I love mine and actually paid a jeweler 90 bucks to remove two more links for me because I have an extra small wrist (127 MM) and on the 38 MM link band you can only remove 8 links - i needed 10 out so it wouldn't slide and lock up on me. Love it!! watch_face.jpg

After buying two different version clone bands, I finally decided to go with the real thing. Bottom-line....there is no comparison between the clones and the official Apple band. The attention to detail, fit and finish is superb. It is also noticeably lighter than the cheap steel used in the clones. One test I did was simple....run your finger along the band when on your wrist and the links meld perfectly from watch to clasp it feels like a fine piece of jewelry. The clones all feel rough and don't flow into each other, particularly at the clasp.
Frankly, it was worth every penny.

How is yours holding up? Do you wear it daily?

I occasionally wear other bands, but the link is holding up nicely. Just the usual scratches one gets on a watch bracelet from desks and what not. The more broken in looking, the better.

I wish I could afford the link, maybe on the next watch version (or the next one with LTE & GPS). My version 2 clone looks great, and people constantly mistake it for the apple band (except the clasp). No gaps, and looks great.
