There is a thread for that already, so I must close this one :)

Enjoy your journey on XDA.

That's cool cheers will be looking into these when I get mine back from Sony

Official Sony Smartwatch 2 watch bands are now available for preorder at Mobile Fun.

This brown leather one is my fave Link

Black leather

Purple silicone

Pink silicone

Yellow silicone
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
i wish they made a leather variant of how the silicon version looks, less "edgy"

something like this, but with buckle ofcourse
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ScottXe:
Do we need screen protector? I believe it is a mineral glass like the normal watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Adso3000:
You obviously haven't actually touched one, have you? This is your regular type mobile phone "glass". It flexes. Feels just like on my Note 2, but seems flimsier when you tap it with your finger. Even if it was as strong as Gorilla Glass, people still put screen protectors on those, as they can't handle hard stuff like sand and gravel. Also, it's a watch. You'll slam it into something eventually, more likely quite frequently. Nowhere do Sony advertise the screen material. A few places it says scratch resistant. If it was tough, like Gorilla Glass (with its inherent weaknesses), Sony, like Samsung, would use it in their advertisement. ;) I've ordered atFolix screen protectors on amazon.de (slightly cheaper than amazon.co.uk, for some reason, shipping to Denmark. I ordered it 2 months ago, got auto-cancelled due to some 30 day policy thing, so reordered. They keep postponing it over and over again. If it continues like this, I wonder if I'll even have it before Christmas. If you're in the US, consider Skinomi Techskin or iLLumiShield, which are both good from reviews I've read, but shipping to Europe is $17! Hence the "if you're in the US" comment ;)

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

I've read several reviews saying Savvies is a crap brand. ILLumiShield I would have ordered already, if shipping to Europe wasn't' $17 :( I went for atFolix instead, but I think they and iLLumiShield are comparable.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ScottXe:
Thanks for your detail explanation. I have been using it for 2 weeks. I may get one if I can get it since SSW2 is not popular as iPhone or Samsung SG2/3/4 phones. Getting accessories would not be so easy. For your info, do not buy Skinomi screen protector as the material is too soft. It is unsuitable for writing something on it. I bought it for Samsung ATIV 700 tablet pc and the friction is too much and gave up.

just ordered Vikuiti DQCM30 screen protector by 3M for Sony Smartwatch 2:

Just Receive the screen protector . Good protection but too small...

[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Cool looks good - managed to find it on Amazon.com here but is it really worth $13.95? Not cheap... Maybe they'll release a tempered glass screen protector. That would be ideal.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
What do you guys think of this fake wood full body skin for the Sony Smartwatch 2? Nice idea although I'm not sure what it'll look like in person.

Just pasted the DataFlex Hi Resolution Anti-Finger Print SP on my SmartWatch 2.

This SP combines the 2 properties of Crystal Clear Hi Resolution Image Display and Anti-Finger Print on the SP Surface, I truly love this SP which I have it on my previous phones and now I apply it on my Xperia Z1.

Price for the SP on my SmartWatch 2 is very expensive which is SGD $15 but I am not going to remove it till I change to the next generation of SmartWatch.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] DroidToyiu:
Stock Metal Strap

Anyone know if it is possible to order the metal variant of the stock watch strap without ordering the entire device? I recently purchased the silicon version, and decided I would prefer metal. Sadly the company I bought it from refuses to refund, and most of the other 24mm metal bands I like are either way too expensive or impossible to find.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Sorry I haven't been able to find the original Sony metal band anywhere.

Been looking for some metal watchband alternatives and found this one:

Black PVD Heavy Stainless Steel Mesh Diver watch band

Otherwise you might be able to buy this cheap $7 watch and use the metal band from it - link.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Dusty Rhodes:
For an idea of how much the OEM metal band is worth...

http://www.strapcode.com/store/24mm...watch-band-divers-extension-clasp-p-1933.html

I think I'm going to suck it up and get the Type II in black

http://www.strapcode.com/store/24mm...ight-watch-band-push-button-black-p-1927.html

Expensive... Yes. But selling my currently too small metal band will offset the price a bit.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Pandaownz:
Im wondering who will be the smartwatch king....
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Wow that price is ridiculously expensive! The same price as the watch! But good find on that site though.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mathiosn:
If anyone out there has an old MBW-150 Executive try removing the watchband and putting it on the new smartwatch that's what I did. it looks quite good it has a 24mm fitting
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Nice looks good!

