That does look awesome! I have a question before I order one... do you need to also get those spring hinge things as well? or do straps usually come with them?
[Samsung Gear 2] DKYang:
It depends on the seller. I recommend just buying some in case you ever lose some. They're pretty cheap. If you don't have the handy tool that helps taking about the springs, some sellers will give you the spring bars for free on ebay.

This is coming in the mail today Amazon.com: Panerai Brown Leather Strap Pics when it happens :silly:

Argh, if anyone else was considering this strap, or anything Panerai style, I'd reconsider. I think the strap is too fat. I can't get the spring bars to stay in. Might take it to a jeweler but I dunno if this is gonna work out.

I swapped my old cheap strap and put a brushed metal wrap on it. Got it for 13 bucks i think. It looks cool though
[Samsung Gear 2] Lbovill:
I literally ordered that last night, have you had any luck because I may just refuse delivery if that is the case.
[Samsung Gear 2] cryptiq:
Yes, as a matter of fact I have. What I ended up having to do was stretch the leather slightly so the part that wraps/encases the sping bar wasn't so thick on the side that touches the watch. It was so thick that it was causing the spring bar to pop out, or maybe it was never seating properly in the first place even though it felt like it was. But as soon as I stretched it a little, it's been holding solid. I slept with the watch on in bed before trying to walk around with it just to see if it was holding up. Would rather have it fall off in bed vs. falling on a sidewalk. So far so good! As an alternative, check out the Hirsch 109002-10-22 22 -mm Genuine Calfskin Watch Strap. If I had to do it again I would probably order that one.

Here's how I fixed the band. You'll need a thin piece of metal like a screwdriver you'd use on eyeglasses...but a little stronger as I bent/ruined my screwdriver lol. In a bind you can also use a thin zip tie but it's not ideal since it won't stay straight and will cause more stress on the sides of the band and ideally you want uniform pressure. Run the metal rod of your choosing thru the spring bar loop and hold firmly with one hand. With your other hand, gently pull on the watch band with your hand close to the spring bar opening. You don't want to stretch the entire strap, just the opening for the spring bar. If gentle pulling doesn't work, be more aggressive. It's leather, it's fairly strong, but will stretch before it breaks. Also, I believe wet leather stretches more readily than dry leather, so worst case scenario I suppose you can moisten it a little but I didn't have to do that. Good luck, I think it looks great.
[Samsung Gear 2] Lbovill:
I really like the look of that strap so I am glad you have reported that you managed to make it fit. I am going to give your technique a shot and see how it works. I am looking forward to putting it all together. Thank you for the reply, it is much appreciated.
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
I went out for a new band today...

Hit up a jeweler on 16th and Champa in Denver and picked up a more... professional watchband. I like it a lot actually, I was a bit miffed as the links aren't exactly as wide as the Gear 2's face, but after install I was very happy. The clasp is very nice as well, though I think Samsung actually did an incredible job with their clasp, I just wish they hadn't went with dorky, sticky, and low-end rubber for the band. Anyway, to the pictures!
[Samsung Gear 2] cryptiq:
hey robyr, does the vibration feel any better or worse with the metallic band?
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
It is definitely not worse, but I have never had an issue with the vibration strength either. If anything, I'd say its about the same.

I personally like this watch face from the original Gear 1. Wish it was available on the G2
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
Yeah thats a slick face. I wish the "styled" faces that use a black background would just use all black instead of adding a flare or trying to look gloss. It defeats the purpose of AMOLED. Even Samsung's own faces try this stuff, and not only does it look awful, it just wastes battery.

[Samsung Gear 2] Lbovill:
Attached like a charm. Love the look of it. Makes it stand out and the brushed buckle matches perfectly. Did not have to stretch it. Just milled it out with a drill bit a hair then squished it into spot. Holds nicely.
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
That really is quite stylish. I may have to pick up a nice leather band for when I feel like switching it up.
[Samsung Gear 2] cryptiq:
Awesome, glad to hear it went well. Didn't think about drilling it out, wish I would have thought about that! I like the lighter brown, makes me wish I got that one over the dark brown.
[Samsung Gear 2] celticfdguy:
I like that!
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
You like the faux-glossy stuff? The watch already has a glass face, the gradients and crap don't really add anything, and if they would just use a flat black backdrop, you save a considerable amount of power because AMOLED doesn't need power to display black, the pixels are just off.

It's really tacky in my opinion.
[Samsung Gear 2] Lbovill:
robyr - I like the band, if I did purchase another one I would probably go with one that is not quite as thick, it gets in the way a touch on the bottom of my wrist. Also, while it may not look like it, I do not have small wrists and there was plenty of room left in this band.

