Excellent Customer Care, Great Products!
**UPDATE** 13 June 2018:I am revising my original review (Below). After posting my original review, I was contacted by V-Moro customer service. All I can say is their customer service is 10 out of 5 stars!! Truly above and beyond and truly exceptional. They generally care about the concerns presented and wouldn't settle until a resolution was met. Instead of resending one the Amazon warehouse, they want to send one from their warehouse in China to ensure there is no manufacturing defects so that the product I receive is 100%. The shows genuine customer care which is hard to find these days. I revise my original review of three stars to five stars for this alone. I will definitely continue to do business with this vendor.I had high hopes for this band. When I received it and installed it to my gear S3, I actually started to like it. My wrist was not bothered by it whatsoever and the fitment was precise. Finally, it was nice to be able to adjust my watch to fit my wrist without being too loose or too tight.The thought process behind this band is ingenious. However after only having this for less than a month, the black finish is fading off (picture attached). With the faded finish it just makes it look cheap. I didn't spend $300 on a watch to be toting around that sheep band. I was actually really disappointed because I really do like this band as it is the only one I found to be able to be adjusted precisely to your wrist size, without having Velcro.If they can fix the issue with the strap fading overtime this band would be impossible to beat. See attached immage for fading.

I liked the concept of this band but...
I really liked the concept of this band and that's the main reason I bought one. The idea that a magnet can keep the band attached firmly to your wrist is pretty interesting and probably feasible if the magnet was strong enough to hold one side of the band to the other. That's where the problem with this band is. The magnet is NOT strong enough to keep the band from slipping, so you are constantly adjusting the band back to where you want it. Easy to do, yes, but also an unexpected inconvenience. My watch is a smart watch that tracks my sleep pattern while I wear my watch to bed. I make sure the band is tight before going to sleep as the readings are much more accurate with a snug band. As a result of the weak magnet, the band slides down, making the overall circumference of the band wider, making a not so snug fit on your wrist. The result? Inaccurate sleep tracking due to a loosely fitting band. This is not acceptable.One other thing with the band I should mention is that when one side of the band slides down the other side over and over again (since the magnet doesn't hold very well), the band starts to wear prematurely. There are flat spots where the two sides make contact with each other, top and bottom, from the band sliding against itself. These flat spots not only make the band look funny after awhile, but they also create very fine metal shavings in the crevices of the band, making it appear dirty. You can clean this up and it reappears after just a few days of wearing it.My conclusion is I like the concept and style of this band but in real-world use, it doesn't work. The only thing I can think of that would make it work better is a much stronger magnet. Since I don't see that happening, you should probably avoid buying one.

So far so good.
So far so good. I have been using this watch band for about a week now. I have 7.5" (19cm) wrists and I am only using half of the watch band. The magnetic clasp makes for easy adjustments, as well as donning and doffing. I have hairy arms and the links don't get caught in or pull out my arm hair. It is very comfortable and breaths well. I have been working out with it and doing a bunch of yard work and the pins haven't slipped or broke. With a very active lifestyle I tend to be hard on, well, everything. I'm going to try rock climbing with it next. If it fails me, I'll update my review, but so far, I'm impressed.

Perfect band replacement
It's a perfect replacement for original leather band. Metal doesn't absorb water or sweat at all. Magnet lock adjusts to the size of my wrist perfectly. I owned a cheap metal bracelet before (where you have to remove links to adjust it to the size), and this "milanese magnetic" band is so much better! I'm not sure if it's only me, but I was unable to replace the bracelet without using tools. However, I purchased cheap chinese watch toolset for my previous bracelet, so I used the tool to insert it. But maybe if I had smaller fingers, better nails, or more experience installing bands, I would be able to do everything with my fingers only.Anyway, this bracelet is more tough, water resistant and sweat resistant than original leather band.It doesn't plucks my hair like my previous cheap metal link bracelet did.And also it adjusts to the wrist perfectly. I can't even think of better way to adjust to my wrist.

Must have, the perfect band
I love this band. I bought my boyfriend the official Apple version of this same band for his Apple Watch for $150. This one cost me $15 for my Gear S3. The quality between the two is essentially the same (mind blown). I'm ecstatic at how great this band is considering the price. The adjustable magnet makes it a great fit no matter where I want it placed on my arm. It doesn't tug on hair like other metallic bands due to its design. I bought the black one initially; I have the silver one in my cart to add color versatility on days I want it. If they made a metallic blue, I'd grab that one too. There's no criticisms for this band; it's the band I wish I could've bought many years ago even for traditional watches.

Great band but beware of the effects of the very strong magnet.
Works just as expected except for one annoying detail I hadn't anticipated. The magnet is very strong. It is so strong though that it sticks to every piece of steel my wrist gets close to (car door panel, eating utensils, light pole while reaching for crosswalk button, etc.). Recently I took off watch to wash my hands, and slipped it into my back pocket with my wallet. That was stupid, as the magnet wiped out the swipe strips on most of my ATM and credit cards.Other than that the watch band is great. It is infinitely adjustable, and look good.
