Much too small for my wrist. While it fits a 41mm watch it is very narrow. Returning.

Ordered the 4th of June and still haven’t received it so can’t rate what I don’t jave

This band is not the best option. It comes apart easily unlike the original Apple sport loop

Sadly it broke within a month or two of purchase. It was not worn full time either, just as a backup band when needed.

The Insignia Active Nylon Band for the Apple Watch (I wear it on my Apple Watch 8) seems to be very durable, secure, and comfortable band for my watch! I have had a variety of types of watch bands over the years (I've had an Apple Watch for going on 5 years now), and this has got to be my favorite so far. Here's a breakdown of why: Pros: * very secure - I put it on in the morning, and have to make absolutely no adjustments throughout the day. This has been an issue with bands in the past, where over the course of the day it loosens up and spins around my wrist. This one does not! * comfortable - there seems to be an ever so slight stretch to the band, so it moves with you, but since the band is secured with velcro, it's not enough to make the band unusable * neutral color - the color of the band is like a mix of rose gold and tan/brown - it's very neutral in person, making it an excellent choice for most outfits * dries fast - I have a tendency to wear my Watch in the shower (especially after working out) so that it can be cleaned (and tbh, because sometimes I just take too long in the shower and having my Watch with me keeps me on track, but I digress...) and this band went from shower to completely dry in less time than it took me to get ready in the morning (like 15 minutes)! Cons: Honestly? I don't have any. The band does exactly what it is supposed to do, and what I look for in a watch band!

Watchband product was not accurately described by our sales person, so I have purchased an item which will not be very useful to me.

It got broken within few days. Not recommended to buy.

Only needing a basic watchband for my Apple watch I searched the web for something fairly cheap, I came across the Insignia Braided Nylon Watch Band. This is a cost-effective watch band from Best Buy’s Insignia brand. The watch band is made of braided nylon which is comfortable to wear and looks good with a woven pattern. The band attaches to a 38mm, 40mm or 41mm Apple watch. The material is lightweight, you barely notice you are wearing it. This nylon watch band is water resistant and is visually appealing. This band comes is a few colors and I have the “Mauve” color which has a neutral appearance. The band is comfortable to wear. >>>> Pros: >>> good value >>> relatively inexpensive >>> looks good. >>> comfortable to wear >>> waterproof, after all it is braided nylon material. <<<< Cons <<< although this is breathable material, my wrist did seem to have a reaction with some irritation, however it seems after the watch band got wet, it might have rinsed away whatever irritant was impacting my skin.

As far as watch bands for the Apple Watch go this is a fairly decent watch band. You can tell from the feel of the band that it has a superior quality for a nylon watch strap and the hoops holding the band to the connection hardware is of a decent quality. I'd have no issue at all trusting this watch band to keep my Apple Watch attached to me (unlike one of the first third party watch bands I purchased back in 2017). One thing that sets this on apart from other nylon bands I've used in the past is that there is no "stretching" I've seen in others from other manufacturers. To me that speaks of high quality and is reassuring to me. After all an Apple Watch is not some $20 drug store watch and you want your investment protected. Thank to Apple making the watch band connectors on Apple Watch being standard connecting the band to my Series 8 watch was no problem at all. No to the not so good stuff. The band could stand to be a bit larger for those of us with larger wrists. There are four small velcro strips for putting the band on your wrists and I fell that with only two able to connect on my larger wrists would be better. Maybe a few more strips? Now I usually prefer a leather strap as it just feels better to me. That being said this nylon one doesn't feel as "icky" as ones from other manufacturers. But this sort of thing is usally a matter of personal preference so your mileage may vary. Overall this is an excellent replacement watch band for your Apple Watch.

The nylon band from insignia is a perfect fit for my active lifestyle and it won’t break the bank. I normally wear a rubber strap but was curious about nylon watch bands since my arm hairs get pulled by rubber straps. I have found the insignia nylon watch band to fit perfectly and wear comfortably all day. The nylon strap is more adjustable than the rubber strap since the hook and loop mechanism utilized allows me to customize how tight or loose the strap is smaller increments than is possible with the rubber strap that came with my Apple Watch. One drawback to nylon watch straps in general is how much moisture is retained during sweaty workout sessions. For me specifically, a sweaty work out session means a 30 minute run. I found I need to rinse and the nylon watch band after a sweaty session or else it gets nasty fast, especially if I am wearing sunblock. I see the nylon strap as a comfortable every day watch band but I will definitely need to stick to a rubber strap for workouts since it is much easier to clean.

