Juntan Stainless Steel Curved Solid End Tapered Watch Band, 18mm 20mm 21mm 22mm Watch Bands Metal Watch Strap Bracelet Deployment Double FlipLock Buckle Silver Black Silver Gold

Great band, looks perfect on my Seiko 5 Sport!!! FYI installing was not easy, I had to "push" the bracket into the watch case to open it up a bit for fit with the spring bar holes. Once that was accomplished, it looks outstanding--see the pic. I am very happy with the look and feel. The band has some weight to it, make the watch feel substantial in a good way.

Despite some negative reviews about this Product I gave it a try. For me, if you are an Amazon, prime member, almost anything you order is worry free. Consider what you are ordering. This is an aftermarket band for your watch. Not all aftermarket products are going to be a perfect fit. But that’s what’s nice about Amazon as you can make returns. I couldn’t give this product 4 star review or a 4 1/2 star review so I will give it a five star review. A four star review would be too low but a 4 1/2 star review would be most appropriate. I bought this for my black chronograph Seiko watch Model: SSB359 that takes a 22 mm band. The product came nicely packaged, well wrapped, with all the tools to uninstall your band and install the new band plus pins. That’s a great deal! The band is solid steel and heavy like a good watch band should be. I have worn this band for a few months now there are no scratches and the paint is not wearing off. I was able to use the original pins that came with my watch. This made me happy because the pins that came with my watch appear to be more sturdy than the ones that come with the new band. It was a tight fit, but I was pleased that I could use the original ones. The curved end piece that rests by the case is the last piece that gives your watch that finished look and was what I was most concerned about fitting right. This is the only part of the band as to why I would give this product a 4 1/2 star review. Because one side fits perfectly and the other side is hair big and occasionally gets hung up between the case and the pin arm connecting points of the watch. But it works, and with time it will probably wear in without any noticeable damage to the watch. Yes, this part is hollow and not solid. But you are buying an aftermarket affordable watchband. If that part had not worked, I probably would have returned it, but it looks excellent and I’m still wearing it today. Give it a try there’s nothing to lose with the product! Update: over a year later the watch band is still good some minor wear is showing on the watchband that may have been rubbing against my desk also it’s a little looser. Not to big of a deal just a part of having a black watch band at this price. Still totally happy with this product.

There is much to like with this bracelet. Let us start with the 4-tier packaging. The first tier was a plastic film shrink wrapped around the bracelet, to protect it from scratches. And then the bracelet was inserted into a plastic overwrap. And then the bracelet with the shrink wrap plastic plus the plastic overwrap, was inside a zip-lock plastic bag. Finally, this bracelet (with shrink wrapped plastic, inside plastic overwrap, inside plastic zip lock bag) was inside a firm carton box, which was secured shut with thin plastic bands on both ends. See picture with 4 levels of protective packaging. I say every effort was made to get this to buyers in pristine condition. Second, it came with helpful items, specifically tools and spare parts. Included was a spring bar tool (to help remove and attach spring bars), a bracelet push-pin remover and installer tool, spare spring bars, and spare push-pin tips for the push-pin tool. See picture of the tools and spare parts. I say every effort was made to make it easier for the buyer to install this bracelet. Third, the bracelet is of very nice quality, certainly better than bracelets that come with many Seiko 5 watches. At the price I paid for it, I did not expect milled clasp, solid end links, or screw connected links, so I was satisfied with the stamped clasp, end links that are hollow, and links connected with push pins. The main issue with aftermarket bracelets tend to be the end links, and how that fits with the owner's watch. I have worked with several bracelets and watches. Always some adjustment is needed in the end link. For this reason, I prefer hollow end links: they are easier to manipulate and "twist" into the needed shape (compared to solid end links which can't be "shaped" to fit). I used two small jewelry pliers to manipulate the hollow end links into the shape needed to fit like a charm. For my watch, I had to press the "top edges" down (lower the side height of the end link), while twisting the bottom flanges "out" (increase the space to easier slide the end link in between the lugs). It was neither quick nor child play easy. But it wasn't egregiously difficult either. A few trial and error end link adjustments, and I got it to fit perfectly, as if the hollow end link was designed for my watch (my watch for this bracelet has an Ollech and Wajs "M-Series" diver case). If I hadn't been able to make it fit, I would have brought it to our nearby watch repair shop and have them work with it, rather than give up on a perfectly fine bracelet. And I would be willing to pay the reasonable fee to my favorite watch repair shop if they were able to install what I could not. Sadly, I think there is a main design flaw. With the bracelet I received, the pin that supports the outer "flip lock" is actually composed of 2 pieces. And the two pieces are not screwed together, only "friction" attached. In my case, that friction failed quickly, and the pin separated into the 2 component pieces (see picture and video). With the pin broken, the flip lock falls out. Without that last flip lock the whole bracelet no longer feels or looks right. This reminds us of Benjamin Franklin's Proverb: "For want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, the horse was lost... all for want of care about a horse-shoe nail." I think the designer should design the latch without that exterior flip lock, many bracelets just use a push button latch anyway (that flip lock has become another failure point). Or, they could use a 1-piece pin that will not separate into pieces. I'll try to use super glue to attach the two pin pieces into one pin. If this review isn't edited at some future point, you can assume the fix worked, and the pin "held", and the bracelet works as it should. If it fails, I'll edit this review to add the sad result. To end, I would have wanted to rate it 5 stars, but I can't on account of a bad flip lock pin. But I think I can fix the issue with simple super glue, and can use the bracelet. And with everything so good about it: the quality of the bracelet links, the attention to packaging, the tools and spare parts, I'm comfortable keeping the 4 other stars in place.

