I got one of these a few months ago. It's still sitting because there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the size. Do you see any way to tighten it up? (A lot?)

Other than the 3 holes in the metal part, no. I use the last hole and it fits perfectly, thankfully because I've had this on for a week now and love it.

GREAT contribution to the thread!! Really helpful and insightful. Have you any other useful nuggets like the earth is round or the sky is blue. You know, something equally enlightening??

I'd wear that! I just looked on Amazon, I wish they had one with a Space Black, Space Grey, or even simply Black connector to the watch...

When I saw the first picture all I thought was what a waste of money.
The second picture made up for it. The color matching is near perfect. Excellent choice it looks sharp.

Going to get another couple from Monowear. A leather Deployant one, the Monochest and not sure what other but for the price they are very nice.

You could drag your ass to Amazon or eBay and type "moko milanese"

Velcro strap? No really a fan of it, makes me think of a little kid's watch or sneakers or something. Plus the noise it makes, no thank you. Otherwise it looks nice.

...that's so wrong, yet funny!?!
Thoughts...?
[doublepost=1482168575][/doublepost]...some of those metal bands love enticing. Yet, I've read so many reports of scratches on the back of watches and even on the band itself, I'm nervous about buying one.
Thoughts...?
The scratched backs from milanese loops that I've seen were from apple's space black milanese. The DLC coating was tough enough to scratch both the ceramic and the watch body. I really doubt these third party milanese loops are using a DLC coating. My wife has a regular SS milanese loop and it hasn't scratched the ceramic back on her watch.

That's like the Velcro strap I always used on my Garmin, but not as bulky. Makes sense, and because it's so easy to remove, you can wash it and let it air dry while wearing the watch on another strap.

Just realized you're in the US - so you probably want this link - https://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Stainle...183797&sr=1-11&keywords=moko+apple+watch+band

The Moko Milanese bands feel pretty smooth but I generally try to make sure that it's not touching the back of the watch.
Just in case, you know.

I love the black version. Can't beat the price.
