UAG - Active Nylon Watch Strap for Apple Watch® 42mm and 44mm - Black

I find the Apple Watch amazing, but making it look masculine is a bit of a issue. This band does exactly that. For a everyday use and with my defense watch case it looks great! For former events not so much, but for everyday whatever stuff it’s the best. Not really the band you want if you wear a suit to work.. for that don’t be cheap and get you a Gucci band.

I wish that I would have purchased this band in the first place. But I bought another product that broke the first week.Also purchased the protective bumper called the Xdono defense. Both are great and protect my watch nicely.

This is an excellent sport strap for the outdoors person! I am an avid hiker/landscape photographer and this strap meets all of my needs. The Velcro is strong and holds fantastically. The strap material is durable and stands up to anything that has been thrown at it! Plus, it goes on and off super easy, which for me it a huge thing. I hated fussing with the stock strap that came with my watch. Awesome product UAG!

The band is well made and fits around my wrist with no problem. The large metal piece on the band sits right on your wrist bone. The metal piece should be under your wrist to avoid an injury to your wrist bone in case you fall down. The length of the band is fine for my wrist size pics).

One day. That's how long it took to break. The pin holding the metal bracket to the strap snapped in about 8 hours. I walked to Best Buy to pick it up and on my way home tossed the box and receipt so I figured it would be a hassle to return. But while I had it I was a little annoyed at how large the metal piece was. What's it called? It's not technically a buckle but that's what I'll call it for the purposes of this review. Anyway, the buckle is unnecessarily bulky and heavy. Heavy enough that the watch has a tendency to rotate to that side. It's no wonder the images in the other reviews all showed it strapped really tight. It has to be to keep in place. It was also uncomfortable on my wrist bone. Other than the buckle I like the strap and had already planned on fabricating a better buckle. So, I made one out of bailing wire and now it's WAY more comfortable and stays in place without having to strap it down so tightly.

It works better then then watch band then came with my Apple Watch. It is feels more comfortable and not moving around. It is adjustable. It looks great too! I would recommend this to anyone.

Almost returned. What I recommend is inverting the metal buckle shown on the top of the band to the underside. After doing that I actually like this band much better. Works and feels better on the wrist in this configuration, at least in my opinion and for me it does. See attached photo.

I replaced the original Apple Band with this one. I’m totally happy. This new band is confortable, looks nice and is not expensive.
