Alpine Loop Nylon Compatible with Google Pixel Watch 3 41mm 45mm Band/Google Pixel Watch 2/Google Pixel Watch Band for Men Women, Breathable Rugged Sport Straps WristbandOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

Thank goodness some third party watch bands for the Pixel Watch 3 45mm have finally hit Amazon. This brand, Folavii, has three types of watch bands up for sale for the 45mm. I got all of them. But this review is for the Alpine Loop Nylon Band. I like all three styles, but this Alpine Loop one is my favorite of the bunch. The other two types are a stretch type band. There is a bit of "give" in this band, but I guess it's more of a "woven" style of band. I think it looks great.The lugs are made of metal. The stretch bands this brand is currently selling have metal lugs as well. The lugs attach to my 45mm watch 3 nicely. There is a very very slight amount of wiggle back and forth when attached. But I have experienced no rattling from notifications or vibrations. I know a lot of people ask that question. And that goes for the other watch bands I've gotten from this brand as well. It's funny because the only watch bands I've ever bought that rattle have been the $200 dollar official Metal Links bands from Google. I bought that for my watch 1/watch 2 and now the watch 3 45mm.On this particular band, I do not believe the lugs have quick release pins. I think the fabric on it may have been too snug for that. The stretch bands this brand is selling has quick release pins on each of their lugs. Just a little FYI. If you wanted some lugs to use with other traditional third party watch bands.I've used this band for several days now. And I feel very confident using it with my $500 dollar smart watch. Like I said the lugs attach very well. And while there is a very tiny amount of wiggle, it feels very secure otherwise. I do not feel like the lugs would detach from the watch. I used several third party watch bands with the Pixel Watch 1 and the Pixel Watch 2 and they had plastic lugs and never once did they detach. And this Alpine Loop band has metal lugs. Feeling secure while wearing my watch is probably the most important factor for me when using a third party band. The second would probably be comfort.This watch band is very comfy. I think it just feels nice. And since the fabric has a little bit of give, it's never too tight. Like what you may get with a leather band, or metal for that matter. But at the same time since it's not really a stretch band, it's never too loose either. When I was looking at the pictures I was a little concerned by the "hook" that secures the watch band around your wrist. I was concerned about how secure that is. But after wearing it for several days, its a non issue. It stays securely in place just fine. And even if it were to come out of the loop, the band doesn't budge because the other metal bit that makes up the band is wedged into the groove of one of the loops. This probably makes no sense, but if the hook comes out of the loop, your watch isn't falling off of your wrist.I paid $12.99 for this watch band. It's my favorite third party band I've ever used for a Pixel Watch. It looks nice, is comfy and connects to my watch well.I would definitely recommend this. I'm probably going to order another in a different color because of how happy I am with it.Thanks for reading my review!

This is quite comfortable and looks great.This loses one star because the fit to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3 is a bit iffy. It engages in the lock ok and is easy to install and remove, however once installed there is a tiny bit of play that isn't present in the OEM branded bands.I'm fully confident that it is secure while wearing it. That said, another band from the same seller with the same fitment issues did pop off of the watch once while I was removing it from my wrist. That particular band is a stretchy band and it came off while I was pulling fairly hard on the band. I don't expect it to be a problem with that band while actually wearing it and it even less of an issue with this band as you don't exert the same forces on it while putting it on or taking it off but it is worth noting nonetheless since I'm sure it is related to the slight play on the watch fitment present with this band as well.

The original band that came with the PW3 really didn't feel good (especially compared to the GW7). This band is a great idea to adjust it more easily to your "exact specifications" vs a regular notched band. It made the watch wearable and comfortable to me. I like it so much I'm ordering one for my GW7! Different use cases (GW7 for a more professional look/feel, PW3 as the daily driver) -- This band for the price is a no-brainer. Looks great, feels great, at a reasonable price.

Good watch band for the Pixel and easy to put on and adjust but the real issue I have is that the metal is cheap and turns my skin green and extremely sensitive. I can't recommend this band because of that.

Very good strap. Very nice looking and comfortable. Good price. And looks good with or without a hard case protector.

I had yet to 1 star on an item until this one. The part that connects to the watch is not the correct width so it wiggles like crazy. Sure it is attached at this time but it's hard to trust it. The band fabric stretch feels too light for the loop style like others I've had in the past. The silver parts are super cheap feeling and are almost certainly plastic so the durability is limited along with its longevity if you do anything serious for a career.

This watch band was very easy to put on compatible with the pixel watch 2, incredibly comfortable, fits my wrist nice and snuggly, and breaths just enough that my wrist isn't stuffy. it's slightly elastic so that's a plus for longevity and durability. Overall a great bargain for $8.

Somewhat cheaply made, but what do you expect for $7, comfortable, to adjust fit there is a metal hook that goes in the many loops along the band for a good fit. Does give the watch an interesting look. Attached to my PW3-45 with no problems. Seems secure.
