Looks niceJust got my iWatch S2 SSBlack with an Apple leather loop. Used an amazing employee discount for it
please be careful with it, leather band is not waterproof and very sensitive to soaking
It's just me and my own personal preference
The clash of the silver lug to the black watch case would do my head in

Picked up a link band from MoKo and I love it. Feels just like Apple's.
Hi mate
What is the clasp like and is the space between its link wide?
Hi Dino,
Can you take a closeup of the lug with the case, I have a feeling the lug more matches the sports black edition (matt look) not the SS...
Could be wrong though
Series 2 Space Black SS, 42 mm with Horween Nomad leather strap, this is their modern build version.
Here is my Space Gray Sport Series 2 sporting red sport bands and a red face. (Looks salmon colored in the photo)
Great. I'm also planning to get a red sports band. Not sure if original or eBay at the momentHere is my Space Gray Sport Series 2 sporting red sport bands and a red face. (Looks salmon colored in the photo)
I purchased mine through Amazon. Fits very nicely, feels great and looks very close to the real one unless you get really close. You can see some minimal flash molding lines on the edge, and the metal post material is less polished. Other than that, it's pretty spot-on.Great. I'm also planning to get a red sports band.

Sorry, but none of the third party sport band copies feel remotely as good as the original. They are thinner, way less supple, attract lint and have molding lines. There are lots of nice third party leather bands, but the sport bands from Moko et al. are all rubbish.
Agreed! I did buy a 3rd party and i knew / expected an inferior product. Nothing beats original equipment.
The red one I bought is really pretty damn close. It's actually thicker than the apple one, and it's very soft, although it's not quite as smooth, but I imagin if I took a magic eraser to it, it would end up feeling just like the apple one. (Red one is the knock-off).
......can't take any pics at the mo (at work!!)however, I can say, the lug and watch buckle in my pic is definitely matt black. On my watch, it kinda blends in because I also have a matt black case on my Space Grey 42mm watch.
The matt black lugs may look a little weird on the Space Black watch as the watch itself would be shiny but the lugs will be matt.

I thought so too! But I've gotten use to the two tone colors. It gives the Space Black a silverish hue. I might change the lugs and get some from Amazon.

I'm really loving the Red colour rubber strap with my black SS watch case
Having that combo and the dial and numbers mixed with white and red is a great looking Watch
I have just ordered the Red leather loop from Jtech, mostly good reviews but will see when it arrives and giving it some time to perform
