Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Bands 45mm/Galaxy Watch 5 Bands 44mm 40mm, 3 PACK No Gap Silicone Sport Bands Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Replacement Strap (Black

I ordered these three watch bands for my Samsung Watch 5 and settled on these over some type of metal band because I thought that the mesh metal band would have been uncomfortable when I was working out. These watch bands are very comfortable.These bands are easy to interchange and easy to adjust the sizing to make them more taught or less taught on your wrist. I also find the magnetic clasp to be more than strong enough to keep the watch on your wrist.

I love the new Watch 5 Pro...but the band is rather plain if I'm being honest. Watch still looks good. It still doesn't run as flawlessly as any of my previous Tizen-run Galaxy Watches (a fact I am not very happy with) but the Watch 5 Pro certainly runs better than my Galaxy Watch 4. Not sure why seeing as the internals aren't really any different other than a bigger battery, but I digress...I'm here to review the band.With the Watch 5 Pro they introduced a new style and I actually like it. The color got old however, and thanks to the watch being a neutral color, you can replace it easily with almost any color you can dream of and it should work pretty good. I chose the lighter blue color and it really looks great. Seriously, it looks better in person than in the photos, which is always a nice plus. It takes a bit of an effort to put it on the actual watch, but after you get one side on, the second should go much faster. The band is essentially exactly the same as the one that comes with the unit brand new, so if you already like that style and locking mechanism, you should really like this.It is adjustable exactly the same and that makes it a breeze to fit just right. The only difference I have noticed is the magnetic clasp doesn't seem quite as secure as the original band - but I don' think that is a bad thing. The original band was almost too secure if that makes sense. I have had zero issues with this new one, and it stays every bit as secure as the original, all without being as hard to remove, so I take that as a win-win.If you're looking to change up your band color, this is a really good option and a very inexpensive one, too - which is always nice. You don't have to go with Samsung (although that is fine if you do), just keep in mind those sold directly from them will run you considerably more, so keep that in mind.I love my band. Very well done.

I was initially pleased with the fit and function of this band for my Galaxy Watch, finding it comparable to the original in terms of performance. However, my satisfaction was short-lived. Within just a few weeks of use, I observed rust on the magnet, and to make matters worse, the magnet subsequently fell out of its mounting. Such a decline in quality in such a short time is not expected, especially for a product meant to accompany a premium device like the Galaxy Watch. I hope the manufacturer addresses this issue soon. Potential buyers might want to consider other alternatives or ensure that they receive a product from a good batch.

Fantastic replacement bands. Swapping out was super fast and these bands are all good quality. They look great and feel great on the wrist.

I was bored with my band color but liked the feel and style of the original band. These may be a hair thinner than the original but otherwise looks, feels and operates the same as the original band with the bonus of having so many color options to choose from! It was easy to install without needing any tools or cursing!

First, let's establish that although these gapless silicone bands are a decent replacement for the OEM band from Samsung, especially given the significant difference in price point between this brand's offerings & direct replacement purchase from Samsung. That said, it should be noted upfront that "decent" is very subjective and in no way is intended to imply that this manufacturer uses materials of equivalently high quality to that of Samsung, nor is it meant to lead others to believe these will offer the same level of fit and finish as the OEM band that shipped with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.The silicone band material is soft and comfortable overall but this was ultimately so soft & smooth that the clamping mechanism just could not grab & keep an adequately firm hold on the silicone to consistently maintain the correct size...leading to countless frustrating moments when what should have been a one-handed operation to put the watch on, suddenly required both hands and bunch of wasted time to completely readjust the sizing mechanism in order for it to be wearable. This reached a critical mass by the 2nd month and the clamp(s) became so loose that I was forced to get creative and employ some clear UV-cured liquid epoxy to permanently bond the clamp-on portions of the clasp to the corresponding section of the silicone bands...surprisingly it held reliably over the past 6 months with the Loc-Tite brand glue I chose to use.Now, the real bummer is that I didn't get a year out of the band before the most fragile & weakest point in the clasp design finally failed spectacularly without warning. You can see in photo 1 that it wasn't a loss of the hinge-pin that caused the clasp to come apart the way my OEM band did. This hinge-point on the clasp literally sheared apart, leaving a very sharp & nasty jagged bit of exposed metal and no means by which to reattach the two sections of the clasp even temporarily.Also, of note in photos 2 & 3....the neodymium rare earth magnets used on the clasp were not nicely painted or epoxied over in the same matte black finish as the rest of the metal clasp, they were bare and unprotected from sweat & moisture which resulted in both magnets rusting and seemingly becoming brittle over time so I trust they would not have survived much longer regardless of whether or not the hinge-point of the clasp failed first.Would I buy again? Well, I'm contemplating that very matter as I type this. If I do, I'll purchase one of the multi packs rather than single band because the savings on the 3 pack is frankly too good to pass up given that the for 3 dollars more, I get 2 additional bands in colors I wouldn't be opposed to using. That said, I certainly am not expecting the newer ones to last nor have a great fit or finish, at least based upon my previous experience.Hope this helps others to decide.Cheers!

I have bought multiple. Build quality feels and looks like factory samsung quality

Sure it looks good. But the magnet is much weaker than factory, frequently unclasping for no apparent reason. Then it unclasped while closing the car door and the magnet clip band pin failed. I'm done. PLEASE SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY on a different band. I regret this purchase.
