Did anyone get metal band for GEAR S2 Classic?
I found one on amazon, but not sure how will it be looking.
Looking for other models also.
I bought it on eBay, but still waiting for delivery.
I found on other forum, that e.g. @forkee has this one and it looks like that: [1] [2] , which is nice imo.

Thanks for sharing. I`m not impressed by Amazon feedback of that Ritche band though.
Can you share pics when you get that band from Ebay?
I found an excellent metal band. It's very high quality and looks great. I've purchased several bands from this site before. Check it out here:

Here you are guys - some pics from my S2 Classic with metall band --> http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gear...s-armbaendern-watchfaces-etc.html#post2186176
Bought it at amazon - it´s that one you linked - 20 mm standard band. Really good quality and looks pretty more expensive than it is

Looks great!
How did you shorten the strap?
Did you use a tool or take it to the watch shop?

Really nice looking :good:
How accurate is colour matching?
As far as I can see on pics there are some difference, the band has matte finish while watch is more glossy.
Ceramic strap just arrived!
The ceramic strap that I had ordered from AliEpress a few weeks ago just arrived.
The surface finish fits really well with the shiny ceramic coating on the Gear S2 Classic.
Between the brown leather band and this one, I'm set for now!

I did it by my own Was no problem but with special watch-tools. But altough, you only need a little micro srewdriver, a little hammer and a needle.

Yes that´s right. The colour does not fit exactly ... - but it does´t matter at daily use. You don´t see it really much.
I used a Lego block, a hammer and a watch tool to shorten the strap without any problem. Now it fits my wrist perfectly.
Well-matching Ceramic Strap for Classic!
Here are better photos of the ceramic strap after length adjustment.
Definitely a great looking match band for the Gear S2 Classic.

YUP just get any 20mm band. You may wish to stay clear of the NATO nylon straps if you want the heart rate monitor.
Also there are some curved ended bands and I don't think they will fit the Classic.
At the moment I have brown leather, ceramic and silicone straps in addition to the black leather that it came with.
If you search ebay you can find straps with quick release pins (much like what we have with the original classic straps

Woot nice! I have the same band
I haven't gotten my S3 yet but when I do i'm going to look for a few straps. Probably pick up a leather strap at the samsung retail store but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them here.
I Ordered 3 straps from amazon.
One leather and two metals. They are less than $15 each. Samsung will cost you a lot more.

Then my black Milanese loop band I purchased from Amazon.

Wow! The metal one looks simply amazing! Would you mind linking to the exact model you bought and also telling me how the colors match? I'm looking for something that is identical in color to the Classic watch.

here is the amazon link for that one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EPGZ67G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the colors match perfectly for the polished stainless parts and the machined finish parts in the middle are pretty close to the same texture as the bezel on the classic. It really makes the watch a lot more attractive and I've gotten quite a few compliments from people that just notice a nice looking watch on my wrist.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately it doesn't ship to where I live (nothern Europe).
I ordered the Samsung Aligator Brown and plain Black leather straps for my Frontier, only tried the Brown (looks way better in the box than the black).
Transforms the watch into a very chunky premium looking beast, strap loses the bulk of the horrible rubber strap.
Strap itself though feels hard and cheap underneath, length wise the slots are all wrong i barely get the the 3rd hole, but don't mind as then less strap excess hanging out.
Bought it direct from Samsung UK online.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I just got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QHPUG2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like it, although I don't love the gap between the watch and the band - you can see it in the third picture. I'm not sure if it's going to be different with any other band, but seems like it would look better with just a little thicker band around the connection pin.
I had gotten the V-Moro one, which looked nice, but didn't have the fine adjustment of length at the clasp, just the ability to remove links, which left me either too tight, or too loose.
Received a red Stingray leather watch band from Suisse Courroie.

