Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Insignia black stainless steel mesh band is both well designed and finely crafted. I chose a black stainless steel mesh band to match my 45mm midnight black Apple watch, here are my initial impressions... The stainless steel mesh band looks very elegant and classy. The black stainless steel mesh matches my apple watch’s color perfectly, the mesh is not overly glossy and it complements the midnight black of my apple watch. The end of the band has a brushed stainless steel housing over the magnet which adds a great finishing touch. The band is incredibly comfortable to wear, it feels very light, yet snug and secure. I have hairy arms and I was worried that it would tug on my arm hair, but to my surprise it doesn’t at all. I’ve used mesh watch bands in the past, my biggest problem was the band would keep loosening throughout the day. The insignia band has managed to fix this problem by adding rubber around the magnet to prevent it from sliding or loosening. In turn, my band has stayed in place all day long. The craftmanship of the band is top notch, everything is perfectly aligned and feels well put together. Overall, I am really pleased with the Insignia mesh band. The design is very stylish, and it compliments my Apple watch. The band has great craftmanship, it’s light and comfortable to wear, plus it doesn’t loosen throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has an Apple watch.

As an avid Apple Watch user, I recently upgraded to the Stainless Steel Mesh Band for my 42mm Apple Watch, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. From the moment I slipped it on, I was impressed by its sleek and sophisticated design. The silver finish perfectly complements the modern aesthetic of the Apple Watch, elevating its look to new heights. One of the standout features of this band is its comfort. The mesh design allows for breathability, preventing that uncomfortable feeling of sweat buildup during long wear periods. Whether I'm at the gym, in the office, or out for a night on the town, I can wear this band with ease and without any irritation. But it's not just about looks and comfort; this band is also incredibly durable. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and reliable, giving me confidence that it will withstand the rigors of daily wear and tear. What truly sets this band apart, though, is its versatility. It's compatible with not only the 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm Apple Watches but also the larger Apple Watch Ultra 49mm. This means I can switch it between different watch models effortlessly, making it a truly versatile accessory. Overall, I can't recommend the Stainless Steel Mesh Band enough. It's stylish, comfortable, durable, and compatible with a range of Apple Watch models. It's definitely deserving of a five-star rating.

I have always loved my Apple watch, but let's face it, the band that comes with the basic model isn't great. There are numerous options out there, but some are extremely poor quality or the prices for the OEM brand are outrageous. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Insignia offering. There simply isn't a better watch band for the price. The feel is very comfortable and I'm very confident in the durability of the band. I have the series 7 watch in the Ultra size at 49mm with the titanium casing. The OEM band is synthetic and not very nice. My wife has a similar watch, and her main complaint is with the band that comes with it. When she saw this band, her first comment was that this is a major improvement over the one she has with her watch. Don't let the original band keep you from using the watch to its full capacity. This replacement is such an incredible upgrade without breaking the bank. The titanium color is a perfect color match, and the magnetic clasp is extremely strong. If you want a nice band to compliment your Apple watch, this is a great option.

This mesh band for the apple watch from insignia is not overly complicated and does what you expect and does it well. Packaging is frustration free, open it up and slide it into the watch and off you go. I like the color tone of this particular band as it doesn't have the super shiny sparkle of the silver that you would expect. The magnetic clasp feels sturdy, after wearing it for several days in and out of the shower, rainstorms and even in the swimming pool. I never once felt like the band was going to come undone and I'd lose my watch. Depending on which way you like to clasp your watch (towards you or away from you) both ways work just fine when attaching it to the watch. It's nice they made it compatible with so many different versions too. Is it as good as the overpriced apple version of the band the answer....yes it is. I don't see any real difference between this and the overpriced apple version. If you are looking for a upscaled band to pair with your watch get the insignia brand over the apple brand and save yourself some bucks. Would recommend.

I have been extremely happy with the quality of Insignia Stainless Steel Mesh watch band in my time using it! The quality of the stainless steel is excellent, with a very strong magnet to hold the band in place. Installing the watch band is simple and easy, exactly the same as official Apple watch bands and other Insignia watch bands. I have experienced the magnet on the watch band and the magnet in the Apple Watch charger interacting and causing some issues with charging. This isn't a huge issue when I use my charging stand but did pose a problem over Mother's Day when I was visiting my mother, the watch just need a top up in the morning since it didn't charge overnight and I am now much more careful of placing the watch on the charger. This is such a small issue that I wouldn't even consider it a problem, much less remove a star from the rating. Overall, I would definitely recommend this watch band to anyone looking for a high quality watch band for their Apple Watch. I used this with my Series 7 and it looks incredible!

