Apple Watchband (Milanese Loop) Review: 42mm(Series 10)/41mm/40mm/38mm Silver – Is it Worth it?
Table of Contents
Introduction
The Apple Watch is a stylish and functional device, but its band options can be somewhat limited. Enter the third-party market, offering a wide variety of bands to personalize your Apple Watch. Today, we’re reviewing a silver Milanese Loop band, compatible with various Apple Watch sizes, including the latest Series 10. I’ve been wearing this band for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces in daily life. This review aims to provide a balanced and honest assessment of its quality, comfort, and overall value.
Features
This Milanese loop band is advertised as a stylish and comfortable alternative to Apple’s own offerings. Its magnetic closure is a key feature, allowing for quick and easy adjustment. The silver finish is sleek and professional, suitable for both formal and casual settings. The band itself is constructed from a finely woven stainless steel mesh, giving it a premium feel.
Performance & Durability
The magnetic clasp is surprisingly strong and secure. I haven’t experienced any accidental unclasping during workouts or daily activities. The band itself is durable and shows no signs of wear or tear after several weeks of use. The mesh material is breathable, preventing discomfort even during extended wear. However, the fine mesh can sometimes catch on clothing, requiring a bit of careful maneuvering. Cleaning is also a bit of a challenge – I recommend using a soft cloth and gentle cleaning solution to prevent scratching. The magnetic clasp is robust and has held up well. One unexpected plus is that the band has been surprisingly sweat resistant, and it has cleaned up easily following intense workouts.
