[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
just got the watch and the band. the band (http://www.luxurywatchstraps.co.uk/details.asp?itemid=47) adds some nice weight to the watch, making it feel more premium.

very high quality, PVD coated, strap. a bit tricky to get on the watch, but managed to do so with a flat head screwdriver.

I need to remove some links and cannot seem to do this with the paper clips I have laying around. I'll try again, but I'll probably end up at a watch shop.

Here's some photos:

Photo's are all broken.

Why can't we use a curved band? The mount looks like it would work with one. See here.

This is the band I'm thinking of getting. Don't see why this wouldn't work.

Brown / cognac strap as in LG boot

Hi guys,

I am also looking for a replacement strap for my GWR ... and really looking to the brown / cognac colored strap as in the LG boot as pictures published by slash gear, such as:

So that means, 22mm wide, cognac leather, straight straps, white/light seams (or if the strap is very light a black seam would be nice!), a black clasp with a wide (flat) pin. Anybody found anything similar to this? Thanks!
[LG G Watch R] julz:
Wow the brown leather looks good. I've ordered a black metal band but I think ill get a brown one as well for a different look. What do you think of this worn leather look? http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=...=ur2&tag=soxpzulfa-20&linkId=DG67QZM2NLUX4LQZ
[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
hey guys.

sorry for the broken links. fixed now.
[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
fixed now. sorry :(
[LG G Watch R] Robdyx:
It's OK, thank you for those.

Looks gorgeous, I think I have a winner :D
[LG G Watch R] aungkhaingoo:
Look more premium than stock band.
[LG G Watch R] zzcool:
how do you change the band?
[LG G Watch R] b0gd4n:
it's a standard 22mm band. you change it like any other watch.
[LG G Watch R] ultimdan:
Ceramic watch band

Hey,

that seems to be a really nice band. Could you post some pictures when you receive it? Also, are they always 50$? They seems to be on sale, but I'm not sure if it's something that happens often. I'm really tempted to buy one, but the 45$ shipping cost to Canada is holding me off.

Thanks!

Dan
[LG G Watch R] ausch30:
Thanks for the pics. I just bought the G Watch R Saturday through the T-Mobile deal and I've been looking at metal watch bands ever since trying to decide which one to get. I'm still undecided but the one you bought does look nice.
[LG G Watch R] Shanki2k8:
With a brown band.
[LG G Watch R] Piercing Heavens:
I'm tempted to get this watch band. It's 50% off today so $10 in the end.

[LG G Watch R] jdougal11:
Anyone have luck with an inexpensive black metal band? I tried the Pebble band but it didn't fit right and looked horrible.
[LG G Watch R] maschenazi:
:D:D I just ordered my LG G Watch R yesterday from Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. I also ordered a metallic band:

and a screen protector:

After writing this I noticed the band is the wrong size :) . I have cancelled the order and got this one instead.

[LG G Watch R] silitek:
The same band i recieve this week, i hope. Soon post screenshot. I 'm curious how it looks ;)
[LG G Watch R] donatom3:
that watch band appears to cover the heart rate sensor and charging ports. You'd have to slide the band off anytime you wanted to charge the phone.
[LG G Watch R] maschenazi:
:o I didn't noticed this. Hope he didn't get his bargain.
[LG G Watch R] Double_U:
Looks great
[LG G Watch R] TheKaser:
so how's the quality? does it look/feel cheap?
[LG G Watch R] silitek:
Yeah its crap..feels very cheap, fortunate they send me the wrong size 20mm instead of 22.

So, give it another try with this one..hopefully better looks:D
[LG G Watch R] TheKaser:
darn, that's what I suspected. I am looking for a wristband too but they can look good on pic and then be lightweight and crappy.... :(

good luck with the new one, keep us posted!
[LG G Watch R] silitek:
I will, good feeling about the new one. Post pics asap....;)
[LG G Watch R] rokius:
Did you manage to get this band installed? I bought the same one, but couldn't get both sides in. The tips of the band seem to be too round and bulky to fit snug into the G Watch R.

Has anyone swapped the original band for the Pebble Steel black metal band? If so, any pics?

Or how about the black polyurathane band? (Can search amazon for "Replacement Black Polyurethane Link Bracelet Band 22mm for Luminox 3000 and 3900 Series Watches"

Thanks in advance!
[LG G Watch R] inwe:
Hi,

I'm a developer and I spend a lot of time resting my arms/wrists on the table, so I'm looking for a comfortable watch band that doesn't tighten too much my wrist. Any suggestion?

