“A little flexing was required when first getting the new band on. Comfortable. Easier to wear after taking off a few times to charge. The holding loop is not quite as smooth as genuine Apple ones and the band end is a little rough. Not bad but not Apple quality control. It's close though and for the price and quick delivery I think this is a great buy. It's my second purchase and won't be my last - bring on the next special % off sale :)”
