    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.

    Stylish and elegant 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.

    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!

    Very happy with this purchase. This band exceeded my expectations. The champagne color matches my Apple Watch trim beautifully. The fit is comfortable. The magnetic closure is easy to use. Overall very pleased and recommend highly. High end appearance for a fraction of the price.

    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.

    Absolutely love it. Sent back my Apple watch band because i liked this one. Better. Color is perfect for my silver watch casing and also for my daughter's gold casing. We are both very pleased with them .Love the magnetic latch much better than plastic (hole) or woven one. Much easier to fasten. Also much less costly than the Apple mesh bands. Very pleased with it.

    High quality metal mesh band at a very reasonable price. The magnetic closure is strong and secure. The champagne color matches very well with my starlight Apple Watch. It is well worth the money as it seems it should cost more, a great value. Definitely recommend

    The watch band fits my new 41mm Apple Watch well. It is the same type of band as I used for my old Apple Watch, but they moved the magnetic clasp from immediately above the watch to a couple of inches below it. Personally, that doesn’t make much difference to me. The problem is that this watch band is shorter, so I have a very difficult time getting it off and back on my hand without undoing the clasp completely. I used to be able to just loosen the watch band. Now, the clasp usually comes totally undone, then I have to fit the magnetic rectangle through the slot with one hand while I try to put the watch on the other wrist. It’s awkward and annoying to have to do that. Other than that issue, the watch band is great.

    Love this watch band. The use of magnets to hold the tightness in place is simple and sturdy. Only complaint is that when my watch vibrates, you can hear a tiny rattle where the band connects to the body of the watch.

    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.
