I absolutely love this band. I love how it fits around my wrist it’s PERFECT. I saw this some time ago & wondered if I would like it. I finally pushed the button & it is so worth it. I wish there was a gold one option to buy.

I really like how this looks but the magnet snags on my sleeves, tote bags, etc and comes loose. Not a dealbreaker but definitely annoying. The magnet reattaches to itself before falling off, but it gets loose and no longer tracks my heart rate (and makes me log back in!) Otherwise it’s a great band for the money and looks nice.

Love this band. I have worn the sport band that comes with the watch for years and worried this would look cheesy or smell metal-y but it is neither. Love this!! It’s also easy to put on. Took a minute to get used to it but now it’s easy. Also it matches the metal color perfectly.

This watch band is very low quality. Part of the metal on the edge bent outwards and is snagging all my clothes. I’ve tried to press the metal flat and it got a tiny bit better but still catches on my clothes. The magnet that keeps the band closed is also somewhat weak. I’m really disappointed in this purchase.

Verdict: Having owned Apple watches for years now, we have accumulated quite a few bands. This is one of the best ones I have owned. It looks great, it feels nice, and it’s easy to put on and size comfortably.
Initial Impressions. The package is basic… it doesn’t provide a premium feel, but I suppose I would prefer to pay less if the packaging savings are passed on to the customer. The actual watch band feels and looks great.
Setup. This band sets up exactly like all other bands. I use the long part of the band (the one without the hoop) on the lower side of the watch. If you try to install the band upside down, it will not lock.
Comfort. The watch band feels great and the sizing generally stays the same through the day from the magnetic connection.
What I love:
- It looks great
- It’s comfortable
- It’s easy to install
- The magnetic sizing stays correct through the day
- Great value
Overall, this is a very nice Apple watch band. It’s very elegant and comfortable. It’s also very affordable, and I love the color. I recommend this watch band!

This Insignia™ Stainless Steel Mesh Band for Apple Watch, compatible with 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, and Apple Watch Ultra 49mm (All Series) in Silver, pleasantly surprised me with its high-quality construction. It holds its own against other high-end bands in the market, boasting an eye-catching design. While the packaging doesn't exude extravagance, my primary focus was on the band itself, which did not disappoint.
The band features a clean design that not only looks great but also offers ease of wear. Attaching it to the Apple Watch is a breeze, and it functions seamlessly without any noticeable issues so far. The magnetic latch effectively stays in place, maintaining a secure fit over time. However, removing the band can be a bit cumbersome, and I've experienced a couple of instances where the loop slid off, causing the band to fall.
In terms of size, it fits my wrist well and presents an appealing aesthetic. I tested its resistance to water by washing my hands while wearing the watch, and the band held up admirably. Despite coming into contact with water, it dried without leaving any water spots or marks. Overall, I find this band to be a worthwhile purchase, combining both style and functionality.

I've never really diverged from the standard Apple watch band and have always used the black rubber midnight version that came with my Series 7 Apple Watch.
I was interested in the stainless steel model because it's not your typical 3rd party design, but one made and supported by Best Buy's own house brand known as Insignia. I already have a ton of products from them and generally enjoy the level of quality and value I get making this choice a no brainer.
THE PRODUCT:
Like I mentioned above, the general build quality of the product is above average in my honest opinion. I never tried the Apple version, but I can attest that there is no issues with the stainless steel link construction on this Insignia model. Seems very solid!
The only thing I worry about is that my "black version" might become scratched up on the paint over time due to metal on metal contact. If you worry about this like I do, I would generally suggest going for the standard stainless version as it is less prone to paint issues. This is the only real con I can see over a week of use with the product above.
OVERALL:
I would full recommend this as an alternative to the official Apple version. It's sleek, has a strong magnet, and matches the midnight variation of my Apple Series 7 watch quite well!
Solid 4/5.

I bought this band (and a couple of others) for my college student daughter who is mildly allergic to silicone and cannot wear Apple's original bands. This band is well built and looks as good if not better than Apple's version, it installs easily and magnetic closure is strong enough so keep the watch secure on the wrist. My daughter wears it pretty much all the time and is very happy.

I got this band in hopes it would fit my old Series 3 & then fit my husband’s wrist. Well, I does!!! He loves it! It is very sleek & even looks good with a suit. He has not had one complaint & it’s held up at his job this week. I don’t have any photos as he always has it on so it must be really comfortable & doesn’t pull arm hair.

Cheap alternative to the other options out there, but careful because the edge of the mesh could catch on cuffs of your clothes with long sleeves. Would recommend only using with short sleeves to avoid any potential damage. Otherwise, minimal design and branding, perfect fit

Hi there! Thanks for the thoughtful review! We’re glad the band fits well and looks great. That’s a helpful heads-up about long sleeves—we appreciate you sharing that tip for others!
