    The Best Buy Essential Apple Watch Band three-pack is comprised of a trio of individual silicone bands. This particular package fits Apple models that are 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, and also the SE and the Ultra 49mm. I chose the starlight, blue/gray, and gray colors so I could create a fun contrast with my red Apple watch. Best Buy also offers several other colors - in single bands, or in three-packs. They are simple to install and it's easy to swap from one to another. They are a perfect fit regardless of your wrist size - small, medium, or large! The holes seem to be a little closer together than on the original Apple products, making it easier to find "just the right spot" for your size wrist. The silicone is ultra-comfortable, flexible, and fits like the original equipment bands - at a much more affordable price. One could easily spend this much for a single band from Apple. One of the other advantages to silicone is how easy it is to keep them clean. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and it looks like new. The clasp feels secure and the bands seem to be made very well. I'll definitely consider another package and try out additional colors.

    Best Buy essentials™ - Silicone Bands for Apple watch (49mm) is a perfect replacement for anyone wishing to replace a damaged or discolored Apple band without breaking the bank for the little logo! Best Buy has done a great job providing a cost effective replacement that fits perfectly for the Ultra and other larger Apple Watches, while ensuring the same quality and feel you would expect from the OEM. This product offering provides 3 separate bands giving you color choices whenever the mood hits you or to complement your attire. I found these to be very comfortable, non-irritating on my skin after a long day of work, and a perfect fit for my Apple Watch Ultra. I like the ability to change colors as needed rather than be stuck with one option due to the price of the OEMs. They hold securely and feel good all day. PROS - Design and quality are on par with the OEM - Comfortable for all-day wear - 3 color options - Fits various wrist sizes without needing to swap out for different bands for sizing - Cost-effective and perfect for options on a budget CONS - None at this time

    The Best Buy Essentials watch bands are a great affordable option and the three pack allows for flexibility in your color coordinating needs. I used these bands for the Apple Watch Ultra and fit as good as the OEM bands. Since I upgrade, I forgot how comfortable the silicone sports bands are and these Best Buy branded bands are no different. Lots of flexibility in sizing to fit your liking. Even though I have the Ultra I almost forget it is in with these bands. I would even dare say that they are better than the original sports bands as there are two loops versus one and the notch is a little more oval shaped which makes it feel more secure. The Ultra is a great watch but I with newer band options, but coming back to use the original type silicone band feels great. This is a great band and highly recommend, especially the price point. The only down side I see is the bundling of a three pack color schemes many not be to everyone’s liking, so you may be forced to a color that will stay drawer. I would much rather see these sold individually at a reasonable price so I can have more flexibility with colors f my choosing. Other than that, great product from Brst Buy.

    These Best Buy Essentials Silicone Bands for Apple Watch make a fantastic addition any apple watch in order to increase its style and “wearability”. Value, comfort, and durability are unparallelled. This pack drastically broadens my ability to wear my apple watch with a greater variety of outfits and still color code or at least look like I tried to. These bands come in packs of three in a variety of colors and sizes, accommodating wrists from 5.9 to 8.8 inches depending on your selection. The lightweight yet heavy-duty silicone material is noted for being both soft and flexible. I appreciate the sport pin design to ensure my watch band stays securely in place during various activities. Great for daily use but I also don’t have to worry about them when I go to exercise. Installation is an easy and always a confident and secure fit on my Apple Watch, making these a practical choice even if I choose to switch up watch band every day. I can do that without the hassle of specialized tools or time consuming processes. The bands are compatible with a wide range of Apple Watch models, including the 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, SE, and Ultra sizes. I love this low-price option when compared to many other options on the market. Overall, these silicone bands are awesome for their quality and price, making them my top choice for customizing my Apple Watch.

