    Unlatches constantly

    It’s a nice band if you don’t bend your wrist. If you bend you wrist to far the band constantly comes unlatched. This problem has started occurring about 1 month in, and unfortunately for me, the return period has ended and I am stuck with it now. I would not recommend this band.

    Not enough links in the band.

    I’d say it is a nice band, looks real good, would really like to use it, but it doesn’t come with extra links. So it doesn’t fit. I’m already a big guy but normal watches with bands similar to things have always fit and I usually need to remove links, but this one is just way too small. And I have the largest watch face to boot.

    The tool given to remove the links broke upon first trial usage. Thus, my watch it too big on my wrist and it’s pretty inconvenient.

    The watch band was very heavy and pinched my wrist through out the day. I wasn't very comfortable and i stopped wearing it after a few days.

    Bought this band thinking it would expand and be more comfortable. It feels heavy and does not expand. I don’t wear it.

    bought at the store with my mystery certificate. when i got home to install, i noticed the metal was very light, almost plastic-like. after installing, i tried putting the watch on and noticed that 2 links seized and would not hug around my wrist. i had to return it and i didnt trust the product enough for an exchange, which meant i wasted my best buy mystery certificate.

    The little metal piece broke off inside the place where the band goes. We had to call Apple Care and then take it to Best Buy to be fixed. Did not get to replace it or get money back. Very disappointing.

    Poor craftsmanship

    "You get what you pay for" applies here. The links have spaces between them and the clamp is uncomfortable - it has a lump that presses against your wrist unlike the genuine Apple design. I returned it same day. Plus, Best Buy sent me an opened product with missing link adjuster tool. I buy new I expect new. Shows how much the employee who mailed it cared!
