Third party Sport Loops eBay UK?

[ledzepfan1981]

I’m looking for third party Sport Loops from eBay UK please? I ordered Camel, Alaskan Blue and Khaki from a seller, but when they arrived today, they looked nothing like the photos.

Just looking for recommendations please. Thank you.

Hi there.

The best 3rd party that I tried is from URVOI brand. It was a friend indication. They sold on AliExpress only.

So, I’ve already bought several times and all bands (silicone, sports, leather) worked perfect like a charm.

I have almost 12 and there’s no difference between original and from these.

Give a try. I did 5 days ago another purchase, please find the screenshot attached.

Post your thoughts later.

 

[ledzepfan1981]

Thank you, I'll take a look.

Search for item numbers 392591297259 and 174045176521

I have bought a few of both of these and cannot fault them. Especially for the price.

Really fast delivery too

I've just looked and these prices are in dollars. I'm from England and that's why I said eBay UK.

*EDIT* I apologise. I should have done my research, there's an English version in GBP. Thank you again.

Could you post photos of you wearing the URVOI nylon straps please? Thank you.

I was going to say.... I am also in the UK and they’re the item numbers I bought, from eBay.co.uk

 

[ledzepfan1981]

Thank you. I looked on that site, but the customer photos that was taken of the khaki strap didn't look like what that seller's photos looked like. I've tried another seller on eBay and see if I have more luck this time.

I’m an idiot!

The reason why the bands I bought didn’t look like what I thought they looked like was because I was fitting them on wrong! Here’s what the third party Khaki one looks like:

The third party sport loops, for the money, are bloody good to be fair.

The only thing I don't like about the Apple 'spec' ones like this khaki one is the different colours in the strap? I like them all to be a solid colour.

I have black, dark grey, army green and light grey third party bands and in total they cost about £10 for all four - Absolute no brainer against Apple's £50 loops. Even if you have to replace them once or twice a year. Even the silicone ones that cost about £5 a piece - Okay, they're a slightly different material but they still look and fit the same - Again, no brainer. You can buy 10 thirs party bands for the price of one Apple band!

I do want to find a dark/navy/midnight blue sport loop but am yet to find one that's dark enough for my liking and a solid colour.

Got a forest green eBay knock off leather loop through today.... £8.... Not real leather obviously but feels like leather, looks like leather, looks exactly like Apple one and the magnet is really strong. I'll post a pic later

I bought the nylon ones for around £3.20 each via a 3 for the price of 2 offer on eBay and I’ve just received today 3 silicon Nike-style straps for around £3 each via another 3 for the price of 2 offer on eBay. I’m very happy with both sets.

Since it's not real leather, do you think it'll withstand getting wet?

Probably more so than real leather as you’re not meant to get real leather wet.

It won’t get wet anyway as if I were to use my AW for anything where it’ll get wet, I’ll have a sport band on it.

I was bought this one for Christmas off eBay, but it may not be dark enough for you still.

Not keen on the flecks of purple in it to be fair

I'm after a solid dark blue

Surely there must be one somewhere? If I see one, I’ll let you know.

Could those recommending products please post the eBay seller's names? The product numbers are no longer valid. Appreciate this thread is a few months old now - thank you!!

I have recently bought 10 bands from this seller on ebay and they are extremely good quality. I think there is one factory somewhere in China where all these sellers get their 3rd party stuff from, hence they are all the same!

Theres also this seller on eBay - a newer seller (but might have had accounts in the past), however the quality is still exceptional, just like the others.

Have had no issues from either of them.

Fabulous, this has been really helpful! I'll take a look - can't believe how cheap they are!

 

[ledzepfan1981]

Yes thank you for this.

 

[yellowbunny]

Thank you for the links. I ended up ordering 6 sport loops. They’re great! And so cheap.

 

[PaulyD]

I ordered from this person: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/tools2018?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

From the link above they seem to have the exact same colour options and the bands I got have been great also. Do agree it appears that they all come from the same factory.

As kindly recommended by Sirious I ordered from a seller called gift_6631 and I am extremely pleased! Very fast shipping, it arrived 4 days after purchasing (despite telling me it would take over 2 weeks to arrive) and the straps are comfortable and feel secure. I haven't purchased genuine Apple sport loops before so can't compare, but I already prefer these over my genuine Apple sport band.
