It stretches out to easily and it will loosen up on you all of the time

This is the second Insignia braided band that I have used and I swear they just keep getting more comfortable! This green very OD/light forest green looking but hides dirt, grime, and sweat extremely well and is very easily washable. The bad is easy to adjust to your wrist and has some flex to be able to get around your hand and onto your wrist, once it's on and well adjusted, your watch is very securely attached! There is absolutely no worry about your watch sliding off or the band coming unclasped (because there is no clasp), it is comfortably safe on your wrist and fully worry free! The variety of colors is nice, but I really was drawn to this green after my last one, that was a sandstone/light tan color, started to look pretty gnarly after a few months of running and training. Now that I have this one, I was able to run the old one through the wash and it also came out very nicely! I would definitely recommend this wristband to anyone looking to spruce up their Apple Watch, and who isn't a snob about the band not being an Apple branded one. These things are seriously comfortable!

The quality of the Insignia Braided Nylon Band is on par with the first party bands offered by Apple. I have really been liking this band, and I think its even better then the Braided Solo Loop that Apple makes. This is not only much cheaper, but also adjustable. With the Solo Loop, you have to measure your wrist and make sure you order the right size the first time. The Insignia is much better since it's easily adjustable and can still be easily removed. The green color that I received is really nice and complement my green Apple Watch Series 7. In terms of quality, it's amazing. Maybe not as smooth as the Solo Loop, but still I am very impressed with it. As with any Apple Watch band, it's very easy to install and takes no time at all. I would normally not ever think about getting a watch band that wasn't made by Apple, but Insignia has really surprised me and changed my mind. The Braided Nylon Band is one of my favorite bands I've used in the 8 years of wearing an Apple Watch. It's high quality, inexpensive, and functional.

Needing a basic watch band for my Apple watch I came across the Insignia Braided Nylon Watch Band which is a cost effective watch band from Best Buy’s house brand Insignia. This watch band is made of braided nylon which is comfortable to wear and looks good with a woven pattern. The band easily attaches to your 38mm, 40mm or 41mm Apple watch. The material is lightweight and you barely notice you are wearing it. This nylon watch band by design is water resistant and looks good on your wrist. It comes is a few colors and I chose the “Stone” color which is subtle and low key. The watch band has a basic buckle mechanism and a loop to strap down any excess material. The band is ¾ of an inch wide and is comfortable to wear. I actually bought a few other colors after seeing the quality of another product by Best Buy’s value line of Insignia brand products. Absolutely works for me ! >> Pros: > good value, relatively inexpensive. > looks good. > comfortable to wear > waterproof, after all it is braided nylon material.

Feels cheap and becomes loose after a couple of weeks.

Broke in less than 30 days, I would not buy this again

Wouldn’t buy. Won’t stay tight if you are active. Threw it away after a couple days

I have a space gray 44mm apple watch. This nylon band complements my watch very nicely. It’s constructed with strong material, unlike another nylon band I purchased at the local $5 store. That nylon band literally broke and the threads removed after only 2 days. This one as I mentioned is made of quality material, with a smooth metal size adjuster on the band it’s built to last. This same smooth adjuster is one of the reasons I like this band. it's not hard on your wrists. The ones provided by apple, and many other types I’ve used in the past, have uncomfortable clasps that sit directly underneath your wrist once you put the watch on. Over time during the day, especially working on a computer for the majority of my day, this starts to hurt and add pressure on the bottom of your wrist due to the metal knub pushing up into your wrist. Not comfortable at all on your veins and just irritating. This band, at least for my wrist size, has the metal adjuster offset to the side. This way it never really has pressure applied directly to the adjuster. The adjuster is also a smooth metal clasp, and no knubs or hard points to it. The band is stretchy with nice elasticity. You can slide the watch on and off with ease. Although it’s stretchy, it stays on your wrist tight and will not fall off unlike some Velcro bands I’ve used in the past. There are only 2 things I’m not crazy about, but they are not deal breakers, just something I wanted to note for all you thinking about picking one up. The band with itself, is pretty skinny for my liking, wish it were a little wider. I like my watches and watch bands big. The other thing, and this is really the only legitimate complaint I have, is that I’m constantly tightening the adjuster. It seems to loosen up periodically during the day. I find myself adjusting approx. 5-10 times per day. That said, to me this one is still worth it to get away from Velcro bands, and the rubber apple provided bands that stab under your wrist all day. I’d recommend this to anyone for sure, and bonus, it doesn’t break the bank.

