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.

    Had such high hopes. But I have a small wrist so I had to remove multiple links. The first one no issue. But the other 3 broke ALL of the pins they included to remove the links. Ended up returning it and getting a different kind. 10/10 would not recommend.

    I bought a “new” Apple Watch series 3 band online for pickup and apparently I received an open package with a missing adjusting device. Pretty inconvenient if you ask me. Now I have to wait for the next business day to see what they tell me

    Trying to take out links is impossible to do. They give you 3 extra pins to use but I wrecked two on the first 2 links. I’m back to my old band. I do not recommend this watch band.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely horrible and I am not exaggerating. If you do anything, do not buy this watch band!!! Sizing was a nightmare and it still didn't fit my wrist (i have a typical women's sized wrist).

    Not a very good band. The workmanship is poor as there are many sharp edges, which tend to dig into your skin and make it uncomfortable.
