Bought the highest rated watch band on amazon in a size small, then got this one but a little bit bigger to see how well they fit. I did order too big, but thats more on me than this product. I have owned a size 6 and 7 solo loop from apple and to me, the medium size band (for 42/45 mm watches) feels bigger than a 7. It feels like a 7.5 or maybe even an 8. But definitely isnt the same as the apple size 7. If you have bigger wrists then this wont be an issue, but for those who are still trying to find what size to buy, id definitely lean more toward the small size.As for my one complaint on quality, there a defect on my unit where the button clips to the watch. So on all bands there the silver button side that connects on the bottom to the watch and then the top side is what locks into place with the watch. I have a plastic warp/rough patch that makes it hard to slide the connectors into my watch. And its on both ends of my strap. My work around is simply pushing down on that button till it slides into the watch connector. Hard to convey in text.It does make it difficult to insert but removal is actually no different than any other watch strap, just getting into place is the hard thing. Since i dont switch bands often it doesnt really bother me, but if you order a unit and the center button doesnt fit correctly into the watch, id either get a replacement or just sand it down so that it can glide into place easily.Since mine was not the right size i wont be using it, but again thats on me, not the product. But if i did have it in the right size i wouldnt mind using it. The comfort and usability is fine. Just know your sizes before buying and lean on the smaller side.I bought a size medium which fits comfortably, maybe slightly lose, but the material keeps it from moving around too much. I can’t remember what my actual wrist size was but if you’re coming from an Apple sport band like I was, you can find information online about how the holes in the band match up to apples numbered sizes for their solo bands and go from there. The locking mechanism that slides into the Watch isn’t a snug fit and has a little wiggle room when the band is stretched on your wrist. Despite that I have had the band for over a month so far and had no problems with it coming unlocked even while at work and taking on/off my heavy duty safety gloves. Overall very satisfied with the product especially considering how much it costs compared to apples solo band. Love the color tooI’ve been needing to replace my black Solo Loop for many, many months now, because it became discolored within 2 weeks after I had used a disinfectant wipe on the material. Unfortunately, Apple stopped selling black Solo Loop and I didn’t want any other style or color.It took me too long to find an alternative on Amazon. I wear size 7 in the Apple brand so I bought both the medium and small sizes just in case. Please check photos for reference. The top band is Apple brand (now discolored). The medium is larger by a couple of mm and the small band is smaller by about 8 mm compared to the size 7.In comparison, the Solo Loop is a thicker material and this aftermarket version feels “cheaper”. However, they both have similar stretch capability. The medium was too loose for me so I ended up using the small. After wearing the small for about 15 minutes, my wrist began to feel numb from how tight it was. Im thinking that maybe it just needs to be “worn in” by being stretched.I will keep this review updated on durability, comfort, and whether it loosens up over time. For now, I will give it 4 stars across the board for value and initial impressions.Like many others, I was not about to spend $50 on Apple's first party solo loop band. For how cheap this product is, it feels great. Just get the appropriate size and you'll be just fine. Stretches nice and easily, doesn't feel loose, easily removed as well. It's much easier than fiddling with a clasp, and it's held up well so far. I believe I bought one from a different brand and it served me well for at least a year until it was time for a new one. Hard to beat at this price.Love the Apple solo band but not willing to pay the price. This band is a great alternative. The sizing can be a bit challenging since there is a gap between sizes. My wrist measure 160 mm, but the small only goes up to 154 mm and the medium starts at 163. I ordered the Medium. It is just slightly loose - not s much that it turns on my wrist. As long as the fitness apps work with it (which they seem to), I am okay with that. The band was a bit harder to put on and off than my original Apple band. One of the little plugs that holds the band in place kept falling out when I was trying to install it. They go back in easy, but just made it hard to slide the band in. I like the way it looks - love the color! Seems like it might stretch out a little, but time will tell. Can't beat the price compared to Apple!Nice band, good color (red wine). Not as thick as Apples, but for the price, no complaints. Visually, no one can tell the difference. Just got it, so I can’t speak to durability. I’d buy again, and I probably will get another color or two.Bought several in different colors for my husband. He likes to match them to the shirt he’s wearing. He was so happy with them, and they look fun! Thinking of getting an Apple Watch myself just for the bands!Fun colors. I got orange and blue. Easy to install (you have to press a little button to release the old band - I had my husband do that - he frequently changes his band) I now put my watch on in the morning and take it off before I go to bed!Story time: I do not like the original band which comes with the watch. I was always taking it off - to the point I lost my watch. (Found 4 months later in the seat cushions).Está bien y se ve de buena calidad, sólo que venía con un defecto o rasgadura. Se debería poner más atención al momento de empaquetar los productos para su envío y así evitar enviar productos defectuosos. Solicitaré reembolso y compraré otra pieza.Ces bracelets sont tellement pratique et beau.Je les portes tout le temps.J'ai acheté mon 1 er sur le site de apple $$$$$Je regrette tellement j'aurai aimé l'avoir commandé ici.
