Love this band for my Apple Watch Ultra. It’s so pretty and makes my watch look elegant and sporty at the same time. Great price too.

Great watch with a larger face and great battery life. The auto water lock and new app features are a solid upgrade. My only gripe is I barely brushed my arm against a cement wall and got a huge scratch on the top of the watch. Get a case!! The glass could be better but overall I love the watch. I even use it while I play hockey!

Great adjustable Apple Watch band

The box it came in was a no frills Insignia box. Unboxing the band was held in place by clear plastic bands. The bands were so strong I had to cut it in order to release the band.
The band was very nice and made of good quality material. I was given the stone colored band for my 45mm Apple 8 watch. The band fit perfectly fit was very similar to the the band that came with the watch.
The band was very soft and comfortable. Was very easy to adjust the size to fit my wrist. The buckle that holds the band adjustment in place was very flat and it didn’t seem like anything was there because it didn’t add weight to the band.
Taking the band off was very easy because the band was elastic. The great thing was that you can take the band off without it stretching and having to readjust when you put it back on.
Color was very nice and neutral. Can be worn with casual or dressy outfits.
Overall, this is a great band. I love that it’s adjustable so you can wear it loose or fitted. The only thing is when washing hands it can get wet and take some time to dry. Or you can take the watch off when washing hands and don’t have to worry about it getting wet. I would recommend buying this band if you like to change your band often. It’s great that it’s adjustable.

Insignia™ - Braided Nylon Band for Apple Watch is a beautiful addition to my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I chose Stone color, because my Ultra 2 came with a black band. I was pleasantly surprised about how breathable this band is! It is super comfortable.
Simply stretch the band to fit over your wrist & fine tune the fit with the clasp on the back. Once you set the clasp, simply stretch it to place on or off of your wrist.
I love that the stretchy design hugs your wrist & is never too tight, or too loose. It fits just right, and can be easily adjusted in seconds with the clasp, if needed. The band is made of easy to clean nylon braids.
Stone is a beautiful neutral color. It blends with everything & has a very classy appearance. Another surprising benefit: the clasps that slide into the Apple Watch are Titanium color & are a perfect match to the Ultra 2!
This band fits the Apple Watch 42mm, 44mm, 45mm and Apple Watch Ultra & Ultra 2 49mm (All Series).
CONCLUSION:
The Insignia braided nylon band is my favorite & the most comfortable band for my Apple Watch Ultra 2. It earns my highest recommendation.

Comfortable and Stretchy Watch Band

I just got an Apple Watch Ultra with the Ocean band, which I love for swimming and workouts, but sometimes it feels a bit too heavy for normal day-to-day use around town. This Insignia braided band fills the gap perfectly - it's lightweight, breathable, stretchy, and very comfortable.
=== PROS ===
- Easy to install. If you've ever installed an Apple Watch band, this one is no different. You'll have to decide whether you want the looped part of the band at the top or bottom of the Apple Watch. I prefer it at the bottom.
- Wide range of compatibility - this works with Apple Watch sizes of 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, and 49mm (Apple Watch Ultra). It fits my Apple Watch Ultra very well.
- The watch band is very stretchy and comfortable. I briefly tried Apple's own "trail loop" band and I think this Insignia one is much more comfortable.
- This should fit a wide range of wrists with its easy adjustability. Those with very small or skinny wrists might find it too loose.
=== CONS ===
- Those with sensitive skin might want to look for a watch band without a textured surface. This Insignia band has a weaved texture, which I like, but it tends to leave an imprint on my wrist after a full day of use. If you're prone to rashes or skin irritation, this might bother you.
- I wish the band were just 1 or 2mm wider to better pair with the Apple Watch Ultra. The band looks just a little too narrow paired with the large, wide Apple Watch Ultra.
=== OVERALL ===
This is an excellent watch band for those looking for an affordable alternative to Apple's versions. I still prefer the Ocean band for workouts, but this Insignia nylon band is great for day-to-day wearing. And for the price, you can't go wrong.

I was honestly surprised how much I like this band. I originally had bought the watch with one of those woven stretch bands and then picked up a plastic stretch and a metal bracelet. I generally wear it with the metal band or the white ocean band, but since I received this band it’s been my go to ever since. I think the nice thing about the band is that it’s got some adjustability with the buckle that allows you to expand or shrink the overall sizing. This makes it much more customizable versus the “pick your exact size” setup and surprisingly I never feel the buckle mechanism when wearing it. Overall the fabric of woven strap is fairly coarse but that probably means it’ll last longer than something more delicate but fair warning if you have soft skin.
I think the most notable thing about the strap will be the eventual longevity. Now at this price point I wouldn’t mind picking up another one if needed, but I’m a big fan of stuff lasting so that’s my hope here. Since you still stretch the band to get it on your wrist, we’ll have to see how well the elasticity holds up over a year.

Unless you’re getting some extremely fancy type of material for your watch band, these are all pretty similar with greatly varying prices. What’s great about the Insignia Braided Nylon Band is that it is a great quality band for an absolutely great price. It’s easy to adjust it to your wrist size with a lot of adjustability for all different wrist sizes. It’s comfortable! I usually wear my Apple Watch to bed for sleep tracking and my old silicon band was causing rashes, I’m guessing due to sweating throughout the night. This band breathes a lot better and I am not having any issues with smell or anything from sleeping with it. I do have sensitive skin and when I first took the band out of the box and wore it, it did feel itchy. Over time though that issue has gone away. The only other slight complaint I have is that with the connectors on the band, only one side has the metal ring so it bugs my brain that it needs symmetry with something stylish like an Apple Watch. The color does excellently match my Starlight colored Series 9 watch body so all in all I am very happy with it!
Pros:
Looks great!
Excellent price
Comfortable
Easy to adjust
Feels sturdy
Cons:
Could be itchy for those with sensitive skin first out the box
Metal ring is only on one side of band
