I really want to replace the band with a metal one. Has any one else done this yet? Do you have photos if you have?

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

it should work with any 22mm metal watchband. I put an after market leather watch band on mine and it looks and feels great.

All I could find was this: http://www.strappedfortime.com/shop/category.aspx/22mm-watch-bands/31/
Id love to get a black metal replacement myself... I am starting to notice 22mm is kinda thin and girly =/
This might look cool though:

Hey just checked out Amazon, and I think I may order this:
http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Ste...7676462&sr=1-1&keywords=22mm+steel+watch+band
The price is right and looks like it will fit, the only thing I am curious about is if I need to get the spring hinge things too? We need a watch expert in the house to help us nerds out!... lol

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:

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.

Your username is AspenMan but you ordered a woman's watch band? But then again, what's the difference between a man's and woman's band anyway?

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.
Looking to find a nice replacement band for my Gear 2 for my wife. She would like it to look a lot more "girly"
When I go to order a band can I order a 18mm? I figured then it would be a thinner band hopefully so it doesn't look so huge on her wrist. I read that it works with 18-22mm bands. I have never replaced a band before wouldn't it be one size?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
I tried to post a link to one I found on amazon but it won't let me because I haven't made enough posts on the forum. the one I found is called [SR White Italian Calfskin Leather Padded Crocodile Grain 22mm Watch Strap with Rose Gold Buckle] ASIN: B00CKINUPW
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:

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

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 just got this one:

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.

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.
