Apparently there are some leatherette replacement bands for the Gear in addition to the original 5-6 colors. My friend says a local ATT store has them on display and they go for between $30-$50 dollars. Apparently you take off the 2 screws on each side and replace the band. Did a google/YouTube/Samsung search but could not find anything. He will get pixs and I will post on Sat when I see him.
Just wondering but still looking for yellow or orange Gear to exchange my mocha one for.

How does that work with the camera being in the band?

The strap in an integral part of the watch and not consumer replaceable. This is due to the camera also the speaker both being housed on the strap. The cost would be prohibitive taking into account labour cost, new strap and transport fees IF, and it is a massive if, the consumer could do that it would, without fail, void the warranty.
The guy forgot to take the pics so I will go sometime this week and look at them.

I have confirmed the band's are not interchangable as a certified technician it would be a task. The screws remove the face and a gasket seals the frame and has a thin cable into the body of the watch. I stopped about halfway for risk of damaging the watch. So I call BS here.

So so gutted! Only had the htc one for a week and it feel out of my pocket onto my solid slate kitchen floor and well lets just say it couldnt have been a better face plant! Didnt even touch the sides...just face down slap bang on the floor!
Am I the first?
To top it off no insurance.......and no repair shops that either stock the parts as is so new out and if the tear down tests are anything to go by its a pig to even replace a screen! Just my luck.....only one thing I could do which is to get it repaired by htc.
Being shipped off tomorrow and im dredding the email that is going to rob me me of my hard earned ££££.
Anybody had experiance with htc repairs?

Do this at your own risk, remember that you have 1 year warranty, you should first try getting samsung or AT&T to replace.
Would be great if a replacement back was available. I contacted Samsung and they said one is not available and do not have an ETA when it will be.

Only one way to find out
If you can get a replacement housing and a s4 camera sensor and then mod them together... I would use some type of sealant and put it around the edge of the sensor and take a drop of water and see if it gets past the housing. Of course do this before putting your system board in the housing... Just as a test. Not sure if it is worth it to you but if we could successfully mod the S4 camera on the active and keep water proof I think most active users will do it. It appears that samsung thought about using the 13 mp sensor but changed their minds because of supply demands.
If I had some extra money I would give it a shot. But my wife would get mad for me tossing out around 30-50 bucks for just a chance of a working mod. any unmarried people out there willing to try?