I use my apple watch fitness band rigorously. I need something that holds up to sweat and will stay in place. This isn’t that. Honestly it’s not meant to be. This is a $20 nylon braided band. For the cost, like the title says, it’s “ok”. But thats it. Nothing to write home about. It is comfy and stretchy and does adjust quite easily, but that’s about it. It did not get itchy or anything on my wrist while wearing it and it also installed super easily and snapped into place like other apple watch bands do. But here’s where I didn’t really like it. After a few days, I found the band slowly loosening on my wrist, and having to pull tight the adjustment clasp again. Not relentlessly, but atleast twice a day. And this was mostly with normal movement. Walking around at work, raising arms up and down, etc. no hard labor or anything like that and the clasp would simply start to come loose a little. I also didn’t like that something basic as washing your hands would get sections of this wet and leave it wet for longer than I would like. I didn’t wear this during workouts, but I get sweaty and my wrists get sweaty and I don’t see where this would let my wrist breathe enough like the nike workout bands do. Anything without breathe able holes in the band is going to be tough for workouts. But again, this band is not supposed to do that. But if you do alot of workouts or even exercise frequently and get sweaty, I wouldn’t recommend this. But if you don’t plan on moving much and are pretty stationary most of the time, this could be an ok watch band.

I received this Band as a replacement for my stock Apple Watch Ultra trail band. The color of the metal attachment site is slightly darker than my titanium. Apple Watch Ultra, but would likely look even better on a black watch face. The band itself has an excellent build quality. Stretch excellent and it is easy to put on and will not shift if you It tighter, which can be done with one hand, and without taking off the band, as it is similar to a loop band that I had with an older Apple Watch. The color is a flat fairly deep black, which is darker than the gray trail band that it replaced. The Band is also a bit less wide than the trail band giving the face a somewhat relative larger appearance. The nylon is thick and high-quality. The Band attachment site is high-quality and it is quite easy to exchange with a factory Apple Watch band. Nylon tends to cause less skin irritation than polyester and some other fabrics so it is always nice to see a high-quality nylon band. Insignia quality in my experience over the last several years has significantly improved, and , I do not hesitate to purchase if they have the correct product.

My wife has always bought the flat silicone watch bands for her Apple Watch. I picked up this Insignia braided nylon band so she could see if she liked it. It is very stretchy so it slipped over her hand easily. She said she found it comfortable to wear all day. The only complaint she has is that the slide buckle will loosen throughout the day and it can really slack up if you bump the buckle with something like your purse. Easy enough to tighten it back up and it’s not going to fall off since it’s a one piece band but it happens often. Seems like it needs something to secure it in place better? It even loosens just taking it off and on but that’s not such a big deal. It was easy to install on the watch, she initially put on the band with the buckle where it would sit towards the back of her wrist but after it kept getting bumped loose she switched the band around so the buckle was closer to the other side. That did help some but it still gets loose. I will say that it fit the watch well and the braided nylon design looks good but the loosening is a deal breaker for her.

The issue I have struggled with on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 is wrist fatigue. With it being a heavier and thicker watch, it is sometimes not the most comfortable thing to wear on your wrist for an entire day. I have shopped around for watch bands that might make it more comfortable for some time now, but have not had very much luck. Many of them just are not made from a material that is comfortable in all temperatures and for long days like mine. The Braided Nylon Band from Insignia has finally checked all of the boxes I am looking for! First off it looks fantastic! The braided look and the color of the material is excellent and goes with about anything you might wear. The band fits snugly on my wrist and is SO EASY to adjust! Best of all, it is extremely breathable so it stays comfortable on your wrist no matter how long you wear it, and if you are sporting the Ultra series Apple Watch you know how absolutely important that is! This band is also an amazing value, coming in so much cheaper than the first party options!

Well made, comfortable, and lovely. Delivered on time. I was not disappointed.

I've gotten many different styles of replacement bands to switch out and wear on every model of Apple Watch I have owned; beyond the default silicone band that came on them originally. I've tried woven metal bands, stretchy elasticized ones, even a paracord band. Watch bands with buckles, and ones that you just slide onto your wrist. Fancy and plain bands. Inexpensive and the more pricey ones. So while this Insignia brand Braided Nylon Apple Watch Band is one of those "less expensive" types, it's still nonetheless a welcome addition to my watch band collection. In my experience sometimes different silicone bands have caused me minor irritation on my wrist (though I don't have an allergy that I know of). So it's really ideal to have alternative choices for me to be able to switch out on my Apple Watch, if/when this occasionally happens. The material this band is made of doesn't feel like nylon. Rather, it feels like a soft "yarn like" cord material. There is an elasticized stretch to it, too. The slider buckle is easy to adjust, and is comfortable to wear against the skin. And this Insignia Apple Watch band is available in several color choices. Also, in the event you need to clean your watch band, it's simple enough to do so by hand with some mild dish soap, and allow the band to completely air dry. My take? This Insignia Braided Nylon Band for Apple Watch is basic, yet awesome! Just get one.

