Milanese Loop Watchband

I was having the same issue with my watch band that I have had for a few years. Look at the magnetic clasp that secures to the band and you will see a rectangular plate. I pushed on my plate an it came loose exposing the interior. I looked inside the magnetic compartment and saw that there was rust. I then took an eyeglass cleaner packet that you use to clean eyeglasses which also has a little rubbing alcohol and cleaned the inner compartment. I then reattached the plate covering the magnet compartment and my problem was solved. I now have to figure out what substance will secure the plate to the magnet compartment. This process is a temporary solution that helps prevent you from replacing this expensive band. Hope it works for you!

I don’t personally own that band, but I should think you would need to replace it. (The band)

Hi

What was the strength of the magnet when you first bought it? I have tried a generic copy at 1/5 of the price, but the magent is weak to hold the band together. I was wondering, does Apple-branded Milanese loop justified the price?
