One of the great parts of having an Apple Watch is that you can quickly and easily swap out the bands, not just when they might break or wear out (IF they do), but also when you want to make a different sort of fashion statement.
This band is a great one for when you want to wear your high tech watch in a more fashionable setting. It's easy to swap in and out (just like any Apple Watch band as it uses the standard connectors) and does well match the rose gold watch options. The band itself is super high quality and made of very fine links which make it highly flexible and give it a nice feel against your wrist as well.
The BEST feature though is the "clasp" - it's a simple magnet on the end which makes the watch band nearly infinitely adjustable (it can adjust to any length from nearly it's full length to half-sized - basically the clasp can be all the way at one end or all the way at the other - because it's a magnet and doesn't rely on holes or other set mounting points. That's brilliant and lets you adjust the watch at any time.
So if you could use a slightly fancier watch band that's at home in daily wear or out on the town, this is a great option to look at for a great value as well (like many Insignia products). It's high quality, durable and stylish. Give it a try today!

Like socks to match an outfit, when you own an Apple Watch you will collect a number of bands for different occasions. Fitting the 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, and SE versions of the Apple Watch, this insignia band will make a great addition to your collection.
The band fits my 40mm watch perfectly and attaches easily. The magnetic sizing works well and the D-ring stays securely fastened throughout a normal day. I have not tried to wear it while exercising; for this I switch back to the more practical silicone strap, if I wear the Apple Watch at all.
The Insiginia band is comfortable to wear and, as someone who has never warmed up to silicone bands for daily wear, I really appreciate the look of the metal, as it makes the watch look at least somewhat more like a piece of jewelry than the traditional silicone bands do – or at least help it look not quite so geeky. The build quality is excellent, and I have had no issues in the time that I have owned it. Over the first month I have seen no sign of scratching or other wear.
The Insignia Mesh Band for Apple Watch is a great bargain, an excellent looking, high quality strap at a very reasonable price. I definitely recommend it.

Your sales person placed the order because you didn’t have a band in the size I needed. It arrived but was the wrong size. Your store is 85 miles from my house. I will return it when I return to Twin Falls. Not a happy camper but I know we all make mistakes in our life time. I know you will take care of me !

Insignia - Stainless Stell Mesh Band

Stainless steel mesh looks really good. Great quality and lightweight. Fits very nice on my wrist and makes a statement. I get alot of friends asking where I got the band. Very impressed with the Insignia brand for a watch brand, feels very much as a quality product should. I would highly recommend this watch band for your watch. I have had several watch bands over the years and this one has been one of the best I have had on my watch. Easy to get on and to take off the watch. Has a bit of a stretch yet easy to tighten to the right amount of tension and leave it alone. Fit and finish again is of high quality. The finish is not wearing off on my arm and I do wear it to dinners and to places where I want my watch to look its best. I have had other bands which the finish starts wearing off in a short period of time.
I will be buying more of these bands due to their pricing and their quality. The mesh loop is easy to fasten and tighten to my arm very easy. The band breathes so it doesn’t make my arm sweat. I like the way it looks against the watch itself. As I said before I get alot of compliments when I am wearing it.

Comfortable and sophisticated look

I’ve looked into the name brand version of this watch band a few times but never could justify the price of it. Insignia has knocked it out of the park with this band. It is so comfortable and easy to put on, I want to get it in every color!
I currently have a black Apple Watch and the black band on it looks so sharp. It’s much more stylish and professional looking. I’d feel much more comfortable wearing this band on a night out than the silicone band my watch came with.
The band slips in the slots on the watch face like butter. The “clasp” mechanism is a magnet and it has quite a strong grip. It’s a breeze to get the perfect fit on your wrist. No more picking between a little snug or a little loose. Once it’s in place it does not move. I’ve worn it to work, golfing, a night out and just the normal day to day errand running. I love the feel of this band. Arm hairs don’t get stuck in the band so you’re not feeling that awful pinch feeling randomly. I found this to be a problem for any off brand bands of this style.
If you’re looking for a more sophisticated band for your Apple Watch, this is the band for you.

Was a used strap. By the time I opened the package it was too late to return

Aesthetics and texture is of high quality. It looks elegant. But the mesh do get caught up w fine threads/textiles.
The magnet clasp can get detached, if arm “scrapes” w another object like car door/chair or surfaces w corners risking the watch could fall.
Over all it’s affordable and dresses up the watch.

