Received the "PU Leather" one yesterday and it's not that bad actually, it looks (and smells) the part as it appears that the area in contact with the skin is in fact real leather (that's the concept of "PU Leather" apparently). The color changing is a bit weird I must say.
One thing I noticed while trying to make it more "supple" is that it comes off under some fairly light pressure, unlike the silicone bands, and that could be an issue (losing your watch!), even for casual wear. On the other hand you can remove if without having to use the buckle ;-) Maybe it's only mine ?
Received my metal quick fit band from eBay last week. The plastic pin removal tool it came with was pretty much garbage as the pin on the tool bent to the point of being unusable after removing just two pins. I picked up the one in the Amazon link below for $8, and it was totally worth it. It functioned much better than the plastic one, and I had the band shortening done in just a few minutes. So far, the metal band seems like it's sturdy and good quality. I don't think I'll have to worry about either the link pins or the quick connectors coming loose.
Building a collection. Black & metal came with the watch. Red & yellow were $7 while the Grey and Blue $4, all off eBay. They're similar quality to the genuine ones except for less resistance of the spring clip. Can't see this being an issue. Will report back. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1244491.jpg

I've just looked at your photo and I know which one is original, black one. Because of erased skin.
