Does anyone have any experience with and/or feedback for Spartan Watch Company's Apple Watch bands? I'm seeing them advertised all over and am wondering if they are decent or not.

Thanks...

Sorry, no.

I seek crowd-sourced reviews and concentrate on the percentage of low reviews. That helps me assess the risk of making a bargain or unknown to me brand or item.

My always hesitating to get 3rd party bands is fueled by my outdoor and action sports activities. I don't want a bump or the motion mountain biking, trail building or snorkeling to leave the watch behind. For some I read about the lugs failing. For some sport loop types I've read about the glued velcro coming off.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I often read reviews as well... and I recently followed a sub reddit about Apple Watch bands. I'm curious about where you find crowd-sourced reviews?

Thanks!

Amazon where I realize it does not cover all makes, and that you need lots of reviews to know they're not fake.

Agreed! I always read reviews, sometimes ask questions... and on the flip side, I always answer questions I get and give fair and honest reviews of the bands I buy.
