Perfect fit. Levels up looks off the band 10x

Much better than the strap that came with the watch. Easy to adjust. The part the watch sits in does show significant wear over time. Would recommend.

Overall very comfortable, sturdy, secure, good looking, easy to adjust. The only negative is that vibration feels much more mild than it did in my factory band. Getting the watch into the band the first time was a little difficult because the rubber gasket was not yet formed to the watch shape. It went in much easier after the first charge. To get the band on first time place the rubber gasket around the watch. Then apply a very light coat of soapy water to the outside of the rubber gasket, then insert it into the band from the back (per the instructions). After it sits in place for a week or two as you wear it the band adopts the watch shape and removal/insertion into the band becomes easier.

I got the rubber gasket onto the watch body and in right position. It is supposed to then be pressed into the replacement metal watch frame firmly until . I pressed it so hard I thought either the watch or the strap would break, but it will not hold. I've tried putting one end in first in to get it far enough to really grab, and then pushing the other end in. It is too loose to hold. The watch body will definitely fall out. The original watch band fits into a groove around the watch body, which holds great. This band does not snap into the groove. It just fills the groove with a rubber band, which is supposed to provide enough friction against the smooth flat walls of the watch frame. This is obviously an attempt to adapt a frame to fit different watch pieces, but it does NOT work with this Mi Band 5, and I have doubts that it would work well with any others.

This watch was a gift from my Husband a few years ago. I'm so used to it, it helps me with my everyday tasks and training, but the bands were an absolute mess. They didn't last. I bought several, and they all came with silicon, and with use, they broke. Hopelessly. So I figured I needed something stronger, and I think this is it; I will have my watch for more time thanks to this stainless steel band, and it looks so elegant; I love it!

Well, it is a tight fit and I question (hope) my Amazfit band 5 watch stays in place and doesn’t fall out. They provide rubber gaskets for both Band 3 & 4 and Band 5 & 6 watches which need to go around your watch, and then you insert it into the watchband frame. The directions say to “Push hard.” That’s for sure. I guess I would feel better if I felt it snap into place, but it does not. Apparently, the tight fit and rubber gasket against the metal watch band will be enough to hold it in place. We’ll see. Other than that, it looks great and the band itself seems solid. I included a couple pictures. Not the gap between the watch and the watchband frame.
