Customers are saying

Customers value the quality, color, ease of use, style, fit, and appearance of the Link Stainless Steel Band for Apple Watch™ 38mm. Many appreciate its attractive look and how easily it adjusts to fit. However, some customers have experienced issues with the clasp opening unexpectedly and find the band to be heavier than anticipated. Difficulty removing links for sizing was also noted by a few users.

    After a few wears..the rose gold color started coming off and adjusting the band for my wrist was a task. Long story short I am back to my original band and have found one I like better since purchasing this item.

    The band is nice but after a couple months it tends to fall apart. The rods that hold the links start coming out and snag clothes. You have to constantly make sure its pushed back in. I’ve used the tool that comes with the band to push in the rod and that still doesn’t fix the issue. It isn’t worth the price which is disappointing because it is a nice band and for the price I’d expect more.

    Not very good! My wife had it 11 days and the paint had wore off. I called customer service and they offered a replacement but I had to drive an hour each way to the store to get another one that would probably do the same thing so we just kept it. Definitely not worth the money.

    It is difficult to put on and sometimes it doesn’t respond to the touch, especially the corners of the watch face.

    Sales person told me that watch band was gold in color vs pink gold, since I could not open package in store?

    Got this one for myself after getting the platinum 42mm for my husband. He loves his. Unfortunately after removing the links I could not make the band small enough for my wrist.

    Item arrived in a timely fashion. Excited to have a real watchband for my Apple Watch instead of the rubber ones. The watchband was supposed to include a tool for removing some links and some extra pins. Nope, nothing. Very disappointed. I purchased with reward points, so Best Buy will not refund my points to use on a different purchase.

    The tool for removing links breaks easily. Looks good on box, not sure how it would look on my wife’s arm. Couldn’t make band small enough.

    The adjuster tool broke as soon as I tried to use it, so I couldn’t remove any links. It’s an extra big band for being a 38 mm.

    Does not match the Gold apple watch 3. Gold apple watches are almost a rose gold color. This band is too light for it.
