This is the 3rd one of these straps I have purchased for myself and family members . They are of great quality and very easy to adjust to fit.
Please make a slightly dressier model for women so I can swap out in the evening
If you’re looking for a stainless steel Apple Watch strap at a ridiculously cheap price, but want something that’s genuine quality, then this is it. The strap is amazing looking and really elevates the look of my Apple Watch to a whole new level of sophistication. You also get all the tools and spare parts to make adjusting the size a breeze. It’s a no brainer and easily 5 stars for me.
I’ve had this strap for 2 and a half years now. It has held up to being on a work site, every day use and any number of other challenges. The strap barely looks 6 months old, hasn’t stretched and I only had to take links out when I first got it. It is very comfortable and easy to clean. The pins are very strong. Taking pins out when I first got it was very easy and took a couple of minutes. Definitely recommend.
Adds a more professional look to the Apple Watch, and is easy to install /adjust should you need more or less links to fit your wrist
Also durable, seems to be made of good quality materials
Excellent quality. Perfect replacement for the apple sports strap . (I was getting a rash with the original plastic / rubber strap- maybe an allergy, so had to replace it – it was also looking a bit scruffy ) .
I ordered the blue stainless steel strap, which is a perfect match for my blue 44mm watch. You even get the tool to remove the pins (note: if you look closely at the new strap, there are 5 or 6 end segments with tiny arrows, these are the ones that are removable), and it only takes a few minutes to adjust the size. Very professional finish. Bought another for my girlfriends watch (silver and gold) , and she was delighted too. Overall 10/10, as great quality, and value.
A little time consuming to adjust the straps length but once you know what you’re doing its alright looking a bit better now and you can slip on and off to the original strap if you need to
Well packaged, wear it all day everyday & it Feels gd, looks gd. Easy to fit & remove links.
Robust & durable, I wear it in the shower no signs of damage so far. I work in a manual labour job so it takes a bash and a scrape now and then, no sign of damage.
Amazing product, mustn’t of read the description properly as I was expecting to have to take it to a jewellers to get some links taken out but it comes with all the tools to do it yourself. Really chuffed with it, 5*
This is my first smart watch and wanted a ‘normal bracelet’ for it. This one fitted exactly to the watch and was easy to adjust to wrist size by removing the pins in the bracelet using the supplied gadget. Glad I purchased and would recommend.
Bought this Apple Watch metal strap after baulking at the cost of the genuine Apple offerings (who in their right mind would pay hundreds for a watch strap?).
I didn’t expect much from this TBH, as price was reasonably low.
But product came with all the tools and instructions necessary to remove/add links as necessary to suit ones wrist and it was very straightforward to make these changes.
I’ve not felt the need to change my Apple Watch strap since purchasing this one, as it very comfortable, durable and has caused my wrist to turn green! it has a couple scratches on it, but that is because of this user who regularly uses a keyboard, so watch strap is moving against a desk surface as I type.
I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an alternative to the standard silicone strap supplied with an Apple Watch.
NB. I did initially buy an authentic leather Apple replacement strap for my watch, but after six months the leather started to peel. I contacted Apple and they said ‘standard wear and tear, so not covered by warranty’. I didn’t see the point in buying another authentic Apple strap when the first was very poor quality and this alternative was not only significantly cheaper but of better quality too.
My son asked me to order this for him to replace his Apple Watch strap. I removed a couple of links for the fit which was very easy to do with the enclosed tool.
Looks and feels very sturdy and well built, early days so difficult to predict the quality.
Best part is the bracelet adjustment tools which I think is a very good idea. Was a breeze adjusting the bracelet, I personally think it compliments the watch.
I’ve had this strap for about 8 months now and I’m really impressed with the quality of it.
I wear it most days to work and find it really comfortable.
It’s still in great condition, with hardly any scratches or dinks.
It’s super easy to remove links to fit the size of your wrist. I’ve got really skinny wrists and I was able to remove enough links for it to fit comfortably.
Recommended!
I purchased my watch strap in December and it has broken on me today. One of the links which is not one of the removeable links appears to have come off the watch strap. My watch fell to the ground and luckily there was no damage to my watch because I was on grass. I was really happy with the item until today and I would like you to contact me in relation to a replacement please.
This watch strap is sleek and elegant in the wrist, and the perfect professional looking strap to pair with your Apple Watch. I have a space grey 42mm watch and it pairs perfectly. It allows me to wear my watch with suits and not feel like I am wearing a sports watch whilst giving me perfect functionality of my watch.
The clasp is strong and easy to use and it came with a link tool remover to make it the perfect fit. After such a long use, the outside colour has maintained its integrity however the inside has slightly faded. Not a surprise of a watch of this price and lasted far longer than expected, but be aware, it will discolour eventually!
I would recommend to anyone looking to purchase an iWatch to get the bog-standard strap at no extra cost and then jump onto Amazon and choose a better strap at not much extra cost. This cost under 20 and it totally transforms it into a “proper” watch that now looks really good. It is very easy to remove links and once in the correct position – is a doddle to slip on and off.
Will it fall apart within the first week? I have no idea, but my initial thoughts are really good!
Excellent craftsmanship, looks expensive, the black blends in with the watch 100%
Easy to change the length to fit your wrist, instructions could be a bit larger though
EXCELLENT NEW WATCH STRAP FOR MY DAUGHTER.
SHE ORDERED IT , ADJUSTED IT AND FITTED IT TO HER APPLE WATCH.
SHE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT, LOOKING SO POSH, LIKE A GOLD BRACELET.
