    New life into an old Apple Watch

    The Insignia stainless steel mesh band for Apple Watch looks and feels great, similar to the OEM band at a fraction of the price. Apple has done a great job keeping their bands compatible over numerous models and this band fits my wife’s older Apple Watch 3 perfectly. The stainless steel “infinity” band is a great way to dress up an Apple Watch and it’s super easy to switch between bands with a click in magnet and slide system. If you’ve ever had an Apple Watch you know how easy it is to swap the bands to change up the look or make the Apple Watch more suitable for whatever is on your calendar whether is a pool or workout day, or a dinner at a nice restaurant. This band is also super light weight yet has excellent build quality and the magnet and band do not slip or get loose once on your wrist. The color is also a champagne color that matches my wife’s rose gold watch perfectly. She’ll be super happy to get the new band and I can hold off buying her a new Apple Watch for a few more years.

    great value for a nice looking band

    I have been looking at an upgrade from the plastic band I got with my Apple Watch SE. I wasn’t ready to pay Apple prices for a metal band, so this looked like a reasonable alternative. At roughly half the price of the Apple-branded metal band, it is very similar in appearance. I was nervous that it wouldn’t fit as well, but I have no complaints so far. The steel link pattern is very fine, giving it a smooth almost clothlike feel. It is quite flexible and very comfortable to wear. It never gets tangled on the hair of my arm, as I’ve had other styles of metal bands do in the past. The magnetic clasp is very easy to operate and holds in place most of the time (though not as tightly as the hook-loop clasp on my Nike Sport band). The band easily slides all the way out of the loop on the bottom of the watch, which makes it easy to get on and off if you have larger hands. I noticed a couple quirks, though. First, when I unboxed the band it looked like the links were bent in a couple places. It turns out that they were just kinked at a weird angle, and a bit of a tug on the band flattened it out and it looked perfect. Occasionally it will get kinked again if it is bent at a sharp angle, but nothing to worry about. Bend it back and it will flatten out again without any damage. Second, there’s a visible gap between the band and the bottom of the watch. This is the only obvious visible difference I can see between this band and the similar Apple branded band. Pros: Stylish, durable enamel finish, very comfortable. Cons: Visible gap between the band and bottom of watch, magnetic clasp can slip slightly during the day, very tiny blemishes in the finish out of the box.

    Elegant looking stainless steel mesh band. Fits my 41mm Apple Series 7 watch just as if it were factory original. I love how easy these bands are to swap out and it’s nice to know that if you put one of the ends in upside down it won’t lock in place (so you know the orientation is wrong). It took me a minute to figure out which end was top or bottom, but I guess that doesn’t really matter with this kind of clasp. The magnet essentially gives you infinite sizing options across the length of the band, because there are no holes to latch onto. You simply pull to tighten and rest the magnet wherever you prefer. Kind of like a drawstring, but way more elegant. I haven’t had it come undone or fall off my wrist yet, so it seems to hold in place well. I can’t really find anything to complain about, but I was a little surprised that the clasp slides out of the D ring easily when removing the watch. It’s a good thing if you have bigger hands so it’s easier to put on. For some reason I thought it would stay in a fixed loop when taking it off, but that depends on how you use the magnet. Just something to keep in mind when taking it on/off, but it’s the same process for most other bands anyway. Overall, I’m excited to add this band to my collection and it’s a nice switch up for when I need something more spiffy. Good job Insignia! TL;DR - Fits like factory - Elegant finish - Comfortable - Fully customizable sizing - Easy to install - Great value

    The classic band I was looking for...

