Spigen Lite Fit Designed For Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm Band Nylon Solo Loop Strap (2024) - Black

Purchased this for the new Pixel watch 3, alongside the "Spigen Liquid Air Designed for Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm Case Anti-Scratch Protective Soft TPU Cover Case (2024) - Matte Black" (shown in the photos).It's a stretch band, know that going in. I did not adjust it befor trying it on, just installed (easy) and it was good to go. It's a bit tight to get on your arm but once there, it's locked into place and 'moves' with you since it's stretchy. It's not ripping arm hairs out or anything of the sort.Band isn't 'rough' like some others are saying, it's not soft by any means but who's rubbing this on their body?Lugs snap into place as you'd expect.Feels very secure compared to the stock band (even spigens other more 'rugged' looking band). Doesn't get 'hot' like the stock band either.It's wide, but the buckle isn't in the way or HUGE. It's a very masculene fit to be sure.SPigen doesn't disapoing, highly reccomend this band as well as the Liquid Air case.

I almost exclusively buy Spigen accessories for my phones and wearables. They fit right between good quality and good price. But... this ain't it chief. I have their elastic band for a Apple Watch SE and my recently traded-in Pixel 2 watch. They were durable, comfortable, and easy to adjust.It's like some Chinese knockoff company made these and used Spigen label. Spigen is a Korean company and, like many companies, has China as one of their main manufacturer country. And that's totally fine, but Spigen still has to give the green light in quality.1. Material - they invented a new material! They made sand paper elastic.2. Adjustment - ever tried rubbing sand paper together? Adjust the length is difficult, to say the least.3. Durability - yeah, okay, I'd imagine these will last a very long time without wear and tear... on shelvesI've only relatively few Spigen product that made me dumbfounded. Not enough to give up on the brand, but annoyed enough that I over compensate with an overpriced device brand sold accessory (in this case, it would be via Google store). In my mind, Spigen is my "cheap" alternative and I'm not going to buy cheaper junk from random newly opened Chinese brand. Sigh... you win some and you lose some. This, though, is a lose (no spigen band) lose (expensive google sold) :(. Maybe I should blame google for making such garbage band to come with the watch to start with...edit 10/7:A small portion of review seem to like the band and as one reviewer mentioned, it's subjective. I am comparing this band to other Spigen watch bands of similar/equivalent band model. So, I believe my comparison is 100% relevant, but I also don't disagree with the non-contradicting (to my review) good reviews.I definitely don't want to deter people, so give it a try. Amazon returns are simple if you don't like it. Maybe Spigen even put out a "updated" version of the band without advertising it, so new buyers get a completely difference experience from us "day 1" buyers. Spigen is still my to-go mobile brand for now. It's a good brand and good value, so even if this band doesn't work out, I encourage to try them again for a different product.

I originally had the PW1 and used that version of this band. I really loved that version as it was soft and flexible. The PW3 45mm version looks the same but it's stiffer and not as flexible. It does improve with use but even after 3 months of use. It's nowhere near as soft as the PW1 version. I still love it and would buy it again.

I have seen a few reviewers complain about this band and I am not sure why. Compared to the stock band this is a great replacement, the band itself feels good, does not have a rough patch. Adjustment is a breeze and stays exactly put. I believe this is worth it if you do not want something flashy but simple. Has quite a bit of stretch for removal. I paired this with the Spigen watch cover and it works flawlessly. First time purchasing a Spigen product and I am a happy customer 😊.

Let me start this by saying I have multiple Spigen products and have been happy with each one, from multiple phone cases for Pixel and iPhone, as well as their 45mm Pixel Watch 3 Liquid Air case, but this unfortunately is a big disappointment for their items. Firstly, I ordered on September 6th, but didn't get it until 20 days later on the 26th. No matter as I expected a new product to be hit hard by folks wanting a good brand band. Now, I've had this band for about 10 days now, and the initial setup was reasonably ok, despite having bare bones instructions in picture format only.That said, it is nearly impossible to adjust tighter while wearing, so you have to take it off multiple times to find the sweet spot of tight enough to not fall off, but not so tight you cut off blood supply to your hand. And with this, it sometimes loosens over time and needs to be re-adjusted over and over. Additionally, if you wear it all day as I do for both step tracking, sleep tracking, etc., you may find that over time the inner part of the band will chafe, and in my case, cause the skin to peel, as it is not as smooth as one would think. The way the weave is makes the long ways smoother (rotating the watch around your wrist), than the short ways (taking it on or off), and that just gets uncomfortable over time.Overall, I feel it's an ok band at best, which is disappointing given the other Spigen products I have owned were stellar overall. The upsides are the lugs are solid as is the clasp that holds it though as mentioned it does slip now and then, but being solid metal does help sturdiness. If you need a band, consider this one as while it does have some flaws, it's still reasonably good, and feels much better than the included silicone band from Google.
