This watch band provides excellent value honestly, its color is nice and sleek, the band is incredibly comfortable and isn’t prone to sweating. It’s perfect for sleeping and workouts alike, it is a great addition to my band collection. My only con is that it came exceptionally dirty and it continuously to look this way in direct light but eh, it’s fine, Nothing a wash can’t fix.

Woven design is elegant and comfortable. The 40mm band construction allows a significant amount of stretch while retaining its elasticity. Machine washable and extremely breathable. Unlike silicone band that comes standard, your wrist will not get that weird sweat ring

I was surprised at how much I actually didn't mind the stock rubberized Apple Watch band--I always found it easy to secure/open, it was color-coordinated with the case, and it cleaned up fairly easily. However, it is completely non-breathable and retained sweat in liquid form against my skin for a LONG time after even slight to moderate use, and the sizing holes were just never where I needed them--the watch always felt just a tad too tight or too lose depending on the weather. In came this stretchy Modal watch band and it was everything I could have hoped for (and it was delivered without the obscene price tag that tends to typify the cottage industry of accessories that grows up around Apple products).
I tested out this nylon watch band on a 40mm Series 6 Apple Watch. Replacement of the stock band went off without a hitch as the Modal band's ends are secured into the Apple Watch's body using the exact same hardware and fittings at the stock band. The fabric mesh material is thick, stretchy, and highly breathable; putting the watch on or taking it off only requires stretching the band a bit to fit over my wrist. The rear end of the adjustable portion of the band is attached to the backside of the metal sizing buckle by a leather-like material that ensures no harsh or jagged metal edges ever touch your skin--nice!
You can size the band before attaching it to the watch body and then dial in the fit to taste further using the sliding buckle--the buckle remains tight and secure enough that it keeps the buckle in place and the band sized as desired even after wearing the watch all day long. However, if you do stretch the band a bit for donning/doffing the watch, you might have to make minor adjustments again the next time you use it because the buckle may have slid around just slightly from the last time you took the watch off.
Note that the Modal watch band is actually a ONE-PIECE accessory with the sizing buckle captive in the middle of the band--once you attach both ends to the Apple Watch, you will not be separating the band at the buckle to get it on and off your wrist. This can make it just a little awkward to place the watch on a traditional Apple watch charger because the band will need to be scrunched up to the side to keep it out of the way of the charging pad and cable.
The only other observation is that this particular band seems to be a bit on the smaller side in terms of how much slack you have for sizing adjustments. For a guy, I do not have a very large wrist (7.25"), but I had to set the buckle for nearly the maximum size the band will accommodate to keep it from feeling uncomfortably tight. This puts the buckle very close to the edge of the watch body--a far cry from the more traditional/streamlined way it is pictured in the marketing materials where the buckle would otherwise be hidden on the backside of your wrist. Fortunately, there are no gaudy or showy branding marks and logos on the buckle, just a *very* subtle stylized "M" printed on one of the outer edges. In use, the Modal band really does feel incredibly comfortable, but those of you with massively beefy wrists may find this particular Apple Watch accessory too much of a tight squeeze.

Great Looking Band

I was using a different style band on my Apple Watch SE, and was offered the opportunity to evaluate this model.
I had seen braided nylon loop bands in pictures, but didn’t know what to expect with regard to their feel on my wrist.
I was able to get this attractive band out of the box and onto my watch in less than a minute. Band changes involve a button press and sliding each end of the band into the watch, and you can hear the band click as it is seated in the watch. Very easy.
The band is made of stretchy nylon. You adjust the loop for best fit: there is no clasp to open or close, and slide the stretchy band over your hand and onto your wrist.
The band looks and feels just great. It is comfortable and I was able to get a snug fit on my wrist. I very much like the nice, comfortable, casual look to this band, and, of course, the color is just perfect for my black SE watch. I have been able to wear it for hours without the watch drifting on my wrist and with no discomfort.
The price is right and the fit is nice. Highly recommended.

Love It - Hate It

I found the Modal Nylon watch band very comfortable even when wearing all day and night. I love that it is stretchy and does not sweat my arm or stink. The first day I wore it, I kept adjusting and readjusting to get the perfect fit for my needs and arm. Once I accomplished that I found it really easy to put on and take off without loosening the band.
I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. I loved that I did not need to take my watch off when cooking. This was a game changer for me. When making bread or doing dishes I simply had to slide my watch up my arm and it stayed there. This made answering calls and chatting or listening to podcasts or music very doable even while cooking and baking.
Although I have a love - hate relationship with this Modal Nylon Watch Band, I highly recommend it. The reason I did not give this band a five star is that it’s not perfect for my personal needs. I have some vision loss and need my watch to stay perfectly in a certain position at all times so I can see it without tugging at the watch. I don’t want anyone to know I’m looking at my watch while they are talking. This band seemed to navigate ever so slightly I found that I needed to touch the band on the side near the clasp to read the watch. I think it is because the thickness of the band interfered with my personal viewing needs. The side of the band where the clasp is located does not lay as flat. You can see what I’m talking about in my photos. I love everything else about this band.

Comfortable Braided Band

The Modal Nylon band is so much nicer than other braided bands that I have had. This is the first braided band that I have had that was adjustable. I absolutly love this band so far. The weave of the braiding is tight and is holding up very well. I have been wearing it for over a week and it has become one of my favorite bands. I plan to get a few more in other colors. This band is very comfortable, it is soft, and it is adjustable to fit different size wrists. I have never been a fan of the wrist bands that come with the apple watches because they make me sweat. This band is breathable and has not made me sweat. I have worn it in the water and it dries nicely and has not developed a smell. It was very easy to put on for the first time and it is very easy to adjust to fit your wrist. I purchased the black braided nylon band for the first watch band. I plan on buying the beige color next. I would definitly recommend this watch band for your Apple watch Series 8 38mm, 40mm 41mm.

Comfortable Apple Watch Band

I prefer fabric watch bands. The fabric Apple bands are great but expensive and I'm not a fan of their color\pattern selections. I decided to give this band a try and I'm glad I did. This band is quite comfortable for an 18 hour day but can start to irritate after that. I rarely keep my watch on more than that so it shouldn't be an issue for me.
It's an elastic band and it's a little more textured than the Apple bands. It's a simple looking band and I like that. The black color works well with the Space Gray watch. It uses a sliding buckle to adjust the band size. I have average sized wrists and there is enough adjustment for me to make the band secure. The buckle is easy enough to adjust once you figure out how it works. Once adjusted, you can just pull the watch on and off your wrist. You don't need to unbuckle the band or deal with putting a peg in a hole.
Probably the best thing about the band is it is very easy to put on and take off the watch. I have several other bands by other manufacturers and I swap bands every once in a while. Most of them are not as easy to remove as the original Apple bands. The tend to stick. I did not have that issue with this band. It is just as good as the original Apple bands.
I would recommend the band and I'll probably look at getting another one.

One of the standout features of this band is its exceptional comfort. The soft, woven nylon material feels gentle against the skin, ensuring a pleasant wearing experience throughout the day. The lightweight design is especially appreciated during workouts or extended periods of wear, as it doesn't add unnecessary bulk to the wrist.

If you have the woven style band from the official apple website like I did in the past and are wondering if it’s similar in quality, it is. Very high quality and durable, I stretch the band throughout the day as a way to fidget and it’s held up really well.

I love this band much better than the snap on ones. Fits well and absorbs sweat so it's not slipping like other bands do.
