Would like to see a "nicer" band option. - Sony Smartwatch 3

Being as the SmartWatch 3 is kinda modular, what are the chances a "nicer" wrist strap will eventually be available?
Would be nice to use the rubber strap for running/ working out and other more outdoors environments and be able to slip it into a more elegant leather (my preference) or metal strap option. Any news on a possible Sony or third party option like this?

I would like this too,

I've heard some rumours on some tech websites about a metal strap coming, but any concrete details are scarce.
I don't get it really as sony would be onto a real winner here if they just made some premium straps that we could buy and swap out according to our needs. The main criticism of the sw3 is that it's unattractive. I think that's mainly to do with the functional nature of the strap.

My SW3 wont arrive until Monday, so I've yet to see or handle it in person and don't know how it exactly slips into the strap. Don't know if it would be an issue to slip it into a strap that isn't at least partially rubber? What do you guys that actually have one think?
Either way, I ended up winning a Asus ZenWatch on ebay that will be my more dressy option. I really like the look of the ZenWatch, I personally prefer it over the Moto 360 or LG G watch R.
I nice looking leather/metal band option would give the Smartwatch 3 some real flexibility though. I'll keep looking to see if it happens.

Looks like the Smartwatch 3 holder will be the answer from Sony for a way to use your preferred style band. Mine arrived today just in time to hear the news. Still it not as nice as I would hope.

That holder is plastic or metal?

looks plastic, that why I'm not so excited. Still doesn't look very premium. Wish it was black metal or SS.
I haven't seen anything stating the watch pops out of the new metal model. Would be nice if you could just buy the metal band.
Here are a few additional pics I found:

Thanks guys.
So I am gonna buy the metal watch.

[Q] Mi band extra straps

No, I even asked some Chinese friends and it's starting to look like the extra bands are not released yet, but can't get it verified.
I'd love to get additional straps too.... Not only leather ones, I'd love to get an extra blue and green strap too.
But as far as I've seen, these additional straps seems not to be on market yet. Does anyone has info about that?
They are available on aliexpress.

True that, I've just seen them. But... these are not original and imho, quite expensive considering the price of the band itself. Let's wait for an official release by Xiaomi and probably also these fake straps would lower their price.
additional bands can be found on tinydeal.com

Those are still silicon bands. I asked for leather or wrap around. :/
Anyway, I tried some third party straps in silicon; copies are 1 to 1 with respect to the original band, so the core fits in perfectly. However, the used silicon is not merely comparable to the original one and after few weeks, the bracelet loose with ease.
I suggest you to buy a Sony smart band swr10 strap.
I already had this sony band and I love the design, very manly.
The mi band core is a bit small inside but doesn't move at all (I use it in the pool too)
The drawback is you won't see anymore the 3 leds, but I don't care and the band is very classy and durable.

Did you have to modify the Sony strap? Could you maybe post some pictures of the Mi tracker inside the Sony strap?
I didn't modify the strap to fit the Mi band. It fits quite tight on the length that prevent the module to move, not on the width but that's not a big deal. I did that because I already had the sw10 and my girlfriend didn't like the Miband bracelet for a man.
I can't post you a picture since I gave the Miband to a friend but trust me on this, you won't loose it.

Thanks for your answer. The tracker itself isnt visible, right? So you can't tell if there is a SWR10 or a MiBand in it without looking underneath?
Since it has a more flat form that the swr10 module, you can fill it when you pass your finger on the top of the strap, on the sides of the module. It won't bother you nor is particularly visible.
I bought this leather bracelet in this website:

You're asking a question and in the sentence after that you're answering your own question assuming something.
Most of these things have no problem with water.
Lol.. I was just thinking aloud. I wouldnt have asked if I didnt want clarification. Cause you know.. Usually when you have real wood or leather products you dont usually submerge them in water. Droplets I can see it handling no problem but I just had the thought come across my mind before I drop ~$35 on a back which could potentially get ruined after one instance of trying to show off the novelty of our water resistant phones.

Hmm I see, well I guess it depends what the manufacturer uses, some use real wood and some just use a texture to make it look like real wood, but in the end it would just be plastic or some sort.
Has anyone had the pleasure of ordering one of the skins from this company yet? I just recently got my dbrand skins and they were not what I was expecting. Still very slippery and the material is very unsatisfying. Can anyone clarify the feeling/quality of the skins from OP's company?
leather back
I have the black leather back on my white Z3 compact. It looks and feels like leather, not at all like DBrandz (which I also have). It has improved the grip and texture so much that I don't use a case if I have a lanyard attached. It's much thicker than any of the other skins which are plastic rather than leather, although at a push you can still add a case for extra protection on those occasions when it's needed without removing the back.
It was expensive to buy, and I paid an extra £18 to get it through UK customs but this single item has vastly improved the economics of the Z3 for me, which until now has been the single most disappointing thing with my Z3.
---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------
Just as an after thought, I wouldn't go swimming or take it in the shower with this back on as I suspect it's leather, but would be fine out in a bit of rain.
Also for those wondering about the logo 'colors' it's just printed on and would be easy enough to remove or even cover over with a black felt tip pen.
10/10 for me.

but is it real leather or just another plastic decal? In the case of real leather it would explain the high price ($30 for a sticker),

TYLT making these new silicone bands for the Moto 360!