I had to look up what a 'MBW-150' was - for those like me who don't know see here
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Ycb04:
That strap looks exactly like the one on my addidas watch lol
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Trahald:
Hello, how is the thickness of screen protector? Is it thick enough to see when you look at the watch? I am looking for something protective but also thin.

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] chongbh:
Yes, it is a thin as normal screen protector and when you look at the watch, you will not even notice that there is Screen Protector till you look closely.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] mghtymse007:
Great Alternative Band for SW2.... and one FOR SALE too!!!

IMHO, I think with the watch's size, this band gives it a more custom look:

this guy makes these custom to you and is on eBay, "Tactical...something... let me know if you want the link.

I bought this off of eBay. It's 24mm. Super heavy black pvd. Brand new, never worn. Makes watch look very "executive" . Great band, just not my style. Paid $60 shipped. Will ship USPS priority to first $50.

BTW, sorry for crappy pix, just changed my ONE to GPE. having trouble getting sensecam.apk to install. Arg!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
yeah i want the link, i have an idea for a watch band i hope he can make
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
This is kind of what you're after except in a watch band version. Link. The guy on Amazon customises them too
[Sony Smartwatch 2] lanusb:
do we really need a screen protector??
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Trahald:
It is up to your living style. For me, I really need screen protector. Because I keep hitting my all watches to the walls all the time :). This watch has scratch resistant but doesn't have gorilla glass. So you might think to put on screen protector. I have never used screen protector before for my other electronics but this time I have applied to my watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Looks like the black and brown leather Sony watchbands are now available on Amazon link

edit: I didnt realise it isnt genuine leather its (PU) leather.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] synplex:
Where did you order it from? Did it fit your sw2 perfectly or was it a little small?

Can you post a Link.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
ordered a black leather strap (meant for Bell & Ross watch), will post a picture when i get it (hoping it fits the watch)

really hate the metal strap
[Sony Smartwatch 2] BBowermaster:
Why do you hate the metal strap?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
just feels uncomfortable

also it looks all square, the band i ordered looks more like the silicon band, which matches the watch better, imho
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
fits the watch well i think, very light too, compared to the metal strap

what do you guys think?

oh and the weight difference is substantial, just measured it

47grams for the watch + leather strap, 105 grams for just the metal band and that's with 2 links removed
[Sony Smartwatch 2] zorro18888:
It's exp but i like it!

Its the closet to the Sony metal strap. If only it was cheaper....sigh
[Sony Smartwatch 2] flow1:
It's very nice and confortable!
[Sony Smartwatch 2] shayan_boss:
wow..last one is so wonderful..where can i fine one of them???

[Sony Smartwatch 2] mathiosn:
I got this wristband off eBay from a Chinese seller, very good and heavy brushed mat finished for about 15 euro. I love it, at first I was cautious because I don't really trust Chinese sellers but he had a good feedback. take a look for yourselves

[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
I just got my brand new replacement SW2 before Christmas after the first one I had died and I scratched the screen somehow :(

Which screen protectors have people tried and recommend?

I'm thinking the illumishield given that people say Savvies are crap and the 3M one is too small.

Any others worth considering?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] yomiguy:
I'm using this one which was recommended by other user in this forum and fits perfectly on the screen and looks good quality!

Has anybody seen a glass screen protector for the watch?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] funkdoobi:
thought i'd share my bell & ross strap with you guys. It really classes the watch up and makes a world of difference. Two straps ran me $100, free shipping for those of you in the united states once you go over $100 too.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] Nomad1600:
Just adding a vote for Illumishield as a screen protector. Fit perfectly, very easy to install (dry install, just avoid touching the screen or "adhesive" side of protector when applying) and very easy to position and install on the screen. No bubbles, used my fingers to finalize the position and remove any air bubbles. Can't even see it on the watch, same glass smooth feel. Have two more in case I ever need to remove and replace. Even reasonably priced ($8.44 shipped).
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TXEvo:
Can you take any pics of it on your wrist man.. I like the way these fit and being able to use custom straps for it was the deciding factor between the Galaxy Gear and the SMW2 I dont need a effing camera on a watch, or at least not on the strap.

