The band comes totally off, while take of watch it slips through the slot.

How to to return it, not the best product in the world

I recently tried out a black stainless steel mesh watchband after my silicone band started showing signs of wear and tear. Here’s my detailed review: First off, I appreciated the simplicity of the packaging. It didn’t overwhelm me with unnecessary instructions, which was a nice touch. The band fit my Apple Watch Ultra perfectly, which was a big plus from the start. In terms of appearance, the watch band looks incredibly sleek and stylish. It matches well with a lot of my wardrobe, adding a touch of sophistication whether I'm dressing casually or formally. I found it to be a great accessory that complements the look of my Apple Watch Ultra. However, after just a couple of uses, I noticed that the black finish started to develop a silver sheen. The color seems to wear out relatively fast, which was disappointing. If you’re someone who is bothered by visible wear and tear, this might be a deal-breaker. Another challenge I encountered was with the magnetic mechanism. It’s somewhat difficult to put on with one hand, and this might be due to the heaviness of my Apple Watch Ultra. While the clasp feels secure once it’s on, getting it there can be a bit tricky. Given its tendency to show wear quickly, I wouldn’t recommend this watch band for those with blue-collar or physically demanding jobs. The finish just doesn’t hold up well under those conditions. On the other hand, I’d recommend it to office workers or anyone with a less physically demanding job because it is very stylish and adds a nice flair to professional attire. Ultimately, my recommendation would depend on the individual’s situation. If you need a durable band for rough use, this might not be the best choice. But if you’re looking for something stylish to wear in a less demanding environment, it’s definitely worth considering. In summary, while the black stainless steel mesh watchband fits my Apple Watch Ultra perfectly and looks great, it does show signs of wear quite quickly. Consider your lifestyle and job demands before purchasing, but it’s a solid option for those in more sedentary roles.

Doesn't fit properly and easily slides out making it difficuit to stay on the hand.

Good quality but the band size does not didn't fit the cis man it was intended for. It was too small for his wrist, but fit the watch.

Band catches hair in arm. I do not have hairy arms.

Needs a stronger magnet to hold the strap in place.

I did not like the wristband. The material on the wristband felt cheap and not worth the price.

I don’t not like the wrist band. It felt cheap and was not worth the price.

I’ve had for 2 weeks and it’s already starting to have loose threads.

Should get zero stars. This band constently comes loose and needs tightened. Dont waste your money on this band.

Don’t buy. Support is nonexistent. Apple sucks. Apple sucks. Apple sucks.

Beautiful and comfortable band. This is my second Milanese loop band. I found the silicone band that comes with Apple watches uncomfortable as it didn’t breathe. This mesh band has a single magnet on the end of the strap that holds my watch securely while allowing a continuous adjustability to fit my 8.5 inch wrist. This band breathes and elicited wrist sweating. My previous band was black and I noticed a whitish residue probably from sweat and skin cells that was easily cleaned with some toothpaste and an old toothbrush. This band is so comfortable and flexible that I forget I’m wearing it. Does not come with instructions to attach but if you need a refresher there are YouTube videos. Essentially just look below watch for tiny little indentations near band attachment areas. Press in and slide old band off. If wearing watch on left arm place the band edge with the loop attachment at the lower section of the watch face. Slide in other section of band at top of watch face. Slide hand in opening and pull gently on magnet area to tighten. The build quality is top-notch. The stainless steel has proven to be durable and resistant to scratches. I appreciate the attention to detail in the design, and the magnetic closure is strong enough to keep the band securely in place throughout the day. One standout feature for me is the convenience of adjusting the band. When I'm getting ready for bed, I can easily loosen it up with one hand, and this is a game-changer for me. It's so user-friendly that I can make adjustments even when I'm half-asleep—a big plus for those late-night adjustments without fumbling around. Not only does this band look great in a casual setting, but it's also versatile enough for more formal occasions. The easy adjustability and the sleek, modern design make it a true all-around winner. In conclusion, if you're searching for the best Apple Watch band that combines style, comfort, and convenience, the Stainless Steel Mesh Band is the one to go for. I can confidently say it's worth every penny, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their Apple Watch experience.

Right out of the box I was pleasantly surprised with this band. I liked how close the starlight color of this band was to the watch. The band was light enough but still had a decent weight to it to feel like a good quality metal band. Installation of the band was very easy as most other watch bands for Apple are. I've had other metal bands before but struggled with them pulling the little hairs on my arm but this one doesn't at all. So far, the pros of the band I'd say are definitely the price point, length, comfort and similar coloring to the Apple watch. I love the fact that this band breathes when on your skin. I really dislike most silicone bands unless I'm swimming because I cannot stand the feel of the sticky skin under the band after wearing it for any amount of time. I've had none of that with this band. Another positive is the length of this band. It's one of the longer watch bands I've had that have been metal. My wrist is approximately 7" around and the end of the band where the magnet is sits only about an inch shy of reaching all the way to the other side of the watch. I felt this was necessary to note because my husband has a huge wrist (about 10.5") and has a hard time finding bands at times that don't feel tight. He was able to put this band on his watch and had zero issues. I'll definitely buy this band for his watch. Now time for the cons. In my opinion, I don't really feel there are too many negatives. The one I'd say is the most bothersome for me is the readjustment throughout the day. I am up and down with patients all day and I've noticed that the watch starts moving back and forth so then I'll tighten it up. After that, its good for several hours. This is nothing that would deter me from purchasing it, just notable that I feel the magnet could've maybe been a little stronger. Overall, I really like the band and as I said before, I will be buying one for my husband.

