I want to warn all MacRumor readers.
A short while ago I purchased an Ultra 2 Apple Watch.
I wanted a casual day to day strap and Swisst kept coming up on Google. I dropped $49 on what was meant to be a premium band with titanium connectors.
What I received was a cheap AliExpress band worth no more than $10.
The “titanium” parts were actually steel (I tested it with a magnet and they stuck to it like glue), and instead of a clasp, I received a buckle instead. Also steel and polished so none of the metal matched to my Ultra 2 case.
Add to the fact it came in generic packaging with nothing mentioning Swisst. It was obviously ordered from AliExpress or similar.
After contacting Swisst asking for a full refund, they offered 50% back which I declined.
They offered a full refund but only if I returned the item to the US. (I live in Spain so tracked postage would be another $50).
I ask they pay for postage and eventually settled for a 70% refund.
I still felt scammed as I ended up with something that is now in the bin.
Read the reviews. Swisst is full of negative comments.
Buyers are simply resold massively inflated cheap AliExpress products. Not just straps but all of it.
Short of the long, they are like cockroaches over Google when searching for Apple Watch straps.
Avoid them like the plague.
