Can I use any other watch bands (not for Moto 360)?

Hi guys,

I thought that I have to buy Moto 360 genuine watch bands to change the band. Today, one of my friends told me that any watch bands on the market are available on Moto 360. Is it true?

Yes. There are a few on Amazon and there are videos on youtube on how to change them. Its kind of awkward with the 360 to take out the band and replace it.

Any 22mm band (assuming you have that model) that is thin enough to fit inside the casing (some padded leather bands are too thick to fit) should work. The only thing you may have to do to them is make a cutout (in the center of the band where the pin goes through) but otherwise, the answer is yes. However some bands already have this cutout from the factory.

I know for a fact that the metal bands from the Pebble Steel (around $25-35 depending where you get them) will work just fine, and they already have the cutout I referred to earlier. But if you're looking at a leather or silicone band, and it's thin enough to fit but doesn't have the cutout, you just need to make the modification I mentioned earlier (easiest way is to use your original Moto 360 band as a template).
