1. save $100 over Apple Milanese loop
2. the double over portion sits close to the point near where a clasp would be located
3.sits flush and doesn't impede typing
4. no tarnishing or color changes as seen on cheaper dupes,
5. Strong magnet for decreased slippage
6. Allows the skin to breath
The only negative may be unique to me, I have a 7.0-inch wrist and I wear my watch upside down and behind the wrist bone (or the beginning of the forearm). Therefore, I wish the strap was an inch or so longer. This may be an issue for those with larger wrists as well.
great product!!!

I was looking to an Apple Watch band that wouldn’t pull my long arm hairs, I’ve tried rubber-y ones and they pull my hair, I don’t like the look of cloth like ones so I was hesitantly going to try a metal one. I didn’t have high expectations due to wearing similar material bracelets and having them pull my hair. I am so so pleasantly pleased when putting this on! It fit perfectly, looks cute, almost robotic like and DOESN'T PULL MY HAIR! So so impressed! It’s affordable, functional and cute! I will be buying it in different colors and recommending.

I’ve had this watch band for a little over a year now. I wear the watch every day and usually to bed. The band is lightweight and comfortable.
By now it has some discoloration to the band. The magnet is still just as strong as day one. I just now feel the need to replace the band due to the black fading on the band.
In my opinion this band will last year 1 - 2 years if you care about the aesthetic. If that isn’t too important. I’m sure the magnet and the band itself will last well over 5 years.

High quality, no smell, Large enought for my wrist. (About 9.5 in)
The paint is still intact through sweat and water, the clasp is magnetic so where it closes you can see the paint shows a bit of wear but very minute and can’t be seen easily as it has to be at an angle and it’s covered as it is where it closes.
One thing is that it is magnetic so to close it requires a bit of finger precision, with practice you’ll get it.

The look, feel, and design of this watch is exactly what I was looking for. The only problem is that I have only owned this watch band for 2 weeks and the place on the band that the magnet touches is already fading to sliver. Hopefully this stay localized to this area, as it is covered by the magnet. Otherwise, I completely recommend this product.

I got this instead of the $150 Apple beaded original. This is easily as nice. It works perfectly, is very comfortable on the wrist and looks stunning even with the aluminum Apple Watches. Best Buy app is showing I returned this, but that’s not accurate. I returned a different strap.

I LOVE this band. I actually like it much better than the ones from Apple and that's before you even look at the price difference! This band compares with the Milense at 1/5 (20%) the price. I can get 5 different bands for the price of one Apple band!
The magnet clasp is super strong. It's fairly easy to remove it from it's "loop" though it could be easier. It's definitely not a deal breaker. I've got the Stainless Steel 44mm graphite color watch and this band matches it perfectly! I'm extremely impressed with it.
I like it so much, I'm actually thinking of getting a couple more but in different colors (like silver or red) for some contrast to go with my mood/look for the day.

The watch band is sophisticated yet simple. It looks great! Very easy to install and gives great style.
I would recommend this band to anyone that wants to wear something casual and have a stylish finish.
The band has a strong magnet that keeps watch firm on wrist.

Looks nice with Apple Watch. Easy to adjust. My only negative would be since the magnetic clasp is very strong you do stick to metal objects like the top of your dryer when pulling out clothes or a metal hand railing.

It’s certainly a very “smart” looking watch band. It also is secure, yet will let go if it were caught (yanked) such that it wouldn’t break, only release. The magnetic interference of the compass may be minimal; yet possibly its sole drawback…unless you consider the “black” color will appear scratched when it is in contract with abrasive material; easily. Yet, it is great overall and I do recommend it.

I’ve had the silver band for a few weeks now and no complaints. It’s on par with the Apple brand version of the same type band. Plus it looks really good with the silver stainless watch.

This band is a great cheaper alternative to the apple magnetic mesh watch band. I have very small wrists and it still fits perfectly. The magnet is really strong and doesn’t loosen on its own. Great quality, super comfy. If you’re interested in the apple magnet mesh band but the price turns you away, I would 100% recommend this one.

The watch band works extremely well! Very pleased with the adjustability of the product! i'm an active person so my issue with other watch bands is they are either too tight or two loose. This product eliminates that issue for me.

The magnet allows me to customize the size to my wrist, and the metal is durable enough to hold up to hard hits and scratches at work. I bought this to replace my old one when I upgraded my Apple Watch, and I’ll definitely be getting another if I get a new watch.
