Cool look, but that latch!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an open box purchase and my assumption was maybe the person didn’t like how it adds weight unlike a nylon strap. So after having it on for less than a few hours it starts getting unlocked. The latch release is definitely the problem. After the second day, it was popping of more than a kindergartener’s mouth when asking “why” .

mediocre quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks great but poor quality. Mine broke apart after consistent use for 3 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSizing not consistent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had other products in this line and they fit my wrist. For this product, it would not fit over a man's hand. It was sized for smaller hands and would not fit most hands.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Appearance
Cute
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This band is cute and matched the color of my Apple Watch but hard to put on the actual watch face and bent out of shape after sometime.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Beware
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not that durable. Metal links started falling off randomly
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBad quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably ok if you’ve never worn the real apple band. This doesn’t line up with watch well and pulls all your hair out And changing link size is a pain
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWould be nice..
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I purchased this originally, I wanted to try using a steel band since the sport one is giving me a weird rash. It didn’t come with the tool to change out links.
I would recommend this to a friendThis thing not built well at all
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It tries to look nice buts it’s rigid and pulls the hair on my arm. The piece that hold the clasp digs into my wrist and it is just really uncomfortable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendClasp Opens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clasp keeps opening while watch is being worn. Love the color.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The black color comes off very easily when it scratches against it. You have to be very careful. It scratches very easy.

"open box excellent" purchase missing parts
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the black platinum stainless steel apple watch strap as "Open-Box Excellent, Looks brand new, Includes all original parts/accessories, Typically contains packaging" item purchase. When I received it today the link tool was missing so I'm not able to adjust the band so it fits me. Tried contacting Best Buy but got no reply. Very disappointed in my "open box excellent" purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot comfortable!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The band seems to tear at the hair on your arm! I like the tool included, but don’t use it because it’s uncomfortable!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendJust okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This band is okay. It's not the best quality but it looks the partnuntil it gets a little dirty. Getting the links off to fit your wrist is a pain too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCheap junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Blacks already fading on it. Any spot of it that rests on a table will show the black wearing off
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHorrible watch band
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the stainless steel watch band for 42mm iWatch and really liked in the box. It was easy to attach to watch. But, when I tried to take a link out to re-size watch band, it was impossible!! Worked on it for over 2 hours and really buggered it up. It's now all bent and useless. Directions make it sound so easy. Nothing could be more wrong. Worse product I've bought in years. Looks good but very cheap and can't adjust. Couldn't take back because I ruined it trying to re-size the band.
