[Moto 360] pretiger:
these kind of band depends on the spring bar to hold the band on the case. It will easily break the watch case because the moto360 case is plastic.
[Moto 360] funkydude101:
Sorry dumb question, but isn't that exactly how the band should be held in place? The spring bar is the only thing that connects the band to the watch. Unless you're suggesting the extra heft of these metal bands will wear down the casing which holds the spring bar? I haven't obviously opened up the moto 360 to take a look but it sort of looks like the spring bar is anchored by the metal frame, and not the plastic part.
[Moto 360] OstrichSak:
You reuse the spring bar that came out of the watch that was designed for the watch.

the champagne isn't the 22mm version, right? imo it doesn't quiet fit proportion-wise.

Vaporware guys. They were prototype's only and are not going to be made.

They discussed this back in September when they had the closed odd event in Chicago back in September.

The steel bands that started shipping this month are the official Moto 360 bands.

Fit any 22mm leather band to Moto 360 (with work)

Hey guys, I bought a leather band for my Moto online and found that it didn't fit.

How do we make it fit?

The following paragraph refers to the top of the band where it connects to the watch:

All you need to do is align your current leather Moto 360 strap with the one you want to place, note the position and size of the notch then cut out it out in the new strap, once complete cut off the corners to (by a few mm either side), this will help prevent the back cracking (refer to the diagram attached, remove the sections with a dotted line)

See image attached of the non official band on the Moto 360 and the fitting diagram.
[Moto 360] okrk:
What is this band?

Can you give details as to what this is and where to get it? I think it is the best band i have seen so far for the Moto.

Please post some more info about it.

Here it is:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PVQVIX6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love this band. I punctured my finger putting it on, but other than that it worked well. Size is perfect, looks great, easily adjustable. No brainer at $25.

I originally envisioned getting a couple different bands and changing them out monthly or so. After putting this one on, it's not something I want to be doing regularly, I know I'll be damaging it. Glad I like this band so much, it'll probably be the only band I use from here out.
[Moto 360] TanGU_:
I saw a lot of Stainless Steel bands here or leather, but is there good plastic like the first pebble ? no sweat, light as leather... anyone recommand one ?

[Moto 360] Davirez:
I love my expansion watch band! In my view, it's the only expansion band that fits design of the Moto 360. I had to do some modifications though (the infamous 'gap' at both ends). I have ordered it at Esslinger.com for just $11. It's the only shop where I could find this watch band.

Only one small thing still bothers me a bit: the ends of the band cannot move freely, because of the half-round extruding parts of the back plate above both ends. Because of this, the first link is more or less fixed and it does not join to the second link as nicely as the other links. So I am thinking about cutting off these extruding parts of the back plate, at least so far that the last link of the watch band can move more freely. Does anyone have any experience with that? Maybe I should just leave it like it is?
[Moto 360] xdatastic:
There has been talk somewhere on there forums about trimming the 'ears' of the back plate. I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

I'd almost certainly do it for your watch strap as it looks like it might crack the back. Not an easy decision to make though, as it will void any warranty.
[Moto 360] 5ive Oh:
Picked up this 2 piece "nato" nylon band. So far I love it.
[Moto 360] xdatastic:

[Moto 360] 5ive Oh:
Ranger military watch face...from the playstore
[Moto 360] Fisken:
Where did you buy the band? Looks nice!
[Moto 360] 5ive Oh:
I ordered it off ebay. It was listed as (2 piece military watch band). I got the olive 20mm band. Worked out well, just had to cut a small piece at the ended with an exacto knife for it to fit. Also, I used a watch spring tool to install it.
[Moto 360] Fisken:
Would you mind throwing a link? can't seem to find one that looks like your's. All have 2 metal "strap holder" instead of nylon and metal as your's.
[Moto 360] Rodeojones:
Posted this in the 3rd party leather bands thread in the accessories section, but I see this one is more active. I love the cuff-style bands and I had this one lying around. After a little trimming to get it to fit I think I looks perfect. And despite the leather on the back it still charges when placed on the dock.
[Moto 360] TheOriginalNelly:
Beware the Xiemin Stainless Steel Watch Band

Hi there sorry for the late response to this question, but i can tell you to stay away from these straps, I bought one just after Christmas, it lasted all of 7 days, 1 side popped out of the watch and launched the pin never to be found, when I removed the other end (to refit my original leather strap) I saw the second pin was bent. Putting the original pin next to the supplied pins you can see the originals are a larger diameter so stronger and you can not fit them through the replacement from xiemin.

