Soft and Flexible

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020

Love how it matches case size with very little taper. Before I got an Apple Watch this is look I preferred on a watch. Wish there were more like that. Looks like would be rigid because of size but it is very soft and flexible. Great that it is actually black, so many silicone strap aren’t a deep black. My only negative is the pattern does collect link/dust but easily rinses off and looks new.

Definitely not worth it

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020

Update to add to the cons.

If you are thinking about buying this band please be aware of the following:
Pros
1. It looks cool
2. It is comfortable
3. It is wider than most silicone bands

Cons
1. Design is flawed as it too thick for the area of the Apple Watch where it connects (in other words after you slide the band into the watch to attach it you have to push the band until it clicks otherwise you drop your watch)
2. It does not work with a wrap around case as the band is too thick and no amount of moving it around will make it click
3. After having to move the band around so it connects correctly to the watch a couple of times it the mechanism that makes it attach it to the watch is starting to break
4. So much for it being a sports strap, it is already fading after using for four days.

Summarizing, it’s cool and comfortable but not worth the $40 dollars and could possibly mess up your expensive watch.

A great band that puts the watch back in the Apple Watch!!!

This band is awesome. While it does not state so, it does fit the series 4 version. It fit very firmly and stayed in place. What I like most is that it gave me back the rugged watch look. I have been a Samsung Watch user because it actually look like a watch. With this band, I have been very impressed. Some of the reviews made me a little skeptical but after trying it...I was in love with it. The thing that really gets me is the way people who see me wearing it reacts. They always ask where I got it from and what store can they get it. So trust me it will be a great attraction for others. Thanks for a great band for a great price!!

Made for bigger wrists. Good quality.

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I read all the reviews - mostly negative - so I wanted to write one. The band is good quality and looks great. It is wide and thick which makes it look expensive and sporty. However if you have a smaller wrist this would not be a good thing. I am 6-3 , 220 lbs with larger wrists so it works great and fits well. It would not work for my children or a female wrist. The clasp is good. I wore it surfing and to lift weights. No issues with the magnets and security yet. Its a soft material that is flexible but it does collect dust as mentioned. It’s unique and in my opinion worth the cost. Hope this helps.

Extremely comfortable and good looking band.

Most comfortable iwatch band I’ve owned. The wider width matches the Series 3 face for a more proportional look than the original band. Also has better ventilation due to the concave skin surface. Good purchase.

A Magnet for Dust and Lint

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Gives the Apple Watch a different look. Very comfortable. However, it collects dust and lint like that's it's job.

Update: After one week, I'm starting to really not like this thing. The dust makes it look nasty. The end that gets tucked in, doesn't stay tucked. I have a small wrist, so there is plenty tucked in, however, it works it's way out enough to stick up between where it's tucked in and where it's "pinned".
Nice style, poor design.

Widest Band You Will Ever Find

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

I love wide bands and this is the widest band that I could find that is not made out of nylon. Nylon will stink from sweat after a while, this one will not. The only issue is that it does not slide and lock in easily all the time. I think that was the reason Nomad discontinued this style, so these can only be found on the secondary market now.

Even wider than I thought honestly. Love the material but not a fan of the look. Just not for me.

Awesome width for bigger guys and/or case covers!

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

Width-wise this band is awesome. I’m a big guy and like a cartoonishly huge watch; have several Invictas and had stepped up to a Garmin Fenix 3HR for connectivity, but wanted more integration with my iPhone, so got a 42mm Apple Watch. I added a Tough Armor case/cover because I’m famously clumsy. With the case, hated the large square shape with the thinner width of the original band, made it just stick out like a sore thumb! The band’s scale wasn’t right for my beefier watch with that case. I got this because the width worked better for scale for the Apple Watch with the Tough Armor case and my larger wrist. I did have to trim back the form-fitting of the band on the underside about 2-3mm, where the band attaches to the case to allow fit with my case, but it fits perfect with no case!

The length...is a little short, so that was the only drawback. I’m three notches from the end which makes tucking the band in to the retainer a little loose.

Works well for nickel sensitivity

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

I swim with my iWatch 2, so it's important that the watch band be waterproof. I tried the Apple silicone strap and an aftermarket version; over time, both left me with oozing sores where the metal button sits. Turns out I have a sensitivity to nickel. I needed a metal-free silicone strap and this was the only one I found. It's a little heavy for my style (thick and black, with a definite presence on my small wrist), but hasn't caused a rash after several months of use. I'm satisfied that it meets my needs. Wish it came in white, though....
