[Q] wich watch band? - LG G Watch R

I will buy one, as soon as the watch is available in europe
I wanted to allready buy a watch band for it, since it takes a while to order stuff from china
and I prefer a metal band over a leather one...
and watch bands are really cheap in china
what kind of watch band would fit?

I will be up for buying someone's OEM leather band if someone is willing to sell it in the U.S. Just P.M. me and let me know!!!

I ordered a custom strap from Patrik at Clover Straps for my Moto360. He's just started it. Then on Friday I ordered a G Watch R and asked Patrik to not cut the little notches in the strap that the 360 needs and I'm gonna use it on the GWR instead

Am I right in assuming that any 22mm watch strap will work with the G Watch R?
I'm interested in getting a stainless steel strap but I might wait until I have the watch before I choose the strap as I want to ensure the colours match.

I think what your asking is if you need the rounded or straight pin, correct? You need the straight one.

How will you sit it in the charging cradle when using a bracelet typ strap
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app

I guess the strap will just have to wrap around the cradle. It should sit ok.

Genius.

Currently waiting for the my watch to arrive.
I was thinking about buying the following from eBay (18-22mm Hadley Roma Stainless Black MB5178A)
- seems like a pretty good deal for me. I just need to be sure, that this is compatible before I buy it.

I bought one at Walmart that has white stitching on it for 14 bucks. The one with the watch irritated my wrist and its all red now.

Where is this band?
Can someone point me out a band similar to the one in the attached picture? I want to buy something similar to this.

http://www.amazon.fr/Montre-Bracele...=8-1-fkmr3&keywords=bracelet+montre+alu+22+mm
I choose this one.
is someby already change his brand?

I'm waiting for my LG G Watch R to arrive and have been looking at watchbands on Amazon. Quite a lot of nice designs available here
E.g.
Black metal link watchband

Just took a punt on this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-20-22-.../221591933172?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:GB:3160
Looks the same as the one you were looking at but a few quid cheaper.

I've purchased 2 watch bands, I'll post up pictures when I get them!
I've ordered a Hadley Roma kevlar band, will post pics when it arrives
watch band i picked up locally for $5 used, because the rubber one was too itchy for me. its "genuine leather" but its very light, surprisingly comfortable, and looks alright. should hold me over til the kevlar one arrives to complement the back of my phone
I bought the Fossil Leather band for it, really like it. Nice thick leather, I especially like the piece that goes under the watch. Couple of better pics and a link. There is a Fossil store where I live so I got mine there, but you can order online.

Updated OP with the watch strap I got today!
Also, it would help to make this a one-stop-shop for pebble watch straps if you guys posted links along with pictures of your watch straps :good:
Another watch band added, don't hold back guys
I really like the first strap, the rubber diver.
Shame I'm in the UK. Will have to see about looking for a similar one over here!

It's rubber, so it does tend to pick up a lot of dirt/fuzz. Washes off effortlessly however.
That's not too bad. Can give it a wash when it's charging time.

nice watch band. black leather would look nicer i think, i'm not sure whether they have it tho
This is what I get - though the color is Dark Brown:
It's called iWatchz STLDBRDYTP Timepiece Stainless Leather Watch Strap - available from Amazon for about $25.
It's a bit tricky to install and I have to take it to a watch repair show, but it cost me only $5 and the band covers edge to edge (see the picture).
Hi,
The strap looks very nice
Could you please put picture with Pebble
Thanks
Anyone find something metal (black) that goes well with the watch? Thanks

There are many of these.. search in Pebble forums.
HOWEVER, there is a warning for using 22mm metal band...
Be careful of using any metal band which has spring-loaded ends to allow the band to fit various widths of watch lugs. These spring loaded pieces are often sharp edged, and push against the insides of the watch lugs, to ensure no lateral slack. BUT they can easily cut into the insides of the watch lugs, even with a metal watch; and the Pebble has plastic lugs ! You really need to get a metal band with fixed 22 mm ends.
Being in the watch repair trade I have seen many vintage watches with lugs carved away by these awful bands - don't do this to your Pebble.

Here it is! Note that I also use "SlickWraps" to give the "wooden" effect lock on the watch face.

I have one of these fitted. Very chunky, very heavy and very nice.
To me the contrast of the polished stainless steel with the black watch looks very nice.
It required fitting in a jewellers due to them needing to take a couple of links out of the strap for size.

Tetded Leather cases

While looking for a Verizon leather case I came across this brand. They seem relatively new to the case scene. If anyone knows of a company that is producing a leather shell/case for the Verizon version, please let me know. Thanks.

