The bracelet is beautiful and durable. I can't compare myself to previous Spigen watch straps or any other brand - this is my first Apple Watch with a rubber strap. However, compared to the G-Shock, the design is on par and doesn't feel chunky on my wrist. I have a really small wrist and I'm on the last minute, there is a small concession, but the texture of the band basically keeps it in place. The tape does not move vertically, only slightly horizontally. So far, the heart rate monitor results have not changed, suggesting that the bracelet is quite snug around my wrist and in one spot. A slight "bounce" isn't enough for me to notice every minute, nor is it too unbearable to put it back in the box now, but if you have small wrists it could be a deal breaker. I like my watch to be snug on my wrist, and this one lacks that. Just one more hole would suffice where the carbon fiber inlets are. Due to the texture, the soft material of the shirt "scratches" on the sleeves, but that didn't bother me and I don't see anything wrong with it. pain in the future. I'm left-handed and wear a watch on my right hand. I usually have the crown on the watch on the left side (towards the fingers). When you do this with this strap, the text on the strap turns upside down and depending on how you like to wear the watch, the strap moves away from the body instead of closer to it. It was habit enough for me to switch the crown back to the right side of the watch, on my forearm. The crown is almost flush with the outer rubber case - it's cut out for the crown. There is enough space to slide/access it with ease. Cutouts are precise. I could do without the carbon fiber inlets at the base and top of the watch case, but I find that to be more of a personal preference. If they removed those entries and made an extra hole for one size, or made the entries smaller for another hole, the tape would be near perfect. For those who think carbon fiber air intakes can make a difference or affect your purchase, this isn't very noticeable. It resembles an active watch strap. Size wise my concern was that the main body was too big for my small wrist and being 44mm it fits well and doesn't look too bulky. Feel of protection, light weight with a nice lightly textured feel to keep the strap in place. Another hole would be nice for small wrists. It's not unbearable, but not having that sense of "safety" is enough. So women, teens or men with small wrists, measure your wrist first, I didn't do that. I docked a sprocket because the carbon fiber entry holes take up more space than Spigen could use to provide another size for small wrists. CF is not that important. There is a size.
