Assuming there would be third party bands, what would you like to see and purchase? I also gathered a list for which brands design you will likely purchase.

Rolex
Omega
Bretling
IWC
Patek Phillips
Panerai
Audemars Piquet
TAG Heuer
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Cartier
Other

Probably the new monowear bands on Kickstarter for me.

Aftermarket 3rd party leather bands, like those made for panerai. Though suited to an apple watch and not the bigger panerai watches

Personally, I wouldn't even consider buying a luxury brand watch strap to put on my Apple Watch, even if I'd bought the SS version. For me, they're very different pieces, the Apple watch is still a gadget, my Raymond Weil watch is still jewelry and I'll be keeping the two styles separate.

Apple band pricing is in the jewellery range , it's cheaper to buy the luxury strap.

That's a fair point! But either way, the most I'll spend is like £30 on a third party (p)leather strap if/when they appear on eBay and Amazon, to make it look slightly more professional for work

I'd like to be able to use a strap from http://natostrapsco.com , but the strap would cover the sensors on the back of the watch.

Im getting this one from Kickstarter. Looks really cool and they just added a bunch of new bands!

Do you know where you could purchase Nixon bands? I'd love to pick up some of their leather bands.

I have used Omega bands. It's good though and serve well.

I'm backing that one as well. I like the idea of being able to use any band rather than ones made for the Apple Watch.

I have yet to see a third party offering that looked anything but cheap to me.

unfortunately I do not know where to buy just the bands. I have both of these watches and love them, but have no idea how I could even try to use the bands with a apple watch.
