Exactly what I wanted to ask. It seems like the milanese fitbit charge 2 ones are alot cheaper on ebay and appears to be the same at a fraction of the price.
I’ve bought some Apple Watch leather straps and a Milanese loop strap for a family member, plus a 22mm nato strap for my Fossil and I was surprised at the quality. Plus if you fill out a review after, they’ll send you a 30% off voucher too. Shipping was quick too.
I swear I’m not related to them, just a good and local store.
Wait, do you mean you purchased from OP or ebay?
Sorry, from OzStraps, aka OP.
Their NATO straps are cheaper than most I’ve seen on eBay and I’ve been using two solidly for a while now. The other Apple compatible ones have also worn really well.
Hi cytotoxic,
There is actually a very large variance of the "same bands" on the marketplace - we've undergone a lot of testing with many manufacturers and have found quality related issues such as:
- Faulty adapters causing bands to snap off (we favour spring bar type adapters that have yet to fail and introduced additional QC tester to the team)
- Discolouring / Colour fade
- Lack of magnetic strength on specific bands
- Fitment issues etc.
There's quite a large list which is part of the reason it takes us a bit longer to launch a new product!
We are confident in our product and manufacturer as we work very closely with them (often face-to-face) to continuously improve our existing bands based on customer feedback and introduce new bands styles! This also allows our bands to be different and helps us stand out from all others in the mass market too :)
Lastly, if you do on the rare occasion experience any issues - please feel free to contact us and we will sort it out!
Regards,
OzStraps TeamI went through 2-3 different ones off eBay - from different sellers. All of them snapped off (the little corner bits that connect the strap to the watch) and then my Apple Watch literally fell off my wrists onto the floor.
These ones are noticably better quality. I wear them daily and interchange between three different straps.
I bought two straps off of them a few months back; I got the sport loop and a black milanese. The quality is quite good for both. The sport loop is light and I pretty much use it daily… only complaint is that the velcro is pulling small tufts off of where it attaches, but that's pretty much how velcro works. The milanese strap's magnet is pretty strong, and the quality of it is quite good as well.
I feel like their QC is actually pretty good, and I feel it's a lot more convenient than taking a gamble with some of the eBay garbage out there.
Are the Apple Watch bands any different to the ones on eBay in terms of quality? They appear to be very similar if not the same?
