Hey guys,
I bought a Moto 360 2nd Gen in the 42mm Black variant with a Horween leather band, It was the only option available at the time as i wanted it asap, And i'm actually satisfied with my purchase however i'm willing to purchase a Stainless Steel Black Band, However i can't find any that is compatible with the 42mm Variant as it takes a 20mm Band, I'm looking for a Black stainless steel one that consists of a butterfly clasp,
However i was wondering would any 20mm Band work with my moto360 even if it doesn't consist of the quick pin pull outs for the lugs?

Thanks for your response.
Ya, any 20mm band will work. This my favorite style of band, I got it from Amazon.

make sure to order some extra pins as well, since the ones that come with the watch are attached to the strap.
For my 42mm I had gone for a cheap silicone band with quick-release pins to hold me over till I could get a proper stainless one. I figure for 12 bucks on amazon it's worth the peace of mind to know I'm not ruining the leather doing dishes or at the gym.
Got the 46mm since then, half because it was available with stainless
Get a spring bar removal tool from Ebay also, it will make your life much easier changing bands. I just bought one, they are cheap.

Do you find that the huge clasp on the bottom prevents you from putting your hand on the table?

It's not a huge clasp, no bigger than any other watch. Plus it has the advantage of all the extra band wrapping around on the inside of the strap, instead of the outside.

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.

I can't link to it because of my lack of posts, so just add dots and remove spaces.
I think they ship worldwide too, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar strap on eBay US.
EBay [dot] Co [dot] UK / itm / 271286147084
I ordered the Black G Watch.
And got this band coming in for it.
Have similar band on my Pebble but its a one piece. Going two piece on the GW.
I can't find this anywhere, what kind of watch strap do I need. I don't want to accidental on purpose order the wrong size
Just saw a video. 22mm from a rep

Any Generic 22mm Watchband will fit it.
Its the same size as the pebble wristbands aswell.

I had the Red/Black one for my Pebble. After several months, it ripped off and I almost lost my Pebble.
I bought this one for mine http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301069851082?txnId=995392229020 got the black one but just noticed its not coming from uk like it states it was :/

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.
i was thinking about getting this one
but i dont know which is the right size to get...

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.
I've been working on a leather band adapter, will have them posted for sale in a couple of weeks. Have been wearing my prototype for a couple of weeks, plan to have them in either plastic or stainless steel. I have a couple of design changes I want to make, but it's been nice having a regular leather band again. The design still allows the charger to connect also.

The guy who was going to do this for the gear s seems to be MIA. If you pick up on that there's a TON of demand already.
I would be extremely interested in one of these myself.
Any progress on this? I'm actually in the market for a stretchy/elastic band, so it's always snug and I don't have to worry about latching it...
I went with 46mm with brown leather strap and silver casing and silver bezel! Keeping it classic!
Post yours!!
Looks nice, I'll probably go for that or a black strap.
I want to see someone order a black silver combo of some sort between the casing and the main body.

I ordered the same as you except for a black casing. I plan on replacing the leather band with my TYLT black band though. I am kind of active and the leather doesn't hold up very well.
None of them. I'm replacing my Moto 360 with a Hauwei Watch because of Motorola's abysmal new warranty policy of charging customers a fee for advanced swap-out of their watches (in addition to the industry-standard credit card hold), even when the problem is a known and publicly acknowledged design flaw of the watch itself.
I shouldn't have to wait ages without the product I paid for -- and with its warranty clock running down while its gone -- and I shouldn't have to pay for replacement either, when it's under warranty. Especially not for a design flaw. That policy lost me as a repeat customer for Motorola.

Picked up a black 42mm with black leather at best buy yesterday. Not sure they're even supposed to be selling them yet lol. They were tucked away in a cabinet, nothing on display. Loving it so far. Much dnapper than gen1. Battery life is great even with always-on. Heart rate monitor is MUCH better, and the readings it takes every 5 mins actually get reported to Google Fit if you connect Moto Body. Pedometer reports much closer to my FitBit too.
I ordered the women's rose gold from best buy and will be arriving in the afternoon.
42mm Men's Gold with Cognac Brown Leather band. Kinda classic looking.
I just picked up 2 42 inch black 360. One for me and my hubby. Replaced them from the crappy Samsung Gear S. I'm loving it so far. I felt naked without my smart watch for 2 months.

On it's way soon Silver - Black Micro Knurl - Black leather band
Will receive it next week .. 46mm Stainless Steel - Silver band.
So far I'm really pleased with this model. The always on mode is great.
Gold all the way!
I got the black leather band because I thought it would make it more versatile, but I'm going to buy the gold metal band as soon as it's available. My 360 should be here next Thursday. Can't. Friggin'. Wait.
I got the 46mm Black, Black Knurled and Black Metal, I actually think it came together quite well
46mm silver body with silver micro knurl bezel and silver metal band. Also got the tylt silicone band for the gym.
Here I am, happy new owner of a black 42 mm leather (only option for this size in Italy...)
46mm version (standard silver/cognac version)
Finally got my 46mm black knurl and super engineer band... Happy as can be with it.
super engineer band is a 3rd party band?
It works well with my first gen, would love to transfer it to the new one.
Why wouldn't it? I'm using the same band that I used on my 1sr gen. I no longer need the SteelConnect though.
Why wouldn't it? Well, I wasn't sure if it would fit. That's why I asked. So you're using the Pebble Steel metal band on the second gen 360?
It will fit but only on the 46mm version. Same 22mm band. The 42mm version has a 20 mm band
Thank you!

I just tried my Pebble Steel band on the new watch and I couldn't get the pin back enough to fit in the new watch? Did you use a special technique to do so?
as others have said it should work just fine on the 46mm model, but it wont look great since the pebble band doesn't really have a bar at the end to cover the springbar. it'll look a bit ghetto without the watch face to cover it up.
Like I said above, it didn't fit as the pins seem to be too long. Is it too early for third party bands to be available?
Here is one with good reviews that is supposed to fit it well:

In case you want to know, the pins of the pebble time steel leather band fits perfectly on the moto 360 2nd gen 46mm.
My Pebble Steel metal band from my original Moto 360 didn't work on my new Moto 360 since the pins were too short. I went to a jewelry store and they found longer pins to make it work, but the following day, a pin came out and my watch went crashing down on the ground. I think I'm going to wait until I can buy a metal band specifically made for the Moto 360 2015 is released.
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.
