Gear S2 Classic Stainless Steel Band - Samsung Gear S2

I was looking for a new band for my Gear S2 Classic. Any straight stainless steel band would have a hideous gap between the watch and the band. The following band is advertised to work with the Gear S2 Classic, and if it works, it wouldn't have the gap:
TRUMiRR 20mm Stainless Steel Watch Band Curved End Strap Butterfly Buckle Bracelet for Samsung Gear S2 Classic (SM-R732 / R735), Moto 360 2 42mm Men,Black
It looks like a regular curved watch band. I wasn't sure if regular curved bands worked without some level of tampering like filing it down. Does anyone have info about this?

Don't know about this one, but what you should be looking for, if you want to fill the gaps, is the official ceramic band. It's fantastic

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

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.

Accessories Stainless Steel Watch Bands - 20mm doesn't fit

I have bought two 20mm stainless steel watch bands for my 46mm Watch 4 Classic, neither have fit, wondering if we need a 19mm. Bought a Fullmoso and Acestar, both same result. I also bought a 20mm silicone sport band which fits fine. Anyone find a 20mm stainless steel band that actually fits?
I have a couple of leather straps I bought recently and both 20mm 1 is Fullmoso . I have a 20mm stainless steel I bought 3/4 yrs ago and that fits my 46mm Classic .
Might worth popping in a jewelers if any local and checking some of there straps(you don't have to buy)
Same for me as well, I brought a 20mm stainless steel watch band and it wouldn't fit to begin with, but managed to get it to fit in the end by filling both ends down on the band.
Yikes, didn't want to go that route, did another 20mm that said specifically for Watch 4, Acestar, same issue, then ordered a 19mm Fullmoso, too narrow and too much play....waiting for more to hit the market
Here's the problem... It's not 20mm
Measured with calipers and it's 19.8mm
Is the watch lugs being less than 20mm a wider issue? I don't have calipers to measure.
It would suck if I can't use all the bands I have ordered.
I ended up just taking a Dremel to two 20mm steel bands I had bought for my 46mm classic. I shaved just a hair off each side where the pin goes on the bands and they fit fine after that. It really is a tenth of a mm off or something like the OP showed.
Picked this one up from Amazon and it worked perfectly.

Indeed! The first problem is that the lugs are curved inward. So the distance between the holes exactly 20mm. HOWEVER, the distance between the lugs at the narrowest point is 19.8 to 19.9mm (like you, I just measured with calipers and it is hard to get an exact reading on something slanting inward). OMG Samsung, what a stupid move. So this could cause a bit of bind if the band is really close to being 20mm wide.
The second problem people seem to have with metal bands is that the band can actually rub against and scratch the circular case, depending on how "thick" the band is.
The third problem is that some people want a more finished look to the band to fill the "gap." To illustrate what I mean, attached is a photo of my most-excellent Casio WaveCeptor. Notice how it connects to the watch body completely.
For all these reasons, I did some searching and found a new and unique metal band for the GW4C- one that fills that gap by design. Nothing like it on Amazon, but on Ebay, there is this:

Thanks, I missed that part with my very old and tired eyes! Look forward to see how it comes out!
anyone have the exact measurement of the watch. i see a band that is 185mm(7.28 in) so with the watch length would it fit an 8" wrist? Is the watch at least 1 in long?

From pin location on top to pin location on the bottom seems to be exactly 5cm.
I bought these (mine are all black, but dont seem to be listed anymore) and they do fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVPWFZS
They were a little bit of a pain to get on as you cant have the band straight out from the plane of the watch while inserting the pins. You have to let the band lay like it will when its on your wrist, then they fit. This made it much harder than need be while doing the second pin as you dont get nearly as much play.
I tried a few others and all had the same issue of being too large and hitting the watch chassis.
Anyone get a stainless steel band to fit yet?
Using this modded Aliexpress Rolex replica. The end links are not solid so are easy to bend to fit. There are plenty of non branded ones to that should fit.

Question classic watch band size

what size wrist will the standard leather band fit? I assume id is a range. i am thinking of gett a classic but want to be sure it will fit my wrist. my wrist is 8-8.25 inches around
The standard band is not leather - it's silicone. And it's a size large, so if it doesn't fit your wrist, you'll have to get an aftermarket band that does.
tnx for the reply. i did manage to find a local tmoble store that I could try on the watches. while the classic looks nice don't think its worth the extra bucks at this time. the standard strap will fit me so will start with that but think i will go with a ss mesh as a standard carry.

Question Using 20mm and 22mm bands on Watch 4 from Watch 3...feedback please

Hi!
So now that the watch has been out for a while, are the Watch 3 bands compatible with the Watch 4 (44mm)?
I saw someone selling this:
Compatible Model:
20mm Band Width Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 41mm
22mm Band Width Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 45mm
So was wondering if either of those will fit my 44mm (getting it on Christmas).
Thanks
Not sure, but maybe some info in this active thread :
Galaxy Watch 4 44mm looks terrible with 20mm straps
Wasn't a fan of the rubber strap that came with the Galaxy Watch 4, mainly because of the gaps when on the wrist, so i bought myself a good quality leather strap. But because of the 20mm fitting the strap looks to thin on the watch, & looks...
