CBIN Quick Release Bracelet - Width 16mm / 18mm / 20mm / 22mm / 24mm Stainless Steel Strap Wrist Band Replacement Watch Bands

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.

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.

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.

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

Mixed feelings on this item but customer service is good after reading my review they emailed to check in on me... Initial quality is ok... seems about the same other 3rd party replacements. Nice... not completely black... a slight amount of brown... just like the s3 frontier body. The top and back are matte anodized look... don't know if it is anodized. But the sides are glossy black... Looks really nice actually. There is allot of play with the links... nothing like my metal bands from Timex, Citizen, Bolova, ESQ, etc... so compared to my other watches it feels cheap. But not sure i can find a good quality oem feeling band anywhere. Street am afternoon of wear i did get some color rubbing off... hope or doesn't continue. Also developed a rash as i do when I'm not wearing high quality stainless steel. Will update of anything changes.
