Silicone Band Compatible with Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm Bands, Breathable Waterproof Sport Replacement Strap for Pixel Watch 3 Band 45mm Women Men (Black)

This band has no right to be as good as it is for how cheap it is. It's my go-to gym or exercise band. I also sleep with it. Comfortable, great adjustability, and the lugs fit absolutely perfectly. They slide right in and they're nice and tight with absolutely no slop. I've bought probably close to 6-8 bands now and somehow this cheap one is one of the best out of everything.

Fit my Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm just fine. Goes on and off with ease, or relatively same as the original Google band. I wanted a band with more breathability, so I chose this. I like the bright orange for something a little different.The band looks like it would be a better fit for sizing since it has so many extra holes, BUT the further out you need to go the less there is to tuck away, which really what keeps this securely in place. I really cant go any further out because then there wont be enough overlap to tuck away. My wrist is 7", so not all that big to accommodate.I can handle that overall. The part that bugs me is the little nub that gets pressed into the hole/slot of choice. It is shallow. I dont feel more secure, I feel less so than the original band. On the original band, the nub is taller and has a sort of mushroom top that helps secure it in place. This barely has that mushroom top. It is pretty much same size from top to base. Take a closer look at the product pictures they provide. You can see it there. Easily missed, but with closer inspection I can totally see how it is flush with the slot used.It needs that little bump out at the top to help hold the band from popping off. NOW, combine that with the shorter overlap of the band (remember, the overlap gets tucked away as the final step to secure it), and this isnt something I would want to rely on to stay securely in place through various activities. If you have smaller wrists, then you will have more overlap, and hence more secure fit.That being said, it hasn't actually fallen off of me. I have primarily just been home, a bit of a couch potato during these extra cold days. Perhaps this will stay on, and I am just nitpicking. Yet, I paid a lot of money for the watch, so I expect the band to give me confidence.OH, and to add to my comment about the nub being short and pretty much all one size, when I go to take this on or off, it immediately pops off when I feed the overlap back through. SO yeh, the overlap needs to be longer, and the nub needs to be bigger. The nub easily releases from the notch when taking on or off the wrist. Kind of annoying when just wanting to quickly adjust.Think I have said all I can say. I like the color, I like the ease of changing out the band, but the sense of a secure feel is lacking. Smaller wrists will at least benefit from more overlap. For me, I will be shopping for something else, perhaps a true watch band style so at least everything will be secure at the closure points for sure.3.5 stars.

Awkward to fasten, no loop to hold the end of the strap while fastening.

Bought other adapters to 22mm bands for the Pixel 3 45mm but they took too much force to put on, to the point I thought the lugs on the watch would break. This band installed as seamlessly as the original band. Got this for the air vents, works well. Same size as the original band (large).

This is an inexpensive watchband, so I am not too critical of it given the price. It looks good and has more airflow than the watchband that came with my watch.I attached a few pictures comparing it to the original watchband.A few things to note- I find this harder to put on my wrist than the watchband that came with my watch. With the original watchband, I can quickly see the correct hole that matches my wrist and clasp it with one hand. With this watchband, I am just guessing and it takes more effort to keep the band in place so I can clasp it properly.-Although it is harder to put on, it is easier to take off. Compared to the original, this feels less secure.-The watchband has a slight odor. It has mostly dissipated after a few days.

Does not fit pixel watch 3. Slot it in, comes right out. Can see in photo the attachment is different.

Fits well, super comfortable.

The band was loose on the watch at the connection point.