Thank you
[LG G Watch R] laich71:
comfortable

i have found the silicon bands to be the most comfortable to wear, also i found the vibrate is easily missed if watch isn't tight so think metal would be uncomfortable, especially with hairy arms.
[LG G Watch R] nickmilla15:
Does anyone know where I can get a black steel band that allows micro adjusting on the clasp? I can't get a proper fit by just removing links, but haven't found one yet :/
[LG G Watch R] silitek:
Something like this??...
[LG G Watch R] nickmilla15:
If that came in steel, it would be perfect
[LG G Watch R] silitek:
On store they have one...;)

Edit: Damn, just 20mm now i see
[LG G Watch R] AlpineMan:
This is the watch band I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371212953824

The seller has a few nice photos of the band in his ad.

It does weigh about 4.5 oz. and I get the feel of a premium watch because of the added weight. :o The watch no longer feels/looks like a cheap toy having worn the original leather band for a week. It was a little tricky to install, but there was nothing to modify...it just had to be done a certain way. After I figured it out, very nice fit.

[LG G Watch R] AlpineMan:
Yeah. I really like the look and feel of the watch now with the band. Makes it elegant, yet sporty. It's a Rolex running Android. :)
[LG G Watch R] silitek:
So, here's my band its pretty good..enough weight . Now found out scratch proof is...:D

[LG G Watch R] Rennat:
How has that metal band held up for you? Anything you don't like about it? Is it comfortable? Thinking of buying one and am worried it might be a bit to heavy for normal, everyday use.
[LG G Watch R] AlpineMan:
So far so good. I really like the band. It's very comfortable. Skin/hair doesn't get pulled. I wear my watch every day even when I'm just at home. No complaints whatsoever. To me, the weight is just right... anything lighter would feel like a toyish cheap watch.

[LG G Watch R] BostonDan:
Wow. I like the look of the metal bands people have posted, but I really like the minimal metallic mesh band (like the Skagen watches have). I found a black metallic mesh band on E-Bay for $7 (with shipping) and I also bought a band-replacement tool (plus extra links) for another $6-7 for a total of about $14. Got it right before X-mas.

Hi guys!

I've just oredered a Camel like leather strap for my GWR.

Is it easy to replace it myself, or a trip to a watchshop would be necessary?

Is it just unscrewing the four small screws, or is there more to it?

Edit: Nevermind, found it on youtube...

Threw this strap on from my fossil watch. I like it better with the stock strap. Still looking for something else.
[LG G Watch R] Dopefish2212:
I bought this strap too and I can't get it to fit, such a waste as the strap looks really nice and the quality feels great. Anyone has any luck getting this band to fit?
[LG G Watch R] AlpineMan:
This strap you're referring to looks like the band I bought. Let me know if it is and I can tell you how to fit it. Have a look at the photos of my band and the ebay seller's photos in my previous posts in this thread. They look very similar.
[LG G Watch R] Dopefish2212:
Hi AlpineMan, thanks for the response! The connector on my band looks a lot rounder than the one from your link, my band actually looks like the "Black PVD 22mm Solid Stainless Steel 413B Deployment Bracelet Watchband For Mont" from the same seller. (Sorry can't post any links yet...)
[LG G Watch R] Major_Sarcasm:
Anyone got any experience with luxurywatchstraps.co.uk? I ordered a strap from them on the 6th Jan and paid with PayPal via their site. I've had no confirmation of the order (other than the PayPal email) and no reply to an email sent yesterday (other than an automated response).

[LG G Watch R] TheKaser:
that actually looks pretty good! does the matt color match the watches color?

how is the weight/general feel of the band, does it feel crappy or ok? can't beat the price :D
[LG G Watch R] milky81:
The weight is pretty good and heavy. Not like real premium bands but I like it.

The general feel is a little bit cheap but its still nice. You can't tell that its a cheap band if you dont inspect it closely.

The color does not match precisely but its close enough not to notice. Here is a closeup:
[LG G Watch R] TheKaser:
that actually looks pretty good, better than expected for $6 :D

great find!

