Looks Great but Poor Materials
on January 14, 2026
Posted by: Mack
from South FL
The fit and fitment of the band is excellent. The retention loops or the tail are permanently-affixed and well spaced. The color is great, the durability is very good, and the band is very comfortable.
However, after only about 6 weeks of winter-wear the band smells awful - like it has soaked up a gallon of sweat. And worse, the band trapping all of that on what particular consistent-pressure spot on my wrist has caused a rash.
I am very disappointed that poor material choice by Samsung left me to hurriedly find replacement options.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