    I've had an Apple Watch since the first one came out and one of the things I really like is the ability to customize them with different watch bands. I typically go silicone or leather for daily wear and for more dress up occasions, I go with stainless steel. I typically wear mine all day long with the exception of when I'm charging them. Currently I have two Apple Watch Ultra's and a Series 9. One of the Ultra's I have the black silicone band on it and it is what I wear when i'm working out, doing yard work or anything that can cause the watch to get dirty or damaged. The other Ultra is setup with a metal band and used mostly when I go to work or dress up. The Series 9 is my back up if i forgot to charge my Ultra's. The nice thing about these bands is that they work with both models. They are very comfortable and easy to install and remove. The three pack that I have allows me to customize my watches with what I’m wearing that day. The black one is my favorite, but as with anything silicon, it will attract lint. These seem to very durable and should last as long as the OEM which makes them more economical. I'm very pleased with these and would definitely recommend them.

    Perfect for M/L Apple Band Wearers

    When it comes to simple silicone bands for your Apple Watch, the Best Buy Essentials bands are a great option for those seeking quality and value. I've been using an Apple Watch for about eight years now and I have purchased many bands online. Whether it be from Apple or various third-party brands, I've been pleased and disappointed by my purchases. When it comes to the Best Buy Essentials brand, I would genuinely say these bands truly offer something unique. -- Material -- Unlike many budget silicone bands online, the Best Buy Essentials Silicone Bands actually feel like the Apple brand bands. In terms of the smooth texture and thickness of the bands, I think these are top-notch. Many of the cheap bands you find on Amazon feel cheap, but these bands are quality material. -- Appearance -- I really love the colors (navy, olive, and black) of this band set and the simple, yet modern oval buckle. It provides a nice differentiation compared to the old Apple bands that have boring circle buckles. -- Fit -- This is where my only complaint comes in to the picture. These bands fit more like the M/L bands on the Apple bands. If you are familiar with those sizes from Apple, you will love these bands. If you are more of the S/M crowd, these will still fit, but not as snug. Not the brand's fault, but again, just an FYI. Overall, I think this is a great product in terms of quality and value if and only if you are someone who generally buys the M/L silicone Apple Bands.

    I am impressed with these bands for my Apple Watch Ultra. All 3 colors hit the mark. Packaging was pretty simple, no frills. The 3 bands are displayed thru the box. There are no extra pieces to the straps. Each band is just 2 pieces. Colors are nice. I have black, navy and olive. All three colors are a rich dark color. They all look great with the watch. Attaching to the watch was super easy. All three bands fit great. The fit is secure. It’s a perfect fit. The texture of the watch is a smooth silky feel. I was impressed the it doesn’t feel rubbery and has a look of a smooth leather band at a glance. The little silver closure tab is a nice touch. The bands are very flexible. Because I have a very small wrist, the smallest size is a little loose on me. It is not a deal breaker, but it would have been great to have a smaller band piece, as some of my other bands. After wearing for a few days I did notice there is some wear on the edges. The edges start to shine a little. More than the rest of the band. I’m hoping it does not get worse over time. Overall this is a nice set of watch bands. A great alternative to the original one that came with my watch. I plan to order additional colors, if these hold up pretty well. No real issues.

    Great Value Bands

    ***Packaging/Setup*** The watch bands were well displayed and packaged. Assuming you have taken off any previous watch band and this was easy. ***Use*** The band was comfortable and very soft. Also feels just as light on my wrist as the sport loop I had. I did find the 2 loops and locking pin are hard to get the watch on with one hand. I have to hold my wrist against my chest to get the watch on. The colors are nice for the price. I actually found the mix match of colors pretty useful for a unique look to the watch. I have had no issues with it coming undone or feeling like my watch will fall off my wrist. ***Cons*** I wish there were more color options. Also, I do not like the dual loops to put the watch on. It just takes longer to put the watch on in the morning. The length of the watch band seems a little longer than the OEM band, so it is just more tucked against my wrist. Final Thoughts: I feel like this is a good value if you want additional bands for an affordable price point or just more variety. If you take your watch off frequently through the day, then these bands are not for you.
