Comfortable, and works great with my Vivoactive 4S!
I purchased this band for my Garmin Vivoactive 4S and it works perfectly. Adjusting for length was simple enough, and is a lot easier if you have a small flathead screwdriver to open and close the latch. It breathes really well, which is something I hated about the stock silicone band. I've had issues with cheaper mesh/milanese bands snagging on clothes and other textiles, but this one has not. I've also not had it pull my hair, save the few times I've gotten some caught in the quick release latch. I'm pretty fuzzy, so it's performing pretty well.The material seems to be proper stainless steel, as it is not magnetic in the slightest, which is very good.There are two small reasons I can't give this five stars. One, the crimped metal bit that terminates the end of the band has slightly sharp edges. Definitely not enough to cut, and you can't feel it while the watch is on, but I was still a little disappointed.The other reason, it would be nicer if the band had a little bit finer adjustment for size. This probably wouldn't be a big deal for a normal watch, but a precise fit is important for the heart rate and pulse-ox sensors in smartwatches.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, and still recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish band for their watch.

fraying edge
Edge of mesh is fraying. Looks really bad in person and assuming its just going to get worse. Any attempt to wear this with a long sleeve will surely cause damage to the fabric. Its really unfortunate, customer is the loser.. returning it will now cost me an hour of my day. Seller should definetly pay more attention to the quality of the product especially during a pandemic.

In Depth Review
Wristology 16mm Quick Release Shark Mesh Stainless Steel Bracelet ReviewThe Bad: Packaging did not come with directions on how to adjust the female clasp, which would be useful to those new to this type of strap.The okay: Quick release pins are okay, not terrible... not great...but somewhere in the middle. They're useful but don't have much springiness.The good: Looks great with the pictured Vostok Amohibia NVCH-30 at 38mm that has 17mm swing lugs that were modified .45mm each side to allow for this 16mm bracelet. Band is not super reflective, which works with brushed or older 'beat up' polished stainless cases. Very easy to adjust the clasp right out of the box, where many other cheap brands can be almost impossible to open or close. This clasp holds my large heavy Russian dive watch all day without releasing. Overall it's pretty breathable and comfortable to wear as well without being a hair puller (it does tug every once in a while, however).For $24.99, it's worth upgrading from a cheap and crappy $10 band that you'll be unsatisfied with.

LOOKS awesome, cheap, but quality is eh.
This thing looks great. It has a signed clasp, and the super fine mesh catches the light just right without being overly flashy. It’s even super easy to install with its quick-release spring bars.BUT, the edges are sharp, and they catch on anything you wear. Mine already has fuzzy lint caught on the edges that takes ridiculous effort to remove, and I’ve only worn it twice (I never felt confident wearing it bc of quality). Quality is also evident when sizing this bracelet, as the first time I went to unlatch the sizing clasp, the mechanism bent my screwdriver from being so stiff. I only had this problem the first time though, so I guess you just need to “break it in” once or twice and it’ll be easy from there.Otherwise, it’s budget-friendly and it looks cool, so if you never intend to wear it with sleeves, this might work for ya

Meh. Depends on what you're looking for.
I don't leave reviews but this watch band has been such a strange experience I felt like I should. First Amazon shipped it to CONNECTICUT when I'm in California. Then the UPS truck got delayed because of a truck fire on the highway - the package even had some carbon on it, but no damage. Just a lot of very weird delays for something that was supposed to be next day delivery. Other than shipping to the other side of the country, Amazon can't be blamed for freak accidents that cause delays.Then I finally got the band. It's decent quality. The mesh feels pretty nice. The latch is solid. It's super thin metal mesh straps, so it looks weird with my thick Garmin Vivomove 3S. But that might be a good thing for other watch faces. The quick release unfortunately feels wobbly. And I wouldn't call the color a proper gold, it's more like a very yellow brass shade which doesn't match my smart watch at all. it compliments it but its such a dark yellow gold-brass shade I personally don't find it very attractive. I added photos because if there were more reviews showing the gold color I wouldn't have picked this up and kept looking for a better color match.

Sleek and strong looking
I have an REI watch that I wear outside when I am doing chores, so it gets dirty and sweaty. The original band is fabric and so I have to take it off regularly to scrub it. I wanted something I could switch out with and chose this for durability. I like the look as I have metal mesh in some of my other watch bands. Getting it on was a snap with the type of sliding lock that attaches to the watch. But, I gave it 4 stars because I had to manipulate the little hook that snaps into the bracelet closure. The way the hook was angled the band would not lay flat on the inside of my wrist. After using one of my small jewelry pliers to change the angle, it now snaps in place as it should.

UPDATE ON PREVIOUS REVIEW
Nice looking.ComfortableProblem is with the clasp. It unhooks very easy and fell off my wrist twice just reaching in a pocket.Needs a secondary clasp. I am going to put my old band back on before I lose my watch.Do not recommend this is u value your watch.I made a very small tweek to the clasp on the watch band to ensure it securely snaps into position and it is working fine. Still think a little different clasp would enure it does not pop apart.I feel that it is working fine now and have given it a better rating. Band itself is very comfortable.
