We have the Milanese loop and Link Bracelet. Even the Sport band can be fancy enough on the SS or Gold.
It's not about having a cheap product - I just think it would be good to have a band that vegatarian a/vegans can wear that are same style as the leather ones.

I guess, but a lot of designers do you faux leather which many high profile centuries support.
Would be good though cause they could make one waterproof haha!
I wasn't too keen on milenase band when I tried on in game - looks good in pictures though
might get one down the line but ATM I'm sucking with sports band (not seen in person so hope it's ok lol)
The one important thing I have learned is if you want to make it easier in purchasing a 3rd party band you should get one of the Buckle watches that has

Thanks for the replies - surprised I wasn't trolled for my question haha!
There's a few kick starters that look great and offer more bands - I'll stick with the cheap sports band until they release these 3rd party ones I just love how simple the leather ones are and they don't look bulky at all!

I just love how simple the leather ones are and they don't look bulky at all!I'd certainly be interested in a faux-leather band for occasions that might demand a smarter watch band, will just have to keep an eye out on the third parties.
