RECHERE Mesh Stainless Steel Bracelet Wrist Watch Band Strap Interlock Safety Clasp Silver 18 20 22 24mm

I ordered the 22mm Rechere Mesh Stainless Steel band and it fit the 22mm lugs of my old Casio divers watch perfectly. The watch had been "sock drawered" after the band broke quite a few years back and I never got around to replacing it until now. This inexpensive band was the perfect upgrade/face lift from the standard rubber strap that originally came with the watch. I have no negatives to mention, even if I paid more for this inexpensive band replacement that came with a set of spring bars. Even at twice the price, the Rechere Mesh Stainless Steel Strap is a great deal. There are a few things worth mentioning: 1) A small pry tool, similar to a spring pin remover would be useful in sizing the watch...a small screw driver would do the job too. You need a little leverage in order to both free and lock the side of the clasp that allows you to adjust the size. I believe that the rectangular holes on the clasp are there to assist in prying. 2) When I first tried it on, it appeared to come loose very easily and the interlocking safety clasp did not appear to be doing any good. I ended up being my fault, I did not hook in the clasp correctly before I folded down the secondary safety clasp. If the safety clasp itself seems loose, the main clasp is most probably not attached properly. You may have to attach the clasp a few times while it is off your wrist to get the hang of it. The clasp, when properly attached, is very secure and should not feel like it would come loose in any way.. 3) The band is a "beefy" 2.5 mm thick, which would look out of place on a thin watch. As others have said, it more of a shark mesh rather than a Milanese band. I was originally considering a thicker band (3mm) because I was concerned that this band would look too thin on thick diver's watch. That was not the case either. 4) In my opinion, this mesh band is very comfortable to wear. It is relatively light, flexible, no sharp edges and doesn't seem to be pulling any hairs. I barely notice that the band is there, compared to watches with a heavier link bracelet that I usually wear. 5) I always liked locking clasp designs, whether a fold over or push button release, and this band has one. 6) The build quality is pretty solid.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a Milanese bracelet for $12 but I needed something for my Junghans and didn't want to break the bank. To say I was impressed with what I received is an understatement! It's not a fine Milanese bracelet like you'd get with as luxury watch but it's a solid alternative that wears very well, looks the part & has a very secure clasp. The stainless steel has a great shine & is very comfortable. Highly recommended if you want a great piece for your watch & don't want to spend a ton of money on something that you'll never notice isn't the same as this.

Pros: - A decent watch band. Isn't premium high quality, isn't supposed to be at this price point, but looks much better than it costs. - Easy to clean compared to my old leather strap, and lasts a whole lot longer. Cons: - Can catch on arm hair once in a while. It's a tiny thing though. Conclusion: - Decent!

Well made and very good looking. Inexpensive but NOT cheaply made. Heavy weight and strong. Heavier than expected. Double latch clasps for safety. Good snap to the clasps when closing. Can easily adjust size so it fits and wears very comfortably. Would work well for the smallest and largest wrists. I saw that one review said that this strap is not loose and flexible like some mesh straps. This is correct that it is not that flexible. It is a bit thicker and therefore not as flexible as a thinner strap. But....that said, it works well, is comfortable and looks good. Adds a touch of class to my watch. Overall an A+ and very glad that I purchased it.

Really nice medium mesh (2.2mm thick) with nice granularity. Was looking for something slightly more hunky, substantial, handsome than a thin, refined Milanese mesh version to beef up my lowly Timex Fairfield. Fully complements the timepiece silver and white; looks unified, and almost luxurious. My personal fun challenge was to create an affordable, eye-catching minimalist watch with an unexpected and familiar American brand; this mesh strap design and its nice qualities complete the job. Get the mesh! PS: it’s pretty flexible and comfortable; unsure what other comments were dissing on, it’s got like a 3/4” bend radius, i.e. 1.5” circle can be made with it. Most wrists are bigger 😁. Maybe inflexible in comparison to Milanese.

A few reviews mentioned it came with spring bars to use, mine did not. That wouldn’t usually be an issue because the watch I was going to put it on has bars already but this watch strap doesn’t fit those! The bars I had were too thick width wise and wouldn’t fit, so after dissecting every watch I own and don’t wear I had one bar that would fit. For the other end I pried open the opening with scissors to get the bar in and had to force it through the middle shoving it against a couch. So not easy to install essentially is what I’m saying. One it’s on I will say it’s comfortable as hell, no hair pulling and easy to adjust and put on. A little hard to take off because of the overlap but I figure that just makes it more secure even if it’s not convenient. So to sum it up, it’s great once it’s on and looks great but it somehow doesn’t fit standard lug bars and it doesn’t come with them so buyer beware.

Bracelet is ok, however, the buckle has some scratches, a bent pin, and it is loose, so loose that it doesn't click, and opens by itself all the time

Great to change the look of my vostok

I bought this in 2018. I have tried this bracelet on a Citizen Blue Angels Nighthawk as well as on a Seiko SKX007 and it fits great without worry of the clasp unbuckling. The clasp is easy to adjust by using a screwdriver or similar small-tipped flathead into the hole and pushing the locked flap up to release it. This is a good alternative to those who find regular bracelets a bit bulky. The only problems with this one is that it makes the watch look a little blingy (unless you are okay with that), plus it is very rigid so it feels like you are wearing a metal cuff. It is an acquired taste and it will make your watch feel smaller, which for me is a good thing.

Excellent watch strap, would recommend

It is a great looking strap which is very comfortable. The adjustment system is similar to that found on a Casio or many other mesh straps which allows one to perfectly adjust for their wrist size. I was also pleasantly surprised with the quality for just $18! Overall it looks great and is very comfortable but be aware that the spring bars are undersized for the ends and therefore it is a little rattly. The clasp is a bit stiff and tough to adjust at first, which is better than being able to come undone too easily if you as me.
