3Cz62Lz1x3H

I found this one and although I haven’t had it but a few days, it’s already my favorite band. And for the price, you can’t go wrong. Stitching is nice, and it seems like it will wear with time really well.

I prefer the steel band which is why I'm so happy this is on sale. Waiting for a sale and Friday is my birthday. So I got it.

Also this one on amazon has pretty good reviews and is a good price

I’ve had tons of luck buying cheap third party bands on Amazon.

Mkeke makes a leather one I use most often:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011IH9TEQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CqRSBbQ4MP9GD

Just ordered a Tirnga Milanese loop band from Amazon. First one I had has last >2 years.

So many cheap options, it’s not the end of the world to try some to see if you like them.

I know it's not the official band, but if I had a black pebble I'd definitely be looking at the Truffol band. It has quick release pins too as a bonus.

http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Truffol-Release-Android-Smartwatch/dp/B0111I8A4C/

I have this one, it's definitely a good price and is decent quality....but it scuffs a little where you rest your hand down on a hard surface. For the price you can't go wrong, though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01933657G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use two third party ones, plus the stock leather that came with my watch when I want to look fancy. Depending on my mood, I either use this metal link band:


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111I89ES/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_wBI8wbNMSRG6W

Or this silicone one:



https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019IE0V7U/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_uCI8wb9G2F5RW

I've thought about getting the TYLT, but I've heard it is way too large on an average wrist. I'm sure I'll pull the trigger eventually. The only thing that is annoying about either of those is in the metal band. The quick release pins aren't set in the links. So when I take it off of the watch, I can completely remove them from the band. Thats not really that big of an issue though. Hope that helps!

i have the black one myself. good.

It's one I designed with Watchmaker, Tasker, SharpTools (SmartThings integration with Tasker), and a few other Tasker Addons. It also pulls information via the DarkSky dev API (weather) and Google API (location) via Tasker, takes it all in, turns them into Watchmaker variables, sends them to Watchmaker and then the watch.

It is definitely not a upload and go watchface.

Here is the band: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074MDSGXL I love NATO bands, even though this one is only "Nato Style". I have thought about getting a real NATO band, and cutting a hole in it but I doubt it will allow the HR sensor to function.

I bought these 2 as well:

I like this one better, due to color: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QZBFGFT

This one is just a tiny bit lighter than the first one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D76KDSM

What kind of metal straps do you generally like? I recently posted about a milanese mesh metal band I've been wearing with my P2, which was pretty cheap, and wears well. I also generally like Truffol's 2-tone bands (see their Amazon page too). I have a Truffol band in silver (bought in advance for the PT2 that never was), but I don't use it much since it doesn't match the P2 well.

This is the one I use: Wearlizer
Better than the other kind, but the lug part is also narrower, so you just need to make sure the strap will fit.

I’ve had these for 2 years and they’re great. I believe that some people say that this type of spring bar adapter is more secure than the type of adapter that you linked.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C?psc=1&ref_=redir_mobile_desktop&ref_=ya_aw_od_pi

Its amazing good quality for the price.

You can buy any strap and just use an apple watch adapter like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011RQIIDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UOqZBb8ZX8KPB

I did this with a fossil rubber watch band and it looks great

I like how easy it is to swap, you can go from silicon to milanese in seconds. No tools. Some regular watch straps have the pins you can pull easily but not all of them, like the metal ones or else.

And I haven't seen very similar looking silicon bands to the Apple bands, Nike's either, for example.

I'd basically want the female version of this

I've seen the LUVVITT ones, but many reviews note these as slightly darker than AWS. Know of any options that are a (near-) perfect match?

You could always just buy a clasp like this one and use any appropriately sized standard-watch band.

Its this SupCase band. Super durable and relatively cheap. I work outdoors a lot and it's kept my watch looking like new for about a year now.

It doesn't look like the link works, goes straight to the Ebay home page.