Have you guys seen this?
BUILT TO TYLT
They look pretty decent, and I am glad they are not leather! I have been using a silicone band, and while it looks good and feels good, I actually prefer the feel of resin bands, the type Casio and G-Shock watches use.
(see my mod here... http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-360/441678-moto-360-sport-edition-watch-strap-mod.html)
That being said, these look great and I like that there is a metal clasp at the end of the band to control the extra slack, and not a loop.
Also, there is no pricing that I can see...
What do you guys think?

If you had clicked on the "BUY NOW" button you would have seen that they are $29.95.
lol, i didn't see that on the mobile site, maybe i gotta use my eyes!
___
Actually, just checked the mobile site again, and it doesn't seem to have a buy now option!
For $30... that's kinda reasonable. I know that if I buy it, I don't have to alter it and it'll be guaranteed to fit.
I just received a blue one and it is really nice. Perfect size, the blue isn't really too BLUE.
I really like the clasp snaps back into the band to keep it tidy.
Very happy with it.
was going to buy one but then got to the payment page and saw $30 shipping to uk sad times
wondering how these work without the band cutout
Responding to my prior post regarding cut out concerns ... I was no longer worried since this is now sold on the Moto website as an officially recognized accessory.
Ordered one on 4/14, shipped on 4/16 and delivered 4/20 via USPS
Installation was a little trickier than I expected with one of OEM pins acting stubborn. The TYLT included new pins, so I didn't reuse the leather ones.
I didn't feel any resistance installing the band without the cutout.
Impressions:
- Feels lighter and more comfortable than the leather
- Blue color is a nice dark blue and looks nice enough to wear to work
- The metal tip can be trickier to get through the buckle portion of the band.
- Overall I prefer it to the leather (for now)
- Recommended, but $30 is steep for silicone band. I just couldn't bear with sweaty leather any longer, so it's a quality option if you wear your watch during workouts

I thought the same, looks massive! Surely they could have made it smaller. With the size it is, I think a nice strap on it would look silly rather than nice.

If anyone gets one, please let us know if it's a dust magnet like the normal black strap, that's the only thing letting this watch down at the moment. Hopefully the metal strap will be available soon as well at a decent price.

it does look well made...but it appears taller than it needs to be...I mean why not just take the holder design from the silicon band, then cut it off where the holder narrows into the straps, and put a regular strap adapter there?

yeah, know what you mean, but physically impossible to have a holder and attachment for the seperate straps in that small space. See below pictures with original and this holder. In the original strap the device itself already is overlapping the strap. So you need that space first on the seperate holder and then hav the location of the strap attachement strong enough (that is , more material needed)
thanks for sharing the detailed pics, I can see how the design does limit how close the adapters can be positioned to the actual core. No hope for my dainty wrists then...Also, is it just me, or is your stock silicone strap glossy?
I think the holder with black mesh strap looks quite nice

my wrist is smaller then yours i suppose, had the original strap in 3rd hole :
and it's not shiny from origin, its just worn (as you can see in previous pictures, the corners are showing metal underneath)
nope my wrist is smaller, i'd have only 1 hole exposed above the sony logo if I took a picture this way.
still, it does really look nice and premium, but it's just too much bezel for me.
There's a few official SWR510's on ebay at the moment, shipped from Japan, around 30 Euros.
Think I'll order one of these rather than the 3d printed ones.

Best Milanese Huawei Watch Band Hands Down!