Band too big, would not go down to my wrist size. Returned

This really does look great! I like to clean these types of watch bands often because the metal mesh does tend to hold in dirt. However, I do wear it literally EVERYWHERE. In the pool, to work, I really only take it off to charge my watch. That means it gets a little dirtier than most, but it also means that it goes with every single thing in my closet for almost any possible event. I really like how this one doesn’t cause sweating under the band. No smelly watch wrist here!
It is so easy to put on and take off . I recently had a band that stretched over your hand but it was so hard to get on and off. Then to have to try and tighten it with your other hand was almost impossible . So it was important to find a band that was easy to put on and take off. The band is very nice looking and feels very durable. The magnet is nice and strong but easy enough to pull off and adjust the band to your liking.
It has snagged 3 times. It did not ruin anything that it has snagged on, it just makes a little fuzz on the watch. I have been wearing it for about a month, so for me that’s really not an issue at all.
It still looks brand new after a month of continuous wear. I never worry about going easy on it because my lifestyle doesn’t really let me baby any watch band. I’ve had several friends and coworkers who have purchased this one because it looks so good after all that abuse. I don’t think anyone would regret buying this. I really like this band and am super happy I purchased it. I have no complaints.
Hi MacUser, thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your new watch band and that it's holding up so well with your active lifestyle. We're glad to hear that it's easy to put on and take off, and that the magnet is strong but adjustable. We appreciate your honesty about the band snagging a few times, but we're glad it hasn't caused any major issues. It's great to hear that it still looks brand new after a month of continuous wear. Thank you for recommending our band to your friends and coworkers - that's the best compliment we could receive. We're so happy that you're super happy with your purchase. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Enjoy your versatile and durable watch band! -Carlo, Insignia Products

It’s a perfect size for a female. Too small for a man wrist.

The black stainless steel Mesh band by Insignia for Apple Watch arrived in a nicely designed retail package. This watch band fits Apple Watches of 38, 0 and 41mm sizes. I opened it upon arrival to try out and evaluate for best buy.
The first thin I had to do was disassemble my prior watch band and boy, was I surprised at all the gunk that had accumulated over the past couple of years. So a good cleaning was in order before trying to install the Insignia band.
Once cleaned my Apple watch looked like brand new and the new Insignia watch band was ready to be installed with the new stainless steel mesh band. I simply slid the "D-ring" and the opposite side slide into the watch grooves until I heard and felt them click in place. Then I put it on my wrist and looped the long end of the watch band through the opposite D-ring, pulled it somewhat tight around my wrist and affixed the magnetic clasp to the back of the band to hold the band in place. I found the watch band to be somewhat tight on my wrist and found it was very easy to adjust the Insignia band to a more comfortable fit.
Overall, the Insignia Stainless steel Mesh watchband in black looks great, is very well mad and should last for many years. It has a clean, sleek sophisticated look that goes well with both casual and dress clothes so is good for any occassion. If you are in the market for a new watch band for your apple watch, I recommend the Insignia product highly!

Good-Looking Watch Band for a Great Price

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Insignia™ - Stainless Steel Mesh Band for Apple Watch 38mm, 40mm, 41mm and SE is a good product at a great price. I’ve been using leather, belt-buckle-style, bands ever since I started wearing Apple Watches. It’s just been my go-to style. I wasn’t looking for anything else until this crossed my path.
Installation is simple and easy. It’s clearly designed for the Apple Watch. My hands are not that big, but, at first, I was disappointed that putting it on requires the magnetic clasp end of the band to come completely off it’s end of the watch. Not being used to this and how it works was frustrating for the first couple days. However, once I got the hang of it, it’s easy and no problem.
Being the first watch band of this style I’ve used, I was surprised at how comfortable it is. For some reason I expected it to feel stiff and awckward. But no, it’s very comfortable. The endless flexibility in how tight or loose you wear it is great for different activities and producing slight variations in how it ‘feels’.
On top of all this is the simple fact that it looks nice. For my wife, it’s a huge improvement over my previous leather bands. I can’t argue with that.
All-in-all, a good-looking, comfortable watch band for a great price.