Voice command would be stellar but not required. I just want to be able to check things while my phone is in my pocket and such...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TXEvo:
I have officially ordered my Illumishield x3 and The B and R Bands Black Leather band.. I have a metal version and I personally dont mind it but I like the Silicon band for it minimizes the sqaureness of the watch... Got my SW2 at Bestbuy for $149.99. Not sure about all stores but my best buy mobile had it for $149.99.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
check page 4 of this topic, i bought the same band, does need a week or 2 to get a bit more flexible but it's fine after that
[Sony Smartwatch 2] TXEvo:
Thanks man... Okay ya I saw those pics. Looks great and cannot wait to ditch the metal band TBH... for the leather, did you try using some baseball glove break in cream or conditioner. I have used it with a few of my leather products including shoes, boots, watch straps and of course softball gloves and they work great to soften, waterproof and condition the leather.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
nope, but thanks for the tip :)

i bent the strap back back and forth a number of times to get rid of most of the stiffness, wearing it took care of the rest

i really hope i can get used to the silicone strap of the HOT Watch, since it's not replaceable...
[Sony Smartwatch 2] Nomad1600:
How do you like the Hot watch? I was looking at that but didn't want to wait.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] JarlSX:
it's not available yet, and there was another delay because they didn't manage to get enough produced before CNY

the waiting sucks, but i'm expecting i'll like the HOT Watch a whole lot more
[Sony Smartwatch 2] dabizstan:
I received mine yesterday

What do you think? From eBay
[Sony Smartwatch 2] lambstone:
Well. I think its really fugly. But that's just simply my opinion.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] kill_dano:
Added that carbon fiber skin. It's pretty sexy. It also came with a good screen protector.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] antilis:
Where did you get it?
[Sony Smartwatch 2] kill_dano:
Amazon. It's the skinomi one from the OP
[Sony Smartwatch 2] julz:
Looks good! Fits on quite nicely without any gaps. Let us know how it goes in terms of staying on over time.

Edit: After having another look at the photo on Amazon here - I think it looks better on your watch in real life. The Amazon picture looks as if it doesn't fit that well.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] zippy01:
Does anyone have an original Genuine metal strap for sale?

Maybe they bought a silicone or another type of strap and have one lying around :)

Hi Zippy, I have the original black metal band that came with mine. Only used it for a day before I took it off. I would be willing to sell it to you if interested.

Send me a pm with your email address, I can take pictures and we can discuss a price.

Thanks!

Where would/how would one go about selling the metal band? Also, has anyone put this on a NATO/Zulu style band? I'm interested in using it for workouts.

...do you know a bumper case like this but cheaper?

Reg,

FB
[Sony Smartwatch 2] LucKyPunk:
I'd be weary of wrapping the casing which is already metal in any kind of metal. Chances are your BT reception will be greatly diminished, which could lead to increased battery consumption. Also considering the price of the watch, I'm not sure anything like that would be worth it.

Just my .02

I agree with what you said, I also did not want a metallic bumper, just gave an example type, I would prefer plastic bumper, that would be so much cheaper...but not find aby where...

[Sony Smartwatch 2] necr0manser:
Hard case ?

Have anyone been looking for a hard case? What do you guys think about this site - http://thephatch.com/product/sony-smartwatch-2-sw2-protective-cover-black/

I'm kind of uncertain about buying it online. Looks like fake.
[Sony Smartwatch 2] ngoonee:
Protect it from what exactly? That case seems pointless to me. Your wrist isn't exactly going to be under a lot of physical danger in most cases, and unlike a smartphone I've never dropped my smartwatch.

The picture looks 3d printed to me, as well. Dodgy website.

Actually, if you DO have a 3d printer (I have access to one myself) you could print that out for kicks. Would give a new look to the watch, but I don't think you'll notice any real benefit protection wise. I've banged mine into countless doors, it's still kicking with nary a scratch. The smaller it is the harder it is to break it.