These look pretty effin' sweet! Gonna order mine tonight, as long as it isn't too costly. I am gonna try and figure the exchange with shipping and I will let you know. It looks like a really nice case so I am ok with paying a premium, but probably won't go over $60/$65.

Free shipping and you can click $ in the upper right to see the price in US dollars. Might get one myself!
Those look great. I'd want to know how protective it is before I bought one, though.
I sent an email about Verizon compatibility and they said it is suitable for the 980.
"Dear Sir / Madam
Good Day
The Tetded LG G2 cases are suitable for LG G2 V980.

Did anyone get it?
I got it and it is by far the nicest, high end case I have ever had on any android phone, period. The one (and only) thing I envy about the iPhone is the amount of accessories, especially high end cases, that are available for it. But finally, I have a high end, actual leather case that even my Apple friends are envious of! I will try and post pics, or maybe a video later today. By the way, I have the tmobile USA g2 and it fits perfectly, if anyone is wondering, so this should fit the at&t and Sprint versions as I think they are the same sizes, but I have heard the Verizon is a little thicker so I don't think it would fit?

I'm also interested in this case....can you upload some pics please? Has anyone else tried Tededs cases?
I'm really tempted to get one but I can't decide to get just the back case or the book case with a magnetic flap. It looks really nice but how much protection would it deliver if I accidentally drop it? I've had my LG G2 for about six months now and I've only dropped it once while naked when I stepped out of my car and I forgot I had it on my leg.
All the cases on that page actually fit the Verizon LG G2? They do look nicer than others cases I have seen, even if it isn't a lot of protection.
Edit: nevermind they replied to me just now that they are not compatible with the Verizon G2. The earlier reply posted by someone was wrong which is what I figured. Personally I think Verizon changed the phone just enough to force people to buy the case from them. I have never seen a phone with so few quality cases.
Anyone who have bought case from Tetded and have any feedback/pics how the quality is etc?
Love it but does anyone make a case like this that wraps around the front?

Note 5 equivalent of Peel cover for iphone?

Recently jumped ships from iphone to Note 5. I've always used the Peel skin (http://buypeel.com/) and like the minimal super thin form. Does anyone know the equivalent cover for Note 5?
Thanks

Arrrggghhh ... No shipping to the US ! If someone can provide a US shipping pocket friendly option, please do. Much appreciated. I have been looking for a similar peel-like solution coming from the iphone 6 plus.
Just be mindful this case have a perfect cut for the charger port in the shape of a microUSB, so the charging cable might not get pushed all the way in and make enough contact to connect, I had to use xacto knife and cut the opening a bit wider to accommodate the plug. This has always been the case for this type of case, I had to do the same for when I had Note 3 as well, it's cheap enough to play around with =]

@Crushader Just received this, its awesome. Thank you again. Exactly what I was looking for. Your 'play around' suggestion inspired me to remove the complete lower portion with just kitchen scissors to mimic / feel like the super thin iphone 6 plus case I has earlier. It feels pretty good in hand and I can not believe how cheap it is.

Lug Adapter Zenwatch 3
I looked at the pictures of the lug_adapter and to me personally
it looks ugly and not professional at all.
What's really needed is to find someone who can make lugs identical to the
original lugs attach to the watch just like the original ones but 20mm in size
so we can attach any 20mm bands to the watch without making the watch
look un-professional.
This lug adapter on Reddit looks similar to what I seen on Amazon.com
for the Samsung S2 Classic watch which had the extra link attached to
the original lug which also looked bad. (if you all know what I mean).
Have a great day!

This is available on Amazon now, but the reviews aren't stellar. Apparently, it's actually plastic not metal (why are they called Steel Connect?), and the color/texture doesn't match the watch metal at all (not even the black). I'm really disappointed because this looked like a really good (even though overpriced) solution, but I ended up buying the watch anyway after several companies came out with metal mesh bands that are specifically designed for the ZW3.

It's aluminium. Lightweight.
Though the corner edge is of the connector is sharp.
If you play with pets or kids, just take note not to scratch the kids.

As I said in my previous post here, the steel connect is an ugly piece of junk
which makes the Zenwatch 3 look like something home-made by someone
who does not know what they are doing.
It might be OK if you broke your stock band and there were no other choices
of bands, even then I would not pay more than 99 cents for it since that's all
it's worth. At Amazon Com there are many other very nice choices of bands
specifically for the Zenwatch 3 which look great and look very professional.
They also cost half as much as the cheap, ugly steelconnect adaptors.
Your screenshots prove my point very well, the steelconnect adaptor
makes the Zenwatch 3 look ugly and unprofessional. LOL
Have a great day!

