    Platinum watch band

    This band was super easy to ad links to fit my wrist. I bought it because I think it enhances the overall look and distinguishes it from looking like every other Apple Watch out there. I also like the functionality of being able to put my watch on my wrist and quickly locking the latch in place and not fiddling around finding the correct hole on the standard Apple band. It is very comfortable to wear. Highly recommended.

    I had to replace the strap of my son’s Apple Watch and decided to get this stainless steel strap this time. This suits his personality better since he is now a young adult. The look is great and so easy to replace on the watch. Will highly recommend.

    I love this band for special occasions. The gaps between the bands do yank on my wrist hairs, but you get used to it. The material is definitely long lasting.

    Read a lot of reviews before buying this. I like it. The clasp can open up if you wear it snug and then bend your wrist inward(like scratching your armpit lol). It doesn’t bother me when it happens because I can feel it. The watch has never fallen all the way off. The paint will slowly rub away if rubbed on a desktop constantly but not too noticeable being on the inside of the wrist. Those things I read on other reviews as well. I still like it better than the original band and have received compliments on the look. It’s comfortable too if you are used to wearing a metal band watch

    Couldn’t stand the feeling of the rubber silicone band that came with my Apple Watch- this is durable and classy - a bit heavy and sometimes hard to close

    Good weight to it. Feels very sturdy and durable. Have had it for a little while now, and it seems to hold up well. I like the dual opening clasps as well. Different than previous watch closures I have had in the past.

    This band does not eat up my sweater like other stainless. Looks great with my Silver Apple Watch 3. I wear it every day except when I am working out at the gym.

    I found this to be a good deal as an open box purchase. It looks great and complements my steel case Apple Watch. However, it is rather heavy and uncomfortable on the wrist. The edges of the bracelet are not as smooth as one would hope for everyday use. You definitely know its there. The pin removal tool used to add or remove links broke during my first use. That said, used intermittently, it looks great to complete a more formal look.

    Got this as a replacement for the sport band and it fits so nicely and looks great. My only complaint that will not take away from the score is the tool they give to remove or add links is very cheap. I broke all the bits that it comes with.

    Initially hesitant about this band because it’s not my usual style. Not a second thought since I put it on. Takes some mild abuse and still looks fantastic. Easy take on and off. Not that stretchy kind. Excellent purchase.

    I’m very happy with this band. It feels nice and sturdy. I have fairly hairy arms, so metal bands can be painful sometimes, but this is pretty well designed and doesn’t catch my hair often. Adjusting the band size was quick and easy.

    This watchband looks really nice with my watch. Better than that, it was substantially cheaper than the crazy expensive one sold by Apple. It’s lasted me a long time now and it still looks nice.

    Watch band came within a week. Both great looking and high quality. Packaged nicely and came with tool to easily remove links to fit you wrist. Got the black stainless steel band also. Both look great on the watch

    Gives the watch a good look, but the clasp could be a bit sensitive. I had to resize it but never had an issue like prior comments. Over all good buy

    Classy watch

    I had been looking at this for a long time because I like metal bands instead of rubber or leather for my watches. Finally asked my wife for it for Christmas. It was easy to install and adjust. It looks great. I’ve worn it several times since Christmas and its holding up fine. My only issue is that it’s very lite. It doesn’t have the same weight of my other watches with metal bands. I guess it was only $40. But maybe that’s a good thing seeing that it’s for a smart sports watch. Overall I’m very happy with it.

    Decent quality, clasp works well. I easily removed three links with the supplied tool. Looks fancier than the stock strap and easier to don/doff.
