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 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 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 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 😊.

I'm a massive fan of Spigen's products, and they grace everything from my phone case and screen protector to my Tesla's floor mats and organizer bins. So, I was excited to see Spigen had a watch band for my newly acquired Pixel Watch. 3. Sadly, this thing is a real let down.First, let me interject before other reviewers get on their high horse, I did read the product description, and I was aware it's a stretch band. I like stretch bands. This thing barely has any stretch to it. It's very stiff and unforgiving. Maybe you'll like that, perhaps you won't. It wasn't a dealbreaker either way for me, but it seemed oddly lacking in the stretch department given the product description.The bigger issues for me were the fit and the latch quality. In terms of fit, I never could get this thing to feel comfortable on my wrist. The material is a bit scruffy and unpleasant on the skin, and coupled with that lack of stretch I mentioned, kind of makes it unpleasant to wear. It always felt either too tight or too loose, and I never could get it just right, and when it came close, the effort of taking it on or off caused it to lose that positioning I had it at, so I had to start over every time I took it off to charge.Back to the lack, though — this thing was a nightmare to get on my watch, and even more so to get it off. I'm not sure if my unit is defective, but it took a screwdriver and two people to get it disconnected. The band was firmly stuck to the watch, and it took a good 15 minutes of effort for us to get it free. It doesn't appear to have damaged the latch, thankfully, and the new band I put on is working fine, so I'm not sure what happened. Probably just a defective unit, as I haven't seen others complain about it, but just a heads up.
