Metal wrist band
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy slick wrist band for I watch se 44mm looks good
I would recommend this to a friendWatch Band for iWatch 44mm
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Band is a little short for my wrist causing it to be a little difficult to put on the magnetic strap. Over all the design looks good.
I would recommend this to a friendVery comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The magnetic band makes adjusting the watch perfect.
I would recommend this to a friendCheap glue, cheap finish
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lasted almost 10 months, then the glue at the base of the longer strap gave out mid-walk and had my watch free-falling. off my arm I see several other reviews showing the same weak point/flaw. The glue on the magnet clasp also weakens, causing the oval magnet to occasionally come out when taking off the watch The black finish also started fading after ~2 months. (see attached pics)
I would recommend this to a friendBroken magnet
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did like the strength of the magnetic strap, just didn’t last as long as it should have. Got it 7 months ago, it just fell apart today. I’ve had a similar wrist strap on my Fitbit Blaze and it’s still operable after 7 years.

- Cons mentioned:Magnet
Horrible!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mesh wristband frays easily and snags on sleeves. Also magnetic clasp is a nuisance as it is difficult to push through the end through the clasp without the magnet wanting to stick to the band before you want it to. You will also find your wrist sticking to any metallic table.

Only lasted 17 days!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a replacement for the rubber watch straps that came with my Apple Watch. At first it felt nice and looked good, but a little after 2 weeks the magnet came off the strap. Will be switching to the link one instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Broke My Apple Watch
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The material feels premium but, it is slippery. When I wanted to take off my watch, I lost my grip and my watch feel on the bathroom floor. Now I have a broken Apple Watch. Also the band will grip your wrist hair. Not a good feeling at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUnsealed and Clearly Heavily Used
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The box came unsealed and the band was clearly used heavily, with the rose color having worn off on most of it. It's disappointing that Best Buy is sending out used/returned merchandise without inspecting it, I don't think I'll be buying anything here online anymore. I should mention this was meant to be a gift, so it was my fiance that got the surprise of getting clearly used merchandise.

Very cheaply made
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not maintain black finish. I bought it to replace my original iWatch 6 band but this black mesh band is Very cheaply made. Very hard to slip on without having to separate it from the other slide. Slips on arm while wearing it. This band is an imposter to the original iWatch mesh band on the first generation iWatch. I know because my original iWatch has the mesh band. On this new iWatch I returned to wearing the original iWatch band that is on my iWatch 6.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendThis watch band will cause you to ruin your watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not EVER buy this watch band. The magnetic end slips through the bracelet, unlike the better apple watch band that does not let the magnet through the metal loop at the end of the bracelet. Hard to describe, you just have to see it. This caused the watch to fall to the floor and SHATTER the crystal. Beautiful band, ruined watch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendThe paint wears off on the magnetic buckle
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use a Macbook Pro, and the watch band's paint hasn't held up very well. So, I'm already looking for a replacement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor Quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this band as a gift and it didn’t even last 5 months. The band discontinued from the Apple Watch conector. Very disappointed since it was not a cheap band but apparently it’s very cheap quality. The one star is for the color of the band.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt Broke
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the band in November and the band has pulled loose from the end that connects to the watch. From what I have learned in reading other reviews, this is not uncommon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNever buy "open box" in Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not a review for the product, but the "best buy open box policy." I purchased "open box excellent" condition, but "damaged and missing piece" arrived. I am not able to use this one because there is only one part arrived.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendJunk and the company won’t do anything to help
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this piece of junk to anyone this is the third one purchased and everyone of them broke in the same spot