Don't suppose you got a contact number for them on a receipt or delivery note? I've had no reply to emails and there's no contact number on their website. I'm gonna have to make a PayPal claim soon...

no, I only contacted them through email. the guy who replied had the following signature (no number though):

[LG G Watch R] Olywa123:
I had similar concerns, ordered last week from their website (on the back of seeing b0gd4ns pics a few pages back - thanks :)).

I also had zero communication from them so I sent an email on Monday to contact@luxurywatchstraps.co.uk with my paypal transaction ID and expressed my concern. Had a few email exchanges with them this week and finally the strap arrived yesterday. I have no phone number but there was an alternative email address in my package - first.watches@gmail.com

Keep pressing, I believe you will get the strap they just need a lot of prodding (not good), I'm also gonna reply to them on the back of one of my emails and point them to this thread in the hope it helps you.

Re the strap, I'm very pleased with it, will see how it holds up but it looks good and seems strongand decent quality and they seem to sell the same one for a lot more on the infamous auction site. Have a cheap watch repair kit (~£6 also from that auction site) which helped in fitting and the removal of 5 links for my skinny wrist!
[LG G Watch R] dontpannic:
Exactly the same happened to my sister (present for me for christmas). Raised a dispute with PayPal and a couple of days later the strap arrived with an apology note...!

Hi there,

Another member sent me a mail and let me know there was a problem with an order. We have had a number of technical difficulties over Christmas - including orders not processing. Just wanted to reassure you that you will get your strap and that we have sorted our ordering process.

If you have mailed us then the order will be in hand. If not sent us an email and we will double check for you.

We can only apologise for the delay - we know how frustrating this is and do appreciate your custom.

Best wishes

Leather strap with butterfly clasp

Hi, i bought a LG G Watch R and it should arrive soon.

I would like a leather band with a butterfly clasp, i loved the stock band that comes with the Asus Zenwatch, i think it looks very nice.

Anyone has suggestions of a strap of this genre?
[LG G Watch R] trikpa:
You will have to take it off every time you charge your watch ;)
[LG G Watch R] julz:
I have a similar style NATO strap which I can still slip in the charger between the band. Not sure if it would be the same with this leather one. But looks like it's out of stock now :(
[LG G Watch R] trikpa:
You should be able to do that with the leather one too but you loose the abillity to just put the watch one the charger hassle free...
[LG G Watch R] julz:
It's actually not so bad. Forces me to check it is correctly sitting in the charging cradle as sometimes it's in but not charging. I also cut holes in the strap so the heart rate monitor still works

[LG G Watch R] djkidd:
So I just got my GWR and it's awesome! I love this thing. Of course I need to get a new band for it (only in the market for metal bands).

I've ordered this one so far cuz you can't beat the price: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Blac...2mm-24mm-Buckle-Free-Shipping/2038714291.html ($5.27 + free shipping) (thanks syaman89 for sharing the link).

Now i'm having trouble deciding between the three following ones:

1) Ritche 22mm $10 + shipping. I know a lot of people have ordered this and it seems to be good. My question for those of you who have it, how much does the band weigh? I'm used to premium watches like Michael Kors or Omega. Does the band feel like a premium quality band?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=as2&tag=soxpzulfa-20&linkId=XCJPFG64FY4ULK2W

2) Dostech 22mm $12.99 + shipping. I can't find any reviews on this band. I prefer the ends on this as opposed to the Ritche. But again, I can't find any reviews on it or pictures of it on an GWR.

http://www.amazon.com/Dostech-Stain...971413&sr=8-2&keywords=22+mm+black+watch+band

3) Coromose 22mm $11.22 + $1.00 shipping. Similar look as the other two, but the shipping is obviously a plus point and it comes with a tool (not sure if the other two do or not). I'm unsure about the ends on this one and the answers to the questions on the page regarding the GWR I feel doesn't tell the whole story because, as far as I can see, this does have straight ends.

http://www.amazon.com/Coromose®-Lux...sbs_241_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=11PAKHT0YZ0H073FT9ZD

I hope you guys can help me figure this one out. Thanks!!
[LG G Watch R] moopile:
The Richie seemed very cheaply made and flimsy compared to my Fossil bands. The clasp on my would just fall open every few minutes. I threw it in a drawer, never to be used again.

I just ordered #2 in your list. Its just what I've been looking for. It should be here Monday evening. I'll try to post back here asap.
[LG G Watch R] djkidd:
You responded at the perfect time! I was going to order the Ritche today. Now, I'll definitely wait until your post on the Dostech. Thanks!