I like this item...great choice the color the fitness

Given that this is a watch band, there is not a great deal to say as there really are no "technology" features that interface with the end user. To begin, I paired this with my Ultra 2 Apple Watch. The band fit the watch well, but it was not as "flush" as an Apple watch band. The overlap was very minor/minimal, so it may not even be noticeable to most people and, admittedly, did not bother me much either. The color was close, but not quite an exact match for the Ultra 2 case. Again... the difference is subtle and not what I would consider to be stark, but there is a slight difference in color. As for the band itself, the metal mesh is very nice and appears to be of high quality commensurate with other comparable metal loop watch bands. The band has ample "flex" and wraps around the wrist well. It is a comfortable band. I did not have any issues with arm hairs being caught in the links either, which was an initial concern of mine that proved to be unfounded. The magnetic clasps provides significant flexibility in terms of fit and holds well, but it is not perfect (and the reason I am giving a 4-star and not a 5-star review). I am an avid runner/jogger and, as I was running with the watch, the magnetic closure would consistently "slip" and loosen the band on my wrist. At some point, the band's magnet would "settle" in a spot and not move anymore, but I prefer a snugger fit when jogging and the consistent loosening of the band on its own was annoying, especially in contrast to the running velcro band that I was using previously. For all other purposes, the band worked well and the magnet held, but when active, it had a tendency to loosen up on me. Ultimately, this watch band is less expensive than other alternatives, yet the quality, fit, and comfort of the band is all on part to a more expensive metal loop/mesh band. So long as you are not using the band with the watch for strenuous activities where the magnet would loosen up, this is a very nice and affordable option for your Ultra 2 Apple Watch.

Product will be exchanged. Person “helping” me got it all wrong and I was in tears when the gift receiver opened the gift. Was NOT what we discussed in the store before I purchased it!!! Will NEVER shop Best Buy again! Worst Bye in me opinion!!!!

The design is not ideal for arm hair gets caught every now and then and then I work on wind turbines the strap broke not even 30days out bad design

I normally wear the band that came w/ my watch until recently, and that was when I received another Insignia watch band and once I saw this one I thought I would give it a try. I sure am glad that I did. I thought this would be a change in scenery so to speak that when I wore a suit or had an important meeting I could switch bands to this Insignia Stainless Steel Mesh Band. And it looks amazing and w/ the option to have any watch face you want it was a no brainer. I love the feel of this watch, it doesn’t weigh like it looks, in other words it is very lightweight and I love how it feels on my wrist. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable due to the fact that I am used to the pin/hole version of a watch band. This Insignia band is amazing because it allows you to choose the correct size w/ its adjustable band. I love the color, it looks very sophisticated and have had several people ask when if was the original version, and most are shocked when I tell them it is an Insignia. So for the cost of this band compared to the others, I love the fact that Insignia is producing such wonderful products for a lot less, especially in the economy we are in today. It was very easy to attach to my watch and so easy to de-tach to change bands. If you want a very well made, elegant, comfortable, affordable Apple Watch band, I HIGHLY recommend this Insignia Stainless Steel mesh band.

I recently upgraded from an Apple Watch 6 series to an Ultra 2. I wanted the larger screen (for my old eyes). I haven't bothered activating the cellular service, but I don't feel I need it. The band that came with the Ultra 2 was cloth. This was an improvement over the "rubber" band that my previous watch had, but it still had an issue. Even opened as far as possible (without completely separating the band) I have to wiggle the band over my hand to put it on my wrist. Also, being fabric I suspected the band would show wear sooner than later. So, I ordered this band. First off, even though this band is metal, it is extremely light. It feels very comfortable on my wrist. Compared to the previous band, it opens to a wider opening and slips over my hand much easier. The fabric band is retained with Velcro, which has a decent life but can get gummed up with other stuff sticking to it. This band has a magnet in the end of the band, and hold firmly in place without any effort. So far I've never caught it on anything that might loosen the band. Appearance wise, this band looks "richer". I don't mean that it appears expensive, but the band just had a nicer look than a fabric band. It would fit in well with casual clothing or a tuxedo. It simply looks nice. I haven't had it long enough to determine if it will hold up as I am expecting, but initial appearance is quite good.
