Hey there, sorry to revive this thread two months later, but I really like this approach and am considering doing this myself. However, I'd like to use this opportunity to fix one of my major annoyances that I had when switching from my trusty old Pebble to the Bangle - the 20mm strap. So if I'm going to have new strap mounts anyway, why not make them 22mm ones like on my old Pebble?
Since I'm not an expert at 3D modeling and STL files are not ideal for being altered after the fact anyway, I'd like to ask you: Would it be easy for you to make a 22mm version of this as well? If that's too much to ask, could you maybe send me the original project file so I can try and figure out how to do it myself? That would be extremely appreciated!
Thank you for this amazing design!

@user159197 Here you go! I just had to make some parts of the model parameterizable and then it was easy to change the width of the wristband from 20mm to 22mm afterwards. This also includes the fix from my first try, with the slightly larger holes for the wristband mounting bar (using 1.25mm instead of 1mm holes), so I hope this works for you out of the box :)
@halemmerich, that looks really good! I'm starting to get pretty jealous of your 3 buttons and the usb-c port there. I hope airport security won't ask you to much about your watch next time you fly, though ;)

I finally got to sanding the bangle cover and also to make the adjustments to the STL.
This time I sanded the cover with the dremel instead of by hand and it's much shinier than the first one. Anyway I really like it and for now I haven't encountered any problems with this design.
@Poolitzer the STL attached to this post has a wristband-holder hole size of 1.25mm, instead of the 1mm I had ordered. You should be able to give that a try and if we're all lucky, it comes out perfect for you, no modifications needed. Tell me how it goes!
Oh and by the way, if anyone wants to have the first version, without the wristband holders, I now have a spare one that I would send out for free. Whoever wants it, just tell me where to send it to. It fits perfectly on the bangle without modifications, but I always put a drop of glue between the bangle and the cover so it wouldn't get loose over time.
