VICARA Compatible with Galaxy Watch Active (40mm) Bands, Stainless Steel Band + Mesh Metal Replacement Band for Galaxy Watch Active SM-R500 Smart Watch (2 Pack Black)

The included band that comes with the Silver Galaxy Watch Active is U-G-L-Y. I'm not even sure what to describe the color. Functional, if you need if you take it swimming or on a run. It would have been better if they just included the black band.However, for those moments when you need to class it up, this band works great. The stainless-steel band is heaver of course but looks way better with the silver case. I had to remove one link for my 7 ¼ inch wrist (18.4 cm). The included tools work great for this.One note about charging… since the steel band is a continuous loop it works fine with the charger included the Galaxy Watch Active but no so much a “standard” flat wireless QI charger.The Milanese loop also included, is a just a bit too small to fit over my hand (which is why I give the review 4 stars) and I need to pull it out of the attachment and loop it back through. Not preferred. It too looks better IMO than the included band. This band is my preferred band for workouts since it is a mesh and allows for more air to get through. For those not familier, these type of bands have a magnetic clasp which can get annoying when putting away silverware ;-)Overall, a very nice package for the price.

Best I've ever had, I just wish the pins were embedded like on the original band. Still quick release, but the pins go flying so I wouldn't get it if you are going to do a "hot swap" before the gym like an expensive Apple watch band. Still, GREAT value, 2 covers AND 2 bands!!!

I like everything

Product exactly as described. Goes very well with my watch and it is not too hard to remove the links either.

I have the Rose Gold watch face for the Galaxy Watch Active and the bands labeled as "Rose Gold" replacements were far from Rose Gold and much more like a gold/copper color. It is definitely more defined in person than the picture attached but I wouldn't recommend this if you're expecting the band to match your Rose Gold watch face.

Each band requires you put together the bits and pieces to connect it to the watch (as they aren't attached), which easily fall out with every tiny move you make. It took me about 15 min to attach it the first time. I was hoping that that would be easily interchangeable with the silicone band that came with the Active, so that I could regularly change it for the gym, but that's an absolute no-go. I also imagine that the mesh band would rip out arm hair on anyone with hairier arms than me (I'm a not very hairy woman).

Both bands are extremely well-made and easily clipped on/off. They are comfortable to leave on all day and the mesh band is comfortable enough to leave on overnight. A great deal for the price!

They came with all the things needed for replacement, and exactly as expected.
