Review on πŸ“± HATALKIN Apple Watch Band 44mm with Metal Bumper Case - Rugged Men's Bands for SE/Series 6/5/4 - Stainless Steel Protective Cases - Drop-Proof & Shockproof by Sean Garrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Band is narrow and noisy

Due to the seller's good service, I have upgraded my rating from 1 star to 4 stars. The seller sent me a replacement leather strap because "metal strap is not for me". The leather strap is from the same brand "KaRtice", it looks and feels good and fits well. Regarding the metal strap, read my initial review below and see photo, especially note width of strap vs required width for the Stratos === My first review is below === I trusted the previous 3 reviews and it was the wrong one Decision any other seller who shows the same picture but sells cheaper. And the picture is not the same either, the group is similar, but not the same. The box says "Kartice, Shenzhen Chaolian Shengshi E-Commerce Co., Ltd." Nowhere on the box does it say "Amazfit Stratos," but there is a list of other watches. 22mm is not written anywhere. The width is about 1mm less than the Stratos. As if that wasn't enough, the telescopes inside the band are also very loose, causing it to bounce in all directions and make noise as it moves. Even telescopes are not protected against falling out. The original Amazfit strap doesn't have any of these issues, the strap is wider, the telescopes fit snugly on the rubber, and the telescopes are held in place and protected from falling out. As if this strap was invented by an idiot. The next thing I don't like is that I can adjust it either too tight or too loose in my case. A link has a length of about 1.5 times more adjustment steps on the original elastic. I went with the attitude it feels too loose and it's very loud and still feels scratchy despite loosening. I'm also not a (very) heavyweight fan. Addendum: Now when a call comes in, the watch vibrates, it sounds like a loose heap of scrap metal about to fall apart.

Pros
  • Cell Phones & Accessories
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