ALSO HERE<24HRS WITH PRIME.
I’ve got small wrists & had to remove quite a few links which was straightforward & really easy to remove. Quality of the strap is really good, rose gold colour in the strap matches the rose gold dial of my Apple Watch. Really happy with the purchase
Gorgeous strap looks great on. Easy to put on. Looks fantastic
Present for my girlfriend who wanted a chunkier watch strap for her Apple watch. Was very easy to take the links out and it was on her wrist within 10 minutes.
Easy to fit and adjust. Did what the package says. Looks good on wrist.
Initially, the strap would not fit my Ultra watch. After some contact, the seller has since sent me another and this one fits fine.
Looks nice and feels nice.
The person I bought this as a present for was very pleased with i
After eight months of use, the strap broke. On looking at why, one of the rods holding the individual links together, had just rusted away and had broken. Having mentioned the problem in my review, I was proactively contacted by the seller and a replacement was arranged. The strap itself was nice and I’m now looking forward to the replacement which I am sure will be fine.
Good quality and looks great , makes my watch look expensive
The gold looked quite plastic so I returned as it stood out with my gold jewellery
looks better and feels right on 45mm size. feels good on wrist and easy to adjust the strap. I had to remove couple of bits to fit my wrist, and it was easy to do. hope it holds up for everyday use. if not, will update.
I bought this strap because I don’t like the ones supplied with the watch or normal straps as I usually drop the watch due to arthritis (cost me a fortune to repair the watch1) and prefer the bracelet type as it’s easier for me. The strap comes with a tool to remove segments and has spare pins, once easilt adjusted to a size to suit it fita perfectly and looks way more expensive than it was, I’m very happy with it.
I bough this for my husband for his birthday and he loved it. Very sturdy and comfortable, high quality and looks good on his iwatch
I found it rather fiddly to change the length of the strap.
I’m impressed so far it was easy to adjust the best watch strap I’ve bought since owning an Apple Watch I got this for social events and it looks grea
I had the blue apple strap which I loved but wanted a change. This looks great – really great quality and it’s like wearing and entirely different watch. Really easy to remove links. Fantastic.
Nice strap for a bit of a change from the Apple Loops. Not exactly high quality but does the job well. Matched the watch colour well
I’m happy to give this strap 5 stars across the board at the moment. It seems well made, fits my Apple Watch 5 perfectly and looks good.
Link removal tool worked well. Removing a link left it slightly too tight and leaving the link in left it slightly loose. I could probably live with either but opted for slightly loose.
Being stainless steel, it is fairly heavy compared to the Apple magnetic strap. The strap on it’s own probably weighs as much as the watch and the magnetic strap together. That said, within a couple of days I barely noticed the weight difference.
Good but looks odd on a the watches that arnt stainless steel
Overall product is okay, slightly cheap quality for the price as this isn’t my first apple strap to buy. The shape of the strap is bent, not sure if this is a defect or not, makes the watch face itself look out of shape
Just what I wanted for my Apple Watch, as I don’t like the usual bands, so easy to remove or add on links, hasn’t tarnished at all and I’ve kept it on 24/7 for the last few months, always get compliments on it and have even got my friends to purchase and upgrade their Apple watches
The metal band feels a little lightweight, and the clasp part doesn’t allow any fine adjustment. but I think decent quality for the price point, There are a lot of positives though. The band colour is a good colour match to the blue Apple Watch. The band arrived well packaged and a lot of consideration has been given to the end customer. The band comes with spare links, connecting pins and a tool for removing links. Very happy with the purchase.
NICE QUALITY AND RELATIVELY EASY TO ADJUST BAND SIZE. SOME MAY FIND IT A BIT FIDLEY
I loved the two tone design of this watch strap and was instantly attracted to it. It is really well made, feels very strong and appears to be quite durable. The strap locking mechanism is very secure and safe and will not undo accidently. I had the magnetic strap before I bought this one so I could adjust it to perfection but would worry about it coming undone accidently as its only fastened by the little magnet. When I looked at this one I knew I would have to remove a few links to make it fit my wrist, which is easy enough to do as they supply you with a kit with instructions on how to take the links out.
Although this strap is nice and strong the only issue with it is that even after taking some links out you still can’t get it to the perfect size like the magnetic strap and that is why I have given it 4 stars instead of 5.
Good quality. Comfy on wrist. Had to remove several links as was too big – a tool is provided with it but still wasn’t easy to do as the tool was bent and very fiddly.
Strap is good but there was no adjuster in the box it shows one on the leaflet dit not in the box
– I absolutely love this watch strap, it’s so heavy and feels expensive & not cheap.
The only downside is it is hard to get the links off and sometimes the screw is lodged in the hole that’s maybe something that can be improved, other than that it’s a really well made watch strap.
It looks nice and adds a nice weight to the watch, I got the series 7 41mm stainless steel Apple Watch and this band really compliments the watch but it’s not a steel band which is false advertising by saying it is.
You can put a magnet to it and it doesn’t stick so it’s most likely aluminium with a coating on top.
I would give it a 5 star as it’s really nice but will be knocking one off for the false advertising
It’s well made and comfortable to wear. It came with a tool to remove links which was unexpectedand this was easy to do (one link removed). I would have given 5 stars but, unlike most original equipment bracelet straps, there was no micro adjustment in the catch so the closest you can get to a perfect fit is by removing a link which is about 7mm widewhich in my case leave it about half a link loose. I have added a stainless steel look (plastic) cover to my wantch which helps it blend with the strap.
