Juuk Vitero Bands

Looks like there’s only a couple of color combinations ready to ship next day when you order direct. Most others ship either February or June(!). Love my Ligero strap and may well order one of these too.

I got a vitero cerulean last week,like it so much I ordered a vitero citron & ligero cobalt which I should have tomorrow.
I know they are expensive but you are getting top quality.
Kinda wish I hadn't found these Juuk bands as they are becoming addictive

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long!
[doublepost=1517518119][/doublepost]I was just informed that my band would ship next week.
Yes, it’s easy to get hooked on these. I haven‘t told my wife that I ordered another band. She thinks that one is all you need!
I have seven currently and have discarded a few over the years of owning Watch. Juuk seem to have found a nice sweet spot between the $550 Apple wants for a quality link band and the $30-50 that the Chinese brands look for something of lesser quality (to be clear though I'm not ragging on these. I've bought many, knowing that they may not wear so well or have very good quality clasps/leather/metal etc. but you get what you pay for and you can change up the look of the watch inexpensively).
What I hope this does is demonstrates to other potential manufacturers is that there is a middle market who will pay a bit more for good quality and good design. I'm hoping juuk themselves diversify a bit too.
They diversify too much for my taste. Every time I look at their site, there is a host of new bands. I can't even find the one I ordered, and I haven't yet received it.
lol their website is not so great. I would like to see them do some leather bands and other things too. Perhaps some bands more targeted to women, as most of them are not very feminine and I’d like to get my gf something too. She’s currently sporting some leather Coach bands, which are actually pretty nicely made too.
Ok just got these two bad boys today, I am now officially a Juuk fanboy
Did you get the link tool... the guy in the other thread didn't get his.. wondering if they send you one.
No disrespect to that guy but I’m but between the massive walls of text, experiences contrary to pretty much everyone else and (admirably honest) that he “may” get some at no charge, well, I’m not sure how seriously to take it. Maybe it’s just me.
You’ve quoted me from another quest (although I don’t recommend you visit it lol)
Yeah, I visited and noped right back out of there again. Not sure what the deal is. Oh well, patiently waiting on Vitero Granite to become available!
I received my Vitero Granite band yesterday, but I find it devilishly difficult to fit. The connectors do not slide in easily, as they do on an Apple band. You need to hold down the button that you use to detach them. Also, both band connectors need to be attached simultaneously. You can't attach them one at a time.
Then there is the sizing question–link removal and reattachment–that requires an elaborate fitting of steel pins out and in. I simply don't have the manual dexterity for this sort of thing, so I'm returning the band.

There's and odd thing - I had the exact same problem - I always found it really hard to press the button and get the band to start to slide out. Except when I took the Watch to a Genius on Friday he was able to remove it in the blink of an eye. I guess it really does come down to "You're pressing it wrong"....
People should know that if you want to return one of these bands, you will need to send it to the founder of the company in Hong Kong so that he can inspect it to assure "that it’s in perfect condition, unused and without scratches or dents." If it passes inspection, he will "let Cult of Mac know to issue the refund." You will have to make you own label.

for people that have had their bands for a few months, how easily scratched are they? I would think that the blue or red ones, if scratched, would be pretty obvious, since it's aluminum.
Saw and handle one of this aluminium Ligero Rainbow during a trip in HongKong. The quality looks good, never have a chance to wear it for long period i guess some of the fans here would justify. : )
Sharing the place where you find it stuck or refuse to get/flow in naturally would be great. For my experience with several third party connectors, one thing you can try is to use you finger to push the lock ( metal pieces in the middle of the adaptor while sliding, its located direct opposite of the middle black rubber parts ) and it should get you going. Else easiest way is to get a replacement : )
I almost backed Juuk on one of the crowd funding sites a while back. Nice to see they are still around and making some nice bands. I am putting one of these on my personal wishlist.
