    This is a great watch band for the price I paid. I like the metal bands more than I do the silicone bands or the fabric bands. Band came with its on link separator which was nice. Overall I give a 10/10 for this product

    What other accessory do we have that we can dress up on a daily basis? After the early Apple Watch bands, and the novelty of switching band colors nearly daily to match an outfit wore off, it wasn’t long before many of us defaulted to just a couple bands. This insignia does a nice job of dressing up the watch. I mistakenly thought I was ordering the 49mm Ultra band for my watch. The 41mm arrived, I double checked, and that’s exactly the one I ordered, so wife gets an early Christmas gift. Fortunately she loves having something dressier than her apple sport loop bands. Also nice is the fact that it’s not nearly as heavy as my 45mm steel band I bought from competitor long ago, which would have been far too weighty for her small wrists. While it certainly looks amazing, I haven’t to admit a bit of trial and error getting it sized right. Insignia thankfully includes a tool to swap links out , simply align with arrows on the link to be removed, and twist it out. Her wrists are small, so I ended up removing link after link for 5 in total. Push the pins back in following the arrows! Size it back on, and you’re done. The only complaint she has is working out, she feels sweat feels that sweat may oxidize the band, so I swap it in and out every few days. I will say the fit is more snug than the apple version, but for the price it’s a trade off I’ll gladly deal with. PROS + easy to install + includes link pin tool + looks svelt and sharp + tool includes link storage + matches Watch 9 gold color CONS -tighter fit than I’m used to -workout not as comfortable as sport loop -worries about oxidation, first month perfect tho -nitpick: 5 extra links too large for tool storage CONCLUSION While there are a plethora of knock off watch bands, this Insignia surprisingly approaches Apple’s own quality threshold, for far less.

    Purchased for my wife’s Apple Watch SE. For positives, the color matching is pretty close to the color of the Apple Watch case, and is better than most in this price range. The bracelet is easy to adjust with the included pin removal tool, and the pins are compression fit (not pin and sleeve) which is better than expected. The clasp is secure and action is smooth. Biggest negative is that the machined tolerances could be better. Each link is three individual pieces, and there is a noticeable rattle. It’s not bad, but could better. Overall, a very nice product, and was wife was quick to order it in a second color.

    I did not expect the high quality of this band. It was perfect for my face and gave it a bump up to a dressier look. It was easy to take off links for a perfect fit.

    I have an Apple Watch Series 9. It is the small version 41 mm. The color is starlight. The color on this band is a perfect match for the watch. I removed two links from one side and one link from the other and it is perfectly balanced on my wrist. Yes, I have a very skinny wrist, but the fit is perfect for you with the Health features on the watch, I thought this was an excellent value.

    Difficult to length, but beautiful when finished

    I have no experience in lengthening/sizing watch links, so I was intimidated going in as it is. Well, turns out it's easy, but only if you're given the right tools! I am quite handy with tinkering projects, this was not hard but it wasn't easy to accomplish. The links come full length, so it is most likely you will need to shorten it. I ended up taking out four links, I am 5'11" 190lb, my wrist is about average in circumference. Just for context. Proceeding with the installation, the removal of a pin is very easy. You use the included tool, line up the screw, then turn the tool to loosen the pin, then once loosened you manually remove the pin. Then you will need to remove a second pin based on your estimated length. The challenge comes with reinserting the pin. On the first pin I had no problem, but after the second pin ,the tool became misaligned ever so slightly, then it made it very difficult to install the final pin. See the images. My recommendation is, put it on a table, go slow, expect some challenge in visualizing a small pinhole/pin needle, and go slow. If you bend the needle on the tool, it may be easier to just use plier/wrench and clamp the pin down. If you have the patience, it's still possible to just use the tool, it's just you will need to rotate slowly and align the pin/tool closely. Because of this, I had to take away a few stars as I can foresee how some customers may be frustrated and find it challenging. However, if you can manage this and complete the adjustment, the finished product is excellent and looks great. I'd say no worse (or better) than the Apple products. Good luck!

    I actually got this watchband as an open box item and it matches my watch very well considering I believe my watches Apple SE watch and I think it’s rose gold pretty sure certain it is and the watchband is the starlight. I think they call it color which is still a goldish color, but, it matches my watch pretty well, especially with the little bumper I have around my watch which actually makes it a little bit of a different color than it actually is but I love this band
