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

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

Why did ya get both? Does the finish feel the same? Is the quality any better? What do yo think of Sony releasing it, good idea or what? Does it seem more sleek? Which do you prefer?

I like it but it costs more from what I have seen so I don't think I'll update my black SW2. By the time it drops in price the new Sony watch will probably be upon us

the quality is exactly the same, no different from the black metal one. it's all a matter of taste. but it looks very classy rather than the black one. the price I got it for was 145 euro from an online seller here in Greece. I had paid 165 for the black one back in September when it first came out.

Which will you wear more? I just got a silver and a black metal band. It'll make it look classy. Nylon looks tacky to me. I love my sw2 . The silver one is silver all around . You all should post pics of your silver watch. Or any watch w. Custom band

I'd like to see that too. I tried on the demo at my Best Buy today and the stock strap won't adjust big enough to fit on my wrist. You'd think Samsung would have known that more people than tiny Asians might want to wear this watch.
I was wondering about this as well. I have the neo so I don't think it would look right. I think it would look good on a regular gear 2 cause of the metallic look

Lets see it
leather watch strap
this is the strap I put on mine.
I just bought some from Clockwork Synergy..
http://www.clockworksynergy.com/shop/product-category/pebble-replacement-watch-strap/
Granted, this link is for the Pebble sizing, but I like the video (PLEASE NOTE TO ORDER THE 20mm for the Gear 2). I bought the following two, just so I could see how the bands stack up...
- Purple Nylon Loop Band
- Green Rubber Band
They should be here Tuesday! As soon as I get it, I'll post some pics (especially considering I wanted something a little bit more 'colorful', maybe I'll be able to represent for some of the female geeks here!) :fingers-crossed:
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------
Now I keep seeing everyone ordering 22mm... well, crap. :[
I kept reading it was 20mm.
Yup, as i posted in another thread, i have a metal band and i love it. I just went to a jewelry store and picked one up. It was 40, but its a good band with a lifetime warranty and most importantly, i was able to see it with the Neo BEFORE buying it. That and it was installed for free and adjustments if/when i need them.

The band i put on, as seen above, is a metal one and it ranged 18-22 mm. That being said im pretty sure what i read was that it IS a 20mm band.

Everything I've seen says 22mm and I replaced mine with a 22mm that I always used with my pebble before I got the original gear. I think you want 22mm.

It's a Man's band. If you check out the reviews most are actually from Male Pebble watch users. 22MM would be awfully big for a woman's watch band!!
Technically the watch band is listed under...
Watches > Women > Watch Bands
Watches > Men > Watch Bands
Watches > Accessories > Watch Bands
Nowadays, with smart watches, they are unisex. Anyone with a Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo, regardless of sex, will need a 22mm band. Now, if it was hot pink.. lol
The original plastic band was giving me a weird rash. So I picked up up a simple leather band from wallmart

Thanks for sharing the photo. I really like the stock band/clasp, but I need to find one just a little larger.
I found a deployant clasp that I like, it's a knock off of a tag heuer clasp, it's about $25. Then I just need to find a band similar in texture to the stock band.
Here is the clasp style I like..

It's definitely more of a 22mm than 20mm. The bands I got I have to exchange. We shall wait and see.
NOTE: The nylon loop band will require some moding if you want to use the heart rate monitor, as it wraps around the bottom of the Gear 2.
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.

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.

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.

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! 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.