How can a company sell something called "SteelConnect" when the
adaptor is made out of plastic, it's false advertising.

It's new year eve. Chill. I just post to share my experience.
Really like the aluminium used.
Though not sure your problem with "plastic". Definitely it is not made of plastic like what the Samsung Galaxy series is using.
Some other views with the aluminium finish. Take note sweat will erode the aluminium gently. So do wipe it with damp cloth regularly.

Sorry about that, I forgot it's almost New Years eve!
Enjoy your Zenwatch 3 with the steelconnect band adaptors.
Have a great day!
The photos of the connectors in the Amazon reviews really look plastic, and the reviews actually state they are. Do you know if the manufacturer created multiple versions? Maybe the original ones (prototypes) were plastic?
All that being said, your connectors don't look plastic and actually look pretty good (even if I don't really care for your choice of bands -- that's the Steel Connect band, right?). Glad you like them. I would probably buy a set myself if I could confirm the ones I would receive are definitely not plastic. I'm not paying $40 for plastic.
Happy new year!
Here's mine with a nato strap that came with the connector. I have had it for about 3 months I think.
Colour matching isn't perfect, but it does the job well.
Worth it or not? I guess it depends on whether if you really want to freely change watch straps.

Titanium version announced for October 2 release

I just saw today that Samsung has announced the Titanium version.
https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-3-titanium-release-date-price-1158742/

Well, I just saw a review that says the band is stainless steel rather than titanium. I'm not sure why Sammy would make a lighter watch with a heavier band. Bummer. I hope they have an option for a titanium band.
I don't get it. For an extra $170, you get something 0.4 ounces lighter but otherwise mostly indistinguishable from stainless steel. Plenty of other stainless steel band options out there for $15-$20.
Maybe it's more scratch resistant, but I went with a bezel and body protector, anyway, that changed my watch from black to silver (should have gone with silver if I put more thought into it).
For the most part I have upgraded the bands that come as stock on Samsung watches. Looks like I'll be doing the same on this. Don't see it listed it yet for pre-order on the Samsung USA site.
Interesting titanium model, but I'm passing for now...
Just had a chat with Samsung about my S7 but also asked when the Titanium will be available for pre-order in the US. She checked with her team and had no information she could share. Gotta say that my experience so far with Chats has been close to useless.
It's up for pre-sale at B&H:

if i can trade in the current watch 3 lte for this i would. otherwise its a pass.
rather useless imho. Stainless steel is supposed to be more durable, harder material, and it looks same black as normal stainless steel.
I dont see the point besides weight, which is rather light already on gw3.
i dont see the point in the fold z thom browne edition but there's people out there that do. same with this. it just another option for some who want to be different.
According to one Youtube review, the stainless steel band weighs 105 grams and the Titanium watch body weighs 43 grams (about 10 grams less than the SS version.)
I found a titanium band on Amazon that costs $30 and weighs only 55 grams. Given the low price, I'm not sure why Samsung didn't choose a titanium band to match the watch.

I believe Titanium to be easier to scratch. It is not as hard as stainless steel.
At this price point, my opinion is that stainless steel version is better cause for a lower price you can get LTE, which is by far more useful than a titanium black case bluetooth only watch.
To my knowledge titanium only comes in BT version.
ooooooooooooohhh !!! if its BT only them im out! I need LTE... thanks for sharing that.. ill be keeping the watch3 LTE then with my stainless band..

It seems that the Titanium is not getting a lot of love, but Samsung is offering a $50 certificate if you reserve now.

I am still waiting for the email from Samsung telling me to submit my order and get the certificate. The Watch shows reserved in my Samsung app, but when I try to order with the app nothing shows up yet about the certificate.
I absolutely love the Titanium watch... Oozes luxury and robustness. With the word Titanium subtly engraved on the casing...

Do you find the SS band too heavy? I am thinking about buying a titanium band when mine arrives.

Nope.. It's extremely comfortable in fact.. And it's a perfect fit against the case. Which you won't get with third party bands... [emoji1303][emoji1320][emoji91]

There is probably one coming once the supply lines for the current model get filled.

Indeed, looks nice fit close to the case, thx for sharing. The titanium engraved is cool too.
They really should have made it LTE though.
Without LTE, close to this price tag there is some very nice Garmin fenix 6 out there with either sapphire glass or titanium case with better sport sensors and measurements.
GW3 looks a bit more classy though and i love mine for that (GW 45mm LTE black) and it has this rotative bezel and touch screen that garmin doesnt offer on fenix 6.
