I went for black with a black silicone strap. I've ordered a different strap from Amazon which is black silicone in a tire tread pattern with metal running through the upper parts of the strap though to make it look a little more interesting.
Heavy Metal
I searched everywhere for the absolute best price and it came down to either the black metal for $150 flat or the black TPU for $136 + shipping at the time. Lately I've seen the black TPU hovering around $119 + $5.00 for shipping. Needless to say after realizing I was not going to find a decent metal band for $10 - $15 anywhere I went with the stock HEAVY METAL black.
I've got to say it does look super cool. I got boring always buying the varying chrome and silvers as dress watches. Now I've got my classy dress watch, my everyday knock around automatic watch, and my casual yet sophisticated black heavy metal Sony SmartWatch SW2. I look at it this way - if my wife and daughters (chicks in general) can have a million purses and pairs of shoes then I can have a watch (or toy) for any occasion.
I've had several people ask me, "is that the watch you can get your email or messages with?". Especially when paired up with my Xperia Z Ultra.
I just wish this puppy did more sensible things, that I don't have to pay an average of $3.00 per app, and came with more customization features out of the box.
There was only two choices when I got mine, black or black.
I got black (with a metal strap).
Using my smartwatch for all occasions now, just change the watch face accordingly.
Also got other straps for different occasions. If you go with the NATO style straps there's no messing around with the spring clips. Changing straps takes all of 30 seconds.

Black with metal black wrist band
Anyway, the Silver version doesn't exist at the time when I bought the SW2.
Even with the new Android Wear watches I still think that the SW2 it's the most beautiful and elegant SmartWatch
I've got the black silicone one, and i'll buy this maybe : http://www.ebay.com/itm/261154299564

Who agrees? Who dosent? With a nice fossil leather band for 10 bucks. Better or worse than pebble steel? I think better. Pebble steel has more bezil on bottom side, looks tacky. Anyone but a metal band for sw2?
Its hard to compare. I think it depends of bend. I purchase sony branded leather bend and its look even worse then rubber one for me...
I got a black leather one which made it look good, but a little too professional. Then I got a beige nylon strap which looks really good. I'd recommend nylon.

Agreed, I bought a cheap brown leather strap for mine on ebay and it looks great, definitely prefer it to the rubber strap that came with the watch. I might try a metal strap next
.
Fossil bands are 5$ at fossil outlet. Everyone post pics of custom watchbands on ur sw2. Shining I love pics of sw2 with 3rd party bands!
I'm all about the NATO straps on mine.
Guys im thinking of ordering a Sony SM2 on Friday but am not sure which strap to go for. My options are Silver metal, silicon or Fifa colours. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers
Depends on use. Those with silicon straps are the sports models which is why they come with a code for Runtastic Pro. Although I use the black silicon band because I run, for looks I prefer the metal straps. I couldn't possibly comment on the Fifa Colours.

The black metal strap that came with mine was way too heavy. I replaced it with a 24mm nato strap and it's nice and light now. A search for "24mm Nato straps" will give you a variety of styles and colors.
Original leather strap - black ... feels nice, looks nice.
Thank guys

Does anyone have the brazil watchband or know of a site that sells the band seperately? I can't seem to find any.
Many thanks for any advice!
The "Brazil Watch Band" is part of the 'Sony Smartwatch 2 FIFA Edition' and isn't sold separately.
It is so much better than that. Go to the Sony website and look at the photos of the other fabric bands, in different colours. Not only do Sony not sell those separately, they don't sell them at all, not even in Japan. How cool is that?
I have brought the Fifa edition today and it also comes with a black strap
beautiful

It won't be exactly the FIFA nato, but howsabout just getting a green and yellow striped Nato strap? Seems those are easy to find....

Can't find 24mm wide NATO strap that is thin enough to fit between the watch and the spring bar. Anything thicker than about 1.2mm won't fit. Have only been able to find 22mm wide NATO strap and it doesn't fit properly with a gap on either side showing silver spring bar. Bought 3 straps so far and I am not happy with the fit of any of them. Be careful with thicker fabric NATO straps as they are stronger than the spring bars Sony supply and will bend/break them is forced.
Its the only thing I am really disappointed about with the SW2. Sony should have left a bigger gap between the watch body and the spring bars OR actually made the fabric straps they advertise on their website available to us mere mortals.

Have you tried place nato strap before set spring bar? Instead of directly through this gap.

Yes, I tried but I could only get one of the spring bars back in place with the thicker NATO strap. And it was bending pretty bad, I was worried it might break. Those Sony spring bars are seem pretty low quality.
I have the standard dark gray model, but i'm thinking about picking up the classic instead in light of the reported strap issues with the standard model. I can't tell if the finish on the classic is going to be susceptible to chipping and scratching though. I know they're both stainless steel...but the classic appears to just have a high gloss painted finish on it that I worry would eventually start to peel or chip. Can anyone confirm?
thanks.

Had mine for a month and no chipping or scratching on the body of the watch at all. I treat it well though so it hasn't really gone through any real stress testing or rough conditions.
I've been ginger with mine but have had a few questionable calls on my end and the watch is brand new looking, just some accidental banging it into things like you do with something that protrudes from your wrist. I'm buying a skin kit and glass screen protector just for added insurance, I'll tell you how good those are when they come in. I tried the Pebble Steel band on it and it didn't work out too well. I'm getting a different one come monday.
No dents on mine (gym 3 times a week) with some random bumps etc.

Where did you order your skin kit from? I ordered a screen protector and steel band combo off eBay, but couldn't find a skin kit.
It should be pretty durable, it has a ceramic coating on it.
very good durable,good look and very effective.
Does anyone know where to get a replacement strap fro the Huawei watch 2 classic ? I'm looking for one in stainless steel to match the colour of the grey classic
I think i got this one and it matches the color:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01N47BF9R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1
no review yet: just installed it, but seems fine ^^
Most of the ones I've been looking at have complaints of the finish not being very durable and scratching or wearing through to the silver base metal very quickly. So I started to research ceramic bands but many of those look too glossy black. Ceramic will be very durable against wearing through to another base color but can be very brittle. Some have complained the bands are brittle and can crack/break if you catch your wrist on something like a door frame as you walk by. Not all of the are quick release so that's another issue if you like to be able to change bands easily (as I do) . Pretty much anything 22mm that goes well with the Samsung Gear S3 Classic will work well with the HW2 classic. One thing I have read is that 22mm Milanese Loop Mesh bands will not always fit because of how far back the pin holes are in the HW2 classic.
This ceramic one (not quick release) actually has a review from an HW2 classic owner with pictures https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DT36...olid=2W6Q0JM9LJ3OW&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Stainless but also not quick release https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072XGL7Z...olid=2W6Q0JM9LJ3OW&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I ordered this on amazon a month ago to the day. I just looked at my band when I stumbled across your thread and see that I've got more than a dozen spots that have worn through to silver (they're all on the bottom far side of my wrist).

This one comes close, but 60$ is restrictive price! Would love to get similar strap.
I bought this one in ceramic black 20mm. Looks like they're they might be out of stock now.