I was hoping this could be my new watchband going forward. I have been using the same sports band since the first generation. So far I'm not sure if I can see myself wearing it all day. It does feel a little itchy. I'm not sure if maybe there is some break-in period with it. Maybe over time the cloth will irritate my skin less. I've used metal bands and sports bands, and from the start they feel more comfortable. I have not worn it much so I suppose I will see over time. The part where it latches on feels a little loose. This is all to be expected since it is a pretty cheap band. Usually Apple makes the best connectors anyway compared to other brands. The band itself it stretchy but not too stretchy. It is easy to take the band on and off. However, when you put the band back on you do have to shrink it a little bit. It does loose its shape when removing and putting it on. I will say the metal clasp is an annoyance. As I write this review with my laptop, I have my watch pressed against it of course. Because of that, my clasp could be scratching my laptop and is pressing into my skin. Although it does not seem too bad. Over time I'm hoping this can be in my normal rotation of bands.

This watch band is a nice change of pace from the rubber band that comes with the Apple Watch. I also have a leather band and black stainless steel bands depending on the occasion or the look I'm going for. This nylon band is extremely lightweight and breathable. It connects easily but I had to flip it around the other way after trying it on because the buckle was in an awkward position after tightening it. My only complaint with this really is that it's awkward to adjust the tightness while keeping the watch in place, so it usually requires a couple of adjustments. The nylon also keeps slipping in the buckle during the day, so it requires occasional re-tightening. Also, when it loosens up the watch moves and doesn't register as being worn until you fix it. Overall, it's a nice, lightweight band that would probably be great in the summer with a casual outfit. I'm not sure I'll use it often, but it really depends on what your tastes are and what you're looking for. It is made with quality materials so for the price it's a good value.

The Insignia Braided Nylon Band for Apple Watch fits all models of the new Apple Watches - 42, 44, 45 or Apple Ultra. I have the AppleWatch 8 and love this band. It is a "solid" band. By that I mean it does not have two pieces that snap or tie together. It is one piece with a slider that makes it adjustable. Just slide it to tighten or loosen as you need it. It was very easy to install (it was actually harder to get the old band off than get this one on there.) I was worried that it stretch out over time but don't think that will be an issue. I have had it for a week and taken it off and put it back on several times and it is still just as solid as when it was new. Thankfully this band does not itch and hasn't "held on" to sweat like some of the leather and silicon bands that I have used tend to do. It is a great economical, stylish choice of band to add to your Apple Watch band collection. It is really a great band. Would high recommend for all uses as with the dark black color can be worn for even more formal occasions.

This has been one of my favorite Apple Watch bands. It reminds me of the official braided nylon band from Apple, but the Insignia version is a bit better because you can easily size it for almost any size wrist. The olive green color that I have looks great, but I wouldn't call it olive. It looks more like a worn-in army green. With that said, I still love the color as green is my favorite. The material is relatively soft and comfortable. With a little bit of stretchiness to it, I feel that you can easily slip it on your wrist without having to adjust through the buckle area. Given the braided design, I feel that the brand is relatively breathable. The only gripe that I would have to say about the band is the buckle is kind of uncomfortable depending on where it ends up. It takes quite a bit of adjustment to find the right position to where it does not bother my wrist while being worn or when doing some things like typing. Having said all that, I do think the Insignia Braided Nylon Band is a great product for the price. Especially given other brands out there - like the Apple version.

Fit my Series 9, 45 mm great. Lightweight and comfortable. I have a small wrist around 6” and have a hard time finding bands. This fit great with plenty of stretch/adjustment for those that need it bigger. It also matched the Starlight color perfect. Would purchase another if theg had other lighter colors.

I really wanted to like this light weight band, but just didn't work for me. Have used this for almost a week now, and well this is going to go into the jewelry box and saved for when I need for a matching outfit or event. Starting with the pluses: - This does seem to be a durable material, well made and not fraying, no fabric threads outstanding, etc. - The metal components are nicely done, and no visible joins or solder points - it is very light weight - It is soft and not irritating against the skin So where this band lost me - With a larger hand and wrist, even when I have this set to almost the max width, I have to stretch the band to get it over my hand and on. - The slide is difficult to manage when at this max length, and it really difficult to finagle and slide to get it tight enough - Despite getting it to what I think is tight, it is still just loose enough that the watch loose contact with my wrist, and locks itself While I haven't taken it outside and outdoors yet, concerns that this light colored band and the fabric is going to get dirty quickly and be difficult to clean
