    Beautiful band, but weak clasp. It continuously unhinges with movement. Love to look just wish I did not have to continue closing it every few minutes.

    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

    While I liked the band, the snap didn’t work well for my tiny wrist. It also looks more like a standard watch band - I prefer the look of Apple Watch bands more.

    Dressy watch.

    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.
