Any opinions on the leather band for sale on amazon?

[bckrupps]

Found this for sale on Amazon? Not much info online compared to the others. Seems expensive but it isn't relative to others. I am mainly concerned with how the leather holds up adhered to the band and whether or not anybody swapped out the band yet.

I'd be worried about the radio bands it supports. It mentions it's for the Korean model, so the built in antennas may not work with all models.

These are the exact questions i had also. I thought the price was relatively okay as the google mode bands are at least $50 as are the apple watch bands and this one has some electronics built into it.

1. As noted antennas are often tuned to the bands that they receive.
2. Are the antennas easy to disconnect and reconnect?
3. I probably wouldn't try it,though I am happy with the standard band.

Thanks for the videos. I'm liking the leather band. I may bite even though i wish the shipping was free

Great to see that the band seems well designed and easy to replace if you break it, or just want something different.

 

[tech_head]

I might bite and get one.

Just looked and it says 5 left, if you're still interested. Arrives between Oct 5-26. "Company" just launched so may be some risk, but it is Amazon so could probably get money back if it doesn't show up.

Seller TNT-STORE is legit. They also sell a few 3d printer docks and some charging cables. One of my friends got one of the chargers from them before they popped up on ebay and through other third parties. I dont use cellular but i may or may sell the watch down the road and i dont want to buy the band and not have it be compatible for me or someone else down the road. He has sold a few so hopefully somebody knows about this forum and confirms its functionality in the US. I will probably buy it anyway soon i was just holding out for confirmation cause i dont have the cellular connection to test it either way.

bought the same band off ebay. Received it in a week. Fits great.
Cellular reception same as original band on ATT network (using truephone sim).

Same price and I'm pretty sure it's the same vendor. Took less than 2 min to swap bands. Just be careful not to drop the tiny screws. hard to find.

Received mine a few days ago from the Amazon vendor to the UK without incident. Works fine on the W200E (3G) variant - I think there probably is only one model of band with regards the internal antennae.

Still, the leather was a little pale for my tastes and I don't like buckles. Off to the internet for a clasp and time to break out the leather dye. Happy now......:

Mine (from ebay) did not have the buckles

I may have to grab one of these. Looks nice.
