Meliya Metal Watch Bands, 20mm 22mm Quick Release Watch Strap, Stainless Steel Mesh Replacement band for Women Men

I love this band. I bought it to enhance my new Amazfit Active 2. I prefer metal bands but was interested in this one based on its look, lighter profile, and higher adjustability than many other bands. For some reason, I became fairly picky about watch bands. Sometimes I end up trying more than one band after I buy a new watch before I feel like it fits well, functions well, and looks good with the watch. I bought this one and my search was over. Pros: - IMO looks pretty nice between a matte and gloss finish, so even in black it has a subtle but not overbearing sheen. The metal texture is very nice. Feels trivial to write but I realize I still like to just look at it every so often because it looks good. - Very breathable for metal, and I prefer it to any leather, silicone, or metal band I've used before. It's heavier than a leather, silicone, or cloth band of course, but I barely noticed it after the first day. I tend to sweat a lot so this feature is very welcome to me. - Adjustability is infinite all the way to the end of the claps, and relatively fast without needing to fuss with a metal-and-tang action or resizing kit. I didn't think this would matter to me as much as it did, but now I can't see myself ever going back to one of those actions. - The two-magnet mechanism is IMO pretty brilliant. It's well balanced to be robust and not slip, but it's not gripping so tight that it's annoying to manage. I only really notice slips if I directly snag it on something, and I'd rather the band slide slightly than damage itself, the watch, or something else. Very nicely done. - After just a bit of practice, the action is smooth and intuitive and mostly easy to get on and off. Potential cons (all conditional): - As at least one other reviewer mentioned a bigger hand might have a little trouble. I have fairly wide hands and for me, there's exactly one angle in which I can get the watch on or off, which was a relief because I like this thing so damn much. However, it may be useful to know in advance. There's (likely) plenty of room at the wrist if it fits over your hand unless you are a silverback gorilla. - Depending on where and how the clasp sits under your wrist when doing something like typing, you might find a pressure point or two. I found this didn't matter with a little adjusting for me, but worth mentioning (as would be the case with any band). - I've only been using it for a week, but I'm not sure if the black finish will wear or fade with time. I've put it through a few abuses already and it seems unaffected, but we'll see in 6-12 months. - If you like those big-faced or thick smartwatches, this one might seem a little TOO slim to you, YMMV. Solid 5/5 for me overall, especially at this price point.

Great watch band. Easy to install and the magnets are strong. It stays out nicely. I love it.

I am using this band with a Garmin Forerunner 645 Music. Pros: - It’s definitely more durable than another similarly priced metal watch band I previously purchased on Amazon. This was a pleasant surprise, since I assumed they were the same item being sold by different storefronts. - The magnetic closure makes adjustments and on/off quicker and easier. It’s also easier to get just the right length for your wrist in comparison to other closure styles. The magnet is strong and seems to stay in place well. - The color is nice and it looks prettier than the black band my watch came with. - Initially, it feels lighter and more comfortable than silicone/plastic bands. - I’ve worn it in the shower and on runs and it hasn’t rusted or degraded. Cons: - After longer periods of wear, it starts to feel like it’s rubbing or chafing my skin a bit and can be uncomfortable. - It is very easy to lose the pins when not in use or while installing, as they aren’t connected to the band and they are very small. Exercise caution during install and store in a closed container or plastic bag. - The mesh can occasionally snag fabric but it’s pretty smooth and this isn’t very common. Be careful with really delicate fabrics. Because it starts to chafe after wearing it for a long time, I use it when I want my watch to look nicer but I don’t typically use it for daily wear.

Color was a perfect match to band being replaced. Easy to attach to watch face. No rough edges to snag clothes. Double magnet keeps band secure.

The good: It looks nice. It fits my watch fine. It uses magnets, so you always get a perfect fit. The bad: The two sides do not full separate, so if you have to set your watch on a charge, that causes complications. The edges are not polished smooth, so it can feel sharp on your wrist.

This watch band really works. I had doubts about the magnetic band but it's actually really good. Exquisite craftsmanship. I think I'm the proud new owner of a life long watch band. And all for around $20. This is great buy it! The only thing I would change is more color options.

I bought a used Skagen dress watch with a cloth band and wanted to upgrade to something more stylish and original looking. This strap was inexpensive and I liked the woven metal design. I am very pleased with it. It snapped right in place on the watch with the quick release pins, no problem. It could not be easier to use. It's kind of like a backpack strap. Just lift the loose end of the strap away from your wrist to release the buckle/clasp/whatever you call it, pull on the strap to adjust the length, and then lower it back down to your wrist. The clasp fastens automatically with a magnet, and another magnet holds the loose end of the strap in place. It holds firmly with no slip. I mean, it's not going anywhere under normal use. Another nice feature is that the strap loosens but does not separate completely like a buckle, so it can't fall off or be removed by a street magician. It has to slide off over your hand. Also you don't have to thread a buckle to put it on. This would be great for someone with impaired dexterity. You only need to be able to pinch the end of the strap to put it on. Removal is also easy. Lift the top strap and pinch the bottom strap close to the clasp to hold it open while pulling the strap open. Edit: I can confirm what other users have reported. The magnet did interfere with my watch. Now when I take it off, I open the strap fully and place the watch on its side, so the band forms an open ring and the magnet is not against the back of the watch, and that has solved the problem.

My wife loves it. It comfortable and easy to strap on. The magnet was a great idea to use on this strap. It was easy to install onto her watch.
