Long story, short: if this is the type of bracelet you’re looking for, then you won’t be disappointed. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this for a while because of the price, so I tried a myriad of other options, including other general metal watch bracelets with Apple Watch adapters. I’m usually not super picky about watch bracelets, but I wear my Apple Watch every single day for both personal and professional reasons, so flaws tend to stand out over time. This thing basically made me stop shopping for Apple Watch bands period because this is all I want to wear.
Pros:
Fit/Finish is excellent. I’m not kidding when I say I wear this every day and I wear it for about 16 hours. This has zero sharp edges and I don’t feel it on my wrist at all.
Very durable for titanium. The clasp barely has any marks at all and for most people the clasp is the part of the watch that quickly becomes scratch city (see pic).
The quick adjust mechanism is among the best I’ve used. It’s smooth and works flawlessly every time, while also feeling secure.
I normally prefer heavy watches, but the lightweight aspect of this is nice for a tool watch.
Cons:
This isn’t a con for me, but the bracelet is 24mm wide and doesn’t taper. I actually think that ADDS to the comfort level on my wrist, but I know some people may not like that.
I have a 7.5in wrist and the bracelet was too small for me out of the box. On the widest clasp setting I was just barely able to squeeze it on my wrist. Fortunately they sell additional links and I was able to order them, but make sure you do that up front if you have big wrists.
If you have a non-Ultra Apple Watch, the adapters will stick out of the case a tiny bit, but it’s not very noticeable.
Moral of the story: if you’re ok with the size, just buy it. I legitimately don’t think there’s anything better out there right now.
