Apple Watch after 3 Weeks on my Wrist

My Apple Watch Sport arrived a few weeks ago and so far I really like. I started to love when I received my first text message and didn't have to fish for my iPhone. Then came a call while I was in my car - and Yes, I held my wrist up near my mouth like Agent 86 on Get Smart. It was cool and other driver's noticed. ( Note:my eyes never left the road - we were at a red light).

My Apple Watch had a white band and as I mentioned in my earlier post I had ordered an alternative band. The original bands were going to take a month to arrival and I didn't what to wait. After a little homework I decide to take the do-it-yourself route.


Here is what I did:

I purchased the TKJETech® 42mm Genuine Leather Strap Wrist Band Replacement w/ Metal Clasp for Apple Watch All Models 42mm (Leather - Black) band for $26. This is a great band to get, because it it includes a set of Apple Watch band adapters. Once installed ( you'll need a precision screw driver set) you will have the ability to switch you watch band with just about any watch wrist band available. Make sure that you get a band between 18-22mm. Bigger bands are better.

The installation:

1)  Disassembled the TKJETech® 42mm Genuine Leather Strap Wrist Band to get the wrist band adapter off. 

All of my bands

Apple vs. Replacement

Disassemble

Modify the new band

Done!

2)  The hardest part was selecting a band - now that you have choices. Take a look at some replacement bands.

So, for under $40 I gave my Apple Watch a makeover. I haven't ruled out purchasing a nicer premium watch band. But if you want a less expensive way of updating your watch here you go.