I originally purchased the Huawei Watch with black leather as I prefer leather bands to metal. All I ever really knew for metal watch bands was the normal steel links, which to me are heavy and rip the hairs out of my wrist. Not exactly something I would like to wear all day long. I have been curious about the Milanese style bands since I seen them advertised by Apple for the Apple Watch. Anyways, I started browsing Amazon to see what was on offer for the Huawei Watch. There are two styles as far as I can see. Milanese bands with a "clamp" style latch and a Milanese band that loops through with a magnetic "latch". I definitely was more attracted to the magnetic style band so I figured I would order it up and give it a go. The only thing I was worried about was the magnet being too weak and coming loose throughout the day, which is not the case at all. It also comes with the quick release style pins, so no tools are needed.
Needless to say, I love it! It makes the Huawei Watch look very sharp and unique in my opinion. It is very comfortable and provides a perfect fit due to the way it "latches". I am pretty sure it would provide a perfect fit for any wrist. It fits the watch so well that it appears as if it were made by the watch manufacture itself. Ever since I have swapped the leather band for the Milanese, I have had quite a few different people ask me about it and wondering "what kind of watch is that?". Also, if you compare it to the other Milanese Bands on Amazon, this one "fits" better. The band itself is slightly wider than the part that attaches to the watch / the part the pin goes through. This is how the original Huawei Watch bands are as well.
They are available in stainless steel, black, and rose gold. The stainless steel matches the standard Huawei Watch perfectly! The part that attaches to the lugs is a "brushed" finish like the sides of the Huawei Watch and not a glossy finish like the face. I actually prefer this, as it will not scratch nearly as easy. I am sure the black would match the black just fine as well. They were $17.99 when I purchased, but they are now $23.99. Still, worth every penny! I guess you could always go pay $129.99 + tax for the Huawei official Milanese band, which has an inferior clasping mechanism in my opinion.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Very cool. I've been interested in this style since I first saw the Apple version. I've looked online but all the ones I've found were using clips to latch. The magnetic band is very cool. I ordered one to give it a shot.
I would love to see some actual pictures of it on your wrist.
Can you post some pictures of the band on your watch?
Thanks for sharing! I have been searching some 2 months ago and could not find a magnetic loop band back then. I immediately ordered this band for HuaweI Watch and also for Apple iWatch and Gear S2 Classic... (Yesoo sells for all those watches!!)
I have a similar band by Hoco...black melanese mesh with magnetic clasp....couldn't recommend it enough! https://plus.google.com/111656357014042389917/posts/ePHuhxVeRpg - photo
I just received this very same band last week and love it! After purchasing a very similar 3rd party band for my wife's Apple watch, I thought this would be a great option for the Huawei watch and am very pleased. The magnetic clasp allows you to adjust for a near perfect fit on your wrist. This also has quick change pins, so it's very easy to swap back and forth between this and the original Huawei leather band when you want a different look. The only negative I've found so far is that the hair on my wrist gets snagged in the magnetic clasp if it's not aligned to the band perfectly.
Also bought it
I also bought one. The only thing I don't like are that some of the links stick up a little on mine near where the mesh is joined to the solid metal parts (You only notice if you look closely and from the right angle, though), and also the metal is slightly darker than the watch case.
Overall though, I'm pleased, especially considering I paid under $20 for it.
I can confirm. This is definitely the best band for this watch. I was thinking the magnetic band would come off, or the links would be messed up, but everything is perfect. As soon as I put it on I got a lot of complements about my watch. Too bad nobody know what a Huawei Watch is around where I live. They always give me a blank stare like I just spoke some foreign language.
I have both the clasp variant mesh band and this magnetic variant mesh band. The magnet is nice and easy to use, and it's very strong too, but the quality of the mesh is much higher on the clasp mesh band. Slightly thicker and feels sturdier, plus it's pretty much a 90% exact stock mesh band replica.

I have the hoco milances magnetic clasp band in stainless steel and I also really like it. My only complaint is that the magnetic clasp slips when I am doing any kind of physical work. I am a social worker my day but in the weekend I like dyi projects around the house. The watch slipping lose sometime is annoying. But over all the w a huawei watch looks great with this band.

I ordered this and have been using it for a few days.
The Magnetic band does come loose over time. I've had to tighten it a few times throughout the day.
I think I want to exchange mine because the magnetic clasp piece doesn't seem to be connected to the band very well. It isn't aligned properly and looks like 1 side is coming out. It isn't loose, but there is a brown (rust?) line that I can see. It is barely noticeable but I think it makes it look cheap.

I bought this one as well and really hated it. My review is on Amazon if anyone cares to read it (Cory S). I suppose I might had rated it better if I wasn't comparing it directly against the OEM mesh band...but probably not being they lied about the material it is made out of.

Sorry, I still can't figure out how to get pics to post directly on my comments. Why can't all forums be like overclock.net and many others and have integrated photo uploads? Where when you go to post a pic, you just upload it directly from your computer and not have to use some third party site and post links... so annoying.

It looks like a darker silver. Is it darker then the stainless steel of the watch?

Nah looks the same shade. Just the shadows playing tricks on you.
I've been wearing this band for about a week. I have to adjust it a few times a day but it feels good. I haven't had any compliments on it either. The magnets get a little crazy taking it off. The band kinda all sticks to itself. I am getting faster at getting off and on one handed.
The thinness of the band really makes the Huawei looks super thick, hence why I liked my thick metal band. I also think it looks more feminine (IMO).
Thanks for this. Got the black one and loving it.

I have both the clasp variant mesh band and this magnetic variant mesh band. The magnet is nice and easy to use, and it's very strong too, but the quality of the mesh is much higher on the clasp mesh band. Slightly thicker and feels sturdier, plus it's pretty much a 90% exact stock mesh band replica.

I've purchsed the clasp variant you mention here. The mesh is fine, as you write. Otherwise I consider the band pretty much useless, as taking on the watch is a project for a minute or more. Ok, I might not be the handiest guy, but the problems are:
- very tight clasp, the band barely goes through
- very awkward clasp system itself, very hard to use when watch is on the wrist (typical use case, isn't it?).
I can hardly use the claps even off-wrist. From what I can tell from the photos, original Huawei OEM band uses the same system, so it's possibly cheapishly implemented here.
I got the item "packed" in a soft plastic envelope, due to what (probably) it has a very ugly dent on the part which connects to the watch. One of the quick release handles on the hinge fell apart until I got home from work.
tl;dr;
Don't buy this totally noname chinese crap.
