Terrible customer service. I now have two watch covers that I cannot use due to one being the wrong colour (pink instead of rose gold as advertised) and another that was ordered as a replacement that was the incorrect size (the team member didn't confirm with me or pick it up that it was wrong before confirming the order) I have asked for a… Read more
refund if I send all of them back but that request was rejected as they had already 'sent a replacement' - even though another team member had told me that was an option earlier. I was instead offered a 30% refund for my initial purchase and to keep the two watch covers that I cannot use - so I got back $9.95 and have two useless watch covers.
Do not recommend this company. Their watch covers are also terrible quality
Absolutely disappointed with my experience with Astra Straps. I ordered an IRE Luxury metal band which looked great online, but when it arrived the material felt extremely cheap and nasty — nothing like what was advertised. To make matters worse, the band cannot even be adjusted properly, so the fit was ridiculously oversized and basically… Read more
unwearable.
I contacted customer service immediately requesting a refund. They took forever to respond, and instead of simply processing the refund they continuously tried to push other “solutions” and discounts I didn’t ask for. Every time I clearly requested a refund, I’d get another email offering 50% off another band — why would I want another product when the quality of the first one was terrible?
After all the back and forth, they finally agreed to refund me but still deducted a $7 postage fee, which is excessive considering it does not cost $7 to send the item back.
Overall, extremely poor quality products and frustrating customer service. I will never shop here again and would not recommend anyone else waste their money either.
Cheap and tacky!!! the listing for the item I bought looks as though the case and band are one whole item, but actually arrived as seperate items. The band is metal but the case is a flimsy plastic. They even have fake screw details that make the item seem look like it is all one metal. The case does not have any protective glass in it, despite the fact that the item is marketed as "protective" and "scratch resistant"

Great reliable product at a fraction of the cost compared to the Apple one!! Show details
Great product, great options for other watch straps, delivery a bit slow, but overall a 10/10 experience. Show details
Quality is really good and price could be lower. But overall very good experience. I recommend to buy from Astra Straps. Show details
The product did not meet the quality standards I was led to believe. Show details
Over a week after I ordered I got an email to say the colour I ordered is out of stock. I agreed to a new colour which then took another three weeks to come.. my band is meant to be genuine leather which definitely is not, and the buckle is very chunky and digs into your wrist. Very uncomfortable. Overall not thrilled Show details
I was so happy with my first purchase of an Astra watch and that I decided on a second Obruo band. Again purchase and delivery were seamless and I was very happy with the colour and pattern of the band. Will definitely be looking for a third!! Show details

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. It is exactly what I was expecting and what was displayed on the website. Wait time for delivery was fairly long but thats only because of the distance that it has to travel to get to me. (China to Australia)

What can I say except the wait was worth it. I absolutely love my new band. Exactly as advertised. I had another silver band but does not even compete with this band. I definitely recommend getting one for yourself. Show details
The ship straight from Temu so save your dollars and go straight to Temu they’re just a middle man taking all a massive percentage of profit for nothing.

Well the actual ordering, and subsequent follow-up, with AstraStraps couldn't be faulted. They are a great crew to deal with. The wrist strap is great and just what was needed as my older bad was failing. Unfortunately I think the delivery company… Read more
left a lot to be desired. Maybe they can move to a mechanised delivery system rather than a horse and cart. So company excellent but delivery mob so so.
Follow-up · So far so good but it's only been a month usage. I would consider purchasing again if we could change the delivery company.
Garbage! The red colour started peeling within a couple days. They don’t do refunds on “used” goods so trying to buy another that hopefully won’t look awful within a week. Show details
Follow-up · Wish I read the other reviews before buying. They sent a replacement band I picked out. Sure it looks nice but the clasp is impossible to open. The rusty pins broke when removing to resize. They kept sending me emails hassling me until I blocked them. Since bought a nice band on TEMU for a few dollars.
Positive reviews
Parcel from China seems to have been stuck at the airport but when I contacted them about it delay it had arrived in Australia 12days later which is unusually long time but now I know it coming I am relieved Show details
Overall, it’s been a great experience. Finding the right band wasn’t super easy at first, and the filters didn’t work 100%, but once I received the watch straps, I was really impressed with the quality and how good they looked. The fit was slightly off, however. When dealing with customer support (Sherwin), they were absolutely amazing — providing… Read more
constant updates, really understanding the issue, and working quickly to resolve it. I’d 100% recommend making a purchase. Even if something isn’t quite right, their customer support and commitment to satisfaction are among the best I’ve experienced.
This watch strap is one of the nicest and most flattering I have bought. It is exactly true to what I hoped I had purchased and looks elegant on my wrist. Thank you Astra Strap.
Negative reviews
Do not order from this company They said based in Australia but shipped from china , it took five week. Quality is disgusting and not worth to pay less than 10cents. Refund requested and keep rejecting and offer to send new. Do not buy this!!! Total wasting garbage
I ordered Amare Slim Sillicone band. Blue I didn’t realise that I double ordered the product. I have to give one of them to my niece. They arrived here other day and I had been ordered on 3rd April. Long wait for them to arrive here. It looks lovely. Thank you. Show details
Strap was delivered in a timely manner BUT there is definitely something wrong with a company with an AU website dropshipping from China. Especially since the products they sell at 50% discount can be purchased direct from Aliexpress for prices ranging from $3.00 to $4.00. I paid $49.99 from Astra I have 5 more coming from Aliexpress for a total… Read more
cost of $21.00. The band is generically branded and has no Astra bands development. A cheap way to do business when you simply set up a website and have a total “hands off” approach. Buy from Aliexpress instead and save your money. I have included a photo of the exact band I received. The image is from Aliexpress

Didn’t like the straps and asked for a refund. They keep making offers and not providing the refund as advertised on their website. Now they are unresponsive. Do not buy from this site. Show details

The shipping on this product is straight out of a factory in China and took 5 weeks to arrive! Order much cheaper of Temu. It says Astra straps Australia it is not in Australia. The band also gave me a rash it must have nickel in the metal clip. Show details
Although it took a long time to arrive the staff were extremely helpful and prompt in their responses. My only issue now is how to fasten the band, which I will contact customer support again. Show details
Communication was good but product was completely useless. Ladies gold chain Apple Watch band arrived without a functional clasp to take the watch on and off. Not a practical or workable product Show details
This company claim to be an Australian company, yet I have been waiting 18 days for my watch strap to leave China. Had I known this company was charging $40 for a cheap temu strap from China I would not have ordered! Highly disappointed!
Second band I've bought. I bought exactly the same one again. The first finally broke after 5yrs after lots of wear and tear including swimming. Everyone comments on my watch band. I love it. Show details
I ordered a strap for my Fitbit versa 4. Read the reviews, sounded good. Firstly they are not Australia based but it comes directly from China, takes about 10-14 days for delivery. Secondly it did not fit my Fitbit. Contacted customer service who were very helpful although had to send videos of the failing product. They sent me a new strap… Read more
(exactly the same as the first) which also does not fit. I can’t be bothered to go back to them, it’s quite obviously a scam. I ordered a REAL Fitbit strap from google shop which arrived in 2 days later which tbh I wish I’d done in the first place but I didn’t know that you could do this. Complete waste of $25.
The Astra Straps team had brilliant customer service, when I was raising questions, the staff responded promptly and were helpful. Shipping took about 2 weeks. Products are exactly as ordered. Show details
Love the leather watch band, however it took me some time to work out how to do it up. I thought the band was just a simple closure when I purchased it. I was worried I may break it. It makes sense once you work it out. Show reply
