Create a free and secure space for your group to communicate better. While the band may come in two colors, the steel buckle only comes in a black powder-coated option. BAND is the free communication app for groups trusted by team leaders around the world. That buckle is an oval with a pin in the center and is a standard tang buckle that we'd usually see with NATO-style bands. We'd have preferred a bit more of an original take for the buckle, but it does get the job done. The silicone seems to aid in attaching them to your watch, while some metal lugs can be tight and get stuck if not aligned perfectly straight. The lugs slide in without hiccup and are released just as easily when you want to remove them. When putting the band on, it feels very smooth and secure. Back in the early Apple Watch release days, this wasnt an issue.

Having to find the band (if its available) and pack it together with the watch complicates the whole process. Both the lugs are hidden in the silicone, while the buckle feels more like a traditional buckle. The fact that Apple wont let us order the watch by itself is one of the biggest reasons of delays. Stainless steel hardware is built-in, embedded into the silicone. That said, with extreme force, it can be prone to tearing. The color choice is a good middle route that isn't seen all that often.īy its nature, the silicone used in the strap repels water and will hold up to most scratches it comes across. Sage, as one can see in the photos, is a light pastel green color.