cryptiq - I think stretching or drilling doesn't make much difference, in the end what I think really accomplished the feat was smooshing the leather into place physically. I was torn between the dark brown and the tan as well. I liked both equally. I wouldn't regret either choice. I hope your enjoying it. I certainly love this watch, now I just have to teach myself some coding so that I can create a watch face that I will like.
[Samsung Gear 2] highlordkram:
Why do you have to bring race into this? What does it matter if you are black or not? : ) jk
[Samsung Gear 2] Syclone2530:
Here are a couple of straps: 1 is a carbon fiber look with blue stitching and one is a grey metal band. The grey/titanium metal band has issues as it is square at the top and locks the rotation where it joins the watch. As my son has a very narrow wrist right now it has little impact...as his wrists broaden the band would have to be modified so the hinge pin hookup points grind-ed down to a round shape so the link can rotate fully.
[Samsung Gear 2] wildalan:
I just got this today what do u think guys?
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
I love that band! Great texture/color match, and perfect width! Got a model #?
[Samsung Gear 2] wildalan:
u won't believe me if i told u i got it from a kinda downtown local shop for only 10$
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
Sure I will, I got mine (seen in this thread) at a downtown jeweler and paid just under 20 for the strap :D
[Samsung Gear 2] motog35:
It's great that we have options to replace the strap, but I personally like the original black strap that comes with our watch. Curious as to why the majority of you are replacing it with another?
[Samsung Gear 2] robyr:
That rubber strap is quite nice, I'll admit. I bike-commute, and it gets very hot and sticky though. I also greatly prefer the professionalism a nice metal band puts off, as I am an integrations consultant working onsite at some high dollar tech companies. The SoCal kind where everyone drives a Bentley or other high end auto. Not good to have a WalMart look going on at Intel. Vain, but important in my line of work.

That, and the stock strap works great still as a backup or style change back in Denver.
[Samsung Gear 2] wildalan:
my reason is simply cz its tight...if it had extra allowance...just one extra hole I would never change it
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
I prefer metal straps but I also couldn't get the store demo to open up enough to fully close on my wrist. My Gear 2 is in the mail so I'll know better how it fits once I can try it on without the security attachment. I might have to do the "ball cap mod" but will probably go with a metal band most or all of the time.

Got this band at a store in the mall called "Time After Time" was about $23...... at first it didnt fit so I had to go back so they can give me short spring bars or what ever they are called that snap into the watch cuz the others were too long. I had the guy at the store install the bands. How do I get them off now? lol Not as easy without the quick release button on the bottom. gonna have to try and push with a pin and pull to take the bands off. what a work out!

Did you need to buy anything else to install this on Gear 2? Or was it just this strap?

Also, how easy was it to install?
[Samsung Gear 2] :
Nope, just got a jewler to install it for me for $10
[Samsung Gear 2] tgdinamo:
Thanks. Did you have jewler to this because links needed to be removed for sizing, or was there something special done regarding the pure attachment of strap to the watch (in terms of included spring pings not matching or something like that)?

Also, is it now simple to take this strap off or is this more or less permanently attached and you don't plan to mess with it any longer?
[Samsung Gear 2] :
Links needed to be removed and the band uses small screws not pins for the removal of the links and the only time I am going to remove it is when I sell the gear and if I can't remove it then I will just go to the jewlers again

[Samsung Gear 2] idle0095:
Don't buy the ceramic bands from android. They don't fit at all. Its not that its not the right size. 22MM. Its that the top ceramic piece is to thick and doesnt move right. It took me 1 hour to attach the band to the watch. The pins had trouble mounting in the holes. Either it needs very slim pins like 1.3 MM pins or the ceramic needs to be shaved down.

I went to some jewlers in my neighbourhood (Vienna) and asked around, but they said they could not do it - I have no idea why. So today I just tock an old watch of mine (Fossil FS-4542) took the steel strap off and mounted it on my Gear 2. The whole thing took me about 10 minutes using only a kitchen knife (with caution).
[Samsung Gear 2] :

[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
Here you go: http://www.ebay.com/sch/hklovestore/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

I find both bands comfortable and lightweight (being mesh). I find that with the size of the watch body, I feel the larger mesh matches more than the smaller mesh band, so that's what I've pretty much settled on for now.
[Samsung Gear 2] cjbajbo8:
My Neo

I Purchased the strap online at Eastern Oregon Leather Co. I placed my order on Sunday and had it in my mailbox by Friday!

All the bands are custom made to order.

I had the same issues as some people where the leather was to thick to fit between the watch and the watch pin.

This can be easily remedied by using sandpaper and rubbing off just enough leather for it to fit. kinda messy but very easy to do!!

I do loose some functionality of the watch like heart rate monitor etc.. but not something I would use anyway....

Cheapo from Wal-Mart. $15 CDN. It's a Timex replacement strap. Brushed stainless steel matches Gear 2's finish. A Bit thin but as a quick replacement for the factory plastic, it's much better.

It's the bottom one..

I will eventually get a really good one. But this cheapo is easily swapped in, looks better than factory and feels better too. Not bad for $15!

2. Cost Savings function in messages app;

3. Full Sony Entertainment Network integration (Movies, Music, Album, Play Memories).

I tried many installs, but with no look. Sometimes I get Cost Savings, sometimes i get NFC logo, but not all of them in one place. If someone is using the build, which has all these options mentioned above, please share your Customization number, or even a link with a ftf. I will smash the Thanks button for you!

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
There are no rooted FTF files available. FTFs are unmodified stock firmware packages. You will find that the prerooted roms available are in zip form and require flashing via a custom recovery.

As for restoring backups made by the Sony tool, you should be able to, as long as your backup is from the same firmware version. You cannot restore backups made on 4.2.2 on a 4.3 rom, for instance.