Hope this helps others if not yourself. :)
[Moto 360] chrkim87:
Thanks Nelly. I'm sorry about hearing your bad experience with this band. I had a similar initial experience, when I couldn't really install the band because fitting the pins were difficult. I gave up on the first night, and on the second night, I gave it another go. The straps need to be fiddled around a bit until you really hear the snap of the pin going in. It's painful to find but it is possible and works with this watch. I've tugged on each side a few times after installing it and I made sure it was good to go.

I've had my Xiemin band on for a month now, and happy to say that this band has served me very well. The only gripe I have is that the button to release the strap is a bit loose. Other than that, very happy with the $20 strap. Makes the watch look so much better.
[Moto 360] funkydude101:

Looks quite good. Feels good. Not too heavy. Simple enough to install myself as it came with the tools.

[Moto 360] GReddySetGO:
TLDR the entire thread....

I bought this cheap metal band on eBay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/20113433767...49&var=500301064429&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I took it to 3 different stores and none of them could install it. I did a little research and attempted to install it on my own. It turns out the center cut is missing from the band not allowing it to lock properly. If you look at the watch with the band off, you will notice 2 small plastic notches in the center of where the band sits. Most likely Motorola put this here so you would be more limited on band options. Easy solution, get an xacto knife and cut off these plastic notches. Problem solved. It took me about 5 minutes to cut these off and install the band myself using a small eyeglasses screw driver. Saved $10 from having someone at the mall install the band. So total I only paid like $14 for this watch upgrade and it is awesome!
[Moto 360] DanniRulezzz:
I love the Pebble band. I was afraid of cracking but I had it for over a month now. No cracking and no scratches.I just love it. Will def buy the official Motorola band once this one wears out.

I got my Moto for a few weeks now. When I got it, I ordered another band on eBay.

It came from China, took about 2 weeks, whats pretty quick.

Costs ~3,60€, looks great, fits niceley.

I cut out the middle parts with a small dremel tool.

I love the look and the feel of this band. It's much better than what I was expecting for under 4€.

[Moto 360] jeff_roey:
Just received this band yesterday. I gotta say, for $13 bucks, it looks great and fits perfectly. No issues with the internal plastic tabs and plenty of swing clearance between the band and the rear plastic cover that should prevent (any further) cracking. I do have cracking on one side of the back and during the band swap I added a dab of superglue to the crack on the underside of the cover to help prevent it from propagating.

I originally purchased the grey leather band from Moto and overall I always thought the watch felt too light and "breakable". I felt I I couldn't do the active things I would normally do with a watch on and I'd take the 360 off. The metal band gives the watch some desirable weight that makes it feel much more like a traditional watch to me.
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
I really love the new 24mm mono link metal band which we can find on Moto maker, US site only (delayed shipping at the moment) No news on if and when it will be available in Europe, though...

Once again i used my dremel to make the cutout the same way as its on the leather strap, just to make sure. Not as easy to change bands as on the Samsung watches but wasn't too hard and it looks great!

The band is great. I've never seen any other smartwatch in person other than the 360, but it's beautiful. The metal feels nice on your skin, has a nice heft to it, and it looks very nice with the silver model 360. Unfortunately, over the weekend for whatever weekend, whenever I say "Ok Google" instead of letting me say commands, it quickly turns to "Offline." I've tried restarting the watch, restarting my GS6 Edge, resetting my watch, reinstalling the Android Wear app, and nothing worked. I'm gonna make a thread on the forum to see if anyone has a solution. But yes, the band is amazing and probably my favorite combination of colors, band options, and watch.

[Moto 360] neoshi:
I've had my 360 for a little over a week. Here's my poll thread with a pic of mine broken. This is me being careful putting it on every morning too. I think the band is just too heavy for the plastic connector pieces (they really just hold the metal band back with a tiny little plastic bridge). If you pick up your watch via the band instead of the watch face, it will probably break even faster.
