Do not know who they are kidding with such a small watch band would like to buy a larger watch band. (Adult size)
I am on the last two holes of the kids size (small wrist size) band.
Anybody know where I can order large watch band? (Canada)
Yeah the band is ridiculously small. As long as it fits though, I'm fine.
Me I can not decide if it fits,
Wear it slightly above the wrist, even on the last two holes I see a imprint where the watch was attached when I take it off.
Should be slightly snug (for the heart rate), it is.
I will keep my eye open, eBay should start selling larger straps soon.

You must have massive wrists. I'm 6'2" and weigh 205 and I'm not having an issue with the band size.

I concur. I have two additional notches left and I am a big boy.
Have you tried the other wrist? Perhaps your non-dominant one.
I am a big guy myself, got one hole left and I changed my mind.
Just needed to get used to it, I hardly know I am wearing it now.
If I get a new watch strap it maybe just for a different colour.
Inspired from the commercial showing the fit, I think it'd be possible to get a leather cuff/bracelet and cut out a hole the size of the Fit face and wear it that way. I'll look around for just such a thing
I think you first have to be fit before you can wear the gear fit
But true, it's a really kids size wrist band. Would love to see a all leather variant with decent size. Even a metal band would be great! Are you reading with us Samsung?

You can buy standard an XL size.
Okay but here in Holland there was a great offer where you got the gear fit for free with your galaxy s5 you didn't had the choice in size...

You can buy new strap in every official Samsung Store in country. In my small country (Slovakia) we have 3 official stores and also in other shops you can buy it. I have one standard size in black color and one XL size in orange color. But XL is too big for me.

Maybe they like Europe?
Canada has 3 stores, all out west and I am not driving 4000 or 5000km to see if they have wrist straps, me I bought one from eBay orange, standard size. Like I said the strap was not to small just had to get used to it.
Too small?!?! I'm dying for a smaller one! Yes I am a woman a not so small woman but these really aren't designed for us no smart watch right now is. I got the fit because it was the smallest of them all and mine is all the way in with the loop almost doubled!
The goof!
I wouldn't mind if the band were two notches larger.
I found the band too much hassle to fit quickly so got hold of a folding buckle, trimmed the band lengths, made holes for the spring pins and now the gear fits like a watch, just the right side of snug. Simple DIY job as I couldn't find anything in stores.
KMD19, That is a nice solution. I think I've seen those metal bands that have a pin for the watch band holes to still make it adjustable.
dwwright. Yes they are easily obtainable from the Amaz - Bay. I plan on making some more using the standard straps in various colours. It's the raised bumps on the underside of the standard strap that provides the space/thickness for the holes required. I used a cork board pin from both sides to make mine, after I'd cut off the excess strap, that was the only tricky bit.
In the UK I waited a but as the Samsung site was only shipping large bands, called said wait for small no stock, then emailed and got told for Europe only the Large band would be sold ???
It's way too damning big

Many people commented me on the Gear Fit, but I do not see many around.
Do you think they sold well?
Are people just holding off for Android Wear?
or
Maybe many people stopped wearing watches?
First batch of Gear Fit was only 250 000 pieces.
The Gear Fit was very hard to find. I got the last one at a Best Buy Mobile kiosk in the mall 3 days after release.
I read Samsung under estimated demand with the Gear Fit, sold out within days.
Can anyone compare or measure the size of the actual band? I have large wrists but had no issue with the Gear or Gear Fit sizes. I'm just hoping this one will fit as well
I have the original galaxy gear and gear s i would say the gear s supports a bigger hand

I finally got a chance to try the Gear S on my wrist today and like you, I am on the last hole and it is too tight to even close. I too have a large wrist and would want to get my hands on a larger band, with at least 2 more holes. My wrist has a circumference of 9 1/2".
Did you by change resolve your issue and find a larger band?
Once I solve the band size problem, the Gear S is purchased and on my wrist.
So call me crazy but I've had some serious apple watch envy the past year, and its purely based on the fact that the size is just right. I like the square design, but EVERY square smartwatch design just SWAMPS your wrists. SO imagine my excitement upon hearing asus was making a smaller 1.45 in version, then imagine my dissapointment when me (a very hetero male) sees that the 1.45 in comes with a "Diamond" studded watch face (yes just software i know) and a thin white leather band, so blatantly meant for the more feminine among us.
WELLL... i put my "Y" chromosomes in a metaphorical desk drawer for a time and bought the watch and a blue and white nylon nato band from amazon. When it arrived i stupidly slapped it on in its original girly state, we're all tech nerds and we know the elatement we feel at a new piece, and it immediately tarnished my view on the watch.
I can however now affirm that once i changed the watch face and replaced the band that it does indeed look most excellent on a male wrist. In fact it has a passing resemblance to the apple watch (which hate it or love it its a darn fine piece of design).
My opinions on the female to male conversion, mr/mrs jennings eat your heart out I suppose, were confirmed by the face that none of my friends or wife have said "he cool you're wearing female jewerly". Its extremely comfortable, works excellent at the gym with my vimovit app, as well as at the office. And ya know what for less than half the price of most other watches (many of which i've tried, 360 gen 1, 360 gen 2, and Sony SW3) it does everything they do with the same internals. (so long as you can face the face that all hear rate monitors as they exist in smartwatches currently are rubbish and only serve to further shorten your battery life).
Nice write up..

