When I purchased this item I overlooked that it was not from Apple and that was my first mistake, this band came off my wrist twice since I purchased it Not good at all if you like your watch, it has two not one two clips to hold the band on your wrist and they both failed, I was just sitting down when this happen! The first time I was walking and saw it unsnap and I grabbed it before it hit the ground. Only purchased because I thought it was an Apple product but it says on the box sport band for APPLE WATCH which kind of plays mind tricks on you, I went back to the original band made by Apple as I do like my watch.... buyer beware.
P.S. the box reads sports band and I was sitting down commuting and it fell off imagine you using this for sports! It would be a lost...

I bought this strap so when I worked out I would not get my stainless steel strap damaged. Wow did I make a mistake. During exercises this strap would easily come undone and I would have to re-latch it. Well just last night the watch once again comes undone fully and falls face first on the tile and damages the screen. So stay away from this crap of a strap. Attaches perfectly to the watch itself but the latching system is terrible. Pay the extra money and buy whatever apple has and not some aftermarket junk like this.

It looks great and holds well. Would be better if the clips were more secure but for the price it’s worth it.

This Apple watch band is great but not. It is really comfortable but it is really easy to take off. If you don't get what I'm trying to say, the main point is your watch can fall off without you knowing.

Used for swimming

After buying my Apple 3 watch I was told that the band that came with it was not good for swimming so I picked this band up. It looks good and was easy to attach to watch. I give it 4 stars because while I wore it all the time, once or twice the plugs disconnected from their slots and the watch fell off.. I don't know if I didn't snap them in properly or what, but it did happen a couple of times. Other than that, no problems with the band.

The band comes off every easily if you are very active or moving around a lot at work. It unclips a lot and tends to fall off a lot. If you need it just for casual wear not really lifting or moving things then this is good for you.

I purchased this band as an alternative to the Apple Sport band ... it’s getting the job done. Definitely would purchase other colors.

You get what you pay for with these bands. It fell off of my wrist quite frequently at work. As a nurse it’s really frustrating to have it fall while taking vitals or performing a procedure.

Good strap, it adapts well to the wrist and gives good appearance, however after a few weeks of use it becomes a bit opaque.

The watch band is generally fine, but it does have its downside. First, it does take some getting used to for how the two metal "snaps" on one band have to connect through the openings of the overlapping band. And they will release and let the watch fall if the band snags and gets pulled. I do think it looks good - I like the black color, but just wish it was a but stronger so it couldn't be easily pulled off.

The snapping part is too easy to pop off even with 2 connections. Lost my watch for a little bit. Thank goodness I was able to find my watch again.

Bought this for my wife. She really liked the color and it installed easily onto the watch. Most of the time she loved wearing it. However, ocassionally the little metal clasp would catch on something (sleeve, pants, etc) causing the band to come undone. She's decided to since switch back to her original band for fear that she'll wind up breaking her watch.

The band is a nice color. It’s made well and seems of good quality. I just wasn’t a fan of the clasp style and returned it.

It's everything a watchband should be, except the tail of the band sticks out and it gets caught all the time on things, sometimes my watch flies off! I caught it on my backpack in an Uber and thought my watch was gone forever. Fortunately, there are still some kind, honest people in the world and the driver brought it back! I have switched to a style that tucks under.
