Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

***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.
