Sport Ridge and hybrid leather bands options.

[mlblack16]

I don't have the hybrid leather bands yet, but I did just receive the sport ridge bands today and wanted to share the results. The price for these bands was only approximately $5. The cost of the hybrid leather is approximately $10 each, both well below what Samsung charges of $39 and $49 respectively.

The look and feel of these are very similar to the one that came with the watch. One complaint about this style of band was that it doesn't want to flex toward the case. However, these actually will allow flexing so the band comes down more on the rest just beyond the case.

In all, I am very impressed and consider these a great bargain. I will update with the hybrid leather. Those are the ones that I am really excited about and hope they work just as well for the cost.

Always have a difficult time getting pics to load. Perhaps it's a file size limit using the app?

I like the style of band that my watch that I got from best buy came with. It doesn't have a buckle to close it on the wrist, my band kinda underlaps with no need for rubber buckle. It's so hard to tell which style is which on the website.

I kept my Sport Band on my A2 the whole time I had it. I loved how it went underneath cause it usually was too long for me when it went in the buckle part. I love how it goes under. I bought a similar band off Amazon for $6.99 and it's my favorite. I will keep it on always and not go back to the silver band that came with my A2 or the white one that came with this one. But I will probably order one or 2 more of these in different colors cause they fit so good and I like them and for 6.99 not a bad deal. I would like one nice band though like a silver bracelet type but the one I had for my A2 was to big.

Posting pics of the leather bands I ordered off eBay. I'm very surprised by how closely they match the ones from Samsung. This is in brown.

Here's a side by side of black...can you tell which is which?

Considering the price comparison, this is a great bargain. As long as you're willing to wait about 3 - 4 weeks.

Tons of color options available

Yup, the only real discernable difference is in the little straps on the short band. On the Samsung model, those are just silicone like the underside. On the other, they're leather, which actually looks better.

Considering the stock band is $50 I would have no issues recommending these to anyone who would like multiple colors and not break the bank.
