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

    Im very disappointed with Apple and this watch. It keeps disconnecting to my watch. Yes all the updates are done to both the watch and my iPhone 12. If I pay this much money then I expect it to work like it should. Too late to get my money back! Dont buy it, get the cellular one if you have to have one!

    I am returning the Platinum Stainless Steel link band I purchased. I rate the band 5 stars. But the tool to remove the links is a dud. The pin in the tool broke. Unfortunately I could not insert a replacement pin.

    "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!

    Unless you get adjusted for your wrist, you will have tough time adjusting it yourself.

    Besides paint fading, if you move your wrist in a 90 degree position it opens and might get lost

    This band is fairly inexpensive but comes with some flaws. The finish wears off very quickly with normal use. Secondly, but most critical, the band came disconnected from the watch by moving my arm. Unfortunately, my watch fell to the ground and I now have a scratch on the case. Poor design if this can occur. I want the manufacturer to cover my watch damage.

    The band unlinks every time I bend my wrist. Put on a shirt it unlocks, open a door it unlocks, eat a meal it unlocks.

    Unfortunately the release for the band sticks out beyond the edge. So if you bend your wrist enough to put a little pressure on it, which I did constantly, the band pops open. The Apple version they are copying doesn't have the release buttons sticking out beyond the edge of the band, so it would probably be fine.

    Supposedly, this was an excellent condition open box. It turned out to be a floor model, which was fine, but was worn on multiple links. Was also missing tool to remove links. I returned it.