I recently purchased this Milanese Magnetic Band from Amazon and I love it

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

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

I've been happy with this one:

I have the same one. It really helps the watch look more classy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721W3MJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9OaDDbBRW81VG

I got this set on Amazon back in April 2017. There aren't any screws to fall apart and I've been quite happy with them.

Not bad

I have this one myself, love it

Looks fairly identical to this one I just bought on Amazon for my first AW... #1 Best Seller apparently.

The all black Sport Band is from Apple. It came with my older S1

Just be careful with the bands that have metal buckles or clips that connect to the Apple Watch, some are known to break, especially the cheaper ones. I honestly never use the brown leather band because I’m paranoid. Just make sure you read the reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0111I89ES

I ordered this one from Amazon. It looks great on the time steel in pictures, can't wait to put it on my PT2.

I can't help but recommend the metal link bracelet from VMoro. I have had this for months and it is an awesome band and inexpensive.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721W3MJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_4BmRDbFX6XD26

Yes I don’t trust the type of band adapter he shows on that post. I like this kind of adapter better. Less likely to fail in my opinion.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011RQIIDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_PB0VCbN99ZZZ2

I saw the 6-8 week shipping time and decided to go with this Truffol instead. Glad I did, the quality is stunning.

I'm a Deputy and own a AW Series 1. I won't wear it to work with the bands it came with. I purchased

It's an awesome case for it. Have wrestled with many people and haven't had a problem. Have had it for about a year.

Absolutely love the band.

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

I did that too, although like you the AW has displace it. Did you use Nato bands? I'm thinking of trying something like this to use the old bands with the AW https://www.amazon.com/LUVVITT-Stainless-Adapter-Connector-Buckle/dp/B015GMZG82/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B015GMZG82&pd_rd_r=FTGBC226NXCCZG2AMZXH&pd_rd_w=jN0SP&pd_rd_wg=VxSMo&psc=1&refRID=FTGBC226NXCCZG2AMZXH&dpID=41pT%252BNsnjBL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

Hey bro! I'm also a firefighter, and I use the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. It basically turns the Apple Watch into a G-Shock. I absolutely love it! It's been to hell and back with me, no holds barred, and my Series 2 is still flawless. No concern at all when I use it.
The product page says "compatible with 2015 model Apple Watch", but I spoke to the manufacturer before I tried putting it on my Series 2, and their engineers had just spoken with Apple about the dimensions. It's good to go. I won't use any other case for my watch.

Personally I'm an enormous fan of the Truffol band. I have the black PTS and the black band. The black one at least doesn't look as two-toned as it does in Amazon's pictures. I have no idea how the silver one looks. This band feels like something worth a lot more than $40.

I have a Truffol one on my Frontier https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0111I89LQ/ Looks excellent.

Basically any watchband with a width of 22mm should fit just fine.

Maybe a band like this, from Truffol: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0111I89ES/

or even a generic milanese band: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361422822265?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=630782740264&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I mean, there are just so many options: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=22mm+watch+band

Considering that the Pebble Time Steel is a relatively new-shipping product(heck, a Kickstarter, still), the delay on the metal watchband is somewhat explainable.

Nevertheless, it's not really an excuse for pebble to include low-quality bands. As for the small screwheads - they're not that uncommon among metal watchbands.

For sure man! Its the hybrid leather/rubber one on amazon. I picked it up because my previous leather strap just got too worn/stiff from wearing it all the time.

My husband is also a cop and he swears by this case and a glass screen protector! Saved his watch many times!

The Pebble Time Steel's link bank AFAIK has no half-link to remove.

Your only option if you want that half-link option is to get a third-party link band; Truffol has some great antique link and two-tone metal bands.