If I could give this more stars I would. For $20 this watch band is a tremendous value. Solid brushed stainless steel with a good heavy feel. Plus, they include all of the tools you need to make the change! I had this Hamilton watch for approx. 20 years, and the original stainless band was shot. Hamilton wanted $150 for an OEM replacement band. I took a chance on this, and it fits perfectly. BTW, I went to a watch store and their stainless bans where $90+ and they were not as solid as this band. Very happy.

It's a nice bracelet for the price, obviously there are better bracelets but this one for a not so expensive watch it's very nice. The micro-adjustable clasp is a nice detail to have. I got it for a Seiko SNM035 which has a very chunky (tall) case and fits nicely, but I need further to adjust the curved ends of the bracelet. Also the bracelet pins are too thin for the size of the bracelet pin holes so it has a play that makes the bracelet ends look a little bit crooked when wearing it. Installing the bracelet is a pain in the neck for the first end, for the second end you already know how to do it. But, it's such a pain to install that I don't want to uninstall just to adjust the curved ends.

Citizen Promaster Based on some of the reviews, I was slightly hesitant to try this band, however, with Prime you really have nothing to lose. It came in a nice box with all the tools you'd need. I used my own, but it's a nice inclusion if you have nothing else. Having said that, the (hollow) end links did require some manipulation to fit my watch. I had to open up the links a little bit to fit my watch, and then once everything was installed, I ended up taking a pliers and crimping them to fit more snug as I opened them up a tad to much (which allowed a little slop/gap in the bracelet). One thing I wish I had done though, is used a little protection between the pliers and metal of the band. You can see a little in the pictures where I scratched it a little. I knew it was going to happen, but me being me, rushed though it and did it anyway. I was able to sand and polish them out good enough to my liking, and the casing on my watch is far from perfect anyway. I beat the heck out of this thing. The bracelet itself isn't too bad honestly, especially for the price. It doesn't feel chintzy in your hands, but, when and if it jingles a little on your wrist, it sounds a little cheap if that makes sense. But again for the price, what do you expect. Also important to note is that it is not a hair grabber! I actually had a long time ago, a Citizen that was actually unbearable to wear as I have pretty hairy arms. This one though, no problem. One other thing to note, is the bracelet did not have arrows showing which way the pins come out while sizing (as shown in the instructions). Not a big deal as I've done it before and knew which end was which, but just something to note. All in all, I'd give this a shot, especially if you don't mind tinkering a little bit. I'm super happy I did. This Promaster is one of my favorite watches ever and not that I hated the black strap (although stiff), this bracelet kicked it up a level in my opinion. It feels like a brand new watch, and even looks a bit more expensive, imo.

I have a 1985 Tag Heuer 1000 and was looking for an affordable replacement for the original jubilee bracelet that is a little faded and stretched. I didn’t have high expectations for this bracelet, but I have to say I am thoroughly pleased. It obviously doesn’t have the heft or build quality of a genuine Tag Heuer bracelet, but for $20 it is sturdy and very closely matches the curve and brushed finish of my 40 year old diver. The tools that it came with were a nice bonus - not high quality but they did the job. Installation was straightforward, which is to say that it is no more or less difficult than the original bracelet.

First off I rarely give 5 star reviews unless an item is spectacularly awesome so treat this 4 star review as saying it's really really good. Not much to say other than it's a great well made stainless steel bracelet. It fits my Casio MDV-106 like it was made for it and kicks it up several notches from the factory supplied resin band. Take a look.
