    Nice Band but Small

    It's a nice looking band. But, the band is a bit short for sliding over my hand. Look for another option if you have large hands.

    Band Snags on Clothing

    This band looks really nice but it snagged on all of my clothing and the magnets connecting it to the watch kept falling off. I returned for a new one but it did the same thing.

    Bad for small wrists, snags clothes

    This isn’t terrible for everyone, but I have a small wrist, but an Apple watch needs to be snug. I have to fold it over and it often loosens and forces me to enter the watch password again. The other thing I hate is it snags clothes and blankets and furniture. It ruined a good shirt. I have to buy one from Apple, even though theirs stretches eventually. At least they have bans that are sized and don’t snag.

    Bought the item slightly discounted and it was okay for the time I had it. Unfortunately the strap began to detach from the hinge that attaches to the watch and so I returned it. Luckily it was still within my return window.

    Not great quality. The “rose gold” is a shade of pink and the paint rubs off where the magnet rubs against it. I bought this open box and I can see why it was returned.

    It pulls my arm hairs and the paint started to wear off. It's an ok alternative for the Apple band but I recommend shaving your arms if planning on using this.

    I bought this because Best Buy didn’t have the apple Milanese loop and that was what I really wanted. For some reason I am not crazy about how it looks on my wrist. I wish it was thicker/beefier. It looks so fragile.

    I like the magnetic band except the black finish is wearing off. I have only been wearing it for a couple of weeks. Thought it would be more durable.

    The band is WAY TOO SHORT to wrap around the wrist. This might be a manufacturing problem. Product seems okay, but should be removed from the shelves.

    One of the impulse buying that went wrong. The quality is not worth the money. The magnet scrapes off the black paint and shows the metal underneath.

    Purchased this band. Overall, looks nice. However, over a period of 2 weeks of wearing, the black coating on the band has worn off where the magnet secures the band.

    This is an ok product but the quality could be better. I had part of the finish peel off on the first day. Unfortunately I threw the box away before I detected it.
