Element Case Black Ops Watch Band for Apple Watch Series 7/8 (45mm) - Heavy Duty, Boldly Unique, Metal Watch Band w/Adjustable Sizing Links - Black (EMT-522-258AZ-01)

Love the band but it brakes way to easy!

I bought this because it looked great. Followed the instructions, used the lock tight and within a couple weeks it fell apart. It is not durable for everyday use or workouts. It just looks cool. So if you’re into it looking good but lacking durability go for it. It’s an expensive band and very poorly constructed.

I'm torn as I write this. The band looked great. There are actually versions. The first is the one pictured here, black with red accents. The second is a black on black version that is a partnership with Tyson Beckford's Tyson Tactical brand. I have one of each. I have had to make 2 warranty claims on each as the plastic will crack along the face and where the metal bars pass through the watch case, which is a huge disappointment.This watch band looks awesome and I get a ton of compliments when people see it. It's really heavy and takes some getting used to. I suspect that some users adjust the band to be too tight and that is possibly why they break as severely as they do, although each of mine have cracked twice and I don't wear he band tightly. I also do not work a physical job which is why it is so frustrating when it happens. On the other hand, Element Case's support is great. They have provided me with replacement parts each time I have needed them, including new links if the paint chipped off.Element Case makes some of the most durable phone cases on the planet. I have the Black Ops 5 X5 for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I'm sure I'll buy an element for my next phone as well. I don't think I will spend the money for any more of their watch bands unless they redesign the actual watch holder out of something different from polycarbonate.

It’s a sexy looking Ban except the paint chips off the band you would think it would be stainless steel for the price it is not ! The watch face cover is plastic and mine cracked I’ve had it about 2months can’t get my money back because of a 30 day return was told I would receive a full refund by Amazon do too multiple times 3 to be exact! I was sent broken pieces under warranty from seller policy! Do not purchase

The media could not be loaded.  I don’t understand the negative reviews, this band is heavy, feels good, very comfortable and lots of positive comments! I work in the Oil & Gas industry and wear this watchband 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for the last several months. I’ve had no issues, no complaints or scratches. Well worth the money to show off.

Once you get the Watch adjusted to your wrist, very comfortable and secure.My issue is the part of the band that surrounds the Watch is PLASTIC. Not even glass fiber reinforced plastic, but cheap injection molded trash. The band is super beefy, but the most important part you’d want to be strong is cheap garbage. Very disappointing, and definitely not worth the super premium price. Stay away from this companies products like the monkey pox.

Like the look & durBlity. But it will not unfasten . To get it off we have to use Allen wrench a take out screw

Crap product the housing is plastic but the band is all metal, who tf does that, it broke within the first hr
