    Got it for the lady wife. She has problems wearing things on her wrists but reports, with this band, she forgets she is wearing her Apple Watch 42mm. Looks quite stylish.

    Nice band but not for large wrists

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This band seems to be well constructed but the size is “fits most” which might be for a mass group of men under 6 6 foot tall or so. I’m 6’2”, 215 and it would not fit over my hand, let alone my wrist. It’s a decent band and I like the look and the latch but sadly it’s going back.

    Matte Gold Finish Rubs Off

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    At first I really liked this band I liked the weight and feel of it but after having it for not even a week the matte gold finish has started rubbing off and scratching after normal use. I thought that for the price it would be higher quality than the bands from Amazon Prime that are half the price but it turns out it is just as cheaply made.

    Supplied tool did not work to remove links

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The watch band in itself looked really nice. However, as stated in subject, the supplied tool to remove links did not seem to match the instructions...I could not put the pin into the tool to then use it to remove links. I looked at it for a while, and tried to find any youtube videos showing the actual product. I figured there was a defect in the tool. However, I found no support. I also tried to call Best Buy geek squad but they told me to call some other time, that no one was available for phone call. Therefore, it is going back to the Best Buy for refund tomorrow. The included Apple Watch band is just fine for now.

    Platinum™ Apple watch band is worthless

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought one of these and tried to adjust the watch band using the supplied tool to remove links. The pin in the tool broke off, so I went back to Best Buy and exchanged for another tool (they wanted me to swap the tool along with the watch band even though the watch band seemed OK, but that's another story). At any rate, the pin in the new tool broke too. A total waste of 40 bucks.

    Cannot Recommend

    Like many other reviews have covered, the pin removal tool bends and breaks. I went through all three available pin extractors to remove 1 pin. I'll be returning the band tomorrow.

    Can't Even Adjust

    Absolute junk. If you need to adjust your wristband, don't even purchase this because it's impossible to get the stupid pins out.