Great stainless steel mesh band for Apple watch!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have purchased quite a few Apple watches over the years and with that said I have went through my share of watch bands. I am kind of a connoisseur of watch bands. I have had metal, plastic, rubber, etc. I have become a fan of the metal bands and have had a similar band that closely compares to the stainless steel mesh band. Changing the band to install this band is usually very easy to do with the Apple watch. It was snug but nothing like you had to apply some pressure as some of the bands I have had to do over the years. These types of watch bands can match the exact size you need which is one of the reasons why I like these types of bands. The ones with pre-punched holes are nice but if it is cold or hot outside sometimes your wrist will change with the weather where if you have pre-punched holes sometimes you have to adjust and it either can be to loose or to tight. With this type you can adjust to the exact size you would like your watch band to fit. This band looks sharp when wearing and it is very economical. I would highly recommend this brand especially if you are a watch band fan.

It looks great with a rose gold watch. It is perfect for a slimmer wrist. The double latch makes it extremely easy to take off which is a problem bot my wife and I share with wearing metal bands. The silver and gold look classy and really change the look of the watch compared to the regular sports band. I love that it came with all the tools to adjust the band size, out of the box it was big enough for my wrist but was able to take it down to almost the smallest it got for my wife, but it could still go smaller so if you have slim wrists, it should still fit you. If you pop open the bottom there are a couple extra tips one of which I used to push the pins back in so be aware of that. If you are looking for a nice-looking band this one is a great option. I have a metal allergy that slowly eats my skin and this one didn’t set it off, however, that can sometimes be a coating that eventually wares off.
Pros:
Looks great
Comfortable
Size is customizable and semi-permanent (if you lose the pieces than permanent)
Cons:
It is a little difficult to adjust the size, but I see this as more of a one-time thing

I have an Apple Watch Series 8 which is 44mm, however! This band still fits believe it or not! It's still secured tightly onto the Apple Watch and is only slightly short when you put in and connect the inserts onto the watch. The color is great and quality is like an official Apple product in my opinion. It's easy to install and the strap works nicely.
This type of mesh band is nice because of how easily adjustable the sizing is compared to the bands with holes in them. I haven't tested it with sweat/water yet though to see if there will be discoloration. So far it's just been used with general usage of wearing throughout the day while walking around as normal.
I have a red Apple Watch, so I admit the color doesn't quite go as well with it, but it makes the Apple Watch look nicer haha. It truly is a great band and at a great price. Really nothing bad to say about it and all positives.
If you don't like it, return it. But it's worth giving a try. I'm pretty confident that you will like this.

My wife is the Apple Watch owner (I'm not really and Apple guy anymore), and a stainless steel band was on her list of haves. Wasn’t thinking of Insignia as a brand to deliver the type of product she would be pleased with, but don’t sleep on them. I’ve learned they are strong players in the game with most, if not all of their offerings.
I’ll forever be a package guy. I must say, the package for this band is very average, but don’t be fooled. Out of the box, the quality construction is evident. I’ve handled other stainless steel bands, high quality products, and this was no different. It also fit her watch perfectly. My wife did not need my assistance with the install either – always a plus. The band feels strong and sturdy, and looks very nice.
Can’t help but recommend this band to anyone in the market for a stainless steel band for their Apple Watch, or if you want to glamorize your watch on occasion. My wife has a 40mm watch, and it fits and looks fantastic. I highly recommend it.

This steel mesh band for the Apple Watch is a fairly nice little accessory for your watch.
The construction of the band is robust with a very good fit and finish. It feels more comfortable against my skin than I expected it to and the magnet that holds it closed is very strong. Not so strong that it makes removing it difficult but strong enough to wear without wearing about your watch falling off.
Putting it on your watdh is fairly straight forward, as to be expected for a band designed for Apple Watch. Slide it into one of the slots designed for watch bands and you are good to go. My main complaint would be putting on your watch while threading the strap through one side. With practice it does get easier but the first day or two it requires a little more thinking on your part. Once you're used to that then you are good to go.
The steel mesh part of the band feels like it will last a long time. I usually wear a leather watch band but usually after about two years it will break. That has always been the case. With this one I feel it will last much, much longer.
If you are looking for a watch band that will last you long term and feel good on your wrist then this one is for you.
