I wanted a band for my Apple Watch that would look good for everyday while capable of going to the gym and pool. Anyone with the sport band that came with the watch will know what I mean. That one worked effectively, but it had little style and got sweaty under the band, etc. Also didn't want to spend a lot on it. Just wanted something okay for getting wet, would dry well, and not look crappy. Plus, try finding a band that can get wet that doesn't cost a small fortune. The velcro sports bands didn't instill confidence. I picked the blue color to try out.The 'pros.' Came promptly, with instructions on how to install and deal with the extra length if you have a small wrist. I have a small wrist and always have a lot of band left over so how to "neat" that up was appreciated. It's easy to install and put on and off. And the company followed up to make sure I was satisfied and had no problems. After a 2-week vacation where it took a beating in the ocean, pool, a lot of showers, exercise and washing, it fulfilled my needs quite nicely and still looks good. With no rash under the band, no color fading, easy to put on, it's a keeper. I like it enough that I'm still wearing it and haven't switched to my leather band. People have commented on the cool color.The semi "cons." When it first came it was a little stiff, which is the only way to describe it, and I was concerned about comfort and whether it would be durable. After a few days of wearing, it was more flexible and comfortable. I will admit that when I first opened the package there was a tinge of disappointment. It seemed not so great. Let's face it, you're not paying 60 bucks for this and shouldn't expect it to be like the ones on display in the Apple Store. If I'd written my review right then, it might have gotten 3 stars, at best 4. However, for the price and utility, it's a great deal. I might have given it 4 1/2 stars but truth is for the price, it's a good deal if you're looking for a decent sports band that has some style and utility. It also appears to be more durable than my first impression.I only give 5 stars for something I'd buy again without hesitation. This band gets 5 stars because I'm planning on getting some additional colors.