I didn't find much but probably because I included gear s3 in my search
I ordered the below from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0733B1HB1/ref=pe_3034960_233709270_TE_item
Xuexy 20mm Full Ceramic Watch Band Stainless Steel Buckle for Samsung Gear S2 Classic (SM-R7320/SM-R735) Moto 360 2nd Gen 42mm 2015 Pebble Time Round,Black
Shipping was quick as it always is with Amazon. The black ceramic watch band (20mm) fit my Huawei Watch 2 (not classic) quite well, and made a nice improvement to the sport band it came with. The tools made changing the band and removing a link easy as well. Took about 10 minutes to do everything. I think it makes the watch look great, and I am very happy for the price.
Seems to be the same band they have on Ebay for slightly less, but I did not want to wait 2 months for it.
I do not have any complaints as of yet, and would make the purchase again.
Thought I would post this so people are aware 20mm bands work with the watch, and could see how it looks with this watch.
The watch face is thema's Swift Watch Face - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.thema.wear.watch.swift&hl=en
My main concern with this watch is that the arms/grips/*whatever you want to call that area where band clip goes* is just too big for 3rd party bands to seamlessly integrate with the watch. I bought a leather strap, but the size of the watch itself is soo huge that the strap looked like a teensy thread compared to the watch. if you notice, the factory fitted strap actually has 'side flaps' type design near the clip area increasing the strap width, which at least gives a smooth look to the watch overall in terms of size..

That is what I noticed with the Milanese Loop Band I tried - far too small for the watch and it looked silly. The ceramic one is a lot thicker and nicer, and looks great in my opinion. I just found the original to look a little cheap.

I personally don't prefer the ceramic/metal straps since I sometimes have to adjust the strap on the go, which of course is not possible with these types of straps
I really want Huawei to release some straps for its watches...
It looks shiney in the photos. I'd prefer something in flat black to match the watch body. If any one finds one similar in flat black please post.
If anyone is looking to buy the Extreme Sports Band, you can see how it looks in real life. Also you can AMA anything about it!

Thanks! I'd love to get a couple of these bands, but unfortunately still not available here in Canada - did you order direct from Samsung?
Honestly not a bad band. Pre-ordered it and like it better than the grey one that came with the watch. Still wish it was 22mm and the M/L size could be a little larger.

Ya directly from Samsung. It is basically a prebook offer for Watch 4 series in India.

Ya! Me too... I have a Citizen Blue Angels normal watch, could have used the band interchangeably! You mean larger width wise or length wise?
This looks great for my activities and workouts. Will be ordering! Cheers
For sports I prefer elastic cloth bands because cloth helps dissipate the moisture and doesnt trap it like silicone does and my skin thanks me for using my cloth band since I made the switch.
After workouts I just rinse the band thoroughly and I am good to go again.
So, these bands are now available in Canada, through the Galaxy Watch4 Bespoke Studio - but dayum, at $50 CDN ea. + tax, I think I might just wait to see what the AliExpress band that I ordered looks like...

I ran the Seiko divers band on my GW3 and it looked really nice. The 20mm version for the GW4 looks way too small. As for larger both width and length would be nice.
I have the white one. I really like it. Not as comfortable as the grey one that came with the watch, but it looks way better. Better for workouts too.
I keep breaking magnetic bands in the same place (3 times now, see pic below). They're typically off brand cheap bands from Amazon, am I just buying crap or just getting duds?
I don't think I'm abusing the bands, I just like keeping them tight on my wrist, also I need a large band that can fit 270mm or more
Just slap some Krazy glue on the band and press and hold it in place....probably just cheap manufacturing. I personally use the "link" style bands, but i don't see anything a diy fix can't resolve
Always be careful when ordering on Amazon. Anyone can sell on there, and there are a lot of scams and counterfeit items.
It would be kind of cool to see some DIY paracord bands if you're into that sort of thing/style, although, it would suck to ever need to use the paracord for anything other than a watch band. At least you'd "never" break the bands again.
Just bragged about these in another message just now but i guess I'll do it again! I work construction and I'm rough on stuff but these are tough as nails! I bought them from a seller on Etsy from Poland named Dganin. He makes some fine leather craft, a bit expensive but worth it! I bought one for my Frontier S3 years ago and just got another for my new Galaxy Watch 4..........
