I had an original JM bracelet for years and years and it finally broke so I upgraded to this new version. Unthinkable to go without my John Mayer string. My ONLY complaint Is that I hate the magnet closure. I wear mine on my right wrist and as I am right handed, it sticks to so many things, and shuts off my iPad sometimes when I am taking notes on it. It’s also not super easy to attached and the magnets in my broke after a short time. I managed to fix it, but it’s a drag. The bracelet is spectacular, I just wish they hadn’t changed the closure.