I haven tried it, but I find this clip interesting

Thank you for this! Found one on Amazon here:

https://smile.amazon.com/Compatible-Frontier-Stainless-Bracelet-Smartwatch/dp/B0721W3MJ5

And the Trumirr one:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079NXHJ2P/

​

Some differences (from the description photos), the V-Moro has a brushed finish and quick-release pins, the Trumirr has a more flat looking finish and standard spring pins. V-Moro $22, Trumirr $18

All of these have good reviews and are inexpensive.

I've got this one and it's pretty decent:

Amazon has band adapters that let you use any "normal" band with your Apple Watch. So if you've seen a band you like on non-Apple Watches, and can find it, then you can use it on your Apple Watch.

Sure!

I have it too, exact same band I think. I like it, and this one is in stock.

You could always get a regular watch band and use an adaptor like this one.

The band width for a 42mm Apple Watch is 24mm.

I would recommend an adapter of this style if you can. They are more sturdy than the pin style and would be less prone to breaking and dropping your watch.

Band quality is excellent. I've had no issues at all. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721W3MJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_ptbRCbC3E77FD

It looks nice but is really lightweight so if that's not your thing stay away, I prefer heavier bands but I bought this back when I was still expecting my Pebble Time 2 to come mail so the return window closed.

I have a couple of these that work really well and match my black SS. I'm not sure if they're OEM or not though.

As well as the standard black band that came with it

I have one that looks the same. I got it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0721W3MJ5

I can't stand straps that don't have the curved end links. They just look out of place. This one was easy to install (uses the quick connect pins) and seems to be high quality. I've had it since around Christmas. Only complaint is no fine adjustment to size. You can only adjust by adding or removing a link.

I got a leather band from Fossil's website and some space grey adapters from Amazon

Edit: Watch band size is 22mm for a 42mm AW

I bought a refurbished hwatch from newegg a little over a month ago, but it came with the leather strap which I'm not a huge fan of. I ordered this link band from Amazon and it's been wonderful. I saw a few reviews saying it pulls your arm hair which concerned me initially, but I have fairly hairy arms and it hasn't been a problem at all in the month I've worn it. Of course YMMV but I have absolutely no complaints.

I also bought one of that same seller's silicone bands for use at the gym. Both bands get my seal of approval FWIW.

YES

the KADES Solid Stainless Steel iWatch Band Link Bracelet - does NOT slide in easily to the case. Extremely difficult to remove .


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019IO50C6?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

I use this one from Truffol with my Time Steel when I want to dress it up. It's never struck me as a jarringly different color, but there's plenty of pictures in the reviews if you want to get an idea of the match.

Amazon. Specifically these ones.

It seems to be identical to the YESOO milanese band (besides the hoco. logo) but the shipping on the amazon one doubled the price for me so I ordered the HOCO version.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C

Do note that they cheat a little bit in the pictures by using stock Huawei pictures. There is an extra metal bit where it attaches to the watch as seen in this picture.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/710eevnkjrL.jpg

I also decided to order their stainless steel link band that the OP bought. The pictures here convinced me.

Someone posted this on here not long ago, and I grabbed it. It hold a bunch, and looks nice.

Keep in mind another option is to buy your own adapter (two common styles 1, 2), then you can use literally any watch strap that's the appropriate size.

Cheapestnatostraps.com does. This strap + a pair of lugs is still cheaper than the Toms straps... just sayin'.

Adaptor

A little harder to install if you don't have a spring tool but it can be done.

Would something like this work?

Edit: I haven’t used this myself...

It's a leather look on the outside and rubber on the inside. (here)

I know that isn't Canada amazon but I would assume they have it on there too. And only 17usd so well inside your budget.

This is for Amazon.MEXICO, not sure if they use the same suppliers for the USA site.

A tachymeter is used to measure the speed of something when you know the distance its traveling.. e.g. if I know point A to B is 1 mile long and it takes X seconds to reach point B you can do some math to approximate the speed.

For me it's just a cosmetic thing since I could never remember specifically how to use it without looking it up. And I have no need for it anyways.
