Best replacement bands for Samsung Gear S2
So much love to the gear s2.....so little to the gear s2 CLASSIC!!

The classic is definitely the best out of the two. But at least they showed a picture of the S2 classic in this article.
S7 edge/S2 Classic 4g/One +3
Except that some of these bands are for the Classic and don't specify.
It should be specified, otherwise this just feels like spam. Article says "Best replacement bands for the Samsung Gear S2" and then lists some bands that don't work with it. Makes no sense.
DO NOT GET THE V-MORO BAND...THEY'RE HORRIBLE!! GOT ONE AND THE SLEEVE THAT CONNECTS TO THE WATCH WASN'T MACHINED CORRECTLY AND AS A RESULT IT CAME LOOSE WITH THE SLIGHTEST BRUSH. COMPANY IS ALL THE WAY IN CHINA SO I COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED WITH THE RETURN.
Ouch...
Thats one of my picks...

I had the same experience with my Vmoro band not staying put on the S2. I bought it from them through Amazon. Had no problem returning it and getting a refund. They were very responsive and started a dialog about how to fix the problem that I had.
Thanks. I just ordered the black henoda. I guess it's supposed to mock the iwatch band that I actually like a lot. It's about $16.

I also bought the Henoda. It wears very well,but literally had to destroy the ends in order to remove it from the watch. Seems like this is a common issue with this band.
I picked up some bands off ebay there actually knock offs but look just like my original Watch band. The classic is a standard 22 mm so it has a ton of bands to choose from

20mm for the classic.

I bought a magnetic loop band (a fake leather version of Apple's. The magnets interfere with the bezel, making it noon functional

Does anyone know about bands for the gear fit 2?
Google it. I'm not trying to sound whatever, but there's dozens of choices for bands with the Gear Fit 2
I replaced the stock silicone band with one from Amazon. Vilo Inc. stainless steel black. It includes a 22mm connector adapter that will accept most standard 22mm bands.
They offer several different styles and colors including leather options.
-Gear S2
I like the silicone MoKo bands with the button clasp (for lack of a better term) that tucks under itself so people with a small wrist like myself don't have the end sticking out. Extremely comfortable and easy to get on and off.
