Six months after the Apple Watch launches, there are not many dozens of hundreds of third -party band options in the market, but there are dozens of users, allowing them to customize their clocks that offer Apple beyond the appearances. Gistware has created a line of different colors that look great with Apple Watch and have created a line of Apple Watch bands and buy less than Apple’s own metal bands, and it provides matching bracelets.
The Gistware Apple Watch has a neutral appearance that is not too feminine or excessively masculine, it makes it suitable for all wearers. Aesthetically, this is a simple but classic-cheerful link-style band that is short enough to match the different types of different types. All bands are stainless steel, but some have colorful plated to some. The following color options are available:
38 mm – black, rose gold, silver, yellow gold
42 mm – Gunmetal, Navy, Silver, Yellow Gold
The 42mm Apple Watch bands are 24 mm wide, while the bands designed for small 38 mm Apple Watch are 22 mm wide. 42 mm bands are available in small, medium, large and extra large, capable of fitting up to 146 mm to 210 mm.
The 38 mm bands are available in additional small, small, medium and large to fit the wrist from 130 mm to 190 mm. I have a wrist that is about 135 mm, so I ordered extra small and fits it very well. All bands are actually elastic stretch bands, some of them allow the Wigle Room to fit the wrist to different sizes. My band spreads to my wrist, but it is easy to get back and if my wrist is swollen a bit during the day due to heat or practice.
The gistware suggests to measure the wrist with a measurement tape and match the circumference of its size chart. Although there is a wide range of wrist size, the company is shaped in size, because any jewelry is able to remove links from the watch band for better fit.
The band stretch makes even comfortable to wear even for a long time during practice and sleep, but there is a tendency to catch hair and skin. I sometimes got stuck in my hair while keeping the ponytail or even when I didn’t have too much hands I could imagine that someone who could have this band had problems. When I put it on it gives my skin a pinch from time to time and every time I just got a light pinch during the daily dress, it was just a little annoyance.
I appreciated the elastic band because it made it easier to move and stop Apple Watch and it removed the need for a bark, which I found on the way to typing and other bands with other bands. The clock build quality was great, but it easily scratched. I was injured with a number of scratches at the bottom of my band.
Apple Watch Bands of the Gistware connect most of the third party bands, using adapters sliding on Apple Watch slots. The adapters of the gastware completely snap in place, but you need to be lined in the right corner or may be difficult to insert them. They make the existware band a bit stronger than Apple’s own bands, but not too much.
By color, stainless steel adapters that I tested were sent to the Stainless Steel Existware band was a perfect match. The finish is the same and there is no color difference between Apple Watch and Adapter, which I am fascinated. I have the Apple Watch Band on the other third party and the finish is not always a good match.
Shipping adapters with existware bands simply come into shiny stainless steel, so they do not match Aluminum Apple Watch Sport or Black Stainless Steel Apple Watch, this is a big negative. I hope that most people don’t want to wear such a band with adapters that don’t match their clock, so I just recommend existware bands to those Stainless Steel Apple Watch.
I did not experiment with a bracelet with the Gistware Apple Watch Band, but I would warn against the Apple Watch, especially against the stainless steel version. When I first got my Apple Watch I wore it with a small gold bracelet, which finished it by scratching it pretty badly. I am not sure that the gistware bracelets will do the same, but I advise to be careful about something that can cause harm.
Bottom line
As someone smaller than the average wrist size, I appreciated the size of the size of the existware and the band stretch of the band. The Gistware band fits much better than other bands in my wrist and the well fitted band looks beautiful on my wrist. I got a number of praise in my watch band while I examine it.
The gistware is also comfortable for the daytime because it extends somewhat and even though I usually don’t care for the feeling of metal bands, the gistware never bothers me. For $ 125, the gistware is not cheap, and I was not thrilled to scratch the way it scratched from everyday use.
It was said that scratches were not too down to overall aesthetics and I had a few more complaints about the watch band. I will warn them with lots of arm hair against the gestwear, as the expanded band will catch the hair in the links.
The gestwear simply sends these clocks with stainless steel adapters, which means they are only suitable for Stainless Steel Apple Watch. If you have a Black Stainless Steel Apple Watch or an Apple Watch Sport, I’ll look for a band elsewhere.
