Customers are positive about the quality, fit, style, ease of use, and appearance of the Chain Link Band for Apple Watch 38mm, with many praising its classy look and how well it complements the watch. However, customers are negative about the color, noting inconsistencies and a lighter-than-expected shade, and some find the band to be heavy. A few customers also mentioned challenges with removing links to adjust the band's size. Overall, the positive feedback on style and fit outweighs the concerns about weight and color.

I purchased this band as I wanted one with a bit more substance than the silicone band that came with the sports watch. I was surprised at how well the band matched my rose gold watch. It was very easy to exchange the bands. I also like how easy it is to open the band with just a click. I am very pleased with my purchase

My wife wanted this watch band and had looked for them on line as well. We bought it at Best Buy and she is constantly getting compliments on it.

After reading the reviews I was somewhat nervous to make this purchase, but it was on sale so I went for it. It was a great decision!
The watch band comes with a tool to remove the links and instructions on how to do it. It didn't take me much time and I only had to remove 2 to get it to how I like it.
The watch band doesn't match the rose gold Apple Watch exactly, but I knew that and I like that look.
Overall, great band and for $19.99, it was a great purchase for me!

This gold Platinum band was the perfect match for the aluminum gold Apple Watch, and it makes the smart watch almost look like a Michael Kors time piece.

I believe the Iwatch is for causal active people but when you add the rose line band with the watch, it turns into an elegant watch you can wear on a night out. I didnt buy this band for myself it was for my husband who loves it .

I bought this when I upgraded to the new rose gold iPhone. I thought it would be a great way to match my Apple Watch with my phone, and give my watch a classier look for work. I loved this band when I first got it! It was so easy to take out links and put on. I wore it consistently for a week and noticed that the color is coming off. It's a base metal underneath the color that is NOT pretty. I'm disappointed and find myself not wearing it anymore. I feel as if it's more for light use than everyday wear.

I found a case for my black Apple Sports Watch, then set out to find a band that matched it. The band was very easy to put on my watch. It was also easy to remove four links to make my Watch fit perfectly. This band is perfect. I get compliments galore about my watch.

I took one link out. That was not enough. Took the second link out. That was too tight. Most link bands have a pin that adjusts the latch in small amounts. This band does not.

Not matte gold but rather Champagne Gold. Slightly different than the brushed gold aluminum case. Light weight. Very well made and secure. Adjustable. It comes with a tool to remove pins on links. (Mine was bent which made it more difficult but it did work.) Ability to remove up to 6 links. I have searched for a band that would adjust small enough. This one did after removing 5 links. Very pleased!!

Perfect for gold and navy Apple Watch. It is not rose gold! I've gotten so many compliments with this dressed up band. It was slightly wearisome to removed links but directions are right on so just have good light and take your time. Should be able to do both sides in less than 10 minutes total time. Also take time when sliding into place on Apple Watch. It's not a smooth slide like apple bands.

I was very leery to purchase a knock off band that wasn’t made by Apple for my beloved Apple Watch. This band looks great and works well with my watch. I get so many compliments, for the fraction of the cost. I’ve had it for over a year now and it still looks great and attaches without any issues. Removing or adding links for a proper fit is very easy with the tools that are included too!

I bought my second Apple Watch for a little dressier look than my space grey with the woven band. This band does that for my new gold Apple watch. It matches perfectly, and is easy to take off and put on. This came with a little tool to remove links which was a huge selling point because I have small wrists and that made it easy to obtain a perfect fit.

For the price this is a really nice band. The size can easily be changed to fit a range of wrist sizes. It feels nice on my wrist and looks great. Works well for formal occasions or someone who doesn't workout with the watch on much. It does seem to collect sweat easily when working out in, would not recommend running with this band on.

I wasn't sure this star would be easy to wear, thought it would be heavy & clunky. I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight, comfortable, but durable it is.

The gold is more of a brown/gold which I love! Matches the gold Apple watch perfectly. I don't like a "yellow" gold, they tend to look cheap. This watch band looks expensive.
My BIGGEST complaint is the clasp design. It tends to open easily while you're wearing it! If you bump it just right it comes open. I'm keeping it because I love the color/style enough to offset this annoyance.
I did buy a second one just to make sure it wasn't a defective clasp, but it wasn't. It's a poor design.
