sw2 w/ custom bands is best looking sw of all

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.

Smartwatch 2 brazil watchband

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.

Is the Gear S2 Classic durable? The finish coating....

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.

Replacement OEM straps?

Does Huawei offer the 22mm hybrid straps anywhere online for purchase? In reference to the Watch 2 classic.
I really like the hybrid leather/rubber style, and I want to get the black version.
Thanks!

+1 I’m looking for the darker brown version. Ironically enough, I don’t care for my black version lol

They have non genuine brown ones on eBay for $60 AUD. I'd be willing to buy your black one if you are willing to part with it?

Might have a look at these. They aren't the same quality as the OEM ones but they are hybrid. I have the dark brown one. It's really not that dark but for < $20USD it's fine. It is also not shiny but more open grain type. Only had it for a little over a week so can't talk to durability.
Not all the bands on this link are hybrid. There are also some plain silicone ones so be sure to look at the correct ones.

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.
