The band itself is nice quality and looks attractive. I measured my wrist as suggested and my measurement was on the lower end for a medium band so I purchased a medium, and I wish I had sized down to a small. The band was just a little loose when I first got it, but not too bad. Livable. After less than two weeks of wear it has stretched a bit and is now uncomfortably loose. I’m constantly adjusting it. As I use my watch quite a bit at work (I work at a school) I will probably unfortunately have to purchase a different band. It is also starting to look a bit dingy already, which is quicker than I expected. I will try to find the cleaning recommendations. These are comfortable, fashionable, and seem to be of good quality so far, I would just size down on a band.