Insignia Stainless steel mesh band for Apple Watch. I got it for my 45mm series 7 Apple Watch I wanted something nicer then the rubber watch band it came with I used it for a while but it made me itch and my wrist would sweat wired I know, so when I seen the insignia black stainless still with magnetic closure. I loved it the style is simple was super fast and easy to put onto my watch face, you put it right n like a wrist band slip your hand through the opening the. Then pull the strap to your comfort for tightness & the magnetic tip holds it in place. I was iffy at first the magnetic closer I didn't know how strong or well it would hold but it been great haven't had any issue with it coming lose or getting stuck on anything and coming off. It's a nice shiny black small link mesh strap stylish but simple for both men and women it looks nice. Only reason I gave it four stars is I personally think it's slightly heavy for my taste for a daily watch, I expected it to be lighter in weight being that it's stainless steel boyfriend says it's not a noticeable weight difference but I have gotten use to it and completely love the style and comfort. Total worth it.

Overall a functional and good looking metal mesh watch band for the Apple watch. Fit and finish are well done and the plastic tabs that slide into the receiver mechanism of the Apple watch fit perfectly. Magnetic clasp that holds against the overlapped mesh is strong and I was not able to dislodge it when shaking my hand and arm fairly vigorously. Stylistically it's fairly common, you've seen these bands made by many manufacturers so not re-inventing the wheel here. Common notes with the mesh bands are they can potentially pull at your hairs if you wear them with a looser fit. If you wear them closer to your exact size with the adjustable closure, then this shouldn't bother you. I like to wear mine a bit looser so it's a common concern no matter which mesh band you use. Metal was fairly light and I didn't notice its weight after wearing it for a couple hours. Obviously it's not as light as a plastic or stretch band, but definitely fairly nondescript versus a full stainless steel band with links.

THIS… Is Insignia's Stainless steel mesh band, which I picked out in a dark stainless steel look. Insignia is a BestBuy brand so you can trust them to not only stand behind their products but also expect a higher quality item as well. I wanted to replace my old watchband for a few reasons, but mainly because it would pull on my arm hair and really stink at the end of the day. It stinking was worrisome because it meant it was trapping bacteria on my arm which is always gross. I enjoy the watch band being stainless steel as I work in a hospital and always have a fear of something hitching a ride on my watch since that is the hardest-to-clean item on my hand and is always coming into direct contact with my patients. Because of stainless steel's antimicrobial properties, I no longer have to worry about this. I was initially worried that the stainless steel mesh band would also tug at my arm hairs, however, I am excited that this watch band does not tug whatsoever! It also is mesh and breathable so I don’t ever get that gross sweat feeling during a workout and thanks to the loop design I can put it on quickly with one hand. I have really enjoyed swapping out bands and I enjoy how versatile the band is as I never have to worry about it being too much for casual affairs, or to little for black tie events as well. I think insignia really hit this one out of the park and is a testimony to them creating a better product for less! The best part of the whole thing is, when you buy this at Best Buy… you never have to worry about getting the wrong watchband, they have this model and several other variations as well to fit all watches and styles. Best Buy has an excellent return policy and even better customer service, so you never have to worry about buying a product that you don’t like… so why not test it out?!

I have had several different generations of Apple Watches and consequently I have also had experience with all the different types of compatible watch bands, both expensive and inexpensive. I was pleasantly surprised with this band as it is very comparable to the more expensive versions of it. The fit and feel of it is very nice against the skin; it does not chafe, feel too rigid or have any sharp edging. The installation was quick and easy—it snaps into place with no side-to-side give (I have found that other cheaply made compatible bands will move slightly back and forth and not sit snugly in place sometimes). The magnets keep the band firmly closed as they are pretty strong. The look of it is quite classy and stylish; I have a red Apple Watch which has a black bezel and this black steel mesh band looks really good paired with it! However…the band itself is too long so when I adjust it to fit snugly on my wrist, the end of it where it wraps around and magnetically sticks to close the loop—it overlaps and touches the top of the Apple Watch body, right above the start of the bezel. So when I use it I am constantly worried that it will scratch the top of the watch. I also tried wearing it higher on my wrist so that the end of it would not touch the top of the watch face, but it was just too awkward to wear it higher than I normally would on a daily basis. And by no means are my wrists super skinny; they are on the slim side, I’ll admit, but not out of the ordinary. So this watch band would have been perfect but for that too-long band. As a result, during the course of the day, it would slide off periodically or become a bit too loose and I could not get the proper readings for the various health and fitness features I specifically monitor everyday. For that reason I had to give it a rating of 4/5 stars.

I love the apple watch band. It fits and looks great!

Love the band the one it comes with it’s more for man

I purchased this as an open box at Eden Prairie MN store. When I went online it was less at Ridgedale Mall. But the new price was $39.99 at Eden Prairie and the new price at Ridgedale was $29.99. Well I had purchased the open box and exchanged it for the less expensive on at Ridgedale ... They added an additional charge to my account so I paid MORE for the open box than the NEW watch band. The manager came in and said that he would talk with the employee who did the exchange but nothing to make my purchase right.

Like the band. Only thing is difficult to adjust the band size.

great once learned all the functions. i HAVE ENJOYED READING ABOUT IT AND FINDING OUT ALL IT CAN DO FOR ME. i ESPECIALLY WANTED IT FOR MEASURING MY HEART FUNCTIONS WHEN ASLEEP.

Easy on and off looks great / easy to connect to Apple Watch

This is the best Apple Watch yet. It has a lot of cool new features.