Everyone has their favorite style of watch band! My preference is one that doesn't accidently come off, and ideally is so comfortable I forget I'm wearing a watch. This style of band fulfills both of those of those expectations. Because it is so easy to change the band on an Apple watch, I ended up buying multiple of these in different colors. Since there are multiple reinforced velco attachment points, there should be no issue with this band fitting a range of small to large wrists. The texture is very soft and comfortable, and it really gets to the point where you don't notice that you're wearing a watch. The band is also very strong, and no matter what I may bump or brush my arm against the band has never come undone. So far I've worn the band in the sun, rain, swimming and in the shower and it still looks brand new and the material dries very quickly. There is a slight stretch to the material, so there are no issues wearing it tight to maintain an accurate heart rate reading while exercising and it is still comfortable.

I really like the color and style of the band. The band has a little bit of elasticity to the material as well so that it never really feels overly tight and is really comfortable. The mesh material is breathable and it doesn't get wet underneath from sweat like a lot of other rubber and leather bands that I have used. It fastens together with three embedded Velcro strips mounted on the inside of the band. I wonder how those strips will hold up long term but for now it securely holds the band closed and I've had zero issues with it. Make sure to follow the instructions printed on the back of the box when attaching to the watch via the slide in mount in order to get the band in the correct orientation. Other than that if you've ever changed the band on your watch it will be a snap. The one complaint that I would have is that in order to get the watch off I have to completely slide it out of the loop and undo it which is not a big deal until putting it back on. It's a little difficult to get the band back through the plastic loop one handed.

The band is a match for the sizes listed. My wife used these on her apple watch se 38mm. She's had the watch for 2-3 years now and has not been able to find a replacement band she likes. This is good if you like to change up once in a while. The pink fabric band is a snug fit and easy to change out if you like. These bands are easy to install out of the box. There are no parts or tools needed. You simply press the small release buttons on the back of the watch to slide the old band off, then you can slide the new band in. My wife likes the option for switching bands between working out and getting dirty allowing her time to wash and dry the band and still able to use the watch. The pink band is fabric but quick and easy to wash/dry. It is ready to replace within minutes. These bands do not have the regular snap style apple clasp. It is velcro. I am not sure if it was my watch or the band but the slide did not seem to lock it right away and kept sliding in/out of my watch. But they seem reversable so I flipped it over and slid it the other way and it worked fine (maybe it was backwards and I didn't know it) I would recommend this band as an easy economic band for an apple watch and great if you like to change it out for looks or just to clean.

I was very excited when I saw the new apple band came out. As a long time wearer of Apple Watches, I am always looking for a new band to try with my Apple Watch. The bands have certainly come a long way from the initial ones that came with the watch, but there still are flaws I’ve found. I was looking for a band that went on easily, as I am always in a rush. I wanted it to be easily adjustable, as my body temperature changes when I’m at the gym. I would like it not show dirt, and last for a long time. When i received it in the mail, the band initially looked very similar to my current band. However, the watch straps on my wrist easier than my current band. In terms of wearing it throughout my day, I really haven’t found much of a difference between my old band and this new one My overall thoughts are, if you like the color or look of this band, there’s no reason not to get it. It’s certainly durable and comfortable. If you have a newer band, I would by say this is a must-have, as it’s quiet similar to most of the bands they have manufactured throughout the years.

I had high hopes for this band but really didn't like it. There is an extra plastic piece that the end feeds through that digs into my wrist when I put my arm down on my desk at work. It is too short so that I have to completely undo it each time and I don't see on the packaging that there are different sizes. The thinness seemed appealing that it may make it more feminine but in reality it just make it more unstable so it moved around more on my wrist. It felt flimsy and cheap. The color was fine the material seemed about the same as other versions of this style band. It just increased the chance of me accidentally dropping my watch with having to take it apart and feed the tail through each time. The end of the tail fitting through the plastic piece was a tight fit as well so it took a few attempts while balancing the watch on my wrist. Maybe if I hadn't had years of having the loop option where I could just put my hand through and tighten I wouldn't see this as so awkward and uncomfortable.

Great it works amazing I would totally recommend to anyone!

I loved everything about the product. This is the 3rd time thst I purchased the same item for a family member! Best Buy RULES!!!

Order this for my son because the original band was cutting into his wrist. He likes it. Durable, strong and light.

Wife was getting a rash with the plastic ones. This helped, no rash!

Velcro watch band for my Apple 4 is very much appreciated. My older hands and fingers are not working as well as they use to. This watch band makes putting the watch on and off SO much easier!
