How wide are the bands? Similar to the sport?

I'm waiting for the knockoff bands to hit ebay, will pick up a bunch of them. Love the look of the Nike design, just didn't want to pay for that specific watch.
I swapped the stainless steel connectors on my Pad and Quill "Whiskey" leather band for black ones I ordered and really like the look. My girlfriend thinks only black bands go with the SG watch but I disagree.

I got that same band and I think it is almost a perfect match color wise for the watch
Currently sporting this band, and I switch to the Nike Sport band for workouts and runs ....

This is the band -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0117MD8NA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like the band. I've only had it two days, but it feels and looks nice.
With respect to adjusting, a co-worker is a watch geek and works on watches, so I asked him to do it for me. It took him less than 5 minutes, and he said it wasn't a big deal.
I got the two discontinued colours I really wanted; Fog and Orange. Next up, Green and Royal Blue. The search for those begins!
Still kicking myself for not getting Royal Blue when it was widely available, all the places I've looked recently have been out. Oh well, having too much fun wearing half-LightPink, half-Mint lately anyway.
Fwiw
Hoco make the best version of that band if you like chunky heavy. Its different than a lot which look the same. Its substantially heavier and more "refined" / durable in feel.
Hoco 3 bead Ebay or amazon. There is also a five bead.
I reviewed it on reddit.

Maybe thats helpful.
You have to remove links the traditional inexpensive but now it may ship with the little tool which is simple to use. Or you can buy the link removal tool for a buck or two.
@tomacwhite,
Can you post the product ID numbers for the orange, green and royal blue please. Thanks.

...that looks great however, I can't help but think that any Milanese Loop (whether fake or Apple's genuine) is gonna slip whilst being worn.
As an example, I have a genuine Apple Leather Loop, which I occasionally wear, however, I do find that I have to constantly adjust it during the day as my wrist size changes (smaller when its cold, bigger when its warmer).
With a strap with an actual buckle, I find its better as the size it set by the hole the buckle is in.....!
My spigen milanese loop does slip some throughout the day. The magnet still stays attached so i don't worry about my watch falling off my wrist. I agree with you I think they all will slip some. Still to me it is the best milanese loop to go with the space gray apple watch. The color is so close to a perfect match.
Just got my amazon Nike knockoff. It's actually really nice. Even better than the Moko ones.

Just got this one from Nomad Goods. I think it's great so far. Apple Sport band next to it for comparison.

I have a classic woven band ( what the AW came with )
black sport band-OEM
white sport band-OEM ( Original equipment manufacture )
and a 3rd party nike blk/ grey band.
I really like the classic woven i just don't like that when i wear it a lot it gets that crease thats permanent. So i try not to wear it a lot . The sport bands are obviously gym and hiking being active. I live in Portland Oregon so were outside all the time.
The Nike sport band is ok. It came from China its a little thinner than the oem sport bands but it is what it is. No color bleeding and i even got the small band and its super long. Im actually debating on cutting it because it folds under the watch.
I can't wait till i get access to the market place. ( i have cash in hand now if people want to sell me their extra bands )
I want a brown leather loop or 3rd party red leather loop. Just for when i want to dress it up and wear a suit. I wouldn't mind a red sport band. My Birthday is coming up so lets see what i get.
Id like to try and get OEM apple leather loop because i don't want to mess with adapters and then they are off a shade or two. ok enough gabbing from me. If any one has a question just ask.
