Non-OEM (FAKE/CLONE) Apple Watch Bands

Bobioden said:
Freedomoclock09 is actually charging $50 for the same band and it is a pre-order. So that is $20 difference, as Inkoo888 is accepting $30 bids.

That's weird because it says here $40.90 and that's what I payed him for my 38mm so maybe for the 42mm.

One of the seller on Aliexpress called Regis shows that he has about 80 odd orders for his US$200+ 1:1 clone of the link bracelet. Anyone here ordered from him? If so, have you received your item yet?

Just got my white sport band knock off from this seller.

Looks great! Feels just like my OEM sports band. Supple and soft. Only problem was the engagement mechanism was a little thick so I had to shove it in and it stripped off a bit of the buttons 'rubber' works great now but not as smooth of an install.

Looks Good!
How is the band holding up in terms of staying fastened?

Thanks for the pics. I wonder what it is that the fake Leather Loops near the case don't go closer to the edge thus leaving a slight gap. Manufacturing issues?

Looks fine to me. I'm not too picky though. I'll take some pics and upload them when I get a min.

Here you go. I wore it all day today and it was great. Magnets are strong and it's very comfortable. I'm happy with it.

Guys, inkoo888 or whatever his name is alright. I got my adapters from him. He responds to emails and send me a free replacement when I thought something was wrong with my order. Also, he ships from China to NJ, then reships from there, which is why it takes so long for what appears to be domestic shipping. Took while indeed but the guy had good communication and customer service.

I want a good 1:1 clone for sure, but waiting is killing me :)

If you want you can follow me on Twitter. I'm about to take a look at the 0.5:0.5 clone this week. Might help to get more excited about the 1:1 version. Quite astonishing quality. I'm pretty sure it will be worth the wait.

He is a reliable seller. I trust him.

Wow, that looks crappy indeed. I would immediately file a complaint and return it. I think SIKAI should definitely don't get any more mentions here. That is terrible quality.

I will follow you on twitter! Love to see the progress.

Yep, that waiting time is hard. I'm sure it will be worth it though. ;-)

I'm new here, but was reading this thread before I ordered a link clone band from Aliexpress (I'm also new with Aliexpress). I ordered this one last week:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...351.html?tracelog=ae-app-ios-sharefor-shkmail

It says it's a 1:1 clone, and that its the actual pictures of the band. I received it today (only took 4 business days with express) and it's not as advertised, not quite 1:1. See photos below. I'm really happy with it since you can't tell it's not 1:1 when your wearing it. The quality is really good too, the only difference is the clasp and there are no easy release buttons for the links.

Hmmm that's not a exact 1:1, I would have the seller up on it by advertising it as a 1:1, although it looks nice.
I hope that is not what I receive, from the one I ordered from Regis on Aliexpress, I will be disappointed. I am after a exact 1:1 with the correct butterfly clasp and quick release links.

Yeah I submitted a dispute for a partial refund of $100 (originally paid $200). Not familiar with Aliexpress, maybe it's too big of a discount i requested, but I'll see how I go..

Is it comfortable?
 
Fake will always be cheaper and "assumes a better deal", but remember what u are getting...

U pay for quality.. just like anything...

You don't get a rust bucket and expect it to zoom like a Ferrari do u?

Congratulations! I guess you're the first to have this upgraded model in this forum. Until now the band was just as you received it but the clasp was not replicated to look like the real one from the outside. I would say that band is worth about 80 to 120 USD currently.
