Meet the replica of the link bracelet for Apple Watch, which costs much less than the original

A curious business that has appeared next to the Apple Watch is the straps/pulses for it. Business for Apple that sells them separately and interchangeable and business for third parties that release their own versions or replicas similar to those of Apple. Which ones do you buy? It depends on many things, for example the price or value we give to the bracelet. However, there is no denying that the catalogue and the offer available is interesting.

I’m not particularly a fan of changing the strap every day or collecting them. For the fact of practicing swimming I usually limit myself to an Apple sports strap (the most suitable for water) and when I go to some event or a more serious situation I use a Milanese Loop (which is the one that came with the watch when I purchased it). It doesn’t mean that I don’t arouse my curiosity the rest of the straps, and even more so, the curiosity to see how well the officers are imitated.

For this reason I decided to try one of the most popular replicas out there for the link bracelet sold by Apple. The Apple link bracelet is one of the most expensive right now in your store, available for 499 usd (and before its price was even higher). That a store offers it almost ten times cheaper with the promise that the result is equal… aroused in my curiosity. I got a lululook link bracelet.

How to tell if it’s a replica

The case where the bracelet comes is not very there when compared to those used by Apple. That said, enough to protect the bracelet and prevent damage. Inside the box itself we find the bracelet without any other accessories. Unlike others, this one does not need extra accessories to remove or put links.

In my case I opted for a space black bracelet and for a 42/44 mm Apple Watch. There is also a silver version and version for the Apple Watch of 38/40 mm. The colors are actually identical to the shades offered by Apple on its official wristband.

The first step was to put on my bracelet. The first thing I did when I put on the bracelet was adjust it. Link bracelets do not fit the wrist by squeezing more or less, but you have to follow a special method. This method is based on putting or removing links from the bracelet to make it larger or smaller. On the inside of the bracelet we find a kind of buttons that when pressed the links are released. It is a mechanism similar to that used to take the bracelet to the watch itself. In my case I removed a total of five links to fit the size of my wrist.

The second step was to use the bracelet for a week to see what the result is. What you notice at the beginning is that it obviously weighs more than others, this is obvious considering that it is made of stainless steel and happens with both Apple’s and other link bracelets. The funny thing is that I expected it to become annoying, in case it got hooked or squeezed against the skin in certain positions. It didn’t happen, it has a really nice touch. Anyway, it’s really the same as any other decent link bracelet.

During the time I was using it, I stayed with different people, some more understood about the matter and others who had no idea. I even met a watch buff to see what he thought. Some of the people who noticed that I changed my bracelet gave me comments like «I can’t believe you bought the Apple Face Bracelet». The watch buff said Apple does «a good job and tops them up well with the watches it sells.» Indeed, no one thought it could be a replica.

Firm construction and careful detailed

The look of the bracelet is really like that of the official Apple. Also made of stainless steel and with butterfly closure mechanism, the truth is that it is impossible to appreciate at first glance that it is not the original. Is this what’s important on the bracelet? I think no, I think the important thing is the fact that a good finish and construction has been achieved, regardless of whether or not it is identical to the design officer.

the links of the bracelet fit properly and none is loosened or loose (unless you want to remove them, of course). A detail that always falters the unofficial straps/pulses as I have been told by several people is by the fit with the watch. In this case I think it is perfect, in the photos you can see that you hardly leave room between bracelet and watch in the lace.

The bracelet has endured without problems during the time of use, I have not been afraid that the watch is usually usually. On the other hand, some other blow has been taken and so far it has no scratch.

Lululook link bracelet for Apple Watch

I am pleasantly surprised with the bracelet. I usually disown the replicas in general, of anything. Here however I have shown that you can effectively get a quality product. I don’t think I use it every day because, as I indicated, I’m from the sports bracelet because I practice swimming. But I’m going to use it on many occasions where I used to only use the Millanese Loop.

By appearance, unless you’re very chechismiquis, you won’t notice details if you don’t look at it in depth. Is it worth it then? We are talking about 53 euros compared to 499 euros… it’s crazy the difference and only with this should be enough argument to say it’s a worthwhile bracelet.

The Lululook link bracelet can be purchased from the company’s official website. It is a secure payment as it is processed by bank card and with verification. Or if you prefer, you can pay directly with Apple Pay. Shipping is free, although if you want you can order an urgent shipment for an extra few drinks.
