Updated:After wearing the band a few weeks I would give it zero stars if possible. Totally just broke apart while I was wearing it today.The band is fine and was pretty easy to adjust the size once I figured out how (the directions aren’t super clear)—most disappointed about the color. I know things can show differently on screens than they appear but this is way off. I almost returned it because I was bummed as soon as I opened it. Just not as bright or vibrant (sort of dull and dark colors—kinda blah)

Tl;dr — Don’t buy it.So disappointed. Heed the other warnings (and mine) — the quality is just not there on this band. I wore it daily for two weeks and it just broke as I stretched it off of my wrist. Incidentally it also started smelling like mildew which is very gross. I don’t even wear this band to work out in, just around the house, but it has gotten wet a few times. Whatever the material is didn’t dry well, apparently, because it smells like an old dirty sponge. In short— find another watch band.

I purchased this strap for my Apple Watch: Series 5 (44mm). It was easy to install. It includes a tiny screwdriver to adjust the clip on the band. It is stretchy so you only adjust once and stretch over your hand. It is comfortable. I am hoping the stretchy aspect will be my comfortable when my hands swell as I was adjusting my old nylon strap all day as my wrist size changed. I was considering the version of this that did not have the adjustment but I wanted to be able to fine tune the fit in case it stretched out over time. At this point I would highly recommend. The fit is great, it doesn’t trap sweat, etc.

This band was comfortable and cute. I loved it. Then after about a week, it broke. One end of the band fell out of the closure clasp. Luckily I was sitting down when it happened and my watch fell on a desk. It looked like the woven band was just superglued into the gold closure clasp. I had to staple my band together to finish my day. Terrible quality.

I had read some of the 1 and 2-star reviews prior to purchasing and took a chance.My sense is this style of closure, with one end of the strap glued into the metal closure, has a fatal flaw. I had worn mine for less than two weeks, using other straps as well, and outside of the return window (of course) the band half came unglued from the metal. I used a good bonding glue which did work for another couple of weeks, but the band has now broken again.I think this style of closure could maybe work better if the metal end was not just glued but also crimped or something.Unfortunately I cannot recommend this band, or any other with this type of closure. It would be better to get a stretchy band that is actually sized for your wrist and isn't adjustable, to avoid the metal closure which will break.

This band is comfortable and I like the ability to adjust the fit. What I find somewhat disappointing is the quality of the elastic. It is a thinner overall band, as in not as heavy. It seems that with 3-4 wearings, it has relaxed already. Also it seems to require a more gentle handling than an Apple elastic band when changing out. It’s fine for now, but I don’t see this lasting too long.

I purchased this as my other watch bands stuck to my wrist if my arm got wet or sweaty. This band arrived with the clasp side stretched/baggy. It’s gotten worse and now baggy on the adjustable side as well. I like my watch band on the looser side so it wasn’t stretched tight during use or putting it on. It’s clasp has held up well, the gray is dark and hasn’t transferred or faded, no smell to me, it dries quickly after getting wet from washing hands, swimming and yard work. Overall I love the band but wish it held up a little longer and didn’t stretch out. I ordered in March and started wearing in May, so about 90 days. For the price it’s fair. For my next purchase I’ll probably try another brand to see if it doesn’t stretch out like this.

There is this funky rubber smell coming off from it that I just couldn’t ignore. I’m sorry to be the negative one, maybe others don’t care about the smell, but I do. I have to return it even though it does look okay.
