Unboxing

The unboxing experience has again improved over generations of products from JUUK. Honestly speaking, packaging for Vitero band has much improved over the Ligero Band, and it is well thought from customer’s perspective.

The packaging has fine color printing of the product image on both the front cover and the inside, with insignificant color difference against the actual product inside.

There is magnet on the side so you can easily open to reveal the contents. The Vitero Band is right there sitting in the EVA foam, after you lift up the transparent cover on top of it. What you should expect inside the box includes the following:

• 1 x Vitero Apple Watch Band of choice
• 1 x Link removal tool
• 3 x Spare pins for links
• 1 x JUUK Paper card with instructions

One thing I do miss in the package is a high quality micro-fibre cloth that I was able to get in their previous products. But this is not the key issue here. Let’s take a look at every parts of the bands in detail:

Impressions and Thoughts

I have been swapping the three bands around over the week while travelling aboard and have the following thoughts and comments over the bands:

About build quality:

• The Vitero band is light-weight yet slightly heavier than the Ligero band as far as I could feel it on the wrist. It is a very good match with Apple Watch Sport or Apple Watch Nike+ that have light-weight aluminum casing.
• The band curves around the wrist pretty well and fells more attached than the Ligero band.
• The links and butterfly buckle feel solid and strong. I could feel it especially during the link removal process that a good amount of force is required.
• As the color is hard anodized, the color will not be rubbed off by daily use or sweat. It is easy to be cleaned as well.

About design:

• The design is new to general public as it is very different from what people expect from an Apple Watch band and most would only know about the geniue bands from Apple. I hung around and I could get attention, inquires and compliment for this cool style band.
• The Vitero Crimson, casually known as the “Iron Man” version, is indeed a really sharp and stand-out watch band preferably going with leisure outfits.
• The Space Gray bands matches well with my Space Gray 3rd generation Nike+ Apple Watch. It looks cool but stays low profile as well.
• I do recommend getting multiple strip colors to your liking that match your frequent outfit so you will feel the style and color combination of the band blend in with your outfit.

Conclusions

Overall speaking, JUUK Design is not only keeping up their product quality and customer experience, but instead aiming higher every time with incredible creation that leads even further in the luxury Apple Watch band market. The Vitero band, again, is shipped as a perfectly designed, engineering and manufactured full package. It is definitely a great addition to your Apple Watch band collections.
