The best watch band I've found! It looks and feels great on my Withings Scanwatch.
I've bought a ton of bands recently, including stretchy fabric solo loop bands, leather bands, silicone bands, metal link bands, and metal mesh bands.This is the keeper! It is more comfortable than any other I've tried, except for maybe the fabric solo loop bands. Unlike the stretchy bands though, I don't have to worry about getting this one wet, which is great. I tried several other mesh bands with various styles of clasps, and this one is far and away the easiest to get a perfect fit on. As my wrist gets bigger or smaller throughout the day, it is truly effortless to adjust to the new perfect fit, and I love that.Honestly, I forget it's even on because it's so comfortable. I cannot recommend this enough.Some other reviewers had concerns about reliability and durability - I can't speak to durability since I've only had it a few days, but it seems to be very reliable. I have not had the magnet slip off at all, and the pins fit perfectly in my Withings Scanwatch.

Everything I was looking for in a band!
Update 09/26/20: For those with small wrists like me, if you bring the magnet too close to the watch the bezel will stop working, it won't register that it's turning. I learned this the hard way. Had to return the watch and order a new one. When the watch bezel stopped working, I realized it could be the magnet. I wear the watch a little loose now, but no problems with the bezel.I don't write reviews often, but as I was lookingthrough pictures to check other band colors to buy another one, I read some reviews that do this band no justice.Reviews stating the magnet isn't strong and slides, while picture shows the reviewer never removed the blue plastic magnet cover. The only time the band slid loose is when I was using my watch hand to hammer a few nails. Understandably so...Reviews stating the picture is deceiving. I don't know about you, but I got the picture from the pictures, get it? ; )Reviews stating it's hard to put on because they had huge hands. It's harder, but not too difficult. I'm not the best coordinated person and was able to one handed buckle it around my wrist.Reviews stating it digs in your arm. I haven't had any issues with that, in fact, I forget I have it on, it's so comfortable. I get it though, if you have a thick wrist, I could see how it may dig, but that's me speculating.Reviews stating the color faded, or it peeled. I've been wearing it for a week now and I work outdoors in the Florida heat (as in sun, sweat, near salt air) and it still looks brand new. I have no idea what they do with their watch.I love that it stays buckled when I take it off, but easily comes apart for easy charging. That's huge for me.If any of the above changes, I'll update my review. I promise.

Comfortable, but a Beast to Assemble for Big Hands and Imperfect Eyes
Been wearing for about 10 days. It is a comfortable band. I like the securing feature when the band is clipped in place. And it looks good with my watch.HOWEVER, Installation Was Hard! It took me an hour.I attached the band to my Samsung Galaxy Watch myself using the tool provided in the package. That tool was a smart and necessary move by the mfg.I am a fairly adept guy in using tools, taking links out of bike chains, etc., but this little job took me to my limits.Partly because the pieces are so small, and my eyes are not the best. But also because the engineering is precise and there is very little “play” when assembling. This tight fit of the parts is great while wearing, but a beast in assembly.Also, watch bands have a specific direction, and I would suggest that they find a way to help people easily determine left wrist direction from right wrist direction.Now that I know the drill, I’d buy another one down the road.

...a few days later
******** Update **********I'm revising my review to five stars. The band did actually come with pins. I found them on the floor of my home office today. So far, the band works well and looks great.***************************While the band looks nice, it was much more difficult than it should have been to attach to my Galaxy Watch 42mm. The band did not come with pins, so I had to remove the pins from the Samsung-supplied silicone band and push them into the new band. The so-called "band ears" were useless as they didn't retract one end of the pins sufficiently while trying to fit both pin ends in the holes in the watch. I just wound up using a jeweler's screwdriver to push and hold one pin end in and then slide it over the hole, which worked well. I'm not saying this is a bad band, because the end result is very nice. But just be prepared to re-use your existing pins. Also, the band is easily adjustable with its magnetic tab pull, allowing me to open the band up enough to just slip on or off my wrist.

This band is everything I hoped.
This band is well made, it fits my 44mm Galaxy Action 2 watch perfectly, it adjusts infinitely with no predetermined hole or notch restrictions, and the magnetic catch is strong and secure. The stainless steel mesh doesn't feel harsh on my skin and it breaths. My watch is easier than ever to put on and remove. It also looks very sleek and well-matched to my Aqua Black Galaxy Action 2 watch. I found that attaching the fixed end of the band to the bottom of the watch makes it most convenient to adjust the band since that puts the magnet on the inside of my wrist. Of course, it works OK the other way too, but for me this is more natural.
