Watch Bands for Moto 360 2nd Gen

[mxrider821]

Motorola still has the 1st gen watch bands on their website and that's all that's available. Does anyone know any place to get the official 2nd Motorola leather bands with quick release? Or any good 22mm bands with quick release? (I have the 46mm moto 360 2nd gen)

Post pictures of your watch with a different band or links to where to buy them if you have any please

I sidestepped all that and ordered this set of assorted watch band pins and a tool for changing them....opened up a whole world of 22mm straps and bands of various types:
Leegoal Watch Band Stainless Steel Link Pins+Spring Bars Remover Repair Tool Set - - Amazon.com

My favorite so far is this:

Both 46mm and 42mm watches have 22mm bands?

The 42mm men's version has a 20mm band I believe

I have the all black on black with a metal band 2nd gen. That band is a little too cheap for a $450 watch. I was more in the market for a nice leather one and I really like the stock Motorola ones that's why I want them.

Why spend $50 extra to get the metal band and then spend more to replace it?

Why not just return the watch and get one with the band you want?

I ordered a 46mm all black on black with black leather band yesterday. I got the micro knurled bezel, so it was $370. No way I'd spend $450 and then spend more to replace the bracelet.

Thanks for posting that! I was already contemplating getting a NATO band for my inbound 360 and I was wondering what I would need to do as far as strap pins goes. I was hoping the watch would come with a set of normal spring bars in the box.

You should post a picture of your watch with that band on it.

Who said anything about replacing it? I'm not replacing anything man, I just like having different options for my watches.. And with the new quick release, it's now easier than ever. I've owned all the top smart watches since day one when android wear started. Having the options to switch out the bands fast and easy is awesome! So I want some options that look good and aren't cheap because it's a nice watch. Don't get me wrong. The Black on black metal that I have now looks amazing and I like it a lot but I just wanted some leather bands as well.

I agree...having the ability to quickly change bands is something that I love about the new 360.
I have the all silver with the tan band. I would like the matching black leather as well as a stainless steel band so that I can change it up depending on what I'm wearing.
I also hope that they come out with a silicon type band to make it a little more casual.

Ah. I see. You said earlier that the metal band you got is a little too cheap fro a $450 watch. I took that to mean that you wanted to replace it and not use it any more. My bad.

I'm probably the wrong person for this conversation. I have never changed the band on any watch I owned, unless the band that was on there was worn out and needed to be placed or I wanted something that worked better (e.g. a NATO band, instead of a regular band). If I want something that looks different, I just wear a different watch.

NATO strap on my Moto 360 v2.

Strange how know one has any other bands really... I'm surprised

I'm still rocking the stock band, but I got my wife a 42mm for her birthday, she asked for the mens version because the tiny bands of the womens version looked weird with the size of the watch. We've picked up several from amazon of the standard 20mm bands. Fossil also has a great selection and most of them have the quick release on them.

This is the one we picked up she likes the best. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...h-strap-mint-sku-S201039P.html&token=keqJq4JS

Me too. What's up with that? It doesn't make any sense that the watches have been out for so long but you can't get the stock bands separately.

You can but just for the 1st gen unfortunately...

I just bought the 22mm Super Oyster Solid Stainless Steel Straight End Watch Band, Brushed, Button Chamfer from Amazon and put it on this morning. I really like it. It has a little heft to it (but not a lot). With the screw pins resizing was quick and easy.

Motorola just updated their website and they actually do have 1 band now for the 2nd gen, unfortunately it's not that great :/

The one you have looks pretty good!

What watch face are you using in that picture? Could you link it to me? At least, if it's Watchmaker compatible/an apk. It looks really good! Also, how does the band stay in its place? or can it slide back and forth?
