Clear Watch Band for Apple Watch 38mm 40mm 41mm Jelly Crystal Bumper Case Band for Women Men Compatible with Apple iWatch Series 9 8 SE 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (clear 38/40/41mm)

this is the second year in a row that I buy this watchband. This time I bought the one with glitter. It matches every outfit for the most part. I wear it during the day and have no problems as far as comfort goes. I use it to run and lift weights. It’s a great price for how nice it is and inexpensive.

Como lo pedi

Cool design that can be worn with various combinations.

I ordered the green 2 years ago and have worn it nearly every day, for ~19 hrs and it only just recently started to crack where the band bends and eventually the band securing loop broke off. I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner, I’ve snagged my watch band working on things so hard I’ve hurt my wrist. Another toro about this band is it protects your watch face and things around you (I’ve had other bands and or the watch itself damage objects I’ve slammed into or snagged when working (i do a lot of work with my hands, tools etc doing repairs).I had also ordered the clear at the same time (2yrs ago) but it yellowed as expected in a few months (I believe it’s UV damage but is common with clear plastics in any case). Anyway, I wouldn’t wear the clear due to the yellowing so bought a new green one. Unfortunately, the color green has changed and is different than pictured, I tried wearing it a few days to see if it grew in me but I really don’t like the color… I’m very picky about colors. **See later in review for a shocking DIY Color Discovery if your like me an prefer the old green or have a yellowed clear band**Other than the very disappointing color difference, there were a couple changes to the watch band; three raised stripes inside on top and bottom of the watch face area that allow for better drying when water or moisture collects (good) and the watch band hole placement requires on setting tighter than the old watch in new condition.This is a problem for smaller wrists, as it is on the older design, I start out 4th hole position from smallest and after 2yrs go to 3rd position. On the new one I’m starting out on 3rd and will likely move to 2nd after a month or so break in.Ok, so more about the color situation— I had a last ditch idea having just dyed a t-shirt black and not wanting to toss my old clear band or live with the new green one. I had leftover black rit dye (standard, not the one for synthetics, which I imagine may work better). So, I figured I’d dye my yellowed clear band a shade of grey-black. But as black dye is a mix of different colors, sometimes yellows, blues, reds, greens etc. and the dye is really meant for fabrics, I wasn’t sure what shade it’d end up.I washed the watch band with dish soap to make sure it had the best chance for dye adhesion. I put about 1/8cup black dye in about 2/3c just off the boil ~205F water in a cup that had the watch band fully submerged (i did pre heat the watch band and cup with boiling water before adding to make sure highest temp was achieved) and left it for a couple hours*.I was absolutely astonished to discover the watch band color when pulling it out was nearly identical to the original green. Seriously, I’ve a keen eye for color so was almost sure I spaced and put my broken watch band in instead of clear, because what are the chances that black dye would achieve the nearly identical green I longed for?! mind blown. *To hopefully help reduce initial color bleed/fade, I ran the freshly dyed band under cold water, did an ice water plunge and vinegar + cold water for the heck of it then washed with soap and water—not sure if any of this helped lock in color but sharing just in case.There was some dye transfer for the first couple of days but over a week in and the color remains even (see photo with paper crane fabric) and transfer has stopped. I’ll try dying the new green watch next and might order some more clear bands and dye them. See photos.So, when your clear band yellows don’t toss it, dye it! Or if you’re as particular about the original green as shown in earlier reviews and (at the time of this review) the product photos as I am, maybe black Rit dye will solve your color woes as it did mine.Photo with all three bands shows new lighter green ordered Sept 2023 with original green from 2021 in middle and dyed clear band (from 2021) in center.Photo with two bands shows dyed clear band (black Rit dye) next to original green ban with 2 years of wear.Photo with one band on fabric shows dyed clear band one week post dyeing after continual wear (including sweaty workouts).

So cute

Still use it to this day

Love the style but it is so stiff…. A little more flexibility in the band would make it wear better

Super cute and super bright. I love the band HOWEVER I have a screen protector on my Apple Watch this band will made it lift on the corner. After that my screen protector never laid flat and always caught on things. I would recommend only using this band if you don’t have a screen protector on your watch
