SpigenLite 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.

This is an excellent band. I swapped it for the Pixel 3 silicone Sports Band with the air holes I had purchased previously which costs twice as much. Contrary to some other reviews, it attaches in less than a minute if you have previous experience attaching Pixel watch bands. The trick is to start with the band partially covering the disconnect button and sliding inward, locking it in place. Once you master this, you can remove or attach bands in seconds. My only gripe is the buckle tends to occasionally loosen when putting the watch on your wrist which requires a quick adjustment to tighten it.

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 😊.
