MGABS Compatible for Apple Watch Band 44mm 42mm 40mm 38mm - Strong Magnetic Leather Loop Replacement Strap Wristband for iWatch Series 4/3/2/1

I have probably 40 Apple Watch bands. Different materials, colors ... it's become a fun accessory. I purchased this one because the color and pattern were somewhat unique and nice. And I still like the color and pattern.My problem with the product is that there's nothing on the tail of the long side to keep it from easily slipping through the buckle side. In other words - it can come off extremely easily. And it did. I was standing in my kitchen and went to simply loosen it a bit and the weight of the watch pulled it away from my arm and the band slipped right out of the buckle part, my watch hit the tile and smashed. (No worries, I've got Apple Care but WHAT a drag).Now in fairness, the Apple rubber watch bands don't either - but the way they are built one kind of recognizes the danger. Owning quite a few like this I was unprepared for just how easily it came apart. With other magentized bands the magnet is strong enough that it's very unlikely that the tail will pull through. With flexy cloth the velcro connectors make pulling through the buckle very unlikely as well.So - I like the look of the band but am disappointed that it's got this design challenge. And my new watch shows the damage from it.

Let's be real, if you're buying this it's because you want the look of Apple's Leather Loop at a fraction of the cost. And for the most part, that's exactly what you get with this band.From a distance others would be hard pressed to know that you didn't drop $150 on Apple's premium band. The band is thin and the leather covered links fit the wrist well. The magnetic closure is more than strong enough and provides easy adjustment throughout the day.Things are less impressive when you look at where the lugs integrate with the watch body. The fit simply isn't there. In both lugs there is an ample amount of play side to side while the band is "locked" in place. When looking down the length of the watch body's channel for holding a band you can see light meaning the lug on the watch band is not filling the channel like it should. So far it hasn't completely disengaged from the watch body on its own, but it certainly feels like that is a distinct possibility.That said, it was $18 and it does an amazing job of replicating the look of more premium bands. I just hope my watch doesn't decide to take an unexpected fall due to poor lug design.

 Let's first remember that the genuine version of this watch is 1000% more expensive. Now take a deep breath and accept the fact that there is an increased risk of damage to the watch due to dimishing hold of the magnet.That's literally been the case on all these "alternative" Apple bands. Get a grip and give it five stars in the review. Unless you're practicing knife throwing, I can guarantee this thing ain't coming off your wrist.Looks amazing when compared to the Apple version, definitely not better, but indistinguishable when seen separately if that makes sense. That's literally the result every money concious cheapskate (that tincludes me*) here was looking for, so shut up and give a good review.

I took the band to the store to see if it compared to the original version and it was pretty good. The Apple version is slightly darker, but I like that this green pops a tad more. The fit on the lug is just a tad off, but not an eye sore (to me). I would recommend for sure. Some folks think they are getting the original apple watch version, I can assure you that you are not.

I love this strap. I've always enjoyed the adjustment with a magnetic closure. I had a steel braid watch strap yet it would catch on my expensive sweaters. The color choices and feel of this strap are better than expected and if it holds up even reasonably well I'll be satisfied. After all the price makes this strap a great value and I'd buy another one. I looked at straps costing a ton more and am glad I didn't buy in.

For this price, you cant beat the quality and style that gives your iwatch...

True description

As close to perfect as possible without being an apple product. This band is stylish and looks great. Holds well on the watch and is easy to instert and take out. I use it on the Series 2 Stainless steel watch. I have a lot of bands and this is one of my favorites.
