Reddit reviews Pebble Steel Metal Watchband - Matte Black

Deleted my other post on this as I figured everyone would rather see the pics than a link to the band...

I originally assumed I'd do the stainless band since I have the stainless/silver 360 but have to say the grey leather strap really grew on me while I was trying to figure out what kind of metal bands were out there that'd work.

If it wasn't for the lack of a easier to remove clasp on the leather strap that came with the 360, I might have even kept it on there.

I found after a full day of wearing the leather band though that moisture was getting stuck under the watch due to sweat and hand washing.

Since the leather strap is to much of a pain to quickly remove every time I washed my hands, I'd just not bother.

With the metal band, the quick release clasp on the bottom makes it very quick to remove/loosen the watch to dry under there after each hand washing now.


Here's the matte black version

Here's the stainless steel verson

You'll need to either use the spring bars/pins that came with the watch or buy some like these.

Best Buy also sells the same Pebble Steel bands for the same price as Amazon which is where I got mine from.

Some tips with removal and install. The spring bar/pin holes in the Moto 360 are made from plastic. Be extra careful with removal and putting the new ones back in. If you misshapen or break those holes, you're screwed.

If you don't have a proper spring bar tool like this, you'll need a jewelers sized flathead screw driver.

Getting the existing bands out is the easy part, I found putting the new band back in with the spring bars that came with the leather strap to be a lot more tricky in the metal band. I found the best way was to try and compress the springs on both ends of the bar and go straight into the opening. If you try to put one side of the spring bar in first then compress the other side, it didn't want to fit.

I enlisted my wife with her tiny little hands to assist and it made things a lot easier :P

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

I purchased the band from Amazon.com a week ago for $27 all included, but now it's on sale on Amazon UK for £24.

Alternatively they sell these at Best Buy stores for the same price.

great watch if you want a really nice looking band for it get the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8C81BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, I got it for my moto 360 and it looks amazing.

You really need a notched band. The ones for Pebble steel apparently work quite well. I ordered one of these per another redditor's suggestion.

I think it's the Pebble Steel metal band, here's the Amazon link.

I placed an order through amazon for the Pebble branded metal band, but it does not appear to ship for 1-2 months. I would expect to see them in retail stores in about the same time.

yes, pebble steel band. $20 bucks on amazon.

You can try Amazon. I found a few nice ones on there that flow well with the black watch

If you're looking for metal, this is a really nice one