How is the battery life of the smaller Zenwatch 2? I'm also starting to believe that the smaller version isn't necessarily only designed for women.
With ambient black and white screen mode thingy on, it doesn't even last a day. Turn that off and I have 50% at then end of the day left after heavy use
Well, after reading tons of reviews, apparently the batter life shall improve after a few charges. Since I'm new to smartwatches, how useful are they in daily life? I do plan to use the swim.com app to count swimming laps, maybe some of you can test how accurate it is? Unfortunately, the ZW2 is still not available in my country.
Even through Amazon? (it just went up this week). I use it for fitness tracking and it works great. Aside from that I'm in a profession where I attend a lot of meetings where pulling my phone out wouldn't really be appropriate as well as I'm on the move a lot. The notification on your wrist are way more convenient that I thought they would be. Also it's a lot safer in the car that looking at a phone acreen
Yea here in the land of Asus the watch is still unavailable. That's really sad.
Today I found the first review of the smaller model. They report a very good battery life:

Asus websites says the smaller Zenwatch 2 is 45.2mm in length, may I ask does it include the lug or just the main shell of the watch?
Thanks!
Andrew
I think it's including the lug.
I'm a dude wearing a zenwatch 45mm also lol I actually bought a 20mm silicone band that I was able to trim just a little to fit between the lugs and it looks great

Add me to the list...
I am another guy who chose the 1.45 model. I am really happy with it, I used the watch band from the watch it was replacing and no one (even in my family) has noticed a new watch. Obviously it is bigger, but isn't so much different that it stands out. I was concerned about battery life but it makes it through the day even with more use than will probably be normal. Attached is a comparison that I created when determining which to buy.
I was almost sold on the smaller watch but they were sold out at Best Buy when I went so I got the only one they had (gun metal gray). Coming from LG G Watch (a true square) I am still very happy with the purchase. Although it is technically the same size, the curved screen feels great on my palm and the more rounded corners make it look smaller.
I actually didn't think I would like the button, but after a few days of "figuring it out", I now love it.
Just FYI,
1 Tap (toggle screen)
1 Hold (App Drawer)
2 Taps (Turns the screen completely off, requires tap to turn on) [differs from software theater mode from requiring a triple tap of the screen, same effect though]
1 Long Press (Power off)
As far as battery, I use the hell out of my phone and get constant notifications from work. I use Screen Brightness of 3. WiFi off. Ambient Mode. Styler has cool options like transparent notifications, full ambient mode, screen off timeout (5 seconds for me), Google Now popup location, etc. The biggest one is I set my screen time out for 5seconds.
By the end of the day (8am-6pm) I have about 70% battery left. Right in line with my LG G Watch.
My CoWorker, who gets the same work emails, has a Motorola 360 (first gen) watch and it is dead by 2pm. As big as it is I would think it had a huge battery. I am not sure what watch face he uses but I think he tried to turn off WiFi and lower his brightness.
OK, I wanna share my story with the 1.45 inch Zenwatch 2: ordered one, after comparing it's size with the apple watch, it looks nice and compact on photos. So after I received it, I removed the beige leather strap for women and tried to buy a black rubber sports band. The only one that fitted was a Casio watch band. But it was too narrow, still looked like a girls watch. After complaints of my wife that the watch itself looks too feminine and looks kind of weird on my wrist, I returned it and ordered the larger model. Message to future male buyers of the smaller Zenwatch: it's harder than I thought to find a suitable 18mm watch strap. The more rounded corners of the 1.45 inch Zenwatch does give it a feminine look. Also most probably only the larger model has a built in speaker.

I really like the look of the 1.45 version, i feel like the other would be a bit too big and awkward on my wrists. But i haven't really tried them on personally. Might sharing any pics
You can buy a 22mm band with a 18mm connector. They arent as easy to find but amazon had some metal ones for about 40.
I had no problem finding an 18mm black leather band at Target.
Too right
I innitially bought the 49mm watch and from the moment I first strapped it on I thought "This is just a little too big.
I traded it in for a 45mm model. After slapping a stainless band on it I'm very happy with it.
I think ASUS really missed the boat marketing this as a "Ladies" watch. I sure don't see anything "Feminine" about the watch now.
To the OP: IMO that strap is not only hideous, but makes your watch look like a cheap toy.
I got my wife the 45mm for Xmas. It was the $149 one with the gray strap. We both felt the strap made the watch look cheap, much like yours. So, I bought her the generic version of the 18mm chrome steel strap that ASUS sells with the watch for $199, but on Amazon for $10! Now she gets compliments all the time on the watch. Even her co-workers have asked if that is the same watch because it looks so much better.
My advice to you; get any steel 18mm strap on Amazon for $10-$15 and let the compliments come rolling in. You won't regret it because your watch will look so much better and expensive.
On another note, I recently got the 49mm gunmetal gray ZW2 with the brown leather strap. I love it. It felt big at first, but I feel like that is because the leather strap needed to break in because it was stiff and did not allow the face to sit on the wrist properly. After breaking it in, it feels much better and because it is more comfortable now seems less intrusive on the wrist. I will be taking my own advice and will order a gunmetal gray steel strap from Amazon. However, the brown leather strap does not look cheap, but classy in the first place.
Good day! I got a problem with my Gear Fit as it won't charge. When I checked the back of Gear Fit I noticed those 5 tiny metallic thing and one of it had scratched off, maybe this is the reason why it won't charge. Anyone knows a workaround for this?
