I am 27F and dress sporty/casual and I live a fairly active lifestyle. I’m indecisive and looking at this band. Does anyone have and love for both style and purpose?! Thanks!!

    I just bought a sports band from Nomad with this newfangled closure. Personally I would recommend a more classic style closure, with the lever that goes through the hole and locks stuff down.

    Reason: you could very easily pop this off your wrist playing sports. One tug on the tucked-in end and my watch would be hitting the ground at 9 meters per second squared.

    Why? Because it’s just stuck on a tiny 1/3 inch post. Looks cool but that’s style over function. I would NEVER recommend swimming with this closure - recipe for sending your watch to the bottom of the pool / lake / ocean.

    If you’re a big sweater this style is good but if you want something a little more feminine the sports loop is great

    you can buy any watch-band from wish and put it into the washing machine. add multi-colored napkins for additional effect.

    Apple should’ve made silicone cases for iPhones with this same stuff. Some idiots on crack came up with “Fine woven” crap and ruined it for everyone.

    I own this one but it has a pink hue under most lighting. I’ll probably return it for the black or white spackled band

    Got that band. I really like it, but not as much as I thought I would from pictures. The specks (at least on mine, might be different on other ones) are bigger than expected. I’d go see one in person first just to make sure

    I got this with my S4 5 years ago. For the first 2 years I wore it for swimming and running only but for the last 3 years it’s the only band I’m wearing now. So far no signs of damage but the buckle is a bit loose now so putting it on requires me to rest the watch between my wrist and something else or else the buckle will pop out while I insert the edge into the slot. But once it’s on it stays on.

    I have the white one with the starlight watch. It reminds me of sprinkles and it looks really nice with the color of my watch.
