Eat your heart out, Apple! Here's quality.
I've purchased 2 different expensive Apple watchbands and found myself being greatly disappointed in both of them. So I decided to see what else was out there and after some research, I discovered the JUUK Ligero Premium Apple Watchband in the Polished Obsidian Black. I love this watchband, it's very comfortable and light and it looks so amazingly good on my wrist. The color actually matches the watch face so everything works well together. The quality is obviously there and you can see that attention was paid to every detail. I can find nothing to complain about with this band. I especially like the double butterfly clasp. Easy to use, opens wide enough for easy on/off, and it latches securely. No worries about it becoming undone by accident. The band is machined to fit my Apple Watch perfectly, easily sliding in and out. Where I did encounter a slight problem was after I had attached one side of the band to the watch. Since this band is put together very solidly with hardly any side to side play or looseness, I had a little bit of difficulty attaching the other end of the band to the watch because I didn't watch the supplied video. You have to get it lined up just right before it will go in easily. Once there though, it slides in as easy as can be and locks firmly. However, if I had first gone to the JUUK website and clicked on FAQ, then watched the little video, I would have known exactly how to slide the band on without any of the problems I encountered trying to do it my way. Stupid me.I have a fairly small wrist and had to take out 2 links to get that perfect fit. Again, if you go to their website and click on FAQ, you will see a video that shows you exactly how to use the special tool to get the job done. I had a little trouble getting the last 1/16" the pin to go in because you have to have the links lined up just right and I'm a klutz. However, once I got used to it, it was really no problem at all. The second link was much faster and easier than the first link. Then I decided to try to remove one of the smaller links to really dial in the size. This may have been a mistake and I'm not totally sure the small links were supposed to be removed. I thought I read somewhere that it was designed so you could take the smaller links out or any combination of links to get your fit just right but I couldn't find that particular passage again to be sure. At any rate, that last link was the hardest of all to remove. I actually bent the pin in the process. Fortunately, JUUK supplies extra pins with the watchband for just this possible problem. The only con I can think of was that while the tool provided worked very well, I kept being afraid I was going to bend or break it. The design of it was obviously well thought out but I felt it should have had a more solid feel to it, maybe made from a different material.Now I've just got to mention the excellent customer service. I had a problem with Amazon's delivery. It was claimed that the band was delivered directly into my hand when in fact, unbeknownst to me, it was hidden in the bushes outside my front door. So naturally, I contacted JUUK about not receiving my package, not knowing that JUUK actually pays Amazon to handle all deliveries. I have never had such a fast response from a vendor in my life. Eugene answered my email within minutes and even though it wasn't his worry but Amazon's, he jumped right in to help solve the problem. Furthermore, every email or reply I sent him afterward was also answered in minutes.So to sum up. I received an excellent quality band from a company that stands behind its product and provides excellent customer support and service. Be sure to go to their FAQ page for all the tutorial videos and information you will need or you can contact Eugene. Since this watch is still new to me, I can't as yet speak to its durability and longevity though I've worn it for a couple of weeks now and it still looks brand new without a single scratch or mark on it. I'm really rough on everything I own so this is commendable. With the excellent materials used coupled with the superfine workmanship, I am led to believe that I will have no worries in the future. Should something occur, I will update my review. Bottom line, I am very happy with both my watchband and the company which manufactures it and I would recommend this to anyone who also wants a quality and fashionable product.

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and quality
Purchased this band in polished black for my space black stainless 42mm Apple Watch and I am blown away.First off, it matches perfectly. You will not find a better, cleaner, more seamless look for this particular Apple Watch. It looks like it is part of the Watch itself, not like something added on.The band showed up too large for my wrist, but with the included tool, it was very simple to size it to the exact length needed. Now it feels like part of my wrist.The band itself is very lightweight, though it looks like it would be heavy, the aluminum weighs about the same as the sport band from Apple. You barely notice it’s weight at all.I have a few other bands, but it will be difficult for me to ever wear any of them, because this one looks and feels so damn good. 100% happy with my purchase and it is worth every single penny.

Does not fit Series 4 Apple Watch
Although this band is very beautiful, light, and overall amazing, it sadly does not fit the Series 4 Apple Watch (44mm). I know most bands do fit but this one did not. I am so very sad to return this.

Definitely a “statement” in terms of the rainbow - gorgeous.
I felt like this was a bit extravagant - I have the apple black stainless link bracelet and it’s like $450 and it’s held up great and looks new. Sometimes the clasp is a little finicky and it can pop open but it’s still a nice, premium band. It’s low profile and very nice, but a bit boring.But alas, I wanted something bold and bought the rainbow version of this band. First off, it’s striking, pictures don’t quite do it justice. The colors are really amazing. The construction, the link system, and the clasp are all top notch. The click mechanism with the crimped sleeve and pin is brilliant - very secure and fairly easy to remove links. It is a bit thick / beefy / even chunky, but that doesn't mean it's any less gorgeous and I feel like the thickness enhances the whole aesthetic. If you want low, low profile, then look elsewhere.Only complaint is, it’s not easy to reconnect the links!!! They include a decent tool to remove the links, works fine. When reinserting the pin, you need to then nudge it that last 0.1mm into the link and it’s easy to scratch or dent a link. I’ve watched the videos, but to me, this is the only downside. Once you get it right though - this becomes a non issue, really.Regardless, LOVE the color, vibrancy, design, overall “vibe” and quality - what I don’t like is that one small but important gripe.

Juuk Ligero - Long Term Investment in Quality - Should Outast Current Iteration of Apple Watch
I have the Apple Watch 42mm Series 2 Aluminum Space Gray. I purchased a couple of replica leather bands and a Milanese band (with buckle vs. loop) on Amazon. I wanted a really nice well made durable metal band that I could wear everyday, including swimming. The Juuk Ligero in Obsidian Gloss Black looks like it will fill the bill. I am a picky 63 year old that likes quality. I take care of things and expect them to last. This band was more expensive than some of the cheaper replica bands on Amazon, but this Juuk Ligero band isn't a replica, it's an original. It is superb quality and hopefully will outlast the technology of the Series 2 and so long as Apple doesn't change the mounts, it will mount on future Apple Watches. At $138 on Amazon (including shipping) I looked at this band as a long term investment (longer than the Apple Watch itself) like you would a precision quality watch. This band exudes quality. The butterfly clasp works and looks great hidden under the links. No snagging of arm hairs (and I've got a few). Sizing and mounting was easy following Eugene's online video. (One thing I would recommend to people have trouble mounting the band to the Apple Watch, to avoid the binding that some have mentioned, try mounting both sides simultaneously, alternating from side to side until it is securely fastened, and remember to push the magnets in so they can slide into the Apple Watch).