    Style This is a great classic band to use with your Apple watch. I have been on the hunt for the perfect band but had not yet figured out which material I prefer. This stainless steel link band is great. It looks very classic to me with the traditional link look. The design of the link band has both silver tone and gold tone links which provides some flexibility if I want to match the rest of my jewelry. I don't feel limited by what other accessories I can wear with this band. Fit I was disappointed that this didn't just fit, although I was naïve to think it might fit straight out of the box. It does come with a tool to remove links to help right-fit the band to your wrist. A necessary evil in my opinion. Once adjusted, the band fits perfectly and comfortably on my arm so the flexibility with adjusting the band met my needs. I will caution you about wearing it to bed. I'm sure many folks do not wear their watch to bed, but I am one of those that do. I appreciated the tracking it provides of my sleep, alarms, and the ability to quickly identify the time when my youngest wakes me up in the middle of the night. This band is not one that I sleep in. I did a couple of nights and found that my wrist was hurting. When I started swapping it at nighttime for a different band, the pain subsided so I do attribute the pain to the metal band. It was annoying but understandable and not a huge problem for me but one I wanted to share in case others might not want to swap out bands frequently. Ease of Adjusting A tool is included in the package. Be sure that you get all the pieces. Apparently, I threw away a couple of pieces with the boxes but was unaware until my husband did the work with the tool to adjust the watch to fit my wrist. By my standards, adjustment was hard because it required a tool and instructions. My husband would tell you it was easy, but all in all it took him about 10 minutes without the pieces I threw away to adjust it to fit my wrist. Durability I love that this is stainless steel. As a mom, I am tough on my watch so I really appreciate the durability of this band being made of stainless steel. I expect that it will better withstand my life than some other bands that I have tried. Stainless steel doesn't tarnish, so I very much expect this band to have a long lifetime. Overall, I love the band and look forward to wearing it for quite some time.

    The Insignia in Stainless Steel Link Band for Apple Watch 38mm, 40mm, 41mm and SE that has both Silver & Rose Gold looks elegant and fancy. Right out of the box the band looks great, both the silver and rose gold colors looks great, the links are smooth and from a distance it looks like one piece. I got the band because it looks elegant on any wrist and my wife likes to swap the band a lot so having different options is a must. I really like how easy it was to take off a few links; the tool included makes it easy to remove them. The band is secured, it stays in place due to its good locking closure, just push into place and that is it, to take it off is also easy, push both sides of the band and it unlocks and ready to be off. The stainless steel is strong and once in place it does not come off, and I do like that this band can fit several sizes of the Apple Watch. And also since the band can be adjusted it can fit small to larger size wrists. Overall the band was easy to install on the Apple watch, it was also easy to adjust to fit. It is easy to wear and take off. It looks classy and it goes well with both rose gold or silver face and more.

    Overall, I like this watch band. The build quality of the mesh is actually quite good. It's a brushed metal that seems to hold up well to grime. I haven't been particularly rough with it, so its durability remains to be seen, but in general it feels premium and similar to other stainless steel bands sold directly by Apple. The design is finicky in that it has two separate pieces that completely come apart (one of the lugs is completely standalone), so you have to take care that the band remains hooked over/onto that lug when you remove the strap, otherwise you might lose one of the lugs forever! The champagne color is versatile, and actually pairs well with the stainless steel gold watch despite being a slightly different finish. It cleans up the look of the watch relatively well. If there is one slight drawback of the strap, I would say it's how robust the magnets are. They seem strong when setting the strap, but seem to loosen easily if you were to flex your wrist up or down. The slight increase in wrist circumference causes the strap to give slightly, and then it doesn't sit snugly against your wrist anymore and becomes unpaired. It's not such a big deal that it would prevent you from wearing it out to classy occasions, but it might be an issue if you're planning to have even a somewhat active day.

    I was looking for a band that wasn’t fabric or silicone that would hold up well against sweat/water as my job has me working outdoors a lot. No issues or concerns with it so far as I typically wear my watch in the shower, and it’s held up super well. I was a little worried that this one would pull at the hair on my arm but it hasn’t been a problem while I’ve been using it. I really like that because it’s magnetic rather than a hole/pin style. I am able to make minute adjustments easily and the magnet holds super well. The band is also long enough that I can adjust it to the largest width and slide it off my wrist rather than having to loop it in/out of the arm each time I take it on and off, which I love as I’d find this a bit cumbersome if I did. Occasionally it will get some fibers stuck in it if I use a hand towel to dry it. The one disappointment is some discoloration that is happening at the edges and a line in the center where the two bands face each other. However this is only seen when I’m not wearing it so not a huge deal. It matches my stainless steel series 8 pretty well and feels high quality and looks very premium. It’s a great value and I am really happy with it.
