    This watchband has a very unique look that I really like. It is a little tricky hooking the loop for sizing, but you get used to it right away.

    After owning several of Apple’s in house manufactured bands and thinking the price point for them is very unnatractive, I decided to try out some alternatives. I am absolutely happy with my choice to do such and my wallet is as well lol. This band is comparable to Apples “Alpine Loop” that has an MSRP of $99 and you have this insigina edition going for $29 it is a no brainer. This looks so clean and feels “Premium”. I have not only bought this band but 3 other of their apple watch ultra bands. This purchase was a secondary purchase after purchasing the stainless steel link band. all in all, Apple is charging that “Apple Tax” that we all know very well for their bands and if you want something that is almost IDENTICAL to such. I would highly recomend checking out the BestBuy brands editions of such.

    Nice band, but expensive

    This band saved me from spending another $100 at the Apple Store, but it’s not perfect. The hook mechanism is a two handed ordeal, and it can be tough to find the “just right” (Goldilocks) setting for your wrist. I have to wear the watch a little too tight for workouts and a little too loose for casual wear. It’s not a deal breaker (for the price), but I’m still looking for my dream watch band.

    Great looking black band. Passes to be an apple band in my opinion. I have this paired with the insignia black silicon case and a zag screen protector making it the best combination for those heavy duty jobs that require you working with your hands.

    It works super well when it comes to protecting the screen. Any minor nicks are actually gone the next day, which is pretty cool. The only issue is that it feels much worse than the actual screen. Its a weird, almost sticky-like feeling. Not the worst thing ever, and definitely worth the comfort I feel wearing the watch (and not a bad price either). Would buy again for another apple watch.

    I purchased the Insignia Rugged Nylon band for my new Apple Ultra watch. Overall I am pretty happy with the purchase and it is holding up pretty well. The band is well built and is a great deal for price (compared to the $100 Apple trail loop). My biggest complaint is that the band loops back further from the watch, causing it to overlap more than necessary which makes it a little less breathable.
