Customer Ratings & Reviews

Summary: Ten months after purchase, my Milanese Loop has corroded at the magnet/rubberized end to the point that it fell apart. I purchased it separately from my watch so there is no warranty. After contacting Apple Support I was told my only option was to purchase a new one. ------------ Details: Purchased my Milanese Loop at the end of January 2017. The first week of November 2017 I noticed the band slipping resulting in a too loose feel. Upon close observation, it was revealed that a corrosion bubble that developed inside by the magnet grew to push the panel seal out ahead of the rubber ring causing the ring to slip. While I'm a healthy active middle-aged man, my watchband has never been subjected to swimming pools, baths, nor showers. I have worn it to the gym, but my perspiration is not excessive. I wear it every day, which can include days of yard work or home repair projects on the weekends. ------------ Final Thoughts: This is an elegant watchband that is very comfortable especially for a metal band, which are two of the several reasons why I purchased it. At the same time, the build standard for my particular watchband, which has not lasted 10 months, is less than what I've come to expect from Apple products in my 30 years as a loyal customer. Mine may be an anomaly, so weigh this as you see fit.

The best of watch strips that fits and matches all my dressing

This band looks great, stays in place and is easy to change. I switch between a sport band and this band depending on the look I want to employ. This band does not pinch or pull hair like other bands tend to do. The one negative is the price, but it seems to be durable.

The fine craftmanship from Apple is astonishing in a band that is clearly not their primary market space! I'll never purchase another after-market band again as the one I have is such a poor fit in comparison. The precision machining on the fit and finish of the Apple band is incredible. The precise fit into the watch is the Goldielocks story. Not too tight, not too loose, it's absolutly perfect every time and makes it easier to switch out bands even multiple times per day.

I bought this for my husband. He has the apple sport watch. This band takes the look of the watch to a more professional level. It looks great, it's light weight and it is great quality.

This band looks professional and is very comfortable! Great quality!

This is probably one of the sharpest looking bands offered for the Apple Watch. The magnet is amazingly strong and for normal daly wear its perfect. However, if your using your watch for fitness tracking (intense cardio or crossfit) this band may not work for you. It will loosen some when working out and can make heart rate monitoring less accurate than it should be. If your workouts are limited to bike, treadmill, stepper you'll be fine. For all other activities that cause more dramatic hand motion I would suggest choosing a traditional band that locks in place.

I purchased the Milanese Loop watch band for my wife. It is very easy to install. Beautifully designed and comfortable to wear. It makes the watch look classy.

This band feels amazing on the wrist. The level of detail apple has put into the manufacturing of the milanese loop is quite impressive! Though the price is rather premium, it is worth the investment especially since the watch won't come undone and fall to the ground with thanks to the magnet.

I replaced the sport band on my watch with the Milanese Loop and I am very happy with the appearance, comfort, and ease of use. It looks great and functions perfectly. I'm very happy I chose this one over the imitators.

Added this to my stainless steel apple watch and it feels perfect. Fit is perfect as expected from Apple. Price is little high for a watch strap but you wont be disapointed with the look

Love this band, it looks great but is also extremely easy to use and accommodates to any wrist size effortlessly. Must have if you own an Apple Watch

Purchased this for my husband who works in construction. So far it has held up great! He likes how secure it feels!

Milanese loop makes the Apple Watch look beautiful. It is sleek, light, and luxurious look for those who want to wear the watch outside of the sporty look.

This band for the Apple watch is amazing! The quality is very high and the magnetic closure is very very strong! You can adjust the band easily and it holds tight. The band definitely "feels" high quality and the case it comes in is also quality material. My only issue is sometimes it feels uncomfortable when wearing for long periods but it's probably just me as I haven't worn a watch in years and typically do not wear jewelry for extended periods either!

"NEEDEDLESS TO SAY" THAT THE THE APPLE WATCH I PURCHASED WAS ALREADY A NICE PIECE AND CAME WITH THE SPORTS BAND...BUT I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO TAKE MY INVESTMENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND THIS ITEM DID JUST THAT. THE MILANESE LOOP STAINLESS STEEL BAND MADE THIS WATCH WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO BE THE FUTURE OF WATCHES...CLASSY LOOKING... EXPENSIVE UNLESS YOU BOUGHT IT FROM BEST BUY WITH THE $100.00 OFF DURING THE HOLIDAYS LIKE I DID...GREAT FOR ALL ACCESSIONS, I DON'T EVEN WEAR THE SPORTS BAND ANYMORE.THIS ITEM IS A MUST HAVE TO GET THAT TRUE APPLE WATCH FEEL AND QUALITY.

I had heard this watchband was available but I hadn't found it. Then one day, perusing other items at Best Buy, there it was! It is much more attractive than the plastic bands. It is, however, not made for very small wrists. Even with the band tightened as far as it can go, it is a little too loose. I have had it for about a month and am starting to see discoloration on the section nearest my skin, and no...it's not dirt. ;-). I plan on putting it in jewelry cleaner and seeing if it removes the discoloration. Overall, I like this watchband and would buy it again.

This is probably a 2.5 star product, but I always round up. Pros: It looks good. Easy to install. Not too expensive. Cons: It's a little thin and almost feels flimsy. The magnet started losing is grip after a week. It's not that it's becoming detached. More like I have to tighten it numerous times throughout the day.

Fits wrist and watch well. Magnet is very strong and has yet to loosen on me while wearing.

Simply the best Apple Watch band! Looks good, largest band for big wrists, most comfortable, and everyone likes the style of it!
