Nice bracelet but no micro-adjustment? That's just crazy.
This could have been a five star gamechanging product, but two flaws make it a three star head scratcher.First of all, if it happens to fit right out of the box, or after removing a link or two or three, and you don't plan on swapping it out with other quick release straps, then great. It is a great looking bracelet that features solid main and end links, nice design and a beautiful satin finish. That's an amazing achievement at this price point. But the odds of actually getting a good fit are pretty low, because there is no way to micro-adjust this bracelet, which I find mildly astounding. The links are a little over 7.5 mm long, so if it's a bit loose and you remove a link it will be so tight as to be unwearable, and if it's uncomfortably tight and you add back a link, it will be flopping and sliding around on your arm like a charm bracelet. That's why virtually all watch bracelets have micro-adjustment capability, which is usually around 2mm. Every other bracelet I've ever encountered has at least one micro-adjustment and most have three or more. If hitting the $15 price point was why they did this maybe they should have left out the link removal tool.The other problem is that the quick release spring bars have nothing to hold them in place and installing the bracelet without having them fall out is not easy and defeats the reason for using them in the first place. I'm glad they include two extra, because I lost one in my carpet almost immediately.In short this could have been a great product and may work fine for some people, but most people will not be able to get a good fit, which is a shame, because it's a very attractive product at a very attractive price.

Decent for the price, very worth it to get the little re-sizing tool included.
A cheap watch bracelet, perfectly fine at this price. The quality is clearly pretty low-- the joints aren't particularly tight, the clasp lacks that solid feel that nicer watch bands have, and the finish is a little rough-- edges are sharper than you'd prefer. However, at the price, these are not unexpected, and the band looks pretty reasonable. I put it on a cheap Wenger watch I picked up on the cheap. The watch when I got it was saddled with a hideous band, but it paid so little for the watch that I could hardly justify spending more than this on a new band. I think it looks pretty cool with this set up, couldn't be happier.The little red tool for removing links is easy to use and makes sizing the watch a breeze-- just remember to push the pins out in the direction indicated by the arrow on the inside of each link. Too easy. Its nice that they tossed that tool in with the deal.

Replacement Steel Band
I ordered this metal watch band to replace the rubber band that came with the Citizen Eco-Drive diver watch I purchased a while ago. I didn't want to spend too much money on the band so I settled with this one (silver). While fairly light in weight, it performs as described, can't possibly complain given the price I paid for. Band came in a small box, well packaged in plastic wraps and also came with a small band pin remover tool that worked quite well. The "easy remover" feature of the pin that attaches to the watch is something I have never seen before and have reservations as to how sturdy its construction is but only time will tell. This band matches the diver watch quite well in my view and am quite satisfied with the band for what it is.

You get what you pay for
Before purchasing or buying this watch band you need to ask yourself first how much do you expect out of it? I bought a couple of these in 2 different sizes considering the low price. Let's be honest, for this price, the product is just excellent. However, I doubt that someone who paid more than $200 for a watch would like replacing the original strap with this one.While the strap itself looks really nice with an even high-quality finish, it has this rattling noise that would manage to turn off any serious watch lover. High-end straps are usually very comfy and SILENT. This noise issue is typical with cheap watch strap that contains links with oversized gaps allowing them to pump into each other creating that unpleasant cheap sound. The same issue causes hair to be stuck between the gaps and "ouch" everytime the watch slips over your wrist.The only turn around I found to get rid of these issues is by simply adjusting the strap to be super tight on your wrist which prevents the links from moving at all. But again that's just inconvenient.So again, for the price, I can't complain much, the strap comes with everything you need to adjust it. It comes protected with nylon cover inside a box. It's absolutely long enough for any wrist size and not too heavy. I would have recommended adding at least one half size link for a perfect fit. All in all a very good product, but if you have a nice watch that you want to treat well, consider paying more and getting a higher quality strap that would complete your watch and always remember... You get what you pay for

Excellent quality
I wanted to spruce up the Wenger Men's Offroad GMT watch which originally came with a black silicone band. The original band was still nice a year after wearing it, but I wanted a different look and I like one-handed operation of the stainless steel link band's clasp, similar to other watches I have. I was a little wary of what I would get for $16 in ordering this band, but I have been very positively impressed with the quality. Style is, of course, what you personally like, and I happen to like this band style a lot. A cool bonus was the included link removal/installation tool that came with this band which I can use on other bands whenever they need adjustments.The band installed and adjusted very easily. The included pins that are used to attach the band to the watch are unique in that they have small levers/handles that are used to compress the pins for installation and removal. The band is slotted on its ends to accept these and they make installing and removing the band a snap. Nice touch!I gave this purchase 5 stars and I feel it is deserved. If you need a good quality stainless steel watch band and like this style, its an excellent purchase for not a lot of dough. Well thought out features, build, and included tool.
