Do not know who they are kidding with such a small watch band would like to buy a larger watch band. (Adult size)
I am on the last two holes of the kids size (small wrist size) band.
Anybody know where I can order large watch band? (Canada)
Yeah the band is ridiculously small. As long as it fits though, I'm fine.
Me I can not decide if it fits,
Wear it slightly above the wrist, even on the last two holes I see a imprint where the watch was attached when I take it off.
Should be slightly snug (for the heart rate), it is.
I will keep my eye open, eBay should start selling larger straps soon.

You must have massive wrists. I'm 6'2" and weigh 205 and I'm not having an issue with the band size.

I concur. I have two additional notches left and I am a big boy.
Have you tried the other wrist? Perhaps your non-dominant one.
I am a big guy myself, got one hole left and I changed my mind.
Just needed to get used to it, I hardly know I am wearing it now.
If I get a new watch strap it maybe just for a different colour.
Inspired from the commercial showing the fit, I think it'd be possible to get a leather cuff/bracelet and cut out a hole the size of the Fit face and wear it that way. I'll look around for just such a thing
I think you first have to be fit before you can wear the gear fit
But true, it's a really kids size wrist band. Would love to see a all leather variant with decent size. Even a metal band would be great! Are you reading with us Samsung?

You can buy new strap in every official Samsung Store in country. In my small country (Slovakia) we have 3 official stores and also in other shops you can buy it. I have one standard size in black color and one XL size in orange color. But XL is too big for me.

Maybe they like Europe?
Canada has 3 stores, all out west and I am not driving 4000 or 5000km to see if they have wrist straps, me I bought one from eBay orange, standard size. Like I said the strap was not to small just had to get used to it.
Too small?!?! I'm dying for a smaller one! Yes I am a woman a not so small woman but these really aren't designed for us no smart watch right now is. I got the fit because it was the smallest of them all and mine is all the way in with the loop almost doubled!
The goof!
I wouldn't mind if the band were two notches larger.
I found the band too much hassle to fit quickly so got hold of a folding buckle, trimmed the band lengths, made holes for the spring pins and now the gear fits like a watch, just the right side of snug. Simple DIY job as I couldn't find anything in stores.
KMD19, That is a nice solution. I think I've seen those metal bands that have a pin for the watch band holes to still make it adjustable.
dwwright. Yes they are easily obtainable from the Amaz - Bay. I plan on making some more using the standard straps in various colours. It's the raised bumps on the underside of the standard strap that provides the space/thickness for the holes required. I used a cork board pin from both sides to make mine, after I'd cut off the excess strap, that was the only tricky bit.
In the UK I waited a but as the Samsung site was only shipping large bands, called said wait for small no stock, then emailed and got told for Europe only the Large band would be sold ???
It's way too damning big

has anyone found or have a legit known good arm band for the phone? Im looking for one that is MADE for the lte EVO so it never has a risk of falling out while running.
Just got the one from iArmbands. Without a case, the phone goes in well but the flap at the top is a bit tight to wrap over the phone. I use the Seidio Surface case, and while I can get the phone into the band, it takes a bit of struggling with that flap.
Without a case, the phone is actually a bit too narrow for this armband. With a case the phone is the right width, but the height is a bit short. The screen is controllable through the clear cover in either case.

I don't think this is what you are looking for but shopandroid.com has a waterproof case that "mounts" on your arm. It claims to be for the EVO LTE but looks kinda generic to me.

thats the one you are talking about?
I wouldnt mind using that even tho i wont be able to change songs or see the screen, but i use pandora and just let the songs play so i dont mind.
thanks for posting that site its really good! very cheap items! they have my TPU case on there for 10 bucks when i bought it for 18! =p
I ended up getting the iArmbands case for HTC phones in Otterbox cases. If you go to their site they have the model number there. It fits great with my Otterbox Commuter. It even fit my nephew's Droid Razr Maxx in an Otterbox Defender.
The only thing I don't like is that the armband itself isn't elastic and is very short. I contacted iArmbands about this and they recommended an extender from one of their competitors. I will check the name and add a follow up post.

Ah TuneBelt was what they recommended. They are only a $1.75 on Amazon. Had I known I would have bought one with the case.
One other note, I had to cut the case for the headphone cable as the holes do not align.
TuneBelt has a case that is made for large phones like the Evo 4G LTE in Otterbox and Seido cases. I am tempted to buy that with the extender just to see how well it works. It wouldn't hurt to have a spare in the car in case I forget to throw it in my gym bag.

