Sony MN2 Bands

Wanted to start a thread about Sony SmartWatch Bands. I feel like there is little to no info on what bands other than stock. I like the MN2 but it feels to small on my wrist with the stock band, I know you can attach any 20mm band but i'm just looking to see what other people have done already. I'm looking to make the watch feel bigger than it actually is on my wrist. In the latest press release it stats Sony if working with 3rd party band makers and hopefully we see those products soon before it's to late and the market it flooded with smartwatchs.

I'm using a metal band from an old Casio watch. Doesn't look too bad.uploadfromtaptalk1364418765738.jpg

I'm using a 20mm NATO watch strap. I just put the strap right through the clip on the back of the watch without the metal band adapter or anything, and it works well. They're cheap and can be had in number of colors and patterns.
doesn't it slide around a bit using that? i looked at doing that but there's nothing to hold it in place. that being said, i bought it second hand and may be missing a piece(s)

I keep the watch clipped on the outer layer of the band as it forms a loop. Gripping only the one layer, it does slide around a little bit. It doesn't slide too far, as it can only move between the two metal rings as shown in the picture. Overall, I don't find that the movement bothers me much at all.

Im using my old Nixon "The Rocker" watch band. It fits great and looks amazing. I also had Ghost Armor put a carbon fiber skin on the sides
Does the skin cover the white areas of the underside of the watch? That's my one big aesthetic criticism. Sony gave the SmartWatch a nice looking black face and metallic bezel, but I'll never understand why they left the back that bright white color.

The smartwatch looks awesome with that band - my only questions for you are: Was it difficult to make the smartwatch fit to the band, did you have to make adjustments? How is the fit working now? I am interested in getting one and modifying it.
