A word of warning, if you do business with a company that has been shown on here, named "DO-STRAPS", what you receive may not be what you ordered. I ordered a couple of straps for the Apple Watch, 42mm, and the photos on the website clearly show the proper strap, with the proper attachment to the watch. However, when I received the straps, (a month later), the straps do NOT have the Apple Watch connectors, but simply springpin type connectors. Upon contacting the vendor, he is quite adamant that the pictures (QUOTE)"That is just to show the strap may use together with adapter fitting apple watch." He refuses a refund, only if I spend my money +$6 to ship the items back to him. Photos attached.

Nuts! No one does straps that way!

Bummer bc those straps are cool!
 
I had a quick look and on the site by the pictures it says -
Attachments: Adapters excluded
Durable and classy nylon nato watch strap, replacement straps for 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch. Each nylon watch strap is with steel hardwares installed without Adapters

So sorry you have been caught out. Its the old thing, buyer beware! I don't think you have any comeback as its detailed on the webpage (unless it wasn't when you ordered and you have a copy of the old page).

Yes, I see that now, but why don't they show the item for sale as the exact item you will receive, rather than what "could be" if you spend the extra money? That's what gets me, and IMHO it's false advertising, because the item pictured is not what is sold. Oh well, I simply learned a lesson, and will not do further business with that outfit again; too much HONEST competition out there. :)
 
You can get the adapters on Amazon for about 8.99. They come in Black and Silver. I got lucky and purchased a paracord band and it came with the adapters.

I think if I can't get a settlement from the vendor (It's in Paypal dispute now), then that's what I'll do, the bands appear to be of decent quality, but I'm so upset at the way the product was presented, I won't buy anything from the original vendor.