Thanks, yeah, it took lots of digging for me to finally decide which one to get. I was a little hesitant b/c of the model number difference as well.
According to the descriptions on Amazon:
AB85 - Maximum size: Length: 5.5 inches; Circumference (2X width plus 2X depth) up to 7.75 inches.
AB86 - Maximum length: 5.4" - Maximum circumference (2X width plus 2X depth): 6.5". Design not intended for smartphones with protective cases. See models AB84 or AB85 for those needs.
I emailed them as well, and although they were prompt with responses, they weren't all that helpful so I just went by what was on the description.
I just ran a race recently and saw a runner with an actual belt-type case for her iPhone. I'd really like something like that, it's almost like a tiny fanny pack with the phone sitting lengthwise at the small of the back. I have an old Tune Belt for a CD player that's this style, I was hoping they made one for phones.

Joems,
Do you have any case on your phone? I am wondering if the phone will fit in that armband with a diztronic TPU case. Thanks.

I also have that case. It does fit. It is bit harder to get it out of the arm band.
I usually just pop off diztronic when I use the arm band.
This is a place to show off your after-market watch straps (eat it, Gear Live ).
Whilst I haven't got my hands on the G Watch yet, or a 3rd party strap for that matter, I can at least see what straps you've all ordered. Right?
I'll be slapping this strap on my G Watch once the watch & strap arrive. I might also swap between the strap on my Pebble, that's a cuff-style strap.
Until people get their hands on devices, this thread will most likely be people just sharing links for straps. Once I'm able to, I'll be uploading pictures of my G Watch in various straps- And so should you!

TL;DR, What strap(s) have you ordered for your G Watch?
I opted for the White Gold version, I haven't been able to decide what color bands would look good on the watch.
So where did you find that strap? It looks great.

the only issue you may have with the black metal ones is that they tend to scratch easily on desks and things, showing the silver though from underneath, a lot of Pebble owners are having this issue. Its the only reason I have gone for a leather strap. It looks like a nice one though.

Question for you, and anyone else opting for a metal band: Does anyone know or can anyone speculate how these bands will work with the charging cradle? From the pictures and preview videos I've seen, it looks like you have to lay the watch down on the cradle flat, so it seems like the closed metal band would interfere. Maybe you'd have you put the cradle on its side somehow, or put the cradle on the inside of the band? I really prefer a metal band, but I'm not sure how that would work.

I have that exact band on my own Pebble, and haven't had much of an issue with scratches. I'm pretty tough on watches (apparently I'm rather clumsy), and my band still looks like it did fresh out of the package. Maybe I got lucky with a really good band, even though it was a pretty cheap one from Amazon.
Can anyone compare or measure the size of the actual band? I have large wrists but had no issue with the Gear or Gear Fit sizes. I'm just hoping this one will fit as well
I have the original galaxy gear and gear s i would say the gear s supports a bigger hand

I finally got a chance to try the Gear S on my wrist today and like you, I am on the last hole and it is too tight to even close. I too have a large wrist and would want to get my hands on a larger band, with at least 2 more holes. My wrist has a circumference of 9 1/2".
Did you by change resolve your issue and find a larger band?
Once I solve the band size problem, the Gear S is purchased and on my wrist.

I think this is the same seller that I bought my leather strap from. It looks like the same basic design. There is a metal ring (not ring, it's the shape of the outline of the watch that fits in the groove around the watch). It's hinged under one strap, and screws together under the other. Just unscrew, open, close it around the watch and refasten the screw.
If you're concerned about it falling out, there is no chance.

Interesting so in theory I could make my own straps using the mechanism? That's worth it to me
I understand why the strap costs as much as it does, I just with it didnt lol. $45 is a bit steep for me. I think Samsung really dropped the ball on this one. They really should either make other straps, or make an adapter, or work with vendors to make adapters. I guess the Gear line of watches arent popular enough for that though. Does anyone know if the S2 will have the same issue with straps? I haven't seen any being made for it yet, but it is still quite new

Hello Guys, I've silver Moto 360v2 46mm with Cognac Leather. I'm using it very carefully but band is starting to wear out. I'm thinking to buy Silver Metal Band which is come with Moto 360 v2 from Motorola.
I'm sure some of you already have that. How is the band? Is it worth $89.99? Please share your opinion. Thanks.
Here is the link to purchase the band separately: Motorola
I have full black model, metal band. I like how it looks and feels pretty comfortable. But as it's made of small pieces you can add or remove, without any other way to adjust size, I can't have it the perfect fit. Other bad point to me, the clip looks pretty cheap, with plastic in it. Not sure how long this will length.
For this price range, I'm sure you can find a better choice.
I'll probably go with a strapcode.com band in near future.
Thanks gamin92 for your reply. I think, I should go for another one.

IDK if works, but is very comfortable. I have the silver metal band, silver clock and works fine. I sent the watch to a store to make the wristband fit in my hand. Is very good now.
The main problem of metal bands on watches are the dependency of tools to resize the wrist... or a watch store to make it fit.
