I hate the clunkiness of these watches in the first place. I hate the sensation on my skin of the platicy silicone and how my wrist sweats and itches underneath. I knew I wanted a stretch band like the old timex with twistoflex bands back when we all wore watches! LOL. But all I could find was beautiful beaded bracelets strung on elastic or scrunchies that were fluffy bulky looking. The beads won't allow my wrist to lay flat while I am working (writing mostly) and the scrunchies were, well, scrunchy! But this is perfect! It is a nice tight braid with brushed aluminum? ends to prevent fraying and to creat easy snap in pin holders. I am elderly and the tiny pins were a little tricky for my fumble fingers and bad eyesight but since it was so well designed, I was able to do it and not lose a tiny pin. I have yet to see how dirty the fabric braid might get and how it will clean. It feels good, I am able to forget I have it on. It fits my fat wrist and is not in the way while looking quite attractive. I would like a dozen different colors including 3 or 4 more shades of pink! And PLEASE some butterfly prints! I bought a silicone band with butterflies printed on it but like the silicone band that came with my watch I could not tolerate it. I was going to buy a butterfly fabric printed scrunchy but this is very much more than satisfactory. I will be on the alert to buy more.Stretchy and comfortable. Runs a bit bigger than expected.The band fit my watch perfectly. It seemed substantial and I liked the way it looked. I ordered the largest size but it was too small and had to return it.Great product only concern is with how light the color is it shows dirt more but other than that 10/10 design is beautifulI wish I didn't have to write a negative review about this band. It's really, so SO cute and it fit my Amazfit Bip watch, although getting the pin in the hole was a bit of a struggle, it *did* fit eventually.the extra small fit a little loose but I just scooted it up my arm a little and it's fine.The problem is, it's RUINING my stuff! Unfortunately the dye they used on the leather piece stains EVERYTHING!I live in a place that is very hot and humid and any moisture at all seems to make the dye bleed. So frustrating!I also didn't anticipate that because the band is fabric it is porous and gets dirty looking fairly quickly. Hand washing it with a detergent cleans it well but then it's wet and the dye leaks more ?I bought an x-small in white. I love how it looks on my watch. It does run large. I am a little worried about it stretching. As of now my watch is moving around a little bit. My other concern is charging my watch because I can't lay it flat on the charger with this band because it doesn't open up. Other than that so far so good.I love this watch strap, but was hoping the elastic would be tighter, since it's so stretchy. I'm nearly 150 lbs but have tiny wrists, and most watch straps only go so tight. I'll still be using this, but will probably seek a replacement so that I can have something that isn't so loose on my wrist.This band is a little difficult to get on the watch, but it's worth the effort. It is comfortable on my wrist and slips over my hand easily.
