Review on Surace Stainless Steel Link Bracelet Replacement For Apple Watch Series 4 44Mm Band With Butterfly Folding Clasp Compatible For Apple Watch 42Mm Series 3/2/1(Silver) by Barry Shaker

I purchased the Silver Link bracelet and I'm happy to say it looks exactly like what you would expect. It actually looks quite amazing with a very decent finish. I chose the silver since a black metal band is more likely to show signs of wear and scuffing.As many of you are aware this is a 'budget conscious' design meant to mimic Apple's link design with cost savings where ever possible. Apple products are well known to be expensive, but their engineering and design standards are quite high. It's easy to mimic a look but it's not so easy to make it as polished. Luckily this band only has minor concessions when it comes to design and finish. With a bit of sanding and polishing you can have a more comfortable band.Out the box I felt this band was a solid 3.5 stars, so it's a safe and effective buy. You aren't going to feel like you wasted your money. Amazingly there was no issue with a metallic smell so this band seems to be made of good material. It was easy to adjust and it fits the Apple Watch without issue.If you are curious what prevents it from being a 4 or 5 read on.So what isn't top quality when it comes to the design?1. The links are flat and lack a concave shape. If you take a look at a metal band watch you'll likely see the links have a big of a rounded dent. This helps them wrap around your wrist without pinching. This band lacks that feature and since it's rather flat it can feel a bit uncomfortable.2. There are rough edges everywhere. A watch band typically has each link finished separately but this band feels like it was put together and then run under a sander/polisher whole. This means it feels smooth to the touch when the band is flat, but when you wear it there are some rough, sharp edges that reveal themselves. Each link corner is rough and you don't want to run your finger across them. Likewise the inside of the band can also feel a bit rough.I mentioned some sanding and polishing earlier and that's meant to deal with #2. Using a high grit piece of sand paper I was able to remove most of the rough edges from the inside of the band. Not much material needs to be removed; just a microscopic layer. About 10 minutes of sanding and polishing and the band felt smooth and clean. Ended up wearing it for an entire work day without feeling uncomfortable. In addition I added some lubricant to the links to improve the feel and longevity. I've found myself wanting to take care of this band not because it needs it to function, but because it's so nice I want to keep it for longer.
