    I bought this watch band for my daughter and the band looked great at first. Unfortunately she was only able to wear it for about two weeks before she had to replace it. Anything it rubs against will leave a mark.

    Terrible purchase, one month in and the rose gold finish is peeling off. It has been treated well and not exposed to anything out of the ordinary, And not worn in shower or pool.

    I was sent very bad quality strap and seems to be used one. Not sure if someone is reviewing the quality before dispatching.

    Great quality product! Sharp looks, included tool for removing pins to adjust length, doesn’t snag arm hair, easy to use latch. I use it when I want something classy looking versus my black sport band. I have the polished aluminum Sport model and the band matches the color of the watch very, very closely. They go great together.

    I love this band for my Apple Watch, it's great for a dressier look. It's pretty easy to remove links for an better fit. The only thing I don't love is ive noticed the finish is scratched off a little after wearing for about a month.

    I love this band and the color. It fits well and it’s nice and classy. The only problem I had is with the band adjuster that you use to remove links. If it’s not lined up accurately you can easily break the little pin that’s attached, other than that it’s a nice quality band.

    This is the first band I buy that isn’t from Apple. It fits nice and comes with a tool so you can adjust it. It is a little heavier than I expected but it feels comfortable on the wrist overall.

    Replace the band on your 38mm Apple Watch with this Platinum smart watch band. It's made of stainless steel for durability and is fully adjustable to accommodate a variety of wrist sizes for a comfortable fit. The sleek rose gold color of this Platinum smart watch band provides a fashionable finishing touch.

    This is a beautiful watch band, especially for the price (I only paid $20). It was easy to adjust the size with the tools enclosed. My biggest problem is that I can’t get it to fit my wrist properly. With the difference of only 1 link, it is either much too tight and hurts, or it is very loose and flops all over my arm. In defense of the band, I have very small wrists and have always had difficulty getting “non buckle” bands to fit properly

    This is a great band for this watch. Looks great and feels good. The Geek Squad put it on for me and took out 3 links. I really appreciated that.

    I received an Apple Watch for Christmas several plus years ago. I absolutely love it. I wore it all the time and got so many compliments and questions everywhere I went. As the years faded so did the watch and I discontinued wearing it. Recently I tried to resynchronize the watch to my computer and voila-just like new. I got this new fabulous strap for it and I love it more than ever. It is casual and classy and once again I wear it everyday. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

    This was an open box purchase. When I receive it, the tool to remove extra links was broken. Luckily, my husband was able to remove the links I needed. When I first started wearing it, I thought it was heavy, but it looks nice so I continued to wear it. After a while, this band became very comfortable. I like this band a lot and I wear it everyday! Well worth the money!

    I like this band, as the rose gold seems to match the rose of the Apple Watch better than some I’ve seen. It’s been a nice durable band. I’ve had it about eight months now and it is showing wear, but that’s not bad since I wear this watch all day, every day, while working, exercising- everything.

    The band is extremely comfortable and very stylish, however it loses it color finish in places. I have only had it about 2 months, and it has several spots of finish missing. It is not a huge deal but I now know to maybe not wear it as an every day band. Definitely worth the money.
