Hello
i just received my 42mm Black Classic Buckle (from apple)
can i use 24mm bands with the adapters that came with the band?

If the genuine adapter is the same as all the knockoffs then 24mm should be perfect.
You need a P2 pentalobe driver.

Anyone tried to put 24mm 3rd party band on the original apple watch adapters?

Don't know if it was 22mm or 24mm but the guy from "unbox theory" made a video using the original apple adapter.

I have the 42mm Black Classic buckle from Apple and put on a strap that is marked as 24mm but measures closer to 23mm. Here's a photo. I think you could squeeze on a true 24mm strap, but it could be pretty tight if the strap is bulky and/or stiff.

I wish I could answer for sure but the 22mm Nato strap I ordered disappeared somewhere in USPS. Scheduled for delivery May 22, left a regional facility, and then POOF! Gone. A 24mm might be okay but order from a source who will exchange or refund and you're set.

I finally got the two-piece Nato strap replacement for the one that went missing, but they shipped me a 24mm instead of the 22mm I ordered. That was great, though, since not only does it fit the 24mm third-party spring bar adapter (the eBay one mentioned so often), but also fits very well the Apple adapter from the Classic Buckle as shown here. It's a very comfortable strap that works well with the Sport watch.
