  Great Apple Watch Band With Non-Apple Color Option

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  I originally got an Apple Watch for health reasons. I was not a fan of the size of the watch but got used to it even with its size, but did not want any watch band that would make it feel any bulkier. The basic sport band that Apple provides is fine, but after a while you will likely need to replace it, and you may also want to as a fashion choice as well. I have bought several bands over the years of different materials, but I tend to prefer the 2-piece silicone (rubber-like material) band because it's easy to get on and off and is less irritating to sensitive skin. When I first attached this Insignia Silicone Band on my watch, my first observation was that it felt slightly thinner than other similar bands I have used. While this sounds negative, it's actually the opposite. The thinner material means that it's less rigid, and over the course of the day, I found this to be more comfortable. I actually don't feel the watch band the way I have with others, including Apple's. The possible millimeter worth of difference in the total circumference around my wrist seemed to give me a better fit as well. Like other non-Apple branded watch bands, this one is secured to your wrist exactly the same way, but the holes and the button are a round-rectangular shape rather than round. That, and possibly the color depending on your choice, is the only noticeable difference that this is not an Apple-branded Watch band. Overall, the quality feels just as good as Apple's, and neither the silicone material or the metal used in the button caused any skin irritation, which I have had with some off-brand bands. The band attaches to the watch securely and once the magnetic contact is made, I was unable to get the band to move without pushing the release button on the watch. I have used bands in the past where this was not the case and the band could detach if the watch got caught on something, so this is good mark of quality. As for the color, it does appear slightly different than what I could see on my computer monitor.. Color is slightly subjective due to variances in monitors and other media displays, but this band was slightly more red than the picture. The best way I can describe it is the picture online looks "mulberry" and the actual watch band is more "cranberry". I have a Starlight Apple Watch 8 and the band color compliments the watch nicely, regardless of the slight variation. It's nice to have some options outside of Apple's selection and for considerably less cost. Insignia-branded products are typically of very good value for the money, and this watch band doesn't disappoint. Definitely a recommended product!

  Comparable to an Apple band. Only difference is the closure. It has a weird double loop. I skipped the first loop and it looks mostly okay.
