I used to own the $99 official Apple Watch Braided Solo Loop, and it was excellent until it began to stretch out to where it kept on sliding down my wrist. Instead of shelling out on a new official band, I decided to try this third party one. Upon wearing it for the first time, I was genuinely surprised by how similar it felt to to the original one. The braided material is stretchy and breathable, but form fitting. I would advise you to go two sizes down as they will eventually stretch out. It will be a bit snug at first, but it will loosen to a nice fit. The only downside so far is that the lugs are slightly loose. It’s not a big deal, but I hope it will hold up well on the watch overtime. Overall, I am happy for the price I paid, and I would recommend it.I have had a really hard time finding a loop stretch band that fits my 6 inch wrist without being too big or too small. If you have a small wrist, the extra small fits perfectly. Please note, if you get these wet or ever wash them and lay them flat to dry, they stretch out slightly and don’t fit the same afterwards. If you are constantly getting your band wet, I recommend getting one of the silicone sport bands instead.According to the size chart, I need a size 12. Since I already have an Apple band like this in 10, I ordered 10 and it fit perfectly. However, it stretched out after a couple months (just like the Apple version) so I ordered another in size 9 and it is a tad too snug now, but it will undoubtedly stretch out. I really like this style of band because it is comfortable and easy to put on and take off. I like this version because it is many $$ less than the Apple version. I just wish they could make it so it doesn’t stretch out.I got one of these in the size that they recommended for my wrist and it seemed perfect at first but then it started getting loose after a few months. Then after I washed it the first time it got very loose and was almost unwearable. I liked it so much that I decided to order another one since it was so inexpensive. I double checked my wrist size and their size chart just to make sure I didn’t goof the last time and it still said I needed a size 6 so I ordered the size 5 instead. The new one fits perfect and has not stretched out like the last one. I am very happy with it now. Just wish I didn’t have to pay for two of them to get one that worked right.I bought these for my husband, and I. We did the measurements, and got the exact size. He got his first, and then mine was on the way. However his was loose, and per the other reviews it says to size down. I instantly returned both, and sized down one. I got my smaller size now and it works perfect! Not sure if it’s machine washable but based on the fabric it’s made with it should be.I had this watch band for 6 months and only wore it once a month because I rotate them so I can wash them. The red one started to pull away from the clip that goes into the watch case. I contacted the seller and BAM, they offered to send me a new band. I love this band and appreciate the great customer service! I received the new band withing a couple of days.Color is accurate, looks very convincingly like the OEM real thing, lugs are too small for the 45mm Series 7 (and probably the new Series 8 of the same size), stretches out over a bit of time. Consider sizing down, but overall good value for the money.I wanted to try the braided closed loop watch band after already using a solid one. When it arrived I immediately changed to this one and went for a run. It was very comfortable and lightweight. I love it!Fitted with ease and easy to adjustI have a lot of different styles of Apple Watch straps, the regular silicone, the sport band, the Nike silicone and sport band, the twist-o-flex, different leather ones, I’m sure there’s others im forgetting.This one has Sky rocketed to being my favourite one by far. I wish it was a little thicker but that’s just being nit pickyI swell a lot so it’s an issue in the day where I would constantly have to change the sizes of whatever strap I’m using. I would wake up in the night and not be able to feel my wrist because it’s swollen up and I wasn’t getting good circulation.This strap doesn’t give me any issue like this, I can wear in comfortably all the time, I just don’t get it wet.I like it, at this price it’s about $90 less than official so it’s worth knowing if I like it or notI was happy with this strap right away, but I waited to see how it would stretch/settle. I've been using it daily for about 5 weeks now, and I have no complaints. I selected the appropriate size based on my wrist measurements, and this strap remains comfortable (not too tight/loose). It may feel a bit loose right after stretching it onto my wrist, but massaging the fabric for a few seconds fixes that. Based on how much cheaper this is than the official apple braided strap, I am still hesitant about its longevity, but since it has held up great so far, I don't have any reason to doubt it.Much better than what i was expected. I don’t own a genuine apple band like this one so i cannot compair them but i am very satisfied with the product. Colore is like the picture on my phone ( green ) length and elasticity are good so no complain at all.Für relativ kleines Geld ein gutes iWatch Armband. Habe nun zwei von der Sorte, so das eines immer zum Waschen gehen kann. Die Einstellung der Weite ist gut gelöst, straff genug um auch div. sportliche Aktivitäten zu überstehen, ohne locker zu werden. Die Farbe ist ein schönes tiefes Blau.
